A Little Child Climbs the Dangerous

c. w. Jones. an employe of the Ellsworth Company. was driving along the transmission line yesterday after noon when he spied a little boy not more than five or six years old play ing about one of the iron poles MT Jones says he called to the youngster not to go too near when the child i'm msdiately commenced to climb the pole Jones got out of his wagon and started for the climber. but the kid let was too quick and was quite way up before Jones reached the bottom; so he climbed a bit himself and reached the boy just before he got close to the wires. Now there may or may not have been power turned on. but at any rate it might have been an other accident Children are naturally great meddlers and have q vast curi- osity, but surely they should have been warned by this time not to go near the transmission companies lines.

A BAD RUNAWAY.
Mir. and Mrs. E. H. Johnson Thrown from Buggy, Mrs. Johnson Being
 Severely Bruised Up.

Mir. and Mrs. Ellis H. Johnson were the victims of runaway accident late yesterday afternoon on the main street of Mesa City, in which both were thrown from their buggy. Mrs. Johnson being very severely but not dangerously hurt. The runaway was not only a close call for Mir. and Mrs. Johnson, but was rather spectacular performance.
 MT. and Mrs. Johnson live on a ranch near Lehi and drove into Mesa. and just as they got in front of the Mesa bakery on the main street the shaft on the right hand side parted from the axle. The horse ran the rig into that of Charles Johnson. brother of F. H. Johnson, bending an axle and breaking the 2 rear of the bed of Charles Johnson's vehicle Then she began kicking the buggy to which she was still attached by one shaft. even tually getting that one free. but not until she had overturned the rig, throwing Mir. and Mrs. Ellis Johnson to the ground, the former falling on his wife and thus escaping injury. Mrs. Johnson was taken into a drug store and given restoratives. after which J. G. Spangler. with the help of a number of gentlemen. removed her to the home of her mother. Mrs. Warren Shrine, in an automobile.
 An effort to summon physician led to the discovery that Dr. Palmer was three miles west of town and Dr. Nel- son was three miles east of town. so Dr. Moeur of Tempe was sent for. Eventually all the physicians arrived. and after an examination it was found that though Mrs. Johnson was bruised on the head and on the left arm and on the hip about the waistline, no bones were broken and the greatest injury was the nervous prostration and shock.
 Returning to the horse the spectac- ular part of the story begins. After kicking herself loose from the buggy she ran to the corner and turned to- ward the depot. Being aristocratic. she took to the sidewalk and showed the end of the shaft through a plate glass window of the Pouplar store. Continuing down the sidewalk she scattered the guests assembled in front of the Alhambra hotel. and short distance beyond she slipped on the cement and fell, but regaining her feet. she ran to the depot and thence east of town a mile and a half to the ranch of W. H. Allen, who caught her.

be remembered by the fans for many
days to come.
Harry Wheeler from Boston) the
last but not least of the three has also
pitched great ball for Hope. He has
wider curves and a more varied assort-
ment than either of the other two and
is always at his best when in a hole,
When pitching he fields half the dia-
mond and no ball is hit too hard or
fast for him to handle. He always
gets better as the game progre-se s and
is pitching stronger at the end than at
the start. s
Wheeler plays right field when not
pitching and is a star in that position
covering lots of ground and getting
everything in sight. He is a hard
worker and a fast and heady base
runner and is one of the most valuable
men on the team.
Ralph Lipps known to his team
mates as "Scrappy', has covered first
base and we want to see the man who
has anything on him at that position.
Fast and heady, full of life and work
ing all the time,he keeps the infield
going at top speed all the and his
coaching is the feature of every game.

by the bops the last six weeks of the
season, when, playeng nearly half the
games away from home, they won
nineteen games out of the last twenty
two played.
He scheduled games with all the at
fractions visiting this part of the state
and gave the fans of Hope some of the
best base ball seen here in many a
year We all hope to see him at the
head of the team next year.
The team during the season played
"a games at home and IL away from
home and have but thirteen defeates
charged up against them. Nearly all
of these being by the closest of mar
gins. A record any team may well
feel proud Of.
Fred Law, known to the base ball
fans as dad" has done the bulk OF
the catching and his work has been a
large factor in the winning of every
victory. He has played heady base
ball from beginning to end, and his
timely batting has driven many a run
across the rubber. While not quite
SO fast on his feet as the rest of the
boys, he is probably as heady a base
runner as there is on the team, and his
backstop work has been a feature OF
every game.

."Liver') is somewhat of a farmer,
any way he takes care of the centre
garden and weeds are an unknown
quantity there. He is not satisfied
however, to do his own work only and
he is always on hand to back up any
player in the field on short notice.
"Liver," not only being the best, man
Hope has had in centre field, is also
s'some punkins'' on the in-feld, hav-
ing filled in at short stop on different
occasions. He enjoys running bases
as much as anything in the game and
there is nothing doing for the poor
catcher who would throw him out on
a steal. His fielding has been the fea-
ture of several games and his happy
smile not only Keeps the team joyful
but wins the hearts in the grand stand.
The Hope pioneer. [volume] (Hope, N.D.) 1882-1964, 1909-08-12

It makes no difference where they
throw them, high, low, or to the side,
he gets them all, and is never as heppy
as when they try to "Burn him up.
He is the leading batter on the team
and is about as easy to catch on bases
as a CREASED pig on a Fourth of July.
"Scrappy'' is also a star twirler and
his team mates and the fans of Hope
are all pulling to get him back next
year.
Edgar Milligan, "the Rabbit" held
down the keystone station and can
cover more ground than any second
baseman we have een this year. Not
content with playing his position bet
ter than any man in this section of the
country, has frequently rambles over
into the automobiles on the right field
line and pulls down a difficult foul just
for diversion.
Although not much bigger than a
minute he stings the ball hard and
often and is an exceptionally hard man
to pitch to. He is full of fight and
ginger all the time and is a good side
partner to Lipps. AS a base-runner
he is feared by all opposing catchers
and never lets an opportunity pass to
advance when on the paths. We,
couldn't get along without him.
John Knoblauch known as. "Jack
Knobs' covered the shortheld and his
work has been the feature of every
game. He plays deep,ha azgood arm,
cover lots of ground and is the best
man at getting short line drives just
over the infeld, playing ball in this
part of the state. He is a hard worker,
full of life and a fine batter. Gifted
with wonderful speed, he makes life
miserable for opposing catchers who
try to catch him On the bases and is
one of the hes of a collection of star
b~ase-runners or the team. Handicap
ped this season by a weak ankle, he
has played hard and consistent ball
and has kept up his fast pace all sea-
son. We all hope he will be here to
fill the position next year.
On third base we had Earl Oscar
Hughes and he played that base like
a big leagaer. A good head, a good
arm and tightening fast on his feet, he
has made the hardest position on the
infeld look like the easiest. Opposing
teams have given up in despair in try
ing to beat out hunts on him and he is
never so happy as when catching a
foul fly among the buggies and auto
mobiles along the base line. He al
ways has something up his. sleeve and
is one of the best batters and fastest
b%ase-runners on the teams and is
generally feared by all opposing
teams. He and Knoblauch work to-
gether perfectly, and we %could.not af-
ford to loose him. 4
In left field we had (Raven) Art. Holt
and have yet to seethemanw who had any
thing on him in that position, Abso-
lutely shure of fly balls and having
the greatest throwing arm of any man
in this part of the state, he was one of
the most valuable men or the team
and is feared by all opposing teams.
Many q runner lost his chance to
score by matching his speed against
Arts good right arm and found the
ball waiting for him at the next base.
He is a good batter and base-runner
and it was his FINLEY swat that broke
up the first game at Hillsboro, send
ing Critchfeld up in the air and land
! ing Hope,the winner.
Harry Livermore (the fans call him

Liver is certainly one of the head
lest and best all-around players on
the team.
Winefred Moores, better known as
"Hi"has played in nine games and
made a fine record for a youngster.
Given a little more experience and he
should make a fine little player. In
the games he has played he has always
been a hard worker and he stands at
the plate like a veteran. We expect to
see him a regular next year.

Wednesdays victory for Hope over
the Star Bloomer Girls vas the end OF
the Base Ball season in this city for
1909. The team disbanded after one
of the most successful seasons ever en-
joyed by a Hope team, having demon
strated beyond a doubt that they were
the best in this section of the country.
Comparisons would also indicate that
they have as just a claim as any team
to the State Championship.
They have played a high class article
of ball all the time and the fans of
Hope and the surrounding towns have
had nothing but words of praise for
the boys. They have gone into every
game with a dash and determination
but have at all times remembered that
they were expected to be gentlemen,
s, and no game has been marred by the
rowdy tactics frequently used by anna
teur and semi-professional teams.
Their reputation has travelled thru
out the state and Hope is known from
one boundary to the other as the best
base ball town of its size in the state.
The attendance has been fine and all
the strong travelling teams who have
visited this part of the country have
played before overflow crowds at
Hope.
The business men of Hope deter
mined early in the spring to have one
of the best teams this year that ever
represent d the city, and with this OBJ
ject in view they elected A. E. Warner
as manager. That they picked out
the right man, the result clearly in
dictates. A onetime star of the Nation
al game, and an enthusiast of the first
order, Mr.. Warner lined up one of the
best balanced and headiest teams in
the country and kept them going at
top speed all the time. Whenever a
weak spot showed in the team he never
rested until he had a man to fill the
place. and too much credit cannot be
given him for the grand showing made

Hope Team DiSbands.
Hope Has Strong Claim on Championship

Robert Farris, better known as
Bob" has also caught several games
for the team and while lacking the
experience of the older catcher has
done high class work, and will un-
doubleday be heard from next year. He
has plenty OF nerve, a good eye and a
fine throwing arm and given the OPP
portunity should develope into as
good a catcher as Hope has ever had.
The bulk Of pitching has been done
by Henry Forsyth, Earl Armontrout
and Harry Wheeler.
Forsyth, nicknamed "Hank" has
pitched the most games of the three,
and has also has acted as captin OF
the team. He knows base ball from A
to 2 and his fielding of his position
has been a revelation to the fans.
He has a cool head, fine control,
speed to burn and a drop ball that
can't be beat. On July s he letthe Far
go Athletics down without a hit and
has allowed only one run the last four
games he has pitched. He is a fine
batter and a good base runner and
his coaching has much to do with
making the team what it is. While
not pitching he has acted as general
utility man and has played every
position, except catcher, on the team
some time or other, and his work has
always been OF the very best.
Earl Armontrout did not join the
team until the middle of the season
and the way he has performed has
made us all wish we had found him
sooner. He has great speed, a sharp
fast curve ball and a splitter that is
practically unhitable and mixes them
up SO much that the batter frequently
looks foolish swinging at them. He
has averaged more ~strike-outs than
any other pitcher on the staff and tits
an unusal thing for a team to register
more than three or four hits off oil
him. "Army" has also played in the
outield wherehe is a star and his great
