Folks like it and keep Clapp ex-

the Arizona Naccayampa club of
Los Angeles, the Montezuma club
of Goldfeld, and the Sierra Madre

generally from the mining districts
of the southwest and Old Mexico.
The quarters of the chambers were
continually crowded during the aft
ernoon between 3 and G o'clock, the
hours during which the reception
was held.
The Chamber of Mines was taste
fully decorated with palms, ferns
and flags, and a profusion of the
flowers for which southern Califor-
mia is famous. A portion of the
mineral exhibit was left on exhibit
ton in the chambers quarters, in
order that visitors might compare
the ores from other districts with
those from their own home camps.

of the chamber, Mr.. Calvert Wilson,
who explained the objects and pur-
poses of the chamber Of Mines; stat
ed briefly what ii had done in the

ELKS VICTORIOUS IN AN
EXCITING BALL GAME

For nine exciting innings the out
come of the Eagles-Elks' ball game
was in doubt Sunday afternoon.
Both teams were fighting hard for
victory, and at the end when the
Elks were declared the winners by
a cor of 2 to /, they knew that
they had been in a ball game. The
great street parade, as advertised,
came off promptly at l o'clock, and
the costumes worn by the players
defies description. Captain Wise III
his ballet dress and red stockings
was the center of attraction, while
Bert Gibbons disguised as a real
ball player had the rest backed off
the boards.
Ed Malley was on hand with his
Happy Holligan suit, and looked as
If he had just been pinched for
~vagrancy. To describe all who were
in costume would consume several
columns, but let it be said that the
turn out would be hard to equal in
any city.
The contest started off with Harry
Epstine in the box and inside of five
minutes he had retired the opposing
team without a score. Bill Johnson
for the Eagles dished out a choice
assortment Of curves that resulted
IN three goose eggs being chalked
up for the Elks. That was the way
the score ran throughout the game
until the sixth when Dave Holland,
with a beautiful exhibition of base
running. drew a home run and
scored.
Cal Shaw, for the Elks, made
things even in the following inning,
and made a home run by batting the
ball over the center field fence. The
deciding tally was scored in the last
of the ninth by Billy Douglass, who
walked to first, stole second, was
sacrificed to third and in the excite
ment that followed, strolled home.
The ovation given Bill was a ire
mendous one and he was carried
through the crowd on the shoulders
of his admirers.
But two errors were made, one on
each side. For the Elks Newton G.
Crumley was responsible for one
while Pete Petroni made the other.
The hits were evenly divided, three
to the side.
At the conclusion of the game the
Eagles Immediately challenged the
Elks to another game for 800 a
side. 1t is thought that this bet
will be covered and the game ar
ranged to come off in about three
weeks.
For the benefit of those who are
in doubt, the management of the
affair desires to state that the funds
will not be given to the volunteer
fire department, but will be used in
alternating the Indebtedness of the
ball grounds.

A GREAT CROP

ON A KING GEORGE FARM

Twenty thousand dollars from one

farm is the achievement OF j. r, JACK,
of King George county. Mr. Jack real
allied this neat fortune this year from
400 acres of farm he purchased two
years ago. and Commissioner of Agri-

ond as an indication of what Virginia
will do for her people if she IS coaxed IN
the right manner.
Cowpeas were first sown on the land,
and the crop was turned under Inc
next Weld was of crimson clover, and
then the land was thoroughly lined.
The result the third year was cash
income of $50 per acre.
What Mr.. Jack has done, says Mr.
Koiner, anybody else can DO. Mr.
Jack is not a Nrginian. but on eX-
animation Of the farms OF this state
ne discovered that the very low pre-
vailing price of land would make Tor
profitable improvements. The purchase

200 acre farm in Stafford county as a
result of the efforts Of the Department
of Agriculture. As matter OF fact
