ord for base ball game here this after
noon. when they played full nine-inning

ming. to ].
This remarkable record was made pos
sible by the two teams going on the
field and coming to bat on the run. In
variably the first ball delivered to each
batter was struck at and usually hit, with
out any effort to place it.
Thirty-five assists in the field tells the
story Nevertheless there were some
sensational stops and throws as well as
some clever catches by the oUtfielders.
Only one base on balls was recorded and
only one strikeout. There were four stolen
bases one sacrifice hit and one wild
pitch, three two-baggers, one three-bag-
ger. one triple and one double play.
1t was. from the standpoint of the fans,
a snappy game, If not "heady.'

Up" Yost Last year YoSt put in prac-
1ice as far as the rules then would per-
NIT much of tho kind of game that the
rules REQUIRE now. His teams have al
ways been noted for their weight, speed
and ability to pile up heavy scores. His
style of play and constant eXhortations
To his men won for him the name of
Hurry Up and it is we'll deserved.
Nagofsn is a Washington boy and was
a star on tho Central High School team
of this city i'm his prep days. Eastern
coaches tried in vain to enlist his serv-
ices. Being comparatively light, he had
no easy time competing with the more
''beefy' men for a place on the Michigan
team. But he made his nerve and speed
count for more than weight and he soon
became a regular member of the Yost
scoring machine.
Perhaps the best work he did was
against the University of Pennsylvania
in the games of 1906 and 1897. In the
former game he was the only Michigan
back who could gain against the Red
and Blue. His showing won for him tho
captaincy for 1907.
Magofin's Fine Record.
In the latter game he was the receiv-
ing end of two beautiful forward pass
plays that carried the ball nearly the
length Of the field for touchdown.
Last year Magoffin assisted fin whipping
the Michigan team into shape for its final
victories over Pennsylvania and Mime

questions to determine will be the

to wait until the snow melts as the

that the work could be completed with

BUCKHORN rs TO HAVE
A NEW RAILROAD

1t is stated on good authority, says
the Battle Mountain Herald, that the
Eureka and Palisade railroad has de-
cided to build a branch line into the
new camp of Buckhorn. The branch
will leave the main line at Blackburn
and will be seventeen miles long. The
steel has already been ordered, and
work will be started within the next
two months.
The business for Buckhorn has in
creased so rapidly within the past two
months that the Eureka and Palisa6e
railroad finds it a business necessity to
build this branch, and has determined
to construct it without any further de-
lay whatever. A mining engineer in
the interest of the railroad recently
visited this field, and it is very prob
able that his report had much to do
with the building of the Buckhorn
branch.
One of the leading mines of the
camp made a shipment this week of a
carload of ore, valued at $104 500.
This is the first shipment made by the
new camp, but it will be followed by
many more of equal and perhaps great
err value.
