SLUMP OF BUGS

If Griffin Stays Away the Club
is Likely to Fall Back in
Race.

1t would appear that the long eX-
pected slump in the Danvilie Bugs Is
now in sight and the other clubs In
the league may begin to perk up
and entertain hopes OF getting in the
pennant race again.
The sale of Fanwell to the Cleve-
land Americans SO angered Steve
Griffin, of the Danville club, that he
Is said to have resigned his position
as manager and third baseman with
the club and will go back home.
If this is true, it will be a severe
blow TO the Bugs and one from which
they cannot easily recover Griffin
was the life of the team, and with
out him the club will weaken great
~. The club is made up OF a number
of youngsters and one or two vet
Grams. and the young players were
kept in order and made to play bet
ter than they knew how through the
great generalship of Griffin, who Is
about the best baseball man in the
league.
Fanwen was sold for immediate
delivery. and Mayberry, who was also
sold, will be sent to Cleveland In
September. Each player brought 81
25, and this was a figure that the
Danvillt owners could not refuse.
Danviile is one Of the smaller
towns of the league. and the gate re-
ceipts there are always small Were
IL not for the games in the larger
towns. the Bugs could not resist The
club treasury has been depleted all
season. and already the fans have
been called upon to contribute to
the support of the team. When
big offer came for two OF the pitch
ers the owners could not refuse TO
take the money.
The sale of Mayberry. though.
comes as a great surprise, since II
was thought that he would never be
given I'D. Earlier in the season. when
the panville club offered Richmond
the pick of their pitchers, they re-
served Mayberry. saying that he was
the idol of the fans, and they would
not dare sell him to anybody
Perhaps the owners thought they
were doing Mayberry favor by ad-
vancing him to larger company and
that the fans would overlook 1t on
this account They reckonsd with
out Griffin. however. and now they
are without the services Of the WHY
fox who has placed the team where
IL nov stands.
II may be expected that the Dan
VILE owners will use every effort TO
keep Griffin, and II is quite possible
that the manager will become paci-
fed and return to the foid II ne
does not do SO. the other clubs VIII
all have a good look-in- for the nag
and the Bugs may be expected TO take
a drop before a great while only
the great head and generalship OF
steve Griffin kept his youngsters go
ing, and there Is no other man avail
able who can turn the trick.

A DARING WOMAN
Remarkable Feats of Horse
manship

To have been born in K entucky is
something, but to have been raised
among th finest thoroughbred
horses in the world, as well, is more.
From the time she was old enough
to sit up alone Miss Nola Satter field
has been among horses, petting, rid
ing and growing up with them and
each day adding to her knowledge of
horsemanship until to-day she is the
premier horsewoman of the world, a
queen of the arena performing many
dangerous and marvellous feats on
her Kentucky thorough-breds.
Miss Nola Satterfield received the
highest salary ever paid to a Lady
Equestrian and has been especially
engaged as feature for the Great
Dode Fisk Shows which will exhibit
at Washburn Saturday, July %.
Miss Satterfeld' great triumph of
horsemanshlp is the mastering of a
five horse liberty act which is the
most beautiful as we'll as the most
sensational and dangerous ever at
tempted. Nothing like il was ever
witnessed before by a pleasure loving
public since the days of the old
Roman emperors when such perilous
feats of the arena were the sole sport
and amusement of Kings.

MAY CHANGE SIGNALS
Government Said to be Con-
sidering new Invention in
Fog Signals.

According to recent adviccs
the federal government is said
to be considering a proposition
whereby the present style OF fog
signal be replaced by a new in
vention. The invention is tbs t
of Swede and consists of a
hugh grapophone which emits a
shrieking voice naming the
station, instead of the present
fog signal now in use. Itis said
that the new invention has been
tried with great success and if
placed in use the vessel captains
will be able to tell just where
they are even though the night
be ever so dark and foggy.

CONSIDERABLE interest is man
ifested in the proposed expri-
mental farm which is to be es
tablished in this section of the
state. 1t is possible that some
definite action will be taken with
in a few days, looking to the
location of the farm near here.
The state had decided to abandon
the leased experimental grounds
at Ashland and at Iron River,
this being the last year that crops
will be raised there. A sum has
been set aside which is to be
used IN improving a permanent
farm, There are now two loca-
tionS being considered. One at
Mason and the other at Ashland
Junction. Both locations will
be suitable, as it is desired to
use clay land. Supervisor of
Assessment VIM. Landraint and
Prof. E. J DelWich of the North
ern Wisconsin experimental
farms have been very much in
terested in getting the new farm
under way, and it is possible that
a special meeting OF the county
board will be called soon to con-
slider the matter. All members
of the board are in favor of pur-
chasing tract Of land for the
use of the state. One of the con-
ditions being that the land must
be presented to the state. If
the farm is located at the juno
tion. it is thought that Ashland
County will be willing to appro-
pirate half of the purchase price
of the land. However action
will be taken soon, and it is cer-
tain that the establishment of
the farm in this section will ma
terially aid in solving a number
of the important farming prob.
lens which now present them
selves. If there are any who
own an eighty acre tract of good
clay land near a railway station,
and are willing to give it to the
state for a farm, they should
communicate with either Mr..
Delwiche at Ashland or Mr..
Landraint.
