WHEAT ACREAGE
LOSS IS LARGE
MUCH SMALLER YIELD THAN
LAST YEAR PREDICTED BY
THE GOVERNMENT FROM
WINTER KILL.

OF the 33.4S3.000 acres sown to
winter wheat last fall, 4.439,000
acres. or 1873 per cent were ruined
by winter killing, or other causes,
leaving 29.044.000 acres growing on
May 1. according to the government
report. Only in two previous years
has so large an area been abandoned,
4,932,000 acres in 1904, and 1850
900 acres in 1902. The average
abandonment for the past ten years
was 2,65O,000 acres. or S.5 per cent
OF the r sown.
In Kansas the loss was 35 per cent
or 2,16S,0O0 acres; in Nebraska 28.5
per cent, or 100000 acres; in Mis-
souri, 17.5 per cent, or 38S, 900 acres,
making a total of 3.255,0o0 acres
abandoned in these three states. In
other important wheat states the
losses were no more than normal,
ranging from 1 to z per cent. The
abandoned area amounted to 161,-

RAPID CITY WINS
DECIDING GAME
UNIVERSITY LOST THE BALL
GAME TO RAPID CITY WHICH
WOULD HAVE MADE
THEM LEADERS.

Wednesday the Dakota Wesleyan
University team met their Waterloo
in Rapid City, and the winning or los
ing Of that game meant much to the
local team. The local team has won
q sufficient number of games among
the colleges to give them the cham
pionship Of the state-providing they
were able to take this game from
Rapid City. Something went against
them out in the Hills country as to
make them lose their charm of win
ning. and they lost to Rapid City by
q score Of 6 to 0. That put an end
to their championship hopes, and the
lads are correspondingly sad. They
had trimmed Rapid City once before
this aso and they felt they were
able to do it again. They were up
against it. however, and they will
come home in second pdace.

The American League attendance fell

League outdrew the American largely
because the parent organization had
by far the better race for the pennant
which was sustained until the Cubs
clinched the flag at Cincinnati in Oc-
tober The total attendance for both
leagues was 9,105,S04. an increase of
1,137,196.

REMNANTS DEPEND
ON SIGNAL CODES
Clever Wireless Systems Aid
Ball Teams to Capture
the Flag
TEAM ON OFFENSIVE
OF COURSE HAS WIRES

In these days OF specialist players
we have crack pinch hitters in con-
trast with all-around hard sluggers,
lightning base stealers playing against
those who rely on sacrifice bunts and
a whole throng of players who are
experts in their specific departments.
No player, however, relies entirely
on his own knowledge and skill, but
keeps his attention on teh system of
signals used in his club.
Every now and then some wise lad,
who watches his baseball closely. sits
down and grinds out tale endeavor-
ing to show just how important sig
nails are in base ball. And promptly
some person on teh side lines arises,
emits a derisive boot and proceeds to
devote columns of space to knocking
the signal story.
There is no doubt the signals play
a nightly important part in baseball,
not only in the two big leagues, but
in every league team in the country.
In fact, 1t would be pretty hard to
find a first class amateur team which
isn't there with the signals.
And by signals mean the signals
for the shifting of players for certain
batters, signals warning the infelders
lust when the pitcher is about to offer
the batter, signals stipulating which
man shall take the throw at second.
and these signals are flashed from the
infielders to the outfelders, so that
every one OF the nine men in the field
knows Just exacting what the defen-
sive plan on the batter and runner
is.
OF course, the team on the offensive
| is there with the signals also. Every
time a man goes TO the plate he has
orders instructing him what he is to
try to do at the bat. The signal Is
tipped TO the runner, and the entire
success of the teams attack depends
on the proper working out of the play
which the manager or captain has
] devised.
! Changed SIX Signals.
The Chicago Cubs have been known
TO change signals as often as six
times in one game. Jennings is fond
of Going the same thing, and signal
practice is about as important as bat
ting and fielding practice for the up
to-date team which is making hght
for honors in its league.

SWARTHMORE, Oct. 24.-Swarth-
more showed a reversal of form on
Saturday and defeated Delaware Col
lege by a score Of q to o.. While the
Delaware men put up a stubborn fight
they did not threaten the Garnet goal
at any stage of the game.
Captain Eberle won the toss and
kicked toward the west goal with the
wind. Eberle and Geig were the
stars OF the Quaker eleven. Eberle
was responsible for two touchdowns.
His first score was made on the first
play after the kick-off. The fleet little
halfback .nlunged through the Della
ware line and, after shaking off six
tacklers. raced half the length of the
field for a touchdown. His second
spectacular run was for sixty yards
through broke~ feld.
The Delaware aggregation declared
that they have the best team in their
history and the low playing of the
Peaches" line made gains inside
tackle practically impossible. Not un-
til the end Of the third quarter, when
the Quakers felt that the game was
safe did they begin to open up with
forward passes. Time and\ again

Garnet long gains for the ends, and
tackles were right under them. Cap
tain Taylor punted we'll for the Blue

port, William B. Biggs. of Middletown,
bought horse from farmer who
was using the animal TO pull a plow,
paying s400 for him. It is claimed
that this s4OO horse is now the fast

taken hold of players who were

Ira Thomas and Cy Morgan. These

That he is one of the greatest man
