we want some ran, but will need it
within a week. The old ground
seems to need moisture the most, the
moisture having evaporated more
from the old soil than from the new

those who have fields of corn say
it looks splendid. Potatoes are also

mighty short. so the farmer who has
a few acres of corn, will learn that it

WHEN HICKMAN WAS
PUT OUT ON STRIKES

Pat Flaherty, the Carnegie man, who
has pitched for Louisville, Pittsburg,
Boston and the White Sox, was in a
reminiscent mood during the session of
the big leagues committees recently in
Pittsburg.
DO you remember" he said, the day
] was pitching for the White Sox against
Cleveland when I, got Charley Hickman
so mad? Cleveland had men on second
and third with one out when Hickman
came to bat. We were one run ahead
and a base hit by Hick meant a victory
for Cleveland Charley was batting about
1860 then. and had already made two hits.
one a two-ba gger, off me in that game.
Il used one on the outside of the
plate for the first strike. Hick was
fixing his cap just about that time and
let it go by, as he was scarcely ready.
Then, you remember, Charley also had
the habit of dropping his bat and wiping
his hands in the dust. l was waiting for
him to follow his usual practice and was
not disappointed. As he stopped over, l
shot in straight one and Sheridan had
called another strike before he could
straighten up again. Well. perhaps Hick
was not mad. 1t used to take lot to
get him sore, but he was surely peevish
that time. Letting the big end of his
bat rest on the ground, he turned toward
Sheridan and began to kick. In the
meantime Sully threw the ball back TO
me. The Cleveland players and fans
were next TO what was going to happen.
but Hickman had lost his head complete
ly. and when / sent another right over
the heart of the plate without his making
any attempt to hit it Sheridan called him
out.
Then Hick was so mad that some of
the players had to lead him TO the bench
before he committed murder. And per-
haps he did not get his calls from Ar
mOur. The next man up hit long fly
10 the outtield, which would have scored
the tieing run had there only been one
out. AS it was l won. l to 0, and the
next time / pitched against Cleveland the
Maps made nearly 100 runs"
