PLAN TO ORGANIZE
TWILIGHT LEAGUE
CITY To'8E DIVIDED INTO FOUR
sEcTIoNs-MUcH GOOD MA
TERlAL AVAILABLE.

A number of Enterprise baseball
fans are agitating the question OF
dividing the town into four sections
the division lines being River and
Main streets, and each section is to
have a representative team in
league, the official name of which
is to be the Twilight League.
1t is planned to have the games
called at about 6 O'Clock in the even
ing and continue until too dark to
see. No games have been arranged
as yet but it is the object of the
promoters to have the season open
for this league about the middle of
May, or as soon as the boys can
get in shape.
Below we give a few of the great
many would-like-to-be stars, and as
several more players will undoubted-
ly turn up soon, we are liable to see
some fast ballplaying when the sea
SON does open.
Those figured on playing in the
Brooklyn, or the southeast division
team, are: Pace, French, Clark,
Fleener, A. c. Miller, A. ]. Miller,
Chas. Zurcher, w. w. Zurcher, Joe
Bauer, Cramer, Lockwood and Roe.
The aspirants for honors in the
Alder View. or southwest division,
are: Hug, Savage, Marvin, VIII
Bauer, E. Rodgers, Poulson, Olmsted,
Kerns, Browning and Gaily.
Alkali Flats, or the northwest
division, will have: Bilyeu, Pidcock,
Conoway, F. Sheets, w. Sheets,
Bradley, Boatman, Burnaugh, c.
Riley and Oakes.
The Hay, Diggers, or the northeast
division, will have to pick from:
Crumpacker, Lee, Hall, Ault, Odle,
Craig, DeBoie, Boswell, l. Jackson
and l.. A. Jackson.
AS there seems to be more players
in the first three divisions than In
the last it may be necessary to draft
one or two players from those Sec
tions to make complete team for
the, bunch that the clay Diggers'
will put in the field.
Official umpires, score keepers and
bat and water carriers have not yet
been appointed, but the promoters
of the several teams are already
beginning to talk about what they
will do to the other Fellows.

How Tropical Fruits Are Protected.

How Tropical Fruits Are Protected.
1t may have struck you that most
tropical fruits have thick or hard or
nauseous rinds, which need to be torn
of before the monkeys or birds for
whose use they are intended can get
at them and eat them. Our northern
strawberries, raspberries, currants and
whortleberries, developed with sin
gle eye to the pretty robins and finches
of temperate climes, can be popped
into the mouth whole and eaten as
they stand. They are meant for small
birds to devour and to disperse the
tiny undigested, nutlike seeds in return
for the bribe of the soft pulp that sur
rounds them. But it is quite otherwise
with oranges, shaddocks, bananas,
plantains, mangoes and pineapples.
Those great tropical fruits can only be
eaten properly after stripping off the
hard and often acrid rind that guards
and preserves them. They lay them
selves out for dispersion by monkeys
toucans and other relatively large and
powerful fruit eaters, and the rind is
put there as barrier against small
thieves who would rob the sweet pulp
but be absolutely incapable of carry.

richly stored seeds 1t covers.-Cornhill

THE DAYS OF CATTLE TICKS.
By Fred G. Potter.

The days of cattle ticks have come,
When Matching nits appear,
And canyon wide and mountain side
Proclaim "The Eek is here"
And cattle scratch and horses rub,
While all are looking "bun,"
And men begin to grab the shin
And cry, "The tick has come.'
Zach mother strips her cherished
And with an anxious eye
Doth carefully scan her little man
A wicked tick to apy.
The rancher would protect his herd
And labors long and hard
And says to ticks, "Pll spoil your
tricks
With kerosene and lard"
AS mothers and ranchers refuse to
BY cattle ticks beguiled,
o, labor hard, from EVIL guard
The heart, the home, the child.
Promise, Ore.
