CUB UTILITIES LOSE
COMEDY EXHIBITION
Occasionals Play at Ottum-
wa, Iowa = Minors Win
10 to l.

Ottumwa. Iowa, Sept. 10.-Basebal1
fans are thanking Manager Chance of
the Cubs for sending down most of his
utility men to play the Central asso-
citation nine in the exhibition game
yesterday. The latter won, 10 to l. and
the followers of the minor leaguers are
now asserting that the reputation of
the Ottumwa team has been made. A
victory over the Cubs is seldom achiev-
ed by a minor league organization, and
therefore the fans are rejoicing over
the triumph. While some honor is Civ
en- for defeating the bunch bearing the
Cubs name, Ottumwa cannot be given
much credit for beating the tribe that
Chance sent down here.
There were several good ball play
ers in the collection. but The exhibit
tion they put up was way below par
They did not field the way in which
they are capable, nor did they throw
or bat as the the fans expected them
to do when they strobe on the field.
The $500 fans who packed the ball
park expected to see their idols crush
ed to the dirt and overwhelmed, but
when it was the reverse they took the
joke as well and with as much grace
could be looked for.
The Cubs did not play at all like
themselves. The fielding was poor and
the throwing worse. Several errors
were chalked against the visitors and
these netted Ottumwa eight runs that
1t should not have had. The minor
leaguers scored legitimately in the first
inning off Foxen, but after that should
not have had tally had the Cubs
played any kind of ball
While the Central association was
handed the contest, its men strove with
might and main to hold the Cubs back
Boyd and Kent, who were on the hill
did creditable work, although the Cubs
asserted that they had difficulty in find
| ing the ball, as all of the signs sur
rounding the outfeld were painted
white. Only three scattered hits were
made off Boyd and Kent, and between
| them they famed nine men The rur
| that the Cubs made came in the third
when Kane doubled and scored on q
double steal with Holman
| Ottumwa found Foxen for a couple o,
lucky hits in both the first and fourth
rounds. The Cub twirler put himself
| in hole in the opener when he walked
| the first man up, and two hits followed
netting two runs. 4 base on balls got

record yesterday, when he pitched both
ends of a double header, winning both
games without permitting his oppo-
nents hit or run.
The young twirler, who has been do
ing sensational work here during the
entire season, was wild at times, issu-
ing seven bases on balls, but nothing
that resembled a safety was made off
him. He struck out twenty men In the
eighteen innings

and should not have been counted on,
but errors came so often that the minor
leaguers coul dnot help taking advant-
age of them. Weaver permitted one
hit and famed five men in four in
nings.
Errors by Overall and Evers and a
hit by SEVERED gave Ottumwa two runs
in the sixth A base on balls and Hof-
mans error resulted in another in the
eighth, and blunders by Zimmerman.
Weaver, Overall and Needham let the
locals increase their total to ten.
The Cubs were given a great recep-
ton by the EllSs and attended a large
banquet for them at the lodgerooms.
Before the game there was a parade in
which more than 500 members of the
order took part.

RECORD FAMILY
Joshua Lancaster has Sixteen
Living Children of
Thirty-one Born.

Elizabethtown, KY, June o.
Joshua Lancaster, who resides near
Flaherty, in this county. has a merry
twinkle in his eye when he reads the
stories about the big families of the
mountains of Kentucky, the Caudills,
of Morgan county, fifteen strong,
the Letchers, of Letcher, nineteen in
number, and number of others
running up to twenty! Mr.. Ian.
caster believes he has the largest
Kentucky family on record-just
three dozen in all. OF his thirty-or e
children, sixteen are living, and all
in this community. except one mar
ried daughter, who is in Missouri.
All his sons are farmers, and all his
married daughters are farmers
wives. He himself lives on a farm
within mile of his birthplace, and
has never lived over two miles from
the place where he was born and
reared.
Mr.. Lancaster was first mar red at
the age of twenty to Miss Sara
Medley, of Meade county. Six
children were born to this marriage.
Within year after his first wife's
death, he was married to her sister,
Miss Georgia Medley, to whom elev.
en- children we're born. Less than a
year after her death he was united
to Miss Nolan, of Shelby county, and
this union produced six more chill
dren. Within twelvemonth after
his third wife's demise, "Uncle
Josh" won the heart and hand of
Miss Bette Phillips, of his home
community, and eight more children
were added to the happy family, the
youngest of these being ten year s
old. From the birth of the first to

RESERVE PoWER.
Value Of . Surplus Of Erersy N tns
Battle OF Life.

Value Of surplus o. EOe'sy -
Battle Of Life.
In every department Of life phys
ical. mental and moral reserves are
of incalculable value. Many people
work SO hard that they exhaust
their physical energies each day.
They make it a matter OF con-
science to wade through just as
much work as possible every day, no
matter how painfully it is done, not
realizing the tremendous value Oh
keeping oneself vigorous, buoyant.
No life can be vigorous If 1t Is
not kept fresh, responsive, by great
physical and mental reserves. As
alternating animals, like the bear,
in cold climates sustain life through
the winter wholly upon the reserve
fat and nutriment stored up in the
tissues, so patients who have splen-
did physical reserves and resisting
power are carried through severe
sickness and sustained through Sc
we're illnesses by this reserve sur
plus, stored up vital power, while
those who lack it, those who have
dissipated it in abnormal living and
excesses, often lose their lives even
in much less severe illnesses.
Great business men accomplish
marvels with their reserves. Many
of them work but few hours a
day, but they have such tremendous
physical reserves and so much stor-
ed up mental energy that they are
able to accomplish wonders in a
short time because of their ability
to work with great intensity and
powerful concentration.
People who keep their physical
and mental surplus drawn down
very low by working a great many
hours and almost never taking va.
cations, who do not fill their reserve
reservoir by frequent vacations and
by a lot of recreation and play, do
not work with anything like the
freshness and mental vigor of those
who work fewer hours and con-
stantly accumulate great reserve
power
There comes into every life worth
while a time when success will turn
upon the reserve power. 1t rs then
a question of how long your stored
up energy will enable you,to hold
out. There will often arise emer.
gencies when your success will de
pend upon how much fight there j.
in you.-Success Magazine.

The serious potato blight known as
'black scab." "warty disease" and 'po-

potato fields of Europe for thirteen
years, has appeared on the American
