Huiskamps to easily win, although the

Those Commercial league games are

pitchers in amateur circles, or else the
league contains wonderful batters. Yes.
terday at Hamilton the Illinois club
defeated ST. Peters by the skyward
score of 90 to 10. representing forty
two scores made by the combined eff
forts of both clubs. The pitchers were
lambasted until it became joke and
four home runs were driven out to
the delight of the Hamilton rooters.
On TIE home garden Huiskamps won
from Hubinger Bros, IL to 8, this score
also representing a game of the joke
variety. The Elks were to play HUI

Three days later the rear crew ran
into the head of the pond above Reeds

called halt on the work and announc-
ed a holiday.
Now, holidays are unknown on drive.
Barely is time allowed for eating and
sleeping. Nevertheless all that day
the men lay about in complete idle
ness. The pond filed with logs. From
above the current, aided by a fair
wind, was driving down still other
logs-the forerunners of the little drive
astern. At sight of these some of the
men grumbled. "We're losin' what we

II. We've got to get this pond all

The men took their places.
''Sluice through everything but the
n logs" Orde commanded. Work
them off to the left and leave them"
The sluicing, under the impetus Of a
big crew, went rapidly. There's near
million an hour going through there"
speculated Orde, watching the burden
ed waters Of the chute. And in this
work the men distinguished easily the
new white blaze marks on Heinzman's
logs, SO they were able to shunt them
one side into the smoother water, as
Orde had commanded.
! AS the last log shot through Orde
cried, ''Tear out the boomsw
The chute to the dam was approach
ed, as has been earlier explained, by
two rows Of baoms arranged in v, or
funnel, the apex of which emptied into
the sluiceway and the wide, projecting
arms of which embraced the width Of
the stream. The logs. floating down
the pond, were. thus concentrated to-
ward the sluice; also the rivermen,
walking back and forth the length of
the booms, were able easily to keep the
drive moving.
Now, however, Orde unclaimed these
boom logs. The men pushed them
ashore, clamped in their peavies and,
using these implements as handles,
carried the booms back into the woods.
Then everybody tramped back and
forth, round and about, to confuse the
trail. Orde was like mischiev Gus boy
