AUTOMOBILES GET IN BAD

Fridays sc re rs 10 J in favor of Clover

Saturdays score 10 to I in favor OF
fIardInsburg.
Not much of game took place Sat-
urday-or Friday either, but more fun
than has ever happened in this old
town for ages. Brown, Knotty, and
Speedy, of the Athletics, were perfect
clowns and cut one monkey shine after
another for the crowd during the whole
game.
One of the cars from Hardinsburg
got stuck in the mud on the edge of
the diamond during the game and a
passenger cried for help. Such a gang
that leaped through the diamond could
not have been called forth quicker if
the world had been set afire. They
gave the Car one big shove and then
were nearly paralyzed with laughter.
The teams then went into action again.
Games were as follows says the Ovens
boro Messenger:
The Owensboro Athletics made trip
to Breckenridge county this week
playing two games at Hardinsburg on
Wednesday and Thursday, at Clover
port Friday and Saturday. Of the
four games the Owensboro Joys broke
even. The Wednesday game at Hard
insburg was hard fought battle, the
atheletics going against Cornell, the
southpaw, who defeated the Greys
here two weeks ago. The game was
won by Hardinsburg by score of a to

the Athletics and pitched a Steady
game, but Cornell allowed but six hits.
On Thursday Cornell again pitched
against the Athletics and they defent-
ed him by score of to 1, securing
eight hits off him. Johnson pitched
this game for the Athletics and had
the home club at his mercy at all
stages
The first game at Cloverport was
the only bad game the Atheletics put
up on the trip. The hard-hitting

The MusseI Industry.

Representatives of the United States
Bureau of Fisheries have been making
"a study of the mussel bees in the lower
Cumberland River The bureau has
become impressed with the idea that
something must be done to restore the
rapidly vanishing shoals and it is look
ing for new fields and also for available
places where the rivers may be re stock-
ed with young mussels.
The mussel industry has assumed
large proportions on American water
ways in recent years. In this part of
the country the mussel first came into
general notice through the operations
of pearl fishermen in the smaller rivers
Occasionally the mussel has valuable

cause of the fact that the shells are
largely used in the manufacture OF
buttons. In the upper Mississippi
River the mussel beds, it is said, are
rapidly being exhausted to supply the
demands of the button factories. Mus
sci fishing has become an industry of
some Importance along the Ohio River.
The shells bring a sufficient price TO
justify their shipment to Eastern cities
in carload lots. The iuussels that are
found along the Northern coasts are
edible, but the Ohio River variety is
not suitable for human consumption, as
the riesh when cooked is tough and
leathery. 1t is in some demand along
the river. however, as food for hogs,
and is said to be very desirable for that
purpose. To separate the flesh easily
from the shell it is necessary to cook the
mussel. The mussel fisherman build
crude furnaces on the river banks in the
vicinity of the beds where the work of
cooking and separating the meat from
the shell is carried on and where the
shells are sorted out. The small shells
bring better price than the large ones.
The large button factories of the East
have representatives in the field who
make periodical visits to the fisheries
for the purpose of buying the output of
shells. In preparing the shells the FISH
ermen occasionally find a pearl which
adds to the remuneration of their oc-
cupation.
There are not many button factories
along the Ohio River and the mussel
beds are not likely to be exhausted I'M
