Of the game, the least said the
better Grantwood has some really
fine players, and they are such nice
fellows it is a pity they did not win.
The Palisade Athletic Club put in a
patched-up team, reinforced by Teddy
Oettel. Fuller and Shropshire, of
Fort Lee; their other players, Steele,
the two Dwiggins boys and others
being absent Much of the playing
was good, some indifferent Paul
Brady pitched four innings and did
well, but Logan essayed to pitch the
end of the fourth inning, and was as
wild as March hare He pushed in
two runners with high pitches, then
gave way to Fuller who flung for the
next two innings. For Grantwood,
Fielder who pitched three innings,
was not at his best He was relieved
by Kehoe in the fourth, and on him
Palisade made seven runs on five
hits, two doubles and three singles,
two bases on balls and an error, a
wild throw and three stolen bases.
Then Mitchell came in and pitched
the rest of the game
The playing of Mcdonald at first,
Shepherd at short, Mitchell at sec
ond, Kehoe at third and Leeger in
left, did the most prominent work for
the visitors.
The umpiring was complained of,
but the bad decisions really did no
harm, and everybody was sure they
were unavoidable

Electricity and Suicide.

An electrician employed in a high
power plant in New York died the
other day from what the doctors de-
clared to be electro1ysis
This man had received no shock,
nor had he been exposed to any un-
usual electrical action, but it was as
serted that his system was kept con-
tinually Saturated" with electricity
and the result was gradual disinte-
grafton
Some three weeks ago we noted
the case of an electrician who COM
mitted suicide, and who left a note
to his wife which in effect stated that
electricity had driven him insance,

BATTING AVERAGES.
How The Palisade Boys Hit The Ball
This Season.

Interest in the Palisade Athletic
Clubs baseball during the present
season has been unusual. There are
seven of the boys who batted above
three hundred, three who went above
four hundred and one who made the
unusual record of $40 for the twelve
games in which the score is kept.
This table shows very good amateur
ball, which no doubt would have been
far better if there had been place
where anything like practice could
have been enjoyed Following is the
record.

Notes of the Game.
That man Charley Leeger is funny
enough to make dog laugh. He is
a great popular favorite in Grant
wood, and deservedly so. He is the
life of everything he touches.
First Baseman Mcdonald has the
baseball instinct about as we'll as any
man that ever swung a bat. He fields
like Chase, too, and is an all
around good player.
Bernard Brady, after playing rather
lndifferently all season, came off with
three runs, stealing three bases.
Logan had two hits in three times
up, and one base on balls, scoring
$50 per cent. average in batting, get
ting three doubles in four times up.
He played first we'll, also.
John Lane, fine in fielding at short.
has not recently caught his stride in
batting: He should practice more.
Naturally, he hits we'll all the time.

Baseball
First Game on Fairgrounds.

Fairgrounds Was prayed WITH IldI very
very excellent and gentlemanly nine,
the Grantwoods, Sept. 30, who met
defeat at the hands of the Pai5ade
Athletic Club. The score was 16 to
-, which would indicate free hitting
game. Considering the unfinished
state of the grounds, it is a wonder
that errors were not more numerous
The left and center fields need at
least two hundred feet more grading
done before the long hit fly will have
sufficient reach
The new Fairgrounds greatly i'm
pressed the visitors. Seymour n
Sears, one Of Grantwood's most prom
inent citizens said:
Il congratulate Palisade on these
grounds. The location is admirable
and | have never seen it surpassed
Y GU have done something here that
will be an everlasting credit to the
town. I had no idea of what your
work here meant"
Mr.. Wallace Mcdonald, also a
leading citizen and the crack first
baseman of the Grantwood team, was
greatly pleased He said:
Really, you have outdone your
selves here You are going to do a
lot of good for other towns around
you. 1t will force Grantwood to have
field. And you may say for me
that we are going to have one We
want a great deal more of inter
village sport. | congratulate Pail
SADIE. It will help bring people here
Mr.. Fred Shepard, an old college
player and GOOD one at that, said
he was overwhelmed at the size and
wonderful location of the grounds
I'VE must have field in Grantwood.
We've simply got to have it. And
we are going right after it, too Watch
us. | want to see some games with
nearby towns You have given us
all the fever. Your people deserve
every praise for this magnificent con
tribution to the young people. 1t is
a worthy and commendable enter
prise"
The boys had all worked very hard
on the morning Of the game putting
the finishing touches on the in6eld,
which finally got into very good
the rough grading, but like all young
people the players made the most of

fielder, made everybody laugh at his
comicalities. He treated the pools of
water in the ungraded portion of the
field as huge joke, and once his
swimming motions, when he went
after a high fly away over his head,
caught the crowd and put everybody
into commissions Of laughter He is a
comedian of the first water Another
time he tried to stand on small high
stump, and created lots of fun. But

The aforementioned bad man,

This is an enterprising and anus

little for the fact that the state law
makers ordered that beavers should
not be trapped.
Tho new game warden caught the
man red handed at his work and
placed him under arrest. He pro-

under arrest, but was persuaded
that he had better come quietly

There is a provision In the gov

they did, were these licenses post
