could not sell, because the value OF the
alfalfa hay for feeding had not been
proven.
To prove that alfalfa was one OF the
finest feeds in the world. Mr.. Watson
found a sheep feeder IN a western stats

by a score OF men partially cleared the

cipally at the bat. With Danforth. Mar

Baker the sensation OF The two victories
thus far scored by the Athletics, was the
star in today's batting matinee. In five
turns at bat he thrice drove the ball into
the enclosure between the temporary low
wooden fence and the right field wall
and later sent the ball over the right
field fence.
Bender and Plank warmed up with
Thomas and Lapp at tho receiving end
When the batting practice was nearly
