POINTERS TO RANDOM

need pinch hitter more than a Mathew son.
 An outf1eld, the batting average of which is less than .24o is too light for the Southern league. -~ Catcher Hugh MeMurray has joined the Crackers and Knotts has drawn the can
 We dreamed of Rowan and Page-then woke up.
 We have reached the conclusion that George Yantz is one of the really val uable ball players in the Southern league.
 Al Newton, a former Baron, is playing shortstop for Macon.
 Atlanta is like Birmingham in some re- spects-it has released more good men than it has on it's club.
 Look at Bayless and Moran and then peep the Cracker gardeners.
 In covering ground, Bayless is in a. class by himself in this league.
 McGilvray is in a bad hitting slump. He should use a fiddle at the plate.
 At any rate, Chattanooga is in sixth place.
 Fritz again defeated Covaleskie. The Turtles got the fewer hits and made the more errors, but they got the game
 It is our opinion that Manager Moles- worth deserves much credit for having held first division position in the face Of accidents, poor pitching and the bat ting slump of Mcbride and that of his own.
 In the beginning we talked of winning three straights from Mobile. Now we will be glad if we get one.
 The umpire again got his ant-Chatta- nooga temperament to working yesterday. Foxen, to our minds, will give New Orleans better service than Paige will give the Crackers.
 The Philadelphia Athletics dropped the fourth straight game to Detroit yester- day. The absence of Eddie Collins is making itself felt.
 Think of Detroit without Cobb. Phila- delphia without Collins is ill just as bad a fix.
 The Phillies got possession of the top most rung of the National league lad der yesterday afternoon.
 The Philadelphia newspapers are de- manding the head of Sherwood Magee.
 In attacking Fnneran, Magee commit ted no graver offense, if as grave as Krem when he struck Bresnahan.
 Umpire Rudderham, who knows Fin neran to be a big, double-jointed fellow, expressed surprise that Magee got away with the laurels Let's try the effect of a victory today. We will all feel better. H. w. R.

MILLER DEFEATS
 THE LOOKOUTS

Memphis. July 14.-Miller, a fresh re-
 cruit on the Memphis team, hit the ball hard in the last half of the tenth to- day, scored Basrwald and brought in the one run needed to win for the home team in the game with Chattanooga. Chattanooga hit Fritz freely, but the results lacked a great deal of measur- ing up to the standard of being safe.

Tn the ninth inning Mobile sent three
 runners over the plate and to all prac- ticaI purposes put an end to a pitch ers battle between Demaree and Wag- ner The final score was to 1. To a better fighting spirit which the Gulls displayed their victory Is due. With all dark before them, they set tied to the task of winning In the final Ian and did win. And with darkness lowering about them again in the Bar ons' half of the ninth they again set tied down to business and the light returned.
 Had the fates arranged a programme of intense excitement they could not have added one iota of the thrill stuff to the final round of the game In their half the Gulls won the game. In their half the Barons, rallying well. filled the bases with only one down. To win the game appeared simple with Jimmie Johnston and Artie Phelan yet to face Demaree. But the hearts of the Barons failed them and they struck out.
 And thus it happened that Demaree, whose handicap has been, according to the impression, extreme tenderness or heart. showed a better fighting spirit than a couple of young braves who have the world before them.

How the Barons Lost

Beginning the Barons' rally in their half of the ninth, Elliott was passed. Ellam drove to right. and Miller made a very pretty catch. Yantz was then rushed in to hit for Wagner, and the German de- livered punch between third and short Marcan followed with a wallop to center and the bases were filed A hit would have tied the score A single and fly would have won the game.
 Johnston fanped.
 Phelan famed
 Each took his third strike on ball higher than the shoulder and on the in side.
 It was clever work on the part of De- maree.
 It was in the sixth that the Barons scored Myers booted Molesworth's s grounder and the runner went to second on an out Elliott hit to Myers and that young man threw the ball over Swacinas head. permitting Molesworth to score. With Elliott on second Ellam famed. Wagner was easy.

How the Gulls Won

1OW tue uuliS Voh
 The game was a fine one from every standpoint. Demaree and Wagner were in fine form and it was distressing that either should lose. Up to the ninth the Baron finger had a slight edge on the Gull on account of the wildness"of the latter, but in the ninth Demaree forged to the front and walked away with the honors.
 The one run of the Barons is directly attributable to errors of Shortstop Myers It was his error which gave Molesworth life and it was his error which permitted him to race home !, with the run which all but won. But for foolish base running on the part of the Barons, and for marvellous exhibition of fielding on the part of Bayless it is probable that the three runs of the Gulls in the ninth inning would not have proved sufficient. And remarkable as it may seem, very pool Judgment of Bayless in the ninth in ning-followed by very poor work oi Catcher Elliott-snatched the luscious fruit of victory from the watering lips of the Barons and thrust it in the crunching jaws of the Gulls.
 This was in the ninth inning. Bayess opened with screaming single to right and went to second on an out of Miller Purposely Wagner walked Swacina Myers then hit slow one by Phelan which by fine effort he might have han- dIed. It rolled to Mcbride. and there semed no possible chance for Bayless to score. But he attempted the apparent ly impossible and got away. Mcbride made a beautiful peg to the plate, but the ball squirmed away. No one backed the < catcher up and Swacina followed Bayless over the platter.
 Rohe hit to Marcan and Myers, between third and home outgeneralled the Baron. He bluffed to third, and Marcan tossed the ball slowly to McGllvray. In trice Myers was flashing home, and had Me- Gilvrays throw beaten, even had 1t been perfect.

The May term Of the district court
adjourned Saturday last after q CON-
paratively short session, Judge Stesl6
going from Grangeville to Ne1perce
where he will convene the first session
Of the Lewis county court.
A decision in the action brought
by Fred Karsten against the Idaho
Consolidated Copper Mining Company
an action for the foreclosing Of lien
for labor, was rendered Friday, the
court giving the plaintiff $7,7O0.
The amount asked for was in the
neighborhood Of $4,000 but in Civ
ing the decision the court indicated
that there was some question as to the
sum Of $l0,083, which it was alleged
in thecomplaint was principally for
supplies, being lienable in this kind Of
an action but that it might become q
personal judgement against the cor
poration in some future action. Mr..
Karsten was represented by Attorneys
Vineyard and Hattabaugh and E. M.
Griffith appeared for the corporation.
The one criminal case, State Of
Idaho VS. Arthur Crooks, charged with
grand larceny, was on trial Friday
and Saturday. Atty. Casady made =
hard fight for his client but Prosecutor
Griffith, in his usual vigorous manner,
left no stone unturned in his effort to
land the young culpirt. The jury
was out but short time when ver-
diet Of guilty was returned. The
Judge gave him an indeterminate SEN
tence Of from one to fourteen years.

Say Grangeville Has Best Hotel.

II never saw the Camas Prairie and

Wren, railroad contractor of Glendive,
Mont, who returned Monday from a

where he owns a large farm and stock
ranch. 1.-The crops are in splenid con-
dition since the recent rains. None of
the fall wheat or even fall barley has
been winter killed, and soil conditions
are SO satisfactory that the farmers
are looking forward to a record-break-
ing crop.

How to Kill the Squirrels.

Walter Hatch, who is the tenant
on the ranch Of DR.. H. j. Smith and
F. Martin, is wearing smile these
days which would lead one to believe
that wheat is selling at dollar a
bushel. However, such is not the
case, the smile was brought about by
the victory Mr.. Hatch has won over
the squirrels on his ranch. Last Sum-
day after the smoke of the battle had
cleared away, Hatch picked up close
to 125 lifeless wheat cutters and says
he is quite snre there were many
others he was unable to locate. Mr..
Hatch has found quite successful the
following preparation in the exter-
mination Of the squirrels and recon-
mends it to his neighbors:
One ounce of strychnine, one cup
Of sugar, half cup of salt, one gallon
Of -four, mix ingredients dry, thorough
ly. Then add enough water to make
a thick paste. Make depressions in
the ground in front Of the squirrel s
hole with the heel or some blunt in
strument and place teaspoonful Of
the mixture in the depression. Do
this quite early in the morning be
fore the squirrels are out. 1t is said
this receipt works like magic and
slays the squirrels by the dozens.

Sheriff Overman Takes in Three
Charged With Crime.
TWO FOR HORSE STEALING
One of the Parties Wanted by
Colorado Authorities.

Sheriff Overman has been kept busy
for the past week rounding up offen-
ders and as result of his efforts two
are now held on the charge of horse
stealing and third is charged with
being an accessory in the theft Of
some firearms at Harpster last week.
Arthur Waymire, a young man who
is barely past his majority, was
brought up from Sites Saturday by
the sheriff and lodged in the county
jail upon the charge Of horse stealing.
It is alleged that along about the
middle of April Waymire took horse
belonging to man from Montana and
being kept by NJ. H. Williams in a
pasture near Harpster, and disposed
Of the same to party by the name Of
Skaggs.
His hearing has been set for two
tomorrow afternoon in the court of
Judge DeHaven.
Last night the sheriff arrived with
two more, Bert Baldwin, who was
picked up at Sites at the instance Of
Colorado officers who hold a warrant
for his arrest upon the charge for
stealing horses in Colorado and Steve
Burris, who it is alleged was an ac-
complice Of Anderson, the young
fellow who appropriated some fire
arms at Harpster last week. Bald
win says he is not guilty and is per-
fectly willing to return to Colorado
with requisition papers. The sheriff
has wired from Colorado that he is on
his way to Grangeville.
Burris also denies being guilty and
was released this morning upon his
own recognizance to appear for the
prelimary hearing which is set for
June 20.
