THAT BASE BALL GAME

dent in my stiff hat, which was lying
supposed to be at rest. Then we both
silently rooted-you understand that
don't you-yOu know how people can
root silently sometimes.
Sumas came to bat for goose egg.
Lynden came to bat. One out.
think it was Meueuer who sent out
a safe one and got to second on a
wild pitched ball. He was followed by
better one by Peggy. which scored
him. Hemingway brought in
Peggy. Fritz advanced Hemmingway
and got to second, and everybody
started to leave thinking he had made
a home run on an over the fence nit.
Then it was discovered that he was
only entitled to two bases and ne
had to go back to second. 1t was
just the same though, for Stenhauer
hit one that scored Hemmingway and
then 1t was all over
Claud Reed was the umpire. Hes
knows ball from the hog skin to the
rubber center, but he couldn't please
them all any more than someone who
doesn't. Once l thought Hemming-
way was going to lick him, but Claud
met him half way and calmly re-
marked: You may be right, but, ad-
hitting it, l wouldn't change my de-
cision. What are you going TO do
about it?" Hemingway grined and
went back to the bench.
There was big bunch of fans over
from Sumas, and the local boys are
hoping they will have lot of fol-
lowers when they return the game
next Sunday. This is the sixth game
that Lynden has won this year and
she has lost none. Sundays game
was the first one lost by the Sumas
boys.
The line up was as follows:
Lynden-Dean, pitcher; Stenhauer
and Reed catcher; Fritz, first base,
Hemingway, second base; Dickerson
third base; Arneson and Steinhauer
short stop; Meueuer, left field, Osgood
center field; and Haggerson, right
| field
Sumas-Crooks, pitcher; Post, cat
cher; Mckay. first base, Smith, second
base; Fitzchild, third base, Hender-
son, short stop; Lambert, left field,
Frisco, center field; Thomas, right
field, Smith, substitute.

Regardless Of the fact that Stein
hauer. who was catching for us, is
a good advertiser, from the safe side
of the grand stand net | said Things
to him, for which l will have TO
apologize before ! collect my next
months bill. He fumbled the third
kstrike. He held it safely in his INIT
while he forcasted the weather :or
next week and while a Sumas man
stole to third. If l remember rightly
h. let man steal home before he an
Capt. Hemmingway talked it over.
l think it was four scores that Sumas
run in while Steinhauer idled away
his reputation as catcher and our
red-headed foreman fiddled away out
mn short. Anyway Sumas was two
rms ahead when Reed was put be-
hind the bat, Steinhauer showed out
IN short and the red-headed printer
was called in to warm The bench.
That was along about the fifth or
sixth inning. From then on nothing
bannened for Sumas. There come
mighty near nothing happening for
J.ynden. When we went to bat IN
the eighth | got out my rabbits ioot
and rubbed it backwards over ;nree
straws laid cross wise of dust path,
and a red headed girl who sat Just
back of me got up and turned three
times around while she repeated
"Meany. Meany, Miny Mo-
II didn't do any good Our boys
romned across the plate, only few
moments after the umpire had called
three out.
Then | threw the rabbit foot at the

| There were several features to the
Sunday game of base ball with Sumas
but the feature of features, of course
was the score 6 to Z, in favor of Lyn-
den. Even NAPLES of Sumas, agreed
that that was a feature.
1t was good game. Sumas has
rafting good team-the best team
that l have seen play in Lynden this
year-always excepting the Lynden
team, of course. The one weak spot
in the Sumas team was her battery.
1t didn't look weak. One would hesit-
ate long time before he told Pos.-
master Post of Sumas that he was
weak man, and yet Post was the
honorable catcher. Then too it makes
me blush to say that Crooks, the pit
cher was weak. l wouldn't say it, if
he was standing looking over my
shoulder as | write. And, yet the
fact remains that the battery was
weak.
Crooks had scme good curves but
he was Wilds Post. Mas a good eatcher
seven years ago, and Is a fairly good
catcher yet, but since the government
commenced to furnish the eats-well
1t is only natural, isn't it? that
man should grow some.
At that, the Sumas aggregation had
the Lynden Farmers" on the :.un ut
one time. l thought we were beat.

Western National Horse Show.

Denver.-At the very opening of the
Great Western National Live Stock
Show the fact that the horse is king

Of a doubt. 1t is estimated that be-
tween 1000 and 5000 people attended
on the opening day of this great event.
In the large amphitheater the bare
Eess is hidden by decorations, and
the music. the color lights. the Jingle
horses are driven about the ring, all
combine to produce a scene which ap.
peels nightly to the heart of the
horse lover. 1t takes action to stir
the general public. which takes a
Eeen delight in seeing those beautiful
CT cIeatures moving about the ring. with
a fire and dash that shows their breed
ing and metal.
Among the other things the
program included competition for
runabouts; five-gaited saddle horses;
park four-in.hand. six-horse teams
and draft horses; hunters and
jumpers; ladies' pair; pushball
game between local team and team
Of officers from Fort Russell.
The stock show is proving big at
traction. All Of the stalls are attract
lively decorated. and the entries are
of the highest class OF stock.
Carloads of feeder cattle, fat hogs
and sheep will also be judged.

cation has been postponed until

ALDRlCH LAYS NEW SCHEME BE-
FORE MONETARY CON-
MISSION.
IDEA IS A new ONE
PROPOSES ESTABLISHING ARE.
SERVE ASSOCIATION
OF AMERICA"

Washington.-Senato Nelson w.
Aldrich's long-awaited plan for the re-
vision of the national banking legis-
lation," as he calls it, has been made
public.
He does not contemplate the estab-
lishment of central bank.
The plan was submitted to the Ma
tional Monetary Commission at meet
ing called for the purpose.
Far from recommending the institu-
tion of central bank, Mr.. Aldrich ex-
pressly disclaims belief in it as calcu-
lated to meet the needs of the situa-
ton.
What he proposes is the establish
ment Of the Reserve Association of
America, representing what might be
called a federation Of local associa-
tions formed by national banks.
So comprehensive is the scheme that
it is difficult to state briefly the pro-
visions Of the plan; but these seem to
be the essentials:
At bottom, local organizations Of
representatives Of banks, formed by
not less than ten banks each, each
in proportion to its capital.
Directors elected by these to the
board or "branch" associations, one
branch of each of fifteen financial dis.
tricts into which the United States
would be divided. Each branch"
board would include a certain proper
tion Of men not bankers. but repre-
senting industrial, agricultural, com.
mercial and other interests.
The branches" in turn would elect
to the Reserve Association proper d.
rectors, forty-five in all, among whom
also must be a proportion of men rep
resenting interests other than banks.
There would be six ex-officio mem
bers of this board, namely, the Sec
retary of the treasury, the secretary
OF commerce and labor, the comptroi-
Ter of the currency and the governor
and two deputy governors of the as
sociation. The governor and deputy
governors of the association would be
appointed by the president of the
United States and be removable By
him for cause.
The association would be the princi-
pal fiscal agent and depository of the
government, would fix from time to
time the rate Of exchange or discount.
and eventually its notes would replace
those of the national banks. Prime
commercial paper. passing up from
the banks through the local associa-
tions and branches, as well as bonds
of the government, could be used as
n basis for currency issue.
The plan contemplates two new
classes of national banks or depart
ments of banks, to receive savings and
make loans upon real estate and also
to be in effect national trust compa
nies. National banks would be per-
mitted to form branches only in their
own immediate communities and they
also could be organized for business
in foreign countries.
