Security Eager To Play
After Post-Season Pen
nant Is Awarded.
DISPUTE SETTLED
OVER ADAM WALTER
Protest OF the Postoffice Dropped
When Umpire Belts Gives
Testimony.

There is talk today Of arranging a
series Of three games between Manhat-
tan and American Security and Trust
after the regular season is closed, TO be
played at First and w streets north
west, the home Of the Independence
Leaguers.
The decision sustaining the protest
against Adam Walter made to the
Amateur Commission by American Sc
curity and Trust has given the pennant
to American Security without any fur
ther fight Several Of the Bankers are
eager to play further games with Man
haitian.
The series between the two teams
stood one to one last night, but by the
decision, it now Stands two to nothing
In favor OF Manhattan.
Such series as now proposed would
be of highest interest, and a bonanza,
and the fans in the northwest are clam
oring for it.
Officials Must Consent.
Such contests could not, Of course, be
arranged without the concurrence of
the officials Of the Bankers organiza
ton, and it will be necessary for such
consent to be obtained.
The American Security protest was
the only one allowed at last nights
meeting of the board of arbitration, al
though the board reversed the decision
OF the post-season committee in award
ing the championship OF Section B to
Southland. Letters from the manage
ment Of the Car Department and Naval
Medico teams were read, setting forth
the fact that the game between Car
Department and Southland, which was
a tie, had been arranged ro- today, and
the board decided to let them play.
Should a triple tie result today, games
will be played tomorrow TO decide the
champion, and Just as mary games,
II it is six, will be played tomorrow 10
decide it, said Secretary Shurtleff.
Should rain interfere today, the pennant
will be awarded to Southland.
Umpire Settles Dispute.
The protest of the Postotfice team re-
garding interference by a small boy of
a ball that went through the screen
back of the catcher, was dismissed, on
the strength of Umpire Belts testimony
that the last he saw OF the ball before
turning to watch the runners, IL was iu
Catcher Kraft's hands
The intersectional series will start To-
morrow, and the probable contestants
will be American Security and Trust
and the winner of Section A. either Cor
nell or Aloysius. Should Aloysius win
today, II will necessitate a game be-
tween Cornell and Aloy5ius tomorrow
before the regular intersectional game.

DALHART PLANTING
ITS WINTER WHEAT
Steam Flowing Employed
For Breaking Ground
For Seeding

Dalhart, Texas, Aug. 29.-Not since
the influx of settlers into the Pan
handle in 1901 has there been such
widespread activity and interest shown
among farmers In the winter wheat
seeding as is now manifest.
Benefited by many recent general
rains. the territory as a whole is in
good condition. Farmers are securing
much seed, mostly of the turkey red
variety, and are seeding thousands of
acres. There has been no August lin
the period mentioned when conditions
were as favorable as the present one
With the reasonable low price of land
new settlers are coming in, while the
older ones are adding to their hold
ings and putting in as large acreages
of wheat as possible.
September and October are the usual
months employed in this locality for
fall seeding, furnishing an all winter
grazing that is valuable for dairy and
stock interests
There are several steam seeding
companies employed here turning
ground over. Engines, plows, harrows
and seeders. attached by cables, COM

cents to 81 for the highest grade, all
converted into foodstuff and consumed

Carlsbad Peaches, Alfalfa and Cotton
Making the Valley Farmers Rich
Splendid Season Has Been
Enjoyed in Pecos Valley.
1900 Bales Of Cotton

Carlsbad, N. NJ, Aug. 29-The pres
ent season promises to be a banner
year for the fruit and cotton growers
of the lower valley. The shipment of
peaches. consisting largely of the Ell
berta variety, supplemented with sew
eral of the early maturing varieties,
has far exceeded that of previous years
and has brought into the Golfers Of
the local growers between $4,000 and
$4,000, with a goodly portion of the
later peaches yet to be marketed.
The alfalfa hay crop has been very
good, considering the large amount of
RAINFALL and already in the neighbor-
hood of $50 cars have been shipped out
of this section of the valley, besides
supplying the local market, which is
a remarkably good one on account Of
the great number of livestock grown
here. The alfalfa seed crop has greatly
reduced the hay crop, but with several
thrashing machines working overtime
there yet remains hundreds of tons
of seed to be .thrashed.
The pears, plums and grapes are now
just coming in and reports from the
growers indicate that there will be an
abundance of this fruit.
The cotton is doing nicely and in
almost every Instance heavy yield
is expected. 1t is estimated that there
will be about 1900 bales ginned here
this season.
With these conditions existing and
the range and pastures covered with
wealth of grass which insures an
abundance of winter pasture for the
cattle, horses, sheep and goats which
are raised in Eddy county the pros
poets for a successful and prosperous
year are most f1attering, all of which
means prosperity for the merchants as
well as everybody in general.
