NORTHEASTERN DUCKPIN NOTES

Here's good luck to Sam Cornwell in his
new line and best wishes to Mr.. Cas-
well, his successor.
The A. J. Bennett team is still lead
ing the league. but is closely pushed by
Mick" Miles Hilltops
Acton, of the Hilltops. had a good set
against the Atlantics. getting 1s, 145,
and 100, for a total Of 373.
Hettinger. Of the Crescents, secured
another good set against the Bills, when
he rolled 100, 127. and ia, total 314.
Bill Lakin returned to form last Tues
day and rolled a set Of 324.
Bailey, of the Fatimas. continues to
spill the rubber-banded pins with great
consistency, getting another set Of S56.
He leads the league with the grand aver
age of 11S.
Jack Van Ness is hitting the pins well
and surely gets the wood. He rolled
329 against the Easterns.
BY the way, Easterns, get together
and start to winning some games. You
have good material in Monk Poston,
James, Price, and Miller.
The Rosendales are going good now,
Murphy, Noone. and Rollins are all
hitting well. They took two games
from the Capitol Hills.
Mike Mccormick was missed Thursday
night We hope he hit the law ''exams"
as well as he spills the pins.
Pop" Clemmons may not be a par
ticularly curious old gentleman, but he
could not resist the temptation to test
the blade of the cigar cutter on Sam
CornweIrs table by sticking the end OF
his finger in the opening. He found 1t
was sharp.
Knockey broke four records last week
on the Northeastern alleys All Of them
high-priced phonograph records.

THE OFF SEASON.

The melancholy days have come,
The glummest Of the year;
OF wailing winds and weeping skies.
And bleachers dull and drear.
Upon the diamond bare and bleak,
The snow lies like pail,
And leEions Of disgrmtled giooms
are breeding over all.
The history Of the season past
Has been reviewed to rags;
The batting Averages are in,
That lists Of stolen bags.
The tables telling all about
Percentages and plays
OF pitchers, felders, and the rest,
Have gone their various ways
The gossip and the anecdotes
Have each, and all been told,
The incidents and aftermath
Alike are stale and old;
Heaped in the village barber shop.
The Sporting Page lies dead.
Neglected hg the sorrcxing fan.
Unopened and unread.
For though his Sporting blood b ken,
His fancy seldom yearns
For columns full II bowling scores
And BASKETBALL returns.

And life Is pale and gray. y,

roof of the Duluth elevator. Every
thing seemed to work satisfactorily
and when the boys get some practice
so they will know just how to handle
the apparatus there is no doubt but
they will be able to cope. with any
fire that may break out. They should
practice and they will if the rest of
the citizens show an appr citation of
their efforts and one good way to do
that is to patronize their dance Friday
evening Nov. 3. and assist in raising
funds to purchase coats and hats for
the firemen. If you do not dance
buy ticket anyway. An active fire

LOSS CAUSED BY WEEDS.
Average Dockage on Wheat Nineteen
Ounces Per Bushel. Ia

Bulletin No. 95, written by A. D.
Wilson of the Minnesota Experiment
Station, offers very effective illus
tration of the immensity of the loss
caused by weeds, when it cites a re-
port from the Minnesota grain In
spection department showing that the
average dockage on wheat to be nine.
teen ounces per bushel. This dockage
is very largely due to the presence of
weed seeds. On an annual production
of 200,000,000 bushels, a dockage of
nineteen ounces per bushel means
loss of 212,00O.O0O pounds, or 3,541,-
666 bushels. Had the land been free
from weeds the same land would have
produced 3,541 ,666 bushels more wheat
or it's equivalent in other grains,
worth, in 1911, dollar a bushel.
When it is considered that the same
ratio of loss-through waste of plant
food, of labor, etc-attends the culti-
walton OF most other crops as the re-
suit of the presence of weeds, it may
be readily seen how creditable is the
estimate which regards them as often
doubling the farmers burdens.
