BASS BALL
Prospects for Local Team
During Season.

The prospects for good ball team
here during the season of 1911 is good
| All the old players of last year,
team, which went through last season
with record of only four defeats out
of II games played, are here and are
anxious to get to work.
Jones will mold down first base IN
| the same clever manner he did last
year. He is hard hitter aud brought
in many runs with timely bingles.
B. Martin, who caught for the team
last year, perhaps will go into the
pitcher's box as an extra twirler. He
is fine catcher though, and improv-
ing right along. He is also slugger.
Sam Martin will scoop up grounders
at short this year as usual. He has
record of going through the season
without wild throw. He, like the
rest Of the gang, hits them out, and
led the batting list last season. &c
Bennett says he is anxious to play
this season, but that is no sign that he
will. He is good catcher, throws
like a rifle shot, and when he puts his
avoirdupois on ball when at bat, it
goes somewhere, but he seems to lack
the nerve to get in the game, and that
is what it takes. If he could get that
quality he would be big support to
the local aggregation.
DeSabla is having his suit overhaul
ed already preparatory to claiming the
third bag, or perhaps the outfield, as
he did some fine work there last year.
He also is free hitter.
Barrett, who did the twirling last
year, has record of every game won
that he pitched. He is in fine shape,
and wants to try it again this year.
Sam Lasater will take second base,
and also assist in the box. He is a
valuable player, and hits well, and
runs like a scared rabbit.
Grimes will probably play in centre,
his regular position, where he did
good work last year.
Doss will probably take the left gar
den. He is fine fielder, taking them
in in good style.
Hill will be utility player and prob
ably hold down right field.
Other players available are Curtis,
who is a terror at bat, and who could
play in field to advantage, Brewer who
is coming player, though trifie err
ratio now, and Leland. who is new
and untried player in this town. A.
Barrett is also another coming player.
This gives a good team, with the
necessary substitutes. No organiza-
tion has yet been made and these posi-
tions are given only from the work of
the men last season, and are subject to
the ideas of the Captain and Manager
when elected.
A big effort was made to secure the
old depot grounds for the season, but
in this the boys failed and are greatly
disappointed, as it was their intention
to have first class diamond laid off
and graded.

SkAWEED USED AS A FERTILIZEI
BY PROF. L. J. CHAPLIN.

SeaWeed was used as a fertilizer,
IN Italy as early as the fourth GEN.
fury 1t has been used since that
time along the coast of nearly all
European countries. In the British
Isles II has been extensively used
even TO considerable distances inland.
The poor people of the Western coast
OF Ireland depend on seaweed to
supply the greater part of the man
ure Tor raising their potatoes. 1t
has also been quite extensively US
ed along our Atlantic coast for more
than thirty years.
Owing to the fact that seaweeds
contain from seventy five to ninety
per cent water, it is not possible to
transport them profitably for any
great distance. l believe, however,
that much OF our coast land could
be profitably treated with reaweed
where the hauling is the only cost.
Much of the Western Washington
soils are deficient in lime and potash.
A reference to the chemical COM
position of two of our common sea-
weeds will show that they would
supply in part at least this deficiency
Laminaria saccharine, commonly
known as ribbon weed, or kelp has
the following composition. according
