BREAK EVEN ON DOUBLE BILL.
BY ]. V. Quinlan

Soperton played two games of ball
against the Green Bay Rivals on Sun
day and the Fourth, and looked bad on
Sunday, when they lost 13 to 8, play
ing wretched ball behind French, who,
despite his wildness, should have won,
with the regular lineup behind him.
AS it was, Soperton, by batting rallies
in the eighth and ninth innings, nearly
pulled the game out of the fire. Der
rah and C. Halsted played veil through
out.
On the Fourth the tables were COM
pletely reversed. Soperton fielded per-
fectly behind Stewart whenever he
gave them a chance, which wasn't
often, as he struck out twelve Rivals
and allowed them only one hit in six
innings. Johnson was veritable Long
Larry Mclean behind the bat, and
made the Rivals hug first like flies on
Tanglefoot. Dorm and |. Halsted dis
played class with the willow, the for
mer drawing three passes and lacing
out two bagger, while the Peerless
Leader whaled out three singles.
The Rivals played loosely, there prin-
cipal weakness being desire to heave
the ball every time they got a finger
on it. Soperton took advantage of
every slip, and ran bases well.
Next Sunday the White City team OF
Green Bay win appear on the Local
diamond, and red hot game is expect
ed, as they are about the strongest
team in Green Bay.

volo is Mr.. Bronti's favorite role and
Emma Abbot has accepted this present
engs cement for her debut to the Opera
Stage. The disrobing scene in the

Wabeno, Wis.
Gentlemen:-
For the first time since it's organiza-
tion the Wisconsin State Board of I'M
migration will show comprehensive
exhibit of farm produce at the Wiscon-
sin State Fair. September 1916. One
purpose of this exhibit is to demon
strate the quality and variety of agri-
cultural products which grow on Wis
consin's "cnt-oyer' lands in the central
and northern sections of our state and
will supplement and add value to the
few county exhibits from that territory.
We wish something from your county,
from every northern county, and ask
you to assist by giving this matter a
little publicity. If it be not requesting
too much could you kindly furnish this
department with the names of public
spirited farmers who might cooperate
with us by forwarding products for eX-
hibition? The State Board of Immi-
grafton from the State of Illinois will
also exhibit at this Fair. Our exhibit
will probably be taken to other states
and we wish you to help US show up
Wisconsin.
Yours truly,
B. c. Packer,
Commissioner.

about one half and greatly reduced
