listers Notable Trimming to Local
Steed Shoe Pitchers.

Some one has said, a good game of
is as interesting as a Barnum-
Bailey show. On the market grounds
today, Ira G. Lingafelt, champion of
Illinois QUOT men, with a record OF
victories as long as Peary's advent
ures at the north pole, met all COM
ers and even overstepped the num-
erous gains he has made from time
to tine over the Malta Quot Caster
club members of Malta, H., suburb
of Chicago, where pitching the steel
hoof attachments is all the rage at
the present time.
No one knew when Champion Ling
afelt stepped around a farm wagon
and asked to join the game with a
side bet of five or ten bones, that he
was the big man sport dopesters have
handled in the lime light of the salve
columns for several months. His
achievements on the market ground
today, were witnessed by large
crowd of onlookers who held theil
individual breaths in awe as Linga,
as the crowd was proud to call hin
after the games, rung the stake TWEEN

off dozen or more straight ring

Great Saving of Time.

Tho manager of one Of the electric
light companies of the western part
of the country has greatly facilitated
the business of making the monthly
readings of meters by having these
instruments placed on the rear
porches of houses instead of in the
cellars. About half of the meters Of
this company are now located in some
convenient and protected place in the
rear of the house, where it is always
accessible without regard to the pres
ence or absence of the inmates of the
house. The result is that the average
time formerly consumed by the in
spector has been cut about in half.

However, no difficulty along this line
is anticipated.
