MORRISTOWN, 0
Local Team Succunbs Superb
Fielding and Pitching.

The Brightons jorneyed out from
Brooklyn Saturday afternoon accom-
panied by one pail of whitewash and
paid visit to John Todd's FASTENERS.
A gent named Taylor wasthe artist
who handled the kalsomine though he
had able assistance from several oLne
members of the party. When the
visitors departed near six o'clock they
left the whitewash but took nome one
run. the only one accumulated during
game full of thrills.
The contest, though a defeat TOT
Morristown, was good from a base
ball standpoint for it included hittng,
fielding stunts and some bonenead
plays, all adding Zest and Keeping Inc
game in doubt until the end.
George Lacey toed the mark for
Morristown but George caught cold IN
the jaunt to Savannah recently and
could not get his in-curve to Dreak.
This coupled with soreness in the sal
arywing led him to leave the mound
in the seventh, the pitching burden
being assumed by Welsh while Ahles
replaced Collins behind the bat.
The seventh was the sad session.
Vanderbilt singled and Baldwin did
likewise but was nabbed at second,
Hillock to West. Maloney made a
mess Of Burns fly to right, Wander
bilt scoring Schwartz famed and
Taylors rap was fielded by Doyle
who touched Burns in run-up.
There was nothing doing for the
visitors in the two sessions Welsh
pitched.
The locals threatened the plate in
the third when singles by Lacey and
Doyle and pass to Maloney popu-
lated the pillows with one out, but
Lacey took too big lead off third
and was cut down by throw from
Schwartz and West famed.
Charles Ahles brought out friend
from the Bronx to play left field
named Leslie. The new lad had no
chance in the field and famed twice
while at bat.

Bankers Anxious to Aid Farmers.

That Wisconsin bankers are anxious
to cooperate with the farmers OF the
state in an effort to develop agricul-
tural resources and raise the standard
of farming will be shown at the com,
ing convention OF the State Bankers
association to be held at Milwaukee
July "a and 20, when, according TO
present plans scholarships will be Of
fered in the college of agriculture Of
the University Of Wisconsin as prizes
in the seed and grain contests which
the association win conduct next year.
For the past two years the associa-
ton has been actively interested in
the crop Improvement work and has
conducted contests in the territories
Of the seven groups into which the or
ganlzation is divided. offering cash
prizes. These first contests were In a
measure experimental, but have
proved so satisfactory that members
of the association favor plan for the
enlargement of the work,
The plan is TO offer the short
courses in the agricultural school to
winners in the contests, the associa-
ton also to pay railroad expenses and
board while the student is at the uni
versity.
The interest Of bankers In the
growth of the agricultural sections OF
the state was also discussed at the
meeting of group 3, Wisconsin State
Bankers association, held at Shawa,
no, Wis. An interesting address on
the subject was given by w. IL.
Mylrea, secretary of the Wisconsin
Advancement association. Mr. Myl-
rea illustrated his point by the ex-
perience of one Of the banks in central
Wisconsin AT the opening of the
fall business In 1911 the bank had, in
round numbers, deposits amounting to
$S50,000. In the region OF this bank
there was a large potato industry.
When the examination OF this bank
was made by the state authorities in
April Of this year, 1t was found that
this bank increased its deposits to
over s1.500000. This great increase
Of deposits was not due so much to
the fact that potatoes were grown in
that locality as 1t was in the fact that
the farmers through that nelghbor-
hood had made a scientific study of
the soil ard the method Of increasing
it's fertility in order to produce this
crop OF potatoes They had also gone
further and co-operated In planting
the same variety in order to obtain
the highest market price and attract
buyers from other sections of the
country to buy potatoes from this par
ticular locality In account OF their ex-
cellence.
