SHERIFF AIDS RUDE MARQUARD

Had it not been for the fact that
Sheriff Hamburger is baseball fan
the long series of victories won fol
the Giants by Richard Marquard
might lave ended at the Polo Gronud
with the Boston team a week age
last Saturday.
An execution against ,Marquard's
property for $145, which was obtain
ed by a theatrical newspaper for ad-
vertising Marquard's theatrical act a
year ago, on Saturday morning, with
instructions that it be served that
afternoon at the Polo Grounds, where
MarquarG would undoubtedly pitch.
Sheriff Hamburger was at Balti-
more and the deputies decided to
call him up and he replied. "It is
your duty to obey the law, but
would suggest that the law would not
be broken or even '-rcnched If you
waited until after the game to serve
the execution"

IN THE REALM OF SPORT
BRIEF REPORTS OF ALL THE LATEST EVENTS OF THE DIAMOND FIELD
RING and TRACK AND ATHLETIC CONTESTS
F. M DAVIS, Editor
LOCAL TEAM Is DEFEATED.

The ball game Sunday resulted In
another defeat for Blackfoot. The
!, Gem State Lumber Co. team put II
over the boys by score Of 8 to-.
The Blackfoot team seems to have
gone stale as this is the second de-
feat of the season in succession, OF
that Pocatello has the Indian sign
on them, but one thing is certain
when they are playing right no team
around this part of the country can
beat them. .,ty---
Kimball and jenkins was there
with the stick work, both Of them
getting double and singles. af
~ Thorsenberg pitched sa4good game
even though he got beat, he has lots
Of steam, and plenty Of curves which
he mixes like veteran.
The crowd was rather small, but
the weather we have been having ia
the cause of non-attendance of the
sports to the national pastime.
One thing is certain that the people
LOT Blackfoot ought to, turn, ont more
literally for few games and help the
team get new suits, thing which
they are sadly in need of, as when a
team has four or five different
kinds Of suits, it certainly does not
look very prosperous. 8
Mr.. Arthur will have charge
of the team from now on and people
can look for change in the line up
of the team, which will be a very
good thing, with the infield changed
around bit and a change or two in
the outfield the team will be strong
er than ever.
Blackfoot will journey to st. An
thony Sunday to play the fast ag-
gregation Of that place, and it's up to
the team to play ball, get the crowds
out and get new suits.
The line up is as follows.

BLACKFOOT Jr's WIN GAME.

The End, nine of Blackfoot played
picked team from Moreland and
Groveland Saturday, and took them
into camp by score of tod. The
boys played e good game throughout
the contest, and had the game won
when Thorsenberg, whaled out a
home run with men on the bases.
Roy, O'Neil and Danilson also
were stars in the game, Danilson by
the way who pitched was steady
and was never in trouble, which is
very good considering that the young
man only has one arm.
The opposing pitcher was hit free
ly throughout the game, and the 9
runs was the result.
The batteries were, Danilson and
O'Niel, for Blackfoot, Grimmett, Hale
for Moreland.

FOR THOSE NEW SUITS

Now that the local ball team has
gone under different management II
deems us to say a few words about
those ball suits. 1t is a shame for a
town the size of Blackfoot to have a
ball team on the field with 5 or s
different kinds of suits. when
places like Riverside, Moreland, in
fact every team around this vicinity.
all have good ball suits. e
Now II the sports OF Blackfoot,
would all 10 out and attend a couple
Of games In full. 1t would be. an easy
matter for the team to get the
much needed suits, or better than
that let the boys give.a dance and
let the proceeds 60 towards new suits
which would be about $50. Now it
is up to everybody to get together
and boost for the new ball suits.

HEAT DAMAGES
 PRODUCE STOCK Slow Trade Continues in the Wholesale Markets--Egg
 Prices Firm

Slow trade caused by the excessive heat Tuesday continued yesterday with Morris avenue merchants. No price changes were recorded and the supply in all commodities was ample for the light demand. ssiaawsa'
 The produce dealers were again the victims of the heat as their stock suf- fered much damage while their trade was practically nil. Eggs and poultry went very quietly. The price on eggs held frm contrary to the predictions of the dealers. The grain merchants also suffered relapse in their brisk trade.
 The fish dealers had a quiet trade. According to prominent fish mer- chant the public should buy fish in- stead of buying meats at the prevail ing high prices. Fish are selling at very low prices this summer. Trading in the dry salt meat market was very sluggish owing to the high prices. The supply of meats is also falling off. hardly being enough to supply the light demand.

New York. August 21.-Metal shares were again features of foremost promi- hence in today's stock market. United States Steel and Amalgamated Copper registered their best prices of the year while Anaconda, which is under amalga- mated control rose to its best in two years An index of copper trade condi- tlons was furnished by the Calumet and Hecla directors, who declared quarterly dividend of SIT compared with half that amount a ycs- ago. The movement in coppers derived added stimulus from foreign advices, which indicated extreme probability of an approaching shortage of supplies.
 Slightly more breadth was shown in the course of the days operations, the early advance taking in various special ties. chiefly the former subsidiaries of the American Tobacco company. Pullman pal ace car, National Biscuit and other is- sues of more miscellaneous character
 Railroad shares were again relegated to a position of relative obscurity. although their undertone was generally firm ex- cept for the Canadians and Le<igh Val ley, which showed a softening tendency in connection with the publication of the annual report, disclosing loss of over $2,00000o in net revenues.
