was better or had better control. You
probably will recall the situation In
the ninth inning. We had the Cubs
to 1 when they came to bat, and 1t
looked as II the game was over. The
strain was telling on every man in
the game and think I never saw as
much excitement on the field and in
the stands. They got men at first and
second with only one out. and the
next batter hit slow bounder down
to Bill Coughlin on third. Bill fum-
bled the ball Just long enough to let
all the runners land in safety. The
next man went out on a fly ball that
scored the runner from third and al
lowed the others to move up, but 1
never felt more confident. The game
ought to have been over right there,
and yet with Joe Tinker coming to
bat l didn't worry. as had fooled Joe
the other three times at bat, and 1t
looked comfortable. Chance thought
Tinker couldn't hit me and he sent
Del Howard to bat in his place. |
didn't know much about Howard, but
and | shot two fast ones over just as
hard as l could. He took them both
and they both were called strikes.
Schmidt, who was catching, walked
half way down to the pitchers slab
and asked me what l was going to
pitch. With only one ball left to
clinch 1t, l suppose he thought 1t best
to make sure that no signal could go
wrong. l told him l was going to try
to break low curve in close around
Howard's knees. figured he would
be laying for fast high one outside.
II I had been a dead shot with
rifle | could not have shot the ball
more accurately. The curve broke per-
fectly, went in and Just across How
ards knees. | thought 1t was over,
but in some way the ball got past
Charlie. broke through his glove, and
OF course the tying run came over,
and We fought 1t out to tie.
l have seen this written up as
wild pitch, or as badly pitched
ball. but | give you my word that l
never placed ball better in my life.
1t was merely an accident. Such a
ball wouldn't get past Schmidt once
In a million years, and no one ever
will know why It got past that time.

CHILDREN
EARN MONEY
CATCHING FLIES

Each month during the fly season
prizes will be given by the Presbyte-
rian Friendly club to the children
who bring in the most dead flies.
/. Those taking part in the con-
test must live east of Twelfth street.
2. Flies may be caught anywhere,
in any way.
3. Two dollars and a half will
be given each month, divided into
four prizes of 81, 75c, soc and 25c.
4. A committee of three ladies
viii receive and count the flies. and
keep the score. These are Mrs. u. b.
Mcclure for the western part of the
district; Mrs. Harry Harris for the
north and east, and Miss Inez Bryan
for the south and east
.. Flies may be taken to any
member of the committee, as may be
most convenient.
6. The first month will begin now
and close July Is.
Z. Flies are to be brought in only
Thursday forenoons.
The following suggestions are ta-
ken from various descriptions of sim
liar contests:
A l2-year-old boy who won first
prize, made his own traps, and had
discarded window screens and built
them into the shape of box with the
under side open. Then he divided the
interior of the trap into two cham
bers by stretching piece of wire
screening across it, parallel with the
top, and in this he cut eight entranc-
es into the upper chamber Next he
cut good-sized hole in the top, over
which he set smaller screen, trap
or cage. The whole contrivance was
then placed on wooden blocks to
raise it several inches from the
ground, and the bait was put on
a board beneath the trap. He found
fish heads to be the most satisfactory
bait. BY placing these under the trap
the flies were drawn to it in swarms
and on shaking a switch among them
they flew up into the body of the
trap, passing through the eight holes
into the upper chamber. When this
part of the trap was full of flies.
black cloth was wrapped around the
whole contrivance, making it all dark
except the little trap on the top. The
flies at once swarmed toward the
light and were caught in the little
trap. When this was full ii was ta-
ken of and placed in box into which
sulphur tunes were sent, Killing. the
flies nstantly.-Ladies' Home Jour
nal
The most efficient trap in a con-
test in Washington. d. c.. in 1911,
consisted of simple cone of wire
gauge tackled to wooden base con-
tanning hole about three inches
in diameter, the whole mounted on
/ supports that raised the trap half an
inch above the surface on which 1t
| was placed. The lower part of the
cone was covered with black cloth.
Ihere was poisoned bait and the
flies, entering, climbed upward to-
ward the light. For bait bread wet
with sweetened water, and also an
ordinary flour and water paste were
found efficient, and one small color
ed boy found dead crab particularly
attractive to flies. The best place to
set a trap was found to be neither
IN the sunshine, nor in the deep
shadow, but in shady place close to
bright sunshine.-World's Work.

WOULD FIND OUT
REAL VALUE OF DRY
FARMING IN STATE
Sentinel Special Service.

Sentinel Special Service.
Denver. June ia. j. Woodruff,
the newly-appointed member of the
state immigration bureau, is going
to prove real live wire, and his
connection with that department may
be expected to result in much good
work for the Colorado farmer and
rancher. Mr.. Woodruff has a store
of good and useful ideas as to
what should and what should not be
done in the matter of building up
the state. One of the first things
he has started out to accomplish is
to have definitely determined through
scientific endeavor whether dry farm
ing in Colorado is miserable fall
ure or not. IF it is" says Mr.. Wood
run, 'the sooner this is known and
the poor fellow on the land advised,
the better it will be for the future
of the state-and for the man who
has attempted to cultivate the dry
lands
Briefly, the plan suggested by Mr.
Woodruff, to attain these ends, is to
advise that part of the state east of
the Rocky mountains into four belts,
and employ one school section in each
belt for scientific agricultural expert
ments. This work to be in charge
of soil experts of known ability to
demonstrate what crops, if any, can
be successfully raised on what is
known as arid or dry land. Their
advice then is for every farmer to
stick to the crop best adapted to the
land, and no other.
Mr.. Woodruff also is urging that
further action be taken to induce the
federal government to establish a
mining laboratory at some central
point for the successful treatment
of sulphide and rebellious ores found
in so many districts of Colorado
Steps have been taken by congress
through the efforts of Congressman
Taylor, who will now be aided by
the state immigration bureau in
bringing to successful issue the
establishment of such a station or
stations.

1900 ENTRIES IN
POULTRY EXHIBIT
Georgia Associations Show, to
Open Next Monday, Will Be
Exceptional in Class.

Entries have closed for the ninth an
nual show of the Georgia Poultry asso-
ciation which will be thrown open at
the Auditorium Armory next Monday
with $500 of Americas best birds on
exhibition.
Last year the Georgia Poultry asso-
citation had big and a successful show.
But it was lacking in birds from other
sections of the country. This year con-
ditions are changed. The pick of the
Southern birds will be there, and in ad-
dition there will be birds from all parts
Of the United States. from the Atlantic
coast states to the Rockies and from
Maine to Florida.
The birds will be cooped this year, as
usual, in the handsome coops owned by
the association, and will be attra ctively
displayed in the Souths greatest expo
stion building Owing to the vast
amount of space needed for displaying
large number OF birds there have been
shows at the Auditorium which were so
wretchedly crowded that there was no
comfort or pleasure to the spectators in
inspecting the birds. This year the
Georgia Poultry association has just
the right number of birds for successful
display in the available space.
After Quality Only.
No attempt has been made this year
to secure vast showing Of birds It
has been demonstrated that attempts
to do this have always resulted in the
exhibiting of a lot of mediocre stuff
birds that would not win ribbons at a
hill county fair. The Georgia Poultry
association has always made 1T a point
to go out after quality exclusively and
to discourage the entering Of stock
which was not worthy Of exhibition in
a metropolitan show. This year they
have carried out this principle and will
have the greatest showing of high class
birds that the South has ever known.
The judges of the show will be +. J.
Marshall. w. C. Pierce and F. H. Shell
labarger. None are better known in
the country and their presence will in
sure fair and competent Judging. This
has not always been the case in South
ern shows, but the Georgia Poultry as
ISOLATION has established an enviable
record for well judged exhibitions and
has probably had less friction over this
troublesome part of the work than any
other large association in the South
The prizes offered this year are more
valuable than ever before and the com
petition for them will be keener than
ever.
Spectators at the coming show will
have an opportunity Of viewing the very
highest class Of birds and a wide range
of varieties In this respect the exhi-
bition will be both educational and en-
PERTAINING.

CHICAGO. Oct. Changed in effigy

AT THE THEATERS
BILL OF HEADLINERS is
BOOKED AT THE GRJ


There is an inviting combination of
week, and that the daily matinee and
eevning audiences will practically test the
holding capacity Of the big theater is
about assured. Attendance last week ran
over the best figures the theater has
yet established, and this week, with a
bill of exceptional quality, it looks as if
all records are to be smashed.
One of the headline features is Lillian
Herlein, the beautiful musical comedy
star, who was the feature of The Rose
of Algeria and whose successes in THE
Never Homes" helped that new show i'm
menSely. In vaudeville, Miss Herlein has
scored a triumph. Another headliner is
w. D-.Abingdon and company, presenting
the thrilling human interest sketch, Hon
or Is Satisfied" This is another of the
big feature acts that have been promised,
and it will be a drawing card.
Will Dillon, the man who has written so
many successful song hits. will be fea-
ture, and his songs and parodes will have
much to do with the drawing power of
the bill. while il may be depended upon
that George Roland and company, in Fix
ing the Furnace will be one of the big
laughing hits of the season. Archie Onri
and company in acrobatic antics. and
Adler and Airline. in song and dance, are
on the bill. Another feature will be the
Musical Gordon Highlanders, a combina-
ton of Scotch people that will add to the
interest the bill possesses.
There are daily matinee performances
at the Grand at bargain prices, and they
are growing more and more popular every
day.

executive for the better part of an hour,
discussing the matter with him.
After the conference with the gov

talk for publication. but he would sub
NIT to the board at the proper time a
complete and sweeping defense of the
charges brought, in all of their essential
details.
In 9 letter to The Georgian he brands
the charges made by Mrs. Clare as
false.
Colonel Hugh Colquitt said today
that he had nothing to do with bring

sisted merely in forwarding to the gov

have. The charges filed with the board
were not considered by the board, and
