IWo nome runs figured IN yesterday
seven runs for Salt Lake. One of them
brought in preceding runner. Huels-
man and Schimpff were the lads who
sent it out for four sacks.
After the second inning the game
was as pretty as baseball battle as
anybody wants TO see. The first two
lnnlngs were pretty enough from Salt
Lake s standpoint OF view, for in the
two first sessions the Skyscrapers put
six men across. Ogden scored in the
third and in the ninth, the latter tally
being forced in when, with the bases
filled, hit batsman made it necessary
for one of the occupants TO vacate.
Naturally it was the man on third who
had 10 get out of the way.
Jensen Lingers Briefly.
Jensen started the pitching for Og.
den. After six hits and six runs had
been garnered off the left handler, he
retired in favor OF Knight when the
second inning was two-thirds over.
Knight held the hard-hitting Skymen
10 four hits during the remainder Of
the game, the only one of which
counted was Schimpff's homer in the
third
Castleton allowed only six hits. and
he kept them scattered except for the
third inning, when three safeties were
made, giving Ogden a tally.
The superiority of Salt Lake over
their Ogden opponents at the bat has
been IN evidence all week The ratio
was well illustrated Yesterday when
three hits for Ogden gave them only
one run. whereas bunches OF three hits
in the first and second gave Salt Lake
three runs in each round

Srhimpff walked and there were twt

Salt Lakes seventh and last score
was made in the third when, with one
down, Schmpff hit the roof of house

Perkins showed his ability as iuggler.
Castleton hit high foul which came
down few inches clear of the grand

beautiful piece of work.

TEXAS TURKEY DRIVE is
GREATES IN THE WORLD

Cuero, Tex. December 27.r-(Special. }
The turkey trot" may be barred from
society the country over, but it will
never come into bad repute in Cuero
and southwest Texas; at least not the
turkey trot" that this section is most
interested in and familiar with.
The southwest Texas region seems TO
be the natural home of the turkey 1t
flourishes in this section as in no other
part of the United States. There is an
abundance of natural food upon which
the birds thrive wonderfully we'll, no
lack of wide ranges for their foraging,
and the climate is so mild that no pro-
lection is necessary in order to raise
them successfully.
notwithstanding the almost ideal
conditions existing in this section, tur-
keys were not raised to any extent
until the two cold storage plants We're
erected at Cuero. Their establishment
resulted in Cuero becoming the turkey
center of the United States, more
dressed turkeys being shipped out o!
here than any other place in thl,
country. From the first of November
to the last of January the plants arc
in operation night and day in order to
handle the thousands of turkeys
brought in by the farmers.
The birds are driven into, town over
the country roads like cattle Enor-
nous flocks have been coming into
Cuero for the past few days. The lar
gest turkey drive ever made in the
