/ Last Sunday afternoon Cecil Ander-
+ son, the young son. of Prof and Mrs.
U. O. Anderson, suffered badly lacer-
ated hand as the result of the explo-
sion of dynamite cap.
Master Cecil, in company with Jesse
Vanderen, was playing in the Ander-
son packing house when they discov-
cred a number of caps which Mr.. An
derson ha dconcealed. Taking one of
these. the boys fastened it on board
and threw rocks at it, and when their
curiosity led them closer to the object
of their attack the usual result follow

number of the members of the
Paonia lodge of Knights of Pythias,
accompanied by several of their
friends and their families, spent a
pleasant Sunday in the Stephens pic
mic grove two miles northeast of town.
1t is supposed that they betook them
selves to this cool retreat for the pur-
pose OF demonstrating to their own
satisfaction that the X. P. lodge could
get up a real ball game and an exciting
specimen of the national sport was
pulled off between the women and the
boys of the party. A delightful lun-
cheon was enjoyed after one O'Clock
and the remainder Of the afternoon
was spent in-oh well, if you can't

NJ. P. Conner, the veteran German
mesa horticulturist, brought to the Pa
oman office the first of this week a
box containing apples of the 1872
crop in assorted varieties. Including
Jonathan, which is supposed to be
generally out of the market long be
fore this time of the ycar, the apples
were in prime condition. They had
been stored in a common cellar near
Mr.. Corners residence. and their pres
ent condition is another testimonial
of the remarkable keeping qualities Of
Paonia apples. When complimented
upon his success in preserving the
king of fruits so pcIfectly, Mr.. Con
ner said: Il have always cortended
that when picked early enough the
! Jonathan would keep well throughout
| the season. / believe the reason that
Jonathans everywhere are hurried of

cause they are put into storage toe
ripe. ! believe firmly in picking then
/ just as quickly as their color will per
init. instead of waiting for them tt
ripen." And Mr. Corners recipe is 9
good one.

Football More Scientific Than Baseball--Heisman

Famous Coach Compares Two Leading Games

shows them very much closer to-
gether; but it is my opinion that
football is the more scientific of
the two, and for the following rea-
sons:
In chess we have slightly none
pieces-siXteen in place of eleven
but these sixteen have only six DIFF
ferent valuations. while in football.
every man of the eleven playing
has different speed, weight. skill
or power valuation. In chess ca.n
piece can move in a certain dircc-
ton and distance only; in football
each piece is entirely unhamperad.
In chess but one piece can be
moved at a time: in football aIl
eleven pieces are moved stimuli
taneOusly and in combination. In
chess there is no such thing as
pepper will power, endurance,
physical condition, dieting. and a
dozen other thirgs that have inn
portant place in the scientific
molding Of a football team.
The above points might be dwelt
upon indefinitely. but l deem them
sufficiently brought out to indicate
why ! consider football more. scien-
tific than chess, and the latter in
Volving more science than base

baseball player if he never attempt
ed the game before he was Il years
of age.
p UT when we refer to the actual
science of a game no doubt
most people mean its head work.
as distinguished from it's hand or
foot or physical skill; we mean.
what thought does 1t take to work
out the combinations of team play.
what ana how many such combi-
nations can with profit be figured
out and played through and what
are the mental difficulties of get
ting those combinations to working
right and with perceptible and
valuable results.
Well, when it comes to consider
ations of this character there is
not the slightest question whatso-
ever that baseball is not even in a
class with football. Consider for a
moment:
In baseball the offensive team can
nave at the very most four men in
action at any one time-one batter
and three base runners. But all
these four men are limited to run
hlnS IN one given direction and one
given distance only. In football the
offensive team has always eleven
men combined in action. and each
of them has the right to run in anv
direction and any distance he
pleases
when it comes to defensive work
in baseball generally only one man
has anything to do on any given
play-the man toward whom the
Dali is coming If fly ball. all he
mas to do is to catch ii and the
other eight men practically watch
MIN as would any other spectator
II ground ball, he and one Aothe1.
man are about all the men who
nsure IN a play, while the other
seven are idle. But in football
there are seldom less than ten men
IN the play on defense; for the mere
fact that the ball starts in given
direction does not mean. as it does
In baseball, that that ball must
continue going in that direction.
On the contrary, it is quite as
likely as not to be brought back
again the other way on the same
play by means Of double passes.
forward passes, split bucks. fakes
ETC. and this means that every one
or the ten men playing up must
get into action and play their pos
ltion on every snap of the ball in a
certain way Also the defensive
player finds he has no stationary
base to work to as in baseball but
an ever changing base according 70
where the ball is going. and a field
much larger for that changing basa
to operate in than in basebau dia-
mand.
These being the given conditions
and facts relating to football #
must be apparent to every reader
without further thought that the
possible and valuable combinations
IN football are Infinitely greater
IMAM they are in baseball. And
what are these combinations? Why
lheN are the science of the game
on of any game.
