EvERs MAKES A NEW RECORD
Allows Carroll Only Three Hits-WiIl
p'ay the Brcda Team at West
Side On August 9Th.

The baseball fans breath a whole
lou easier now the boys have broken
their losing streak by taking the Car
roll Fedarals into camp by 12 to 2
scere III a game at the local diamond
Sunday afternoon. The game was
very exciting up to the fourth inning
Carroll having the best of it until
nD to that time, running in two scores
IN the second inning, our boys being
unable to score until the fifth when
they managed to chase one tally
across the plate and jumping into the
lead by getting two more runs in the
sixth and cinchins their lead by get
ting four more tallies in the seventh
forcing Carroll to put in new pitcher
who also seemed unable to stop the
slaughter as the boys Melted five runs
OH him during the remainder of the
game. Although this was not the
regular Carroll first team, the boys
feel pretty good over their victory as
the battery was one that usually play
ed with the first team. AS usual the
errors made prevented the boys from
making it shut out but of course
they can be excused as this is only
their first year Of real baseball and
they are very apt to get excited at
times. The feature Of the game was
the pitching OF our south-paw, v.
Evers, who only allowed Carroll hits
during the whole game. The Carroll
players certainly seemed to be a
bunch OF gentlemen and although they
got u good trimming they did not APP
pear to get the least bit sore over it.
Sunday, August 8, West Side will play
Brcda at the local diamond here and
it will be a fight from start to finish
as Breda will do her best to win to
make up for the beating our boys
gave them on their home grounds
some time ago. Manager Starek says
this will positively be the last time
the boys will play at home unless bet
ter crowds turn out to the games as
financially the team is III very poor
condition. So turn out all of you
people that want a ball team and give
the boys little support for they have
certainly earned it.

Weather Report.

Quito general showers occurred on
Thursday and Friday nights, but the
amount OF rainfall was unevenly dis
tributed. In some localities the rain
fall was nil, While in others the
amounts were light to heavy; the
southern counties received the least.
In some localities in the northern
counties there was sufficient rainfall
to insure the early corn. but for the
state as whole, and especially in
the southern districts, corn, potatoes
and pastures are needing rain badly.
Corn has already suffered consider
able damage in the southern part of
the state, but the average condition
OF the Whole crop is only four points
below the July 1st estimate. or 81
per cent. Much trouble is being yex-
perienced in southern districts in OBJ
tanning water for stock and for thresh-
ing. Small streams and many wells
are dry. Threshing is progressing
rapidly under favorable conditions.
Preliminary estimates show the aver
age yield of winter wheat to be about
twenty three bushels per acre; spring
wheat sixteen: oats, thirty four; bar
ley. twenty seven and rye, nineteen
bushels per acre. If these estimates
are maintained by final returns, the
state will produce about 175,OO0,OOO
bushels of cats; 16,500,000 of wheat;
100000 of barley and 100000 bush
els OF rye
