Parkersburg Eclipse: A fifty acre or

and 1000 apple trees, located near the
city limits of Sioux City, was sold the
other day for $500 per acre, or 100000

CoIIamore who succeeded E!anding in
Yesterdays game performed brilliantly
after he got out of that hole in the first
inning, and it is perhaps fortunate for
start the game. While he was wild at the
beginning. probably because he was not
given chance to warm up properly, he
steadied down nicely thereafter and was
as effective as any pitcher who has been
seen i'll action mere this season. Cola
more was secured from the Toledo Amer
lean Association club this spring He
had been with that club for two years.
Walter Johnson pitched a well caIcu-
lated game Of ball and he seemed to have
his Usual stuff. though the fact that only
three Of the Maps succumbed to him By
the strike-out route led many To believe
that Walter was not as fast as usual
But he held the Maps in check from start
to finish and was scored on but once He
did not give a base on balls and worked
without a strain and most of the time as
II he was not pitching at full force. That
Walter has changed his style OF pitching
is undoubtedly true. He no longer relies
solely on his speed, and this accounts
for the fact that lie is not striking out as
many batters as formerly
Joe Jackson did not get a hit himself
though he drove out several long flies
but he robbed ..Zeb" Milan of a beauty
N the third inning, when he made a
splendid forward running catch and
caught Milan's liner an inch from the
ground. The ball had all the earmarks
of clean single. but Jackson tackled it
and got the decision. though many We're
of the opinion that he had picked it up
on a short bound.
Umpire Dineen undoubtedly was in
error in the first inning when. with the
bases full. he declared Mcbride out on
strikes. Mcbride had Col,amore two
