FAST RACERS FOR
TIE COUNTY FAIR
Twenty nine Entries in
2:11 Pace, and Seventeen
in 2:14 Trot, Says Sec
rotary Rosson.

The racing card at the coming
Greene county fair to be held here
October 26 to 80, inclusive, will
be the best ever booked on this cir
cult, according to John Rosson, sec
rotary of the local fair association.
Mr. Rosson has just received word
from Cape Girardeau that the Moark
circuit Of which the Greene county
association is member, has booked
twenty-nine entries for the Pill
pace and seventeen entries for the
2:14 trot. The entry fees from this
number of racers will not only pay
all the premiums to be awarded to
the winners but will leave a neat
surplus for the association. In this
connection, it should be stated that
a misimpression exists with refer
ence to the racing at the county
fair Many people have been dis
posed to criticise the management
for offering such large purses to
the winners in the racing events.
Secretary Rosson says the larger
the purses the greater number of
entries the fair will attract, and
the more entries booked the larger
the total amount of entry money.
Thus with fifty or sixty entries in
the local races this feature of the
fair not only becomes self-sustaining
but yields a profit which goes to
help pay premiums on live stock
and agricultural exhibits. Good
racing cards draw the crowds every
day and cause thousands of people
to attend more than once. If the
fair consisted only of exhibits one
visit would satisfy the average per-
son.
A. w. Fligor, superintendent of
the poultry department, calls at
tention to the fact that the poultry
premiums this year are larger and
more varied than on previous years.
Reference to the printed list of
premiums in the fair catalog shows
the management has been very lib
eral in dealing with this depart
ment. On this account Mr.. Fligor
feels confident the poultry exhibits
this year will be much larger than
in previous years.

Nearly half a hundred property
owners and citizens generally have
subscribed 1914 to a fund to be

prove far superior, both in variety

fairs. While the crops in Greene
county have been damaged to some
extent by the heavy rains and
winds of the past three weeks,
when viewed as a whole it is con

one of the largest in the history OF

play of the products of Greene

state of Arkansas. Mr.. Moose went
to Waukesha six weeks ago in the
hope of improving his health.
Heart disease was the cause of his
death.
He was elected attorney general
in the fall of 1912 and was re-
elected in September of last year.
He was president of the state SEN
ate in 1897 and also served two
terms as circuit judge. He was a
member of the board of governors

eral years vice president for Ar

TIP TOPS SECOND
TEAM WINS AGAIN
Maqee Downhearted Over
Repeated Failures OF

rBy Telegraph to The Tribune

Browns Wells, Miss, April 81
there was a device like thermometer

been attached to Lee Msgee, the man
ager of the Tip Tops. this afternoon.
He was utterly disguised over the de-
feat Of the regulars by the colts. and
walked back to the hotel with head
bowed. The colts were joyous over
their victory. which was by score OF
to 4.
Thus far the colts have won three
of the five games played. which seems
to show that the team with which Ma
gee intended to open the season IS not
as strong as he thought. Apparently
there is something radically wrong
with the team.
Bill Upham, the iron man, who had
already made a showing likely to give
him a place as a regular, started on
the mound for the colts. lie was lit
tie off color in the first inning, but
after that he worked in form and had
his curves breaking nicely over the
plate. After four innings he gave way
TO Finis Wilson. a southpaw, who was
wild at times, but was very effective in
pinches He passed six. but famed
seven, Benny Kauff being a victim in
the sixth inning when the bases were
full.
While the colts used only two twirl-
ers, the regulars put three to work.
Tom Seaton was the first trotted out
and he worked for three innings. He
worked hard, but was ineffective. Doc"
Laftte took his place and was found for
four hits, which he kept well scattered.
The Indian, Bluej jacket, finished up the
game for them. He was rather easy for
the colts.
Three more changes were made in the
first string team. Magee changed places
with Hoffman, and Milton Reed, re-
cruit, was placed at short in place of
Gagnier. who was ordered to first base
for the colt team. Gagnier's playing was
the feature of the game. He made three
hits out of four times at bat, including
a homer. each time sending Halt over
the plate Halt also made three hits.
The batting order follows Colts
