 Coach Stanton used this combina = ton against Redlands Saturday. The Baptists held the Huns even for the first half, but were gradually worn down. The second backfield was put into the game. with the result that Pomona scored three touchdowns without much opposition from the weary Baptist varsity.
 The Huns expect. by using this in terchangeable backfield, to be able to make up for their inexperienced line.

HAYDEN, Oct. 2O.-(Special Cor respondence. .-Hester's Miners lost to Powelrs Millers on the local diamond this afternoon in an exceptionally close and exciting exhibition of the
 national sport Dent did the tossing for the Millers while Bromley opposed him on the mound for the Miners and it was decidedly pitchers bat tie, both doing splendid work through out This is the last game these two teams will play this season. The Smelterites will go to Ray next Sun day and there will be two games be- tween the Mill and Shelter here next " eeiE, closing the season.
 The visitors were first at bat in tO0ay's contest and after Scanlon and Hester were both down Demaggio sent hot one to short and made it safe but it was no use as Mitchell came next and was an easy victim After the first frame no one connected safely until the foutrh when it was again Demaggio as he sent a bounder to third and with characteristic fleet footedness beat the sphere to first Mitchell then sacrificed placing De maggie on second. With only one down and Nick on second it looked
 like score for the visitors but Dris- coll hit to Whelan and as DemaggiO tried to advance Kelliher covered
 third and Whelan played to him and Nick was out. This shock was too great for ambitious Hester and he charged across the field toward Um- pire Andrada. and there was consider able excitement for a time After things cooled off a little the game was resumed but Herb was quietly repCsing on the bench, Ramage hav-
 ing taken his place in the game Mahoney retired the side by flying to right. In the fifth Arbogast grounded
 safe to right but Pendleton followed sending one to short and two went out on a fast double play. Bromley then grounded to Whelan who threw
 wild to first allowing the runner to make second. Scanlon then grounded to Whelan who threw to Van and the
 ball went by as the suns rays in terfered with Joe's vision, Bromley scoring and Scanlon resting at sec ond. Ramage famed and the side retired. This run made on errors was the only one for the visitors in the entire game.
 The MilIers went down before
 
 almost every inning and did not have a "loOk-in'' until the sixth. In this
 inning Van was already down when Whelan grounded to left for a safety and immediately stole second as the
 ball was being returned from the field. Zamloch then sent a bounder to short who threw wild in attempting to catch Whelan at second. This allowed Whelan to come home and the score was tied amid great pandemonium in local fandOm. There was nothing
 more doing until the eighth when Van
 walked. Whelan flew safe to right advancing Van. ZamlOch then sent a grounder to second and WhcIan
 was out at second but Van was on third and came home when Wachob connected for a safety. This was all,
 but sufficient to win one of the hard est fought games of the season.

Another One Likes to Chase

Oficials, both county and city who
live here, are evidently dog lovers to
Judge from the number OF dogs of all
sizes and breeds which they own.
Some Of the dogs have unusual traits
and all OF them might be said to be
temperamental-if that term can be
applied to a dog as well as an opera
star. At any rate they all have their
own peculiar likes and dislikes.
There is one small dog in Keokuk
which has feelings which are easily

show that he is hurt If anyone. In
Guiding his master speaks .unkindly to
him. The dog is the little fox terrier

Glenn E. Maxwell Sharkey is bid
dab1e dog, II one speaks to him In
kindly way. But Sharkey refuses to
bulge if he is commanded to do any
thing and the command is given In
loud or cross voice.
It is frequently necessary to send
Sharkey home from some OF his fav-
orite haunts down town. The usual
mode of procedure would be to stamp
ones foot and rudely order Sharkey
to depart. But to Sharkey this Is an
insult and he shows it by standing
still. If his master tells him, how
ever. by speaking softly to him that
he must go home now, Sharkey moves
on up the street to his home, without
any more ado
Another fox terrier who lives in the
same neighborhood with Sharkey, and
who has made scores Of friends, but
who is extremely temperamental at
times. is Cap. the brown and white

Fishes and birds have an advan.

Their eyes are set not for looking
straight ahead, but for looking out on
each side. That is because they ball
