WHO WILL BE BONE"
OF PRESENT CLASSIC?
Memorial Miscue Is Dedicated
in Almost Every Worlds
Series Played

Who will be the bone" of the series7
In almost every worlds series played
there has been some play that caused
the scribes and fans throughout the
country to talk for weeks about a play
er's stupidity that cost his team a chance
for victory. As usual the unfortunate
Merkle played the leading role in two
Of the greatest bones made In the base
bail classic.
Merkle's worst "bull" came in the final
game of the series between the Giants
and Red Sox in 1912, and was really re-
sponsible for losing the series, although
Snodgrass' historic muff started all the
trouble. With the score tied i'm the 10th
Engle, batting for Wood raised an easy
fly TO centre which Snodgrass muffed.
Hooper then raised a fly which Snod-
grass caught, but Mathewson passed
Yerkes. This placed runners on first
and second with one man out. The Gil
ants had scored in the first half of the
10th inning and il looked like a sure vic
tory when Speaker raised a high foul
between the plate and first base, but
much nearer to the latter station.
1t was ball that Merkle should have
been waiting for, but he never moved
from his position. The Red Sox on the
bench were shouting for Myers to take
the ball and Merkle was completely
fooled. While the fans looked on in
amazement Merkle stood still and watch
ed Myers try for a ball that fell within
10 feet of first base.
This bone" in not keeping his mind
on the game and taking the ball, caused
Mathewson to lose heart. and Speaker
hit the next ball pitched to right for a
single scoring Engle with the trying run
Yerkes took third and Speaker second
on the thrOw-in Lewis was purpos0ly
passed, filling the bases, and Gardner
then won the game and series by sending
a long sacrifice fly to Devore, when
scored YeTkes.
Had It not been for that bone" every
New York player would have collected
$500 more.

Another Dope Yarn
Then we bumped into another expert
xho had something on his chest and the
following was unraveled:
rThe Phillies are sure to win this series
within six or seven games. They should
win through getting such jump as the
Braves got last year. They not only have
fhe advantage of Alexander to put them
away in front, but in both games played
Al Philadelphia they have big advan-
tage in that the fast Boston outfield will
hsve no chance to cover ground-as there
isn't any great amount to be covered.
Sneaker Lewis and Hooper upon defense
will not be a bit more useful than Whit
led, Paskert and Cravath. But Cravath
and Luderus, having the range of the
shorter walls, will be far more valuable
on attack than any three Red Sox. So
In the first two games-in three Of the
FIRST FIVE games, the Phillies have big
advantage on both offense and defense
an advantage large enough to put them
safely through"
Still More Exporting
Here is still another opinion launched
by close student of form:
Ten days ago / thought the Red SoX
would win in five games Now l believe
the Phlllies will win in six games. For
the Red Sox have fallen into the same
slump that caught the Mackmen last
year. Carrigan gave Shore, Foster and
Leonard in turn, a Anal workout and
none Of them looked to be upon the edge
that Rudolph and James were last fall.

HISTORY OF EAST
OT|SCO FARMERS
CLUB INTERESTING
PAPER READ BY MRS. S. ID.
CHICKERING is REPRODUC-
ED BELOW

At the last meeting of the East
Otisco Farmers club Mrs. S. d.
Chickering gave history of the club
from the time of it's beginning. We
are glad to be allowed the privilege
Of printing it here. The history fol-
lows:
By the way of introduction | will
say it seems to me that as long as
things are prosperous and progress
sing in the right way, history has lit
tie TO say about them. But when OPP
position is encountered history has
something to say of the fight" Our
club has been too prosperous and too
harmonious to have much of a his
tory.
Early in February 1903, it occurred
to some of our progressive farmers
that it would be a good thing to or
ganiZe a farmers club. A meeting
was held at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. o. A. hummer. Only small
number attended. The next week an
other meeting was held at the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. Ernest Benton. This
meeting only made them more sure
that a farmers club would be a good
the papers that are sent out by the
state association of farmers clubs
to assist those who wish to organize
clubs. A third meeting was held at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Clyde Coop
er Friday evening, February 81, 1903
"for the purpose of organizing a per-
manent organization.
At this meeting, with o. A. Mum
IN oh
bylaws were drafted, amended and
adopted The club was called the
East Otisco Farmers club and officers
were elected for the ensuing year. Our
first officers were: President, o. A.
hummer; recording secretary, Sarah
A. Krick; corresponding secretary,
Cora Carpenter; treasurer, Milton NJ.
Benedict.
The object of the club as stated in
the constitution is 'to inculcate
broad, intelligent ambition among our
farmers that more beneficial results
in agriculture and horticulture may
be secured together with higher
standard in moral, social and intel
lectual culture and more thorough
knowledge Of economic principles. "
The constitution as adopted was sign
ed by nineteen. who were present on
the occasion The nineteen members
were: John f. Kohn, Mrs. John f.
Kohn, Oscar A. hummer, Marietta
hummer, Levi Krick, Sarah A.
krick, Ed. l. Carpenter, Cora B. Car
penter Milton NJ. Benedict, Laura

SCOTT SPENCER is
GETTING TO THE FRONT

Scott Spencer, former Smyrna and
Belding boy, now a resident of De-
troit, has under consideration very
fattering offer from the Detroit Con-
servatory of Music to become clarinet
instructor at that institution. Mr..
Spencer is nephew of Supervisor
Fred L. Spencer of the first ward in
this city, and his rapid and successful
rise in the musical profession reflects
great credit on his former teacher,
Geo. w. Holmes of this city. Scott
began his musical studies with Mr..
Holmes, the well-known and expert
clarinet player, in fact, Mr. Holmes
started the young man on his career,
having recognized that he possessed
great natural ability in that direction
and gave him more than ordinary at
tention in boosting him along. The
many friends of Mr.. Spencer in the
city and community will be pleased
to hear of his success in the musical
realm.

PEOPLE
FEEL HAMPERED
UNDER NEW LAW
BAN PLACED ON DICE SHAKING;
PUBLIC CARD GAMES
TABOOED, TOO

Since the edict went forth that
there must be no more dice or card
games in such public places as have
permitted them in the past there has
been considerably criticism of such a
policy. However, there has been no
shaking of dice in Portland since the
notice was given, though cards are
being played under a revised system.
Tables are rented to the players at
fixed price per game, instead OF the
losers buying cigars or other mer-
chandise for the winners. This, 1t is
said, brings the transaction within
the law. As to dice, it is said Pros
ecutor Hall and Sheriff Lowrey agree
that the shaking of dice is certain
form of gambling and that strict
Interpretation Of the law would prob
ably bar the game, though the point
is one that has seldom been raised
and Portland is now the only town in
the county where an attempt has been
made TO stop it. It is intimated that
a general order will soon be sent out
from Ionia putting dice under the ban
all over the county, for the reason
that boys have been allowed to play
it. The present move is purely a
Portland matter, but rumors have
been given out from good authority
that it only antedates a sweeping or
der from other sources which will
concern the whole county.
The effect of a strict enforcement
of the law on places like Hotel Divine
was responsible last week for a petit
ton, signed by nearly every business
man on the street, requesting more
liberal policy on the part of President
Pilkinton, but this, it is said, will not
be considered One member of the
council says if the so-calIed blue laws
are to be respected societies which
have put on drawings in the form of
raffles or other methods Of chance
may become victims of this strong de-
sire to enforce the laws. No other
position would be consistent.

New Ligbt-Weipht Motorcycle

The mon auto" sort of dwarf
motorcycle has just been invented.
1t weights 40 pounds and is capable
of carrying a load of 300 pounds. 1t
measures AZ by Is inches. All pro-
jecting parts, such as handlebars,
seat, etc, are so constructed as to be
folded compactly for convenience in
carrying. storing, etc. 1t can be car
ried about with little more inconven-
fence than a suitcase. One filling of
fuel il said to be sufficient for 70 miles
and the cost of operation is only
about one cent for FIVE miles.
To start the machine the rider sim
ply sits down and presses the foot
starter. The machine is controlled by
the riders instructive motions. By
leaning slightly forward he starts it
ahead and when he desires to stop all
that is necessary is to lean little
backward. When it is desired to come

tive in our club Three have passed
away.
The constitution has been changed
in some minor particulars but is sub
stantially the same. For some years
our meetings were held on the first
Friday in the month, but were chang
ed to the first Thursday as more
convenient TO some of our members.
| find the annual dues have gradually
increased from 10 cents to 80 cents
per year. The advantages to be de-
rived from joining the state associa-
ton of farmers clubs were carly re-
cognized by our club. In December,
1908, O. A. hummer and NJ M. Bene-
dict were sent TO Lansing as delegates
each bearing his own eXepnses. In
1904 two delegates were sent TO the
association and their railroad fare
paid In 1905 all the expenses of the
delegates were paid. This has been
the rule Of the club since that time.
The association dues have also in
creased from $3.50 to $500 per an
mum.
The first fair of the East Otisco
Farmers club was held December Z,
1906 at the home Of Mr.. and Mrs o.
A. hummer. Since which time it
has been an annual event. There has
usually been a very creditable dis
play of farm and household products.
Three times we have had summer
vacation, but for the most part. once
month is not too often to hold our
meetings. In very busy times the at
tendance is sometimes small, but those
who do attend have a good time just
the same.
The meetings of the club have all
been held at the homes of the men,

Save
Fuel
H.
Expense

Genuine gas coke is one
fourth cheaper than hard
coal and goes further. Coke
means freedom from dust,
smoke, SCOT and sulphur
fumes. Less ash 10 carry
out. Quick heat in the
morning. No clogged CHM
neys.
The secret of successful
coke burning is this: Always
keep your hrepot filed as
full as possible and keep it
burning slowly. A big body
of fuel under little draft is
much cheaper than a small
body of fuel under strong
draft. AT night or in mild
weather, cover fire with
ashes or fine coke. Keep
pipe damper nearly closed
except in starting fire. Coke
burns to a powder with very
little waste and does not
need so much poking or
shaking as coal.
For a small hrepot, coke
should be broken up fine.
If these simple directions
are followed, you will find
coke the cheapest and clean
est fuel for furnace, boiler
or heating stove. Order
from the
