IND Half 9th Inning.
The Slabvilles saw they had to play.
The game was not so sure.
The runs they had had seemed
enough,
But now they wanted more.
Bill Miller's hit was safe in right,
And so was that of Biggs,
Hank Simms was on the coaching line,
A-Wildly dancing iigs.

:
Come on, you fellows, play the
game"
Sang out the umpire Dink.
And Jimmie got upon his feet,
AS quick as you could wink.
Say imp, that feller's stringing you,
He hasn't tried at all,
To keep from getting hit
By that there pitchers ball"
This was proclaimed with emphasis.
BY the young man who caught.
Red Kelly seemed to be perplexed
And said, That's what l thought"
well, don't care, he takes his base. =
Said Dink, riled up a bit.

Faithful Narrative wherein is set forth Every Feature
Pohonk and Slabvile in which there More Thrills
Hospital Calls than were ever before Recorded

Copyright. 1915, by Dwight Burroughs
Now Vic O'Brien it was thought
Could sure bring Jim Gray home.
If Jim's legs weren't affected by
The blows upon his dome.
But Vic waved at the bad balls,
Struck at those out Of reach.
The only one he didn't try
Was cross the plata peach!
So he was called out on three strikes
While Herb White went to bat,
And soaked the second ball pitched up
So hard 1t made it fiat.
Herb bounded all the way to second.
Gray was one base ahead.
He might have tried to get in home,
But he was half afraid.
Dunn saw no chance for him TO nit,
The fielders looked like walls.
So he stood frightened at the plate.
And got his base on balls.
Now Skinny Jim he swung away,
And made two base hit.
While Ducky Browns skyscraping fly
In Tubby Ryan's hands lit.
And all expected Dummy Wright,
Would keep up the good work.
But Rabbit Murphy jumped and
brought
His fly down with jerk.

But evil days are always brief,
The storm went sailing by,
The clouds were soon all swept away,
And left a clear blue sky.
Now Simms popped up fly to pitch.
Murphy was out to right.
And Freckled Mike struck out again !;
AS all supposed he might.
LIST Half 9Th Inning.
who's up?" asked Captain Herbert
White,
II think it's me-" said Gray. .
IT guess I'd better hit it out"
"All right" said White, You may"

Then l shall knock it to the fence,
He said so all could hear.
The third ball pitched hit Jimmie Gray
Quite full behind the ear.
Right down he went upon the ground.
With loud, sickening thud.
A sound like some old horses foot,
A pulling out Of mud.
He's gone at last" the bleachers
cried,
HE can't get over this.
He's done his duty and have gone
To that fair land of bliss"
Poor Jimmie Strengthened out and
lay,
AS stiff as any log.
Till friend forced his lips apart
And poured in them some grog.

/ Away went Kenny like shot.
Ahead the other flew.
They tainted Goosey with the cry,
us that the best you do?"
AS Kelly sent one into left,
He sang out, This is fun"
1T amt to me, it's more like work.
Observed young Goosey Dunn
The crowd was sore on Smokey Sam
And plainly told him so.
They wanted him to leave the game
But Smokey wouldn't go.
He marched himself up to the plate
While balls went whizzing by,
And didn't hit single one,
He didn't even try.
Soak 1t, you mutt" they loudly
cried,
Sans answer was grin.
Three balls, two strikes went sailing
by,
He never waved a fin.
you blooming bloke, do believe,
That you amt got no sense!'
They yelled, and take brace and
knock
This one clear DER the fence"
He grinned again; another strike
go bag your head, you ham!"
The crowd screamed out, and yelled
you bluff,
Get out the game there Sam"
Tubs Ryan went out on three strikes,
He thought it tough deal,
And Kelly died, pitcher to short,
On his attempt to steal.
LIST Half 7th Inning.
And now the Pohonks found that they
Must take another brace,
For they were clearly second now.
In this great baseball race.
When Pohonks' first man up-Shrimp
Clark,
Stepped to the plate to bat,
It was announced Slabville would play
In right field old Dick Pratt.
But Smokey Sam was mighty mad.
To be put out the game.
He fired a brick at Captain Biggs
And just did miss his aim.
He soaked Hank Simms upon the jaw.
And Miller in the nose.
He launched a blow at Murphy's ear,
And landed mighty close.
He swung his right on Kenny's chin.
His left on Kelly's eye.
His foot he squarely planted in
The stomach of some guy.
Then from the big crowd gathered
there.
Two hundred irate fans,
Rushed out to conquer Smokey Sam.
Headed by Squire Cans.

go to it Scout" he yelled to Pete,
AS Kenny went to bat,
Nobodys out and two are on,
Here's where our score gets fat"
Pete Kenny met dandy drop,
He landed on the seam.
"A Bird A Bird" Hank Simms yelled
out;
"A regular day dream"

Fell on him in a heap.
Till he was buried meath pile

The 10 BacheDenman coal com panies, including their parent corpo. ration, the Bache-Denman Coal Com pany, for which Franklin Bache, presi- dent and general manager of the par ent corporation and the heaviest stock holder in the companies, has been act ing receiver, are insolvent and sub jects for the bankruptcy court, ac- cording to Judge Youmans at Fort Smith. Judge Youmans made this an nouncement in court Friday to the at torneys representing the syndicates, and attorneys for the Sebastian Coun- ty Coal and Mining Company of Phila- delphia, which recently filed suit to have the receivership removed, al leging there was no legal ground for that official. Judge Youmans heard this suit two weeks ago along with a suit of the Sebastian company to can eel leases the Bache-Denman concerns held on it's Prairie Creek property. No decision was rendered in the latter case. The court gave the BacheDen- man people to January Is to consult with their il terests. Judge Youmans said that under the circumstances he did not deem it advisable to continue the receivership after that date. He advised MT. Bache to resign as re- ceiver.

SEVERAL DON'TS FOR SWINE
Twin Litters-keep Floors, Troughs
 and Bedding Clean.

CBy JAMES G. FULLER. Wisconsin Az
 ricultural College)
 Don't use a scrub boar.
 Don't select brood sows from twin" filters.
 Don't have fat. lazy sows; make them exercise. Keep their appetites well "whetted."
 Don't feed the brood SOW too much corn.
 Don't forget to provide dry. warm. we'll ventilated hog houses.
 The colony house Is cheap and efii- cient in case none other is available. Don't fatten pigs; keep them grow ing.
 Don't fail to provide green forage for pigs. Alfalfa, rape. clover or rye make first-class pasture for swine.
 Don't let pigs drink from mud holes and stagnant pools. Provide pure, clean drinking water for them at all times
 Keep floors, troughs and bedding clean. Disinfect occasionally. Dip to prevent lice: vaccinate to prevent cholera: place worm killing mixtures within easy access at all times. An ounce of prevention Is worth pound of cure.

HARD FIGHT FOR
 SHIPPING BILL
REPUBLICAN SENATORS WILL OPPOSE THE ADMINISTRATION
 COMMERCE MEASURE.
MADE UNFINISHED BUSINESS
Minority Members Assert That 1t VIII Not Relieve Situation, as Ships
 Cannot Be Purchased.

Washington.-Gove purchase of ships as proposed in the admins tration bill to create shipping board, finance a $10,000,O00 shipping corpora tion and expend not to exceed S30,000,- 900 for the purchase or charter1ng of ocean carriers is the Foremost issue before Congress.
 By a vote of 46 to 29, the Senate made the ship purchase bill the unfin- ished business, to be supplanted only by appropriation bills. This action made it evident that the measure will have strong opposition. Charging that an effort is being made to rush the bill with undue haste, Republican sen ators, among them Senators Gallinger, Lodge and Root, served notice that the measure would be fought to tn last ditch.
 Minority members of the Commerce Committee filed a report, asserting that the plan would not relieve ship ping conditions because it would be impossible to get ships enough to do any good.
 This is enc of the measures upon which President Wilson is insisting.

Severe restrictions were placed on trading to prevent anything approach ing panic selling, or unloading securi- ties by hostile countries.

Little Rock.


 Bills for everything from a new pri- mary election law to a measure for pensioning mothers already nave been proposed, and in some cases drafted, In anticipation of the opening of the legislative session.
 Among the most important meas ures that will come up early is that relative to the state finances. A mum Der of bills probably will be introduc ed in the biennial attempt tc solve the revenue problem" Unless some plan is hit upon for committee bill, the discussion over this sul ject Is liable to handicap other legislation, owing to the 60-day limit.
 It has been suggested that joint committee from the house and Senate be named to draft a revenue bill to save time and to get all the facts rela- tive to the states financial difficulties properly assembled. There is much speculation as to whether the recom- mendations of Secretary os State Hodges, that the State Debt Board be empowered to borrow money to care for the deficit, will be adopted.
