AVAILABLE FOR
HOMESTEAD ENTRY

Uncle Sam has recently made a.
vailable for homestead entry what
IS officially known as the Fourth u
nit of the Belle Fourche irrigation
project in South Dakota. From time
60 time for the, past several years
small areas have been opened to
the public in this section and al
ready there is formed splendid
agricultural community as a nucleus
for the development of the entire
project which will require several
months to complete. The present o.
pening is therefore generally re-
gafded as offering an excellent OPP
portunity for the man who wishes
to exercise his homestead right and
still obtain a desirable and produc-
tive tract of land within few
miles of towns where there are
modern advantages, such as schools.
churches, stores, telephone service
and good markets.
The crop returns on the Belle
Fourche project have been very
good and an encouraging feature of
the trend of it's development is
the increase in stock and the ten
dency to engage in hogs. Agricultur
al experts have long pointed out
the advantages on this project for
hog raising and dairying. With re-
&C gnized markets for merchantable
produces and the facilities for pro-
ducing alfalfa of a fine quality.
The settlers seem to have needed
this advice and their splendid re-
suits are now serving as an impe-
tus for further progress along
these lines. Persons who appreciate
/ the desirability of engaging in al
falfa culture, hogs and dairying can
find nowhere in the west section
which will offer better facilities for
specializing alorg these lines of en-
deavor.
The Government announces that
1.-THE land itself is free and can be
obtained only under the homestead
law. Provision is made by the Re-
slamation Service for supplying wat
er at actual cost to each settler
| and after twenty years time he is
given outright a permanent water
fright.

Baltimore Orioles
 Were Great Ball Team

The. old Baltimore team of 1s94-B. one Of the gratest teams ever gotten together, originators of the new style Tor ball, play was a galaxy of athletes who were endowed with brains and brawn, and made them count in the game Of baseball With a pitching staff composed of such mediocre hur- Hers as Hemning, Rper, and Hopper with the old stars who were in the sere and yellow. such as Tony Mu1iane, t.axids Gleason. and Sadie. McMa.hon. the team won three pennants Later k 1t added ArIie Pond and Jimmy Me James. All these hur1ers made records | in games won owing to the bTilAancy Iof the team behind them.
 most peculiar fact bout the fa- nous Raltimores of 1s04-5 was that they were all at one time or another battery men. John McGraw began his career on the diamond as pitcher, and was credited with being very tricky but q fierce kicker. Hugh len ntngs was no false alarm as a catcher, and his friends declare that he made
 mistake when he switched for an in field position.
 ssWee willie. Keeler was a left handed twirler, but lacked weight for pitching, but semed to have the neces- gary avoirdupois to hit ball as hard ixnanager of the team, used to pitcn before taking to the outfie1d.
 Then there WAS Joe Kelley. When lJoe was a fuIl-fedged Orfole he played the outfieId, but MT. Kelley won consi- derab1e fame as hurler of curves and otherwise. Even Big Dan Brouthers
 began his baseball career as a pitcher, l but that was away back.
 Reftz, the second basernan, also In- fielder E. Bonner were good eatchers and spent part of their minor league days behind the bat and the famous 1 Walter tSteve1 Brociie, was a clever back stopper at one time So every player on that famous old team won This spurs either as a. pitcher of curves ] or as receiver of them.
 I Four of the famous squad are now ] four of the greatest managers in the game and .sKid' Gleason is in line for a big league job as manager. and ii 1 is not to be wondered that the BaItl- lnaore team of those days won pennants with J. McGraw, Hugh Jennings, Will bur Robinson, Joe Kelly in its ranks l and Edward HanIon, the manager o1 managers at the helm.

JERRY CONNELL TO CAST NEW HAvEN'S
 VOTE AT MEETING

New Haven, March f6.-Owner Cameron of the New Haven club yes- terday wired The Journal-Courier from Chicago to the effect that Jerry Conne1I had only been temporarily 9reIeased' as manager of the local for ces, but that the Wfnsted citizen will represent him at to-day's meeting at Hartford. Cameron offered no expla- nation for his unique move but it will be solvent immediately after to-day s session
 To-day will mark the first time that Conne11 has had the honor of repre- senting the New Haven club at lea que meeting. Tn the past Cameron has entrusted his proxy to President OfRourke. On the surface it appears as though Cameron wants to get a direct line on the happenings at to- day's session and Cornell, in turn. will report back to Cameron. Con- nell, of course, has received his in structions.
 When the next bulletin is made pulp lie by Secretary Farrell it is to be ex- pected tns6 Jerry Conne1Ps name will appear under the terms accepted'' heading. There is some technicality, it is believed, regarding the legality of a manager, who is not a director representing club at meeting and this may be Cameron's idea Of put ting one over' on his associates.
