STRANGE WAY TO
WIN A BALL GAME

Jack Hendricks. manager of Indian
apolis. tells yarn Of one of the oldest
ball games ever won.
There Is one game we won when had
the Denver team" says Jack, that was
won from the bench by a kid recruit in
the strangest way I ever saw. We didn't
understand it ourselves until afterward.
This kid was a pitcher, a quiet fellow,
who was slow getting acquainted and
never had much to say.
We were playing Omaha. Our pitch
er got wild and pitched three balls to q
batter and I was getting ready to send
In another pitcher. The next ball went
straight over the plate. To my surprise
heard four balls seemingly from the
umpire.
The runner on first started for Sec
ond. Our pitcher tossed the ball over
to the first baseman. who ran down and
tagged the surprised runner. The Omaha
fellows made a kick. claiming the um-
pire called it a ball and caused the rum
ner to leave the base.
THE umpire said he called it q strike.
In the ninth inning their first batter
reached first and the next had three
balls and no strikes called when the same
thing happened There was a long
wrangle
THE umpire said he had called strike
and had motioned strike The Omaha
players swore they heard him call II a
ball We won the game. In the dress
ing-room all our fellows were arguing
about the decision. Most of them vowed
they heard the umpire call both times
and I was sure of 1t. The kid pitcher
was dressing near me.
II called those balls. Mr.. Hendricks.'
he said quietly. I threw my voice so
the man on first would hear BALI and
start Off the base
He was a ventriloquist and he told
me that q lot of times he had called out
from the bench and caused the base run
ners to get up and walk away from the
bag. thinking the umpire had made the
decision

The Revival of Sheep and Wool

II sounds very funny when con-
sidered in Connection with the dire
predictions of disaster made by
our republican friends at the time
of the adoption of the new demo-
cratic tariff, but it is fact, never
thelcss, that the sheep and wool in
industry is undergoing great re-
vival throughout the country.
The man who was so nearly led
to believe that he was ruined by
the new wool tariff, and who Sc
riously thought of getting out of
the sheep and wool business in re-
sponsc to the gratuitous advice
given him by the rApublican calam-
ity howlers, has Seen both sheep
and wool rise to the highest fig
urcs they have commanded in
years, and with it has come so
much prosperity for the sheepman
that almost a furore has been Gre
atcd over both sheep and wool.
All over the country where
there has heretofore been a dispo-
sition to get out Of the sheep and
wool business there is a general
disposition TO reinstate the bust
nes. Breeding ewes Of ali ages are
commanding substantial prices and
flock owners are securing the
country in an effort to find more
breeding stock.
The natural sequence of this
movement is going to be that the
sheep is going to come into his own
again rapidly in much Of the coun-
try where it has been believed he
was a banished entity. 1t means
that all the pastoral regions of the
southwest that have heretofore
carried large bands of sheep are
again to he stocked with these ami
mails, and the annual sale of wool
and mutton is again going to be-
come an active factor in our do
nestle economy.
Where this prarliesahas been ad-
hcred to ii has been uniformly
successful, and that success has
been sufficient to wipe out all the
prejudice that once existed among
cattlemen toward the despiscd
"wOolies. Ell PaSo Times.
