We didn't come over here to kick
your "houn dawg around" nor to be
shown '"The Mysterious Stranger"
We just came over to be neighborly;
to cat with you of the fruits of the
Ozarks, than which no section can pro-
duce greater variety of grains, and
vegetables, and fruits; the Ozark coun-
try Of Southeast Missouri and South
erh Illinois, the home of the Wine Sap
apple and the liberia peach in their
greatest perfection. We challenge the
world, for there are no peaches more
luscious and more beautiful than those
Of the Ozarks, whether they be of the
variety that hang on trees or that
hang on gates.
We Just came over to smoke with
you-to smoke the pipe of peace, like
Don Louis L9rimier of old. We know
that there is no pipe like the corn
cob, the missouri Meerschaum. F"
There never was anything so dear to
the old-time printer at the old-time
case as the corn-cob pipe.
We just came over to drink with
yOu-to drink, perhaps, of the pure,
crystal, bubbling spring waters of the
Ozarks, than which no beverage on
earth is more satisfying and more
healthful. If l we're poet would
write sonnet to the Ozark spring wa

for it deserves it fully as much as
''The Old Oaken Bucket" To para

For often at noon when returned

pleasure,
The purest and sweetest that nature
can yield.
How ardent l seized it, with hands
that were glowing!
|, And quick on the white pcbbicd bot
tom it rings;
Then soon with the emblem of truth
overflowing,
And dripping with GOODNESS, it rose
from the spring;
The old-fashioned gourd dipper, the
long-handled gourd dipper,
The Missouri gourd dipper which
hung by the spring.

WHEN PLAYERS SLOW UP THEY BEGIN TO STUDY
 INSIDE BASEBALL LAW

Talk with any wise old baseball manager or player and he will tell you that. the slower player becomes the more that player learns about in side baseball and the more he plays the inside game, writes B1I1 spargo tn the Boston Traveller. While he has all his speed the player breezes through care1ess1y. His physical fit ness carries him through with lots to spare.
 When he feels himself slipping he herds by himself, figures everything to three or four decimal places and actually begins to learn the game They do say that Mathewson, Coornbs and Fucker, all Great New York hur1ers. are in this class. The slower they become physically the faster their top piece revolves.
 If all this is true. just stop to imagine what Matty, the Iron Man and Nap might have done when at the top of their physical speed if they only had the vile and knowledge of inside tactics they've acquired on the physical down grade.
 And what team would ever get a hit off Grover Cleveland Alexander of the PhiIs, if Alec, now at the top of his physical speed, could add to his stock in trade the mastery of the in Hfde stuff which supposedly comes l4onIy on the inevitable retreat before Ithe inevitable enemy. Age2

STUPID PLAY
 BY TANKS ON
 BASES COSTLY


 New York, July 3o-Ty Cobb. Sam Crawford, and other members of the Detroit club had something to do with winning a ball game, from the Yankees at the Polo Grounds yester- -day, but they didn't have as much to do with their own victory as the Yankees had. The Yankees won the game for Detroit by drowsy base rum ming. z The score was to 6. In the eighth and ninth innings the Yankees were going like wi1df1re and were cutting down the Detroit lead in most alarming way. They got enough hits to win, but they -clogged their own progress on the base paths. Donovan's men batted so we'll in the eighth that they drove Hughey Jennings infant wonder, Bernie Roland, off the tee. They were going after Bill Steen strong, too, when Gene Layden, who was run ming for Pipp, was caught fast asleep off second base. Eddie Barney also did some stupid base running in over running second and put a damper on the Yankee activity.
 Again in the ninth inning, when the Tanks had two runners sojourning on the bases, Dan Boone took an un- necessarily bold Journey around sec ond base after Maisel lined to Cobb and was doubled up, ending. a prornis- ing inning. The Detroits stripped Jack Warhop's underhand pitching of all its mystery in the sixth inning and a substantial rally carried the Tigers far to the front.

 FEDERALS BUYING
 PARK IN NE: " YORK

New york, July 30AThe Federal League in it's search for a site either mo near Manhattan came within 3 few hours Of being a neighbor Of the Grounds. Had not President Hemp stead, of the New York baseball club stepped in 1t is probable the Feds would now control a, site on the op- posite side of Eighth aVenue.
 The Federal League agents have spent al great deal of time look Ing for available locations. and are still seeking. They had about aban- doned Manhattan the story goes and decided to go to the Bronx. There was oFe proposition, however, that sounded feasible
 This involved the securing of the two blocks extending to the Harlem river and Tying between 155th street and a point about halfway between 157th ana I58th streets In these blocks there are few old buildings, but for the most part they are va
 One street. 15eth street. runs through them to the river. which is only . short distance. Most Of the property in the two odd blocks is owned by Capt James Coogan. who, with the Lynch family, owns hattan Field.
 The plan was to lease or buy the Gogan holdings east of Eighth ave nue under dummy name and to buy up the few scattered parcels be- longing to the other owners.
 Hempstead got wind of the plans, and started a little buying campaign on his own account. He is said to have paid George Brow n. one of the owners, d fancy figure for these lots on the north side of 18th street, at point which would be about the center Of the proposed ball field. When the Federals learned of this purchase they gave up their prop osed deal. The titles to the 156th street lots which were sold by Mrs. Brown were recently taken in the name of Archibald s IewBern, Of Bound Brock. N, ?. It is known, however. that checks signed by President Hampstead. of the Giants, were used
