CAPAHAS BEAT SIKESTON 3 TO ?

In what was pronounced the best
game in recent Cape Girardeau base
ball history, the Barenkamp Capahas
Sunday afternoon took the measure of
the Sikeston nine by to 2 score in
ten-inning bout.
One of the largest crowds that ever
attended a game at the Fairgrounds
turned out to see the Sikeston boys
and the Capahas tangle, as well as to
see the Chalmers motor car given to
the holder of the lucky number.
The automobile was won by C. K.
Porter of st. Louis, who held ticket
No. 1923. He was notified by tele-
phone of his fortune, and by last night
he had sold it to a man from limo
who had several chances on the ma
chine.
r. W. Frissell, City Clerk, nearly
had heart failure when the winning
number was announced. He held No.
1419.
The baseball game was tied in the
eighth, and the ninth inning failed to
get a decision. In the tenth, however,
the Capahas managed to force a run
over the plate. Good fielding prevail
ed throughout the game, although a
few errors were made. Both sides
played big league ball Vangilder, the
local twirler, performed in frst-cIass
style.

Farmer Shivers
When He Meets
Pile Of Snakes
Shoots Ten and Equal Num-
Der Escapes in the Weeds
Alligator is Slain in Cape
Stable.

Yesterday was snake day in and
around Cape Girardeau. An old-time
snake party was broken up two miles
northwest of the city yesterday when
Elmer Meyer, the son of a farmer,
while crossing a branch near his home,
was confronted by the reptiles, holding
family reception.
Mr.. Meyer was walking home and,
in order to cut short the way, crossed
over some pasture land. He had Just
passed the Wulfer slaughter house
when he reached a small brook. He
trotted down the hill in order to accu-
mulate the momentum necessary to
help him to spring across the stream.
He had gathered the momentum, but
just as he was ready to leap he found
it absolutely necessary to reverse and
back up.
Twenty reptiles, all coiled up in a
bundle, were writhing but a few feet
from him. While Mr.. Meyer isn't
afraid of snakes, he feels that they
should not cOngregate along paths
which human folks must trod.
AS soon as he could face about and
start out again in the opposite direc-
ton, he hurried away from the scene.
He went to his home, procured shot
gun and returned. The reptiles were
still there. He took steady aim and
pulled the trigger. The old family
gun barked like a friend. Meyer
dropped the gun into his lap and
looked.
Ten snakes were squirming in a
mass, and while he was wondering how
many had been fatally wounded, he
counted ten others as they crawled
into the bushes. Then he stepped up
cautiously to examine the reptiles that
he had executed. He counted ten
either dead or mortally wounded. Mr..
Meyer was unable to ascertain what
they had been doing, but he would
not be surprised if they were discuss
ing the ACCESSIBILITY of entering the
Cape zoo.
Frank Mcdonald, who conducts a
livery barn on Broadway, just east of
Mayor Kage's office, took part in the
second reptile story. He stepped back
toward the rear end of the stable to
get horse and was visibly affected
to notice an alligator emerging from
one of the stalls.
"Police! Police!w walled the livery
man. Then he realized that he must
either charge or be attacked. Selling
single-tree he committed assault and
battery on the denizen of the ever
glades. When he dropped his weapon
and fed, the reptile was ready to be
turned over to an undertaken.
He learned later that the alligator
was "Doc" Edwards mascot. The
alligator was presented to Edwards
by Toby Foster upon the latter's
return from the Mardi Gras celebra-
ton at New Orleans about two months
ago. Since then Edwards has kept the
alligator in his garage on Broadway.
1t escaped Sunday night. The body
was taken to the morgue.

like to hear the bizzy bees a buzzin
round the flours-
like to walk thru Lovers Lane in the
Springtime twilite hours.
There is somethink in my heart which
tells me line in love
The mune is shining bright & the stars
is twinkling above.
The birds is singing sweetly jest like
as if they'd bust their Threats
The farmer callilates its time to plant
his corn & oats;
The lambkins frolick on the green as
pert as ennything
& why is all this thusly-sinply becuz
its Spring.
To me Spring is the most bewtifewlest
time of the yr.-
Ennybuddy who don't like spring must
be queer.
Winter is too cold, Summers too hot,
Ottums too sad,
But spring is jest right & being its here
line glad.
