CELEBRATED OPENING
BY WINNING TWO
w. M. A. Beat Dentists and
Town Boys COPIED Their
ODener.


Fhe baseball season was form
ally opened in Lexington We'd
nesday. The Wentworth sol
diers met the Kansas City Den
tai College, and the Town boys
took on Ira Bidwells famous K.
C. Red Sox. The games were
preceded by a parade of the w.
M. A. band and battalion, city
officials, fire department, players
of all four teams, and a number
of motor cars.
In the absence of Mayor Minor,
acting Mayor, John Perry, tossed
the first ball.
Warren, the sorrel topped lad
of the soldiers started to twirl
against the Dentists. He lasted
four innings, when Harry Col
Inns, w. M. AS mainstay re-
placed him. The score was tied
when Warren left the mound,
and Collins held the city boys
scoreless, and, although Warren
was taken from the box, he
proved the hero of the day for
Wenworth. In the seventh and
last inning of that game, War
ren was first man up and swatt-
ed the pill over the left field
fence for a circuit drive, decid-
ing the contest 6 to 5.

The nine that will defend Lex
ington in baseball circles this
summer met Ira Bidwells Red
Sox of Kansas City, a team that
plays most Of it's games travel
ing, and copped the initial fracus
6 to 1.
Lester Carmichael, who Lex
ington fans have been watching
with interest to see if he could
deliver the goods, was the great
est factor in the defeat of the
visitors. He allowed them four
hits and as ID of them whitfield
the ozone, remembrances of Tim
Caldwell, last years invincible
moundmaster for the Lexington
team, were brought forth to the
minds of 1000 enthusiastic fans.
Joe Howe, the locals first sack
er, who never has much luck
against southpaws, made three

Gates and Stevens.
The Athletics crossed with
their first tally in the opening
inning after two were out. They
counted one in the second, two il
the sixth and added another pail
in the eighth, while the only
counter the red stocking boy:
could get was home run in the
seventh, made by their catcher
The blow was a solid smack anC

Poppy Seeds, Twenty Centuries Old,
Sprano Into Brilliant Bloom
When Uncovered.

Some years ago there was seen In
silver mine OF Laurium a curious In
stance of the resuscitating power OF
light after many years. The silver
mines OF Laurium were abandoned
more than 1000 years ago as unwork
able. and were filled for the most part
with the Stag from the workings OF the
miners.
II was discovered, however, that this
Stag contained plenty OF silver, which
could easily be rendered available by
upto-date appliances. Accordingly Il
was removed to the furnace. and. when
next the mine was visited. a wonderful
transformation was found to have Ia.
ken place. Instead OF heap OF rub
bish. the mine had become gorgeous
flower garden. The entire space was
covered with a brilliant show OF pop
pies. This profuse vegetable life. It is
asserted, belonged TO the age In which
the mines we're worked. Twenty cen
turtles old. therefore, were those poppy
seeds; yet, when the removal OF the
Stag allowed the light to fall upon
them, they sprang into life and bloom
under its influence.
