CONNIE MACK FOOLED ANSON
"Cap" Left Stranded on Third Base
After Hitting Bali Over Fence
Batting Rally Fizzled.

Once upon a time-in the days of
long ago-"Cap" Arson hammered a
bail over the fence, but refused to
advance farther than third base, al
though he was entitled to a home ran,
and his team was three runs behind
at that time. Why?
Well, in those days the catcher
played back until there was a man on
base. Connie Mack happened to be
the catcher that day and Whitney was
the pitcher for the club opposing the
'Chicagoans. Arson figured that if he
fingered on third Mack would have to
move up back Of the batter and Whit

useless to his side, and he thought

What's the idea of this peace? You
got 'em licked, haven't you? They
lost money last year and they'll lose
more next year. Why don't you make
'em give up?"
The magnate puffed and sent the
smoke to the ceiling; his eyes moved
and finally his lips turned out
Yes. but what are you going to do

SEVERAL. LOTS SELL ON SHE.

BOARDS AT 10 CENTS. :.
RECORD EQUALED BUT ONCE
Increased: Demand From Abroad is Re
.sPonsib'e in Large Measure for
the Big Advance
in Price. !:

Sheboygan,-The price of cheese on
the Sheboygan and Plymouth dairy
boards last week averaged 18% CENTS
per pound although several lots. sold
at 10, cents the highest price ever paid
on the call boards. and the indications
are that: all records will be broken
in 1916.
The steady increase in the price OF
cheese since last November has been
due to the heavy buying of the English
government for her soldiers.
On Feb. 1, 1915, the ruling price for
Longhorns on the local call boards was
1879 cents per pound. TAe cheese
dealers were overstocked and manV OF
them were facing heavy loss.
About that time, however. the sun
ply of Canadian cheese became ev.
hausted and agents for the British gov
eminent came to Wisconsin to secure
their supplies, and last spring more
than 100 cars were shipped from She
boygan county direct to Liverpool. and
the price of cheese went up.
The higest price on record on the
wisconsin boards was paid on March
26, 1912, when the ruling price was is
cents per pound, due, it was stated at
the time. to general shortage. How
ever, the price soon dropped and il.
May big break came in the market
and cheese dropped to Is and then
down to II cents per pound.
