 Material is being placed on the ground for the building for the Dixie Broom Works, which will be erected on East Division street, between Main and Walnut. Construction work will be commenced on the building as soon as weather conditions will permit. S. U. and L. w. Rogers and Omer Phil lips are the promoters of the new enterprise. Mir. Phillips, one of the promoters, has had many years ex- perience in the broom manufacturing business which means that the plant will turn out superior brand of broom. The location of this plant here will increase the broom corn in- dustry in this section, giving the farmers a market for their product, which commands a price of from $50 to $200 per ton.-Hope Gazette.

start. The Giants took particular de-
light in driving their old mate to- the
cooler under a bombardment Of hits.
The next time they faced him they
figured Rube would be a cinch for
them, whcreupon Rube turned right
around and beat them in a thinning
pitchers battle, during which he al
lowed only few scattered safeties.
Rube's showing to date, with a
championship club behind him, has
not been impressive, Whenever Rube
enters the box these days, no one
even attempts to hazard guess as
to what will happen to him. He may
pitch shut-out ball, or he may Be
hammered out OF the box. He may
hold the enemy hitless for seven or
eight rounds only to yield a half
dozen swats in the ensuing stanzas.
Or he may permit the enemy to ac-
cumuiate . five-run lead in the first
inning and then holdsthem hitless the
rest Of the way.
No one ever knows jtst what Rube
will do, least Of all himself. He's the
mystery Of baseball; the twirier who
never runs true to form because he
Is formless; .the pitcher, who has had
more ups and downs than any other
In the game; the moundsman who
never will be forgotten, because, OF
his pitching eccentrieities. ~.

Many CollegeLads
Break Into Ranks
OF Professional Ball

New York, July S.-An unusual
number Of college base ball players
have entered the big leagues this sum-
incr. How many will be prominent
by the time the big league season
endsf II the Usual average obtains,
the successful ones will be in minor
lily. Yet, again, some Of the neophytes
have displayed ability on the univer-
sity diamond, which bespeaks at
least a certain amount Of success.
George Smith OF Columbia, for ex-
ample. After he has been sweetened
down there would appear to be strong
likelihood of his being valuable
member OF the Giant pitching squad.
And Pie Way has also gone to Nc
Graw's team. Way is a husky youth,
who has speed, control, and curves.
He may develop into a big league
star. Watt, the Columbia captain,
has signed with Detroit, and Andy
Coakley says he has no doubt that
this player will make good in big
company. Watt, he says, is one OF
the closest students of base ball he
has ever met. He is always consid-
ering how to improve his game, and
will develop swiftly, Coakley thinks.
