GREATEST BASEBALL
PLAY BY KING KELLY
He Thought It Out While Bali

THE greatest play from the stand.

Of the Giants, was one made by Mike
Kelly years ago. 1t illustrates why
they called Mike the king.
Kelly was catching In close game.
In the ninth inning his team led by a
run, when the other side stepped to
bat. Two men We're retired easily
Then base on balls and an error put
the tying run on second and the win

THE next batter shot a hot single to
right, and the man on second tore for
the plate. The outnelder's throw came
In true enough, but to Kelly's left, on
his gloved hand As the ball was In
the air Mike saw that he had to take
1t with his left hand. If he used two
hands he would miss the runner. Yet
taking the ball with the glove and
swinging into sliding man, he ran
the chance Of dropping the throw.
Kelly figured this out quicker than
1t takes me to tell it. He flung off his

LOOK AHEAD.

BY Raymond A. Harlan.
Look ahead. for lfes before you:
Let no failure keep you down.
You can win if you'll keep trying.
Don't give up, and sigh, and frown
"He who turns back is not worthy"
The great Teacher firmly said;
Backward elances profit nothing
Don't look back. but look ahead.
Human wrecks are all about US.
Drifting with iife's restless tide:
Soon they'll sweep into the OCEAN
The eternal sea so wide.
All their dreams and aspirations.
Like the withered flowers, are dead: .
They could reach their desired haven.
II they'd only look ahead.
Look ahead; perhaps some weak one,
Burdened with heavy load,
Will need your help and comfort
When you meet him on life's road.
Throw away mistakes and failures
Let them be forever dead;
Crowns are waiting for the victors-
For the ones who look ahead.

WILSON ENDORSES
COLLEGE FOOTBALL

New York, June with President
Wilson's Endorsement back Of inter
collegiate athletics, prospects have
frightened up for the coming foot
ball season
Prior to the Presidents announce
ment there was little hope held forth
by the sponsors of football that the
great college game would be able to
flourish this fall. With hundreds of
college football players fiocking to
the colors and the student bodies Of
all schools taking up military drills,
which occupied most of the time they
had free from the pursuance of their
studies, indulgence in football was
not looked for except on small
scale.
But now all is changed The Presi
dent OF our country has recommend
cd that the undergraduates at our
schools and colleges keep up their
sports as usual. reminding them that
Our young men must be made phys.
ically Mt In order that they may
take the place of these now of mill
tary age. and exhibit the vigor and
alertness which we are proud to be-
lieve to be characteristic of Amer
lea"
Since the President issued his
statement In favor Of college sports
plans are being made for the opening
OF the collegiate football season in
both East and West as usual. While
many star players will be missing
from the lineups, the oncoming crop
of grldiron stars will be used to make
up the teams, and with the strong
hold that football has on the sport
loving public the game will not lose
in popularity.
College sports Of all sorts were in
a bad way before the President came
TO their rescue with his timely and
welcome suggestion. College ath-
letes, almost to man, led the way
for the vast army of undergraduate
In hundreds of schools thruout the
country. The military spirit swept
over our institutions OF learning in
great and powerful wave. Sports
were dropped, drills taken up and
athletic schedules cancelled Sports,
insofar as the colleges were con.
cerned, were dying slow death.
More than SO per cent. of the students
In all schools rose to support the col
ors in one way or another,
Though the stars in all branches of
college sports viii be missing, the
way is opened now for a continuance
OF sports and new and enthusiastic
army OF college athletes will be up

there are q thousand Mexican fami-
lies in the Brownsville district who
are kept from starving because they
are eating the refuse and leave-overs
from the soldiers mess.
( / want to tell d pathetic incident
which came to my observation about
January 1. A number of the boys,
members of the same company as L,
had been taking their washing to a
Mexican woman who lived near the
Second Iowa CORRAL. The husband
was diligent worker, but they had
purchased their lots and erected
their small house after the arrival
OF the iowa troops, and had expended
every dollar of their savings in this
purchase. They were getting along
nicely with what money the woman
was earning at washing clothes,
when the family came down with the
measles. A physician was called
and he caused the home to be placed
under quarantine A few days later
one of the boys took his washing over
and found them wearing a pinched
expression. The husband, being able
to talk English fluently enough to be
told him that they had
been quarantined for several days
and that he had, of course, been I'M
able to make trips down town to
purchase food for his family. Our
man left his bundle, hurried back to
camp, started at the kitchen, went
down the line, and when he had can
vassed the last tent he had enough
food stored away in large sack to
feed the family for two weeks. /
want to add that quite large per
cent of the goods in that bag was
dainties that had been sent to the
boys ON the observation-disclosures dam
ties from friends and. relatives in
Hamilton county. But I will ven-
ture to guess that not one person
will criticise the boys for sharing
their good things to eat in a case Of

POTATOES.

Sioux City Tribune: HOW soon
will the big break come in potato
prices? No matter what combina-
tions or organizations have been re-
sponsible for abnormal quotations
which have prevailed since early in
the year, it does not seem possible
that a stand can be held Indefinitely
against the huge marketings of po-
tatoes now in progress and the addi-
tional huge marketings still to come
during the summer and fall. Under
conditions which existed prior to
two years ago, potato crop such as
1.-THE one now in prospect would in
sure a July market of rs cents a
bushel on the farms.
Some strong influence has been at
work, without doubt, in holding up
prices on potatoes in the face of
heavy sales from southern states.
High prices have been maintained by
paying high prices to producers for
the new offerings, and this situation
lis said to augur an attempt to cor
ner this years crop. Within the past
few days, according to newspaper
men have been trav-
leling through Nebraska, Iowa and
South Dakota offering to contract for
all Of the potatoes in sight. If an
attempt really is being made to cor
ner the 1917 potato crop, the best
way to mete out justice to the spec
ulators is to sell them the potatoes
at high prices, then quit using pota-
toes entirely or bring pressure on
the government to set price OF
about, SO cents bushel. .7 ,sA
