Oh, it was a great day for those hungry for bases and scores. Dur ing the two games there was total of 52 hits and hits of all varieties. There was a total of 31 scores and scores made in every fashion. Those who liked change of pitchers were well entertained. There was total of eight pitchers in two games-four each by the Barons and the Chicks.
 Oh, again it was a great day for the fans who didn't care how they wasted the time It wasn't much of day for the fans who liked scientific fielding, for only five errors were scrambled in with the 47 hits and q runs. The fielding of both infields and outfields was steady and at times brilliant, and if it hadn't been-well, two regular games might never have been crowded into one after noon.
 or the eight enacting the roles of pitcher, the only two who looked really like pitchers were Elmer Fender, reg ular Baron pitcher, and Al Ellis, center fielder who was converted into pitcher in the second game when Manager Molesworth ran out of pitchers.
 Ponder pitched the first game and held the Tribesmen to seven scattered hits. While Ponder was attending to his duty as a pitcher the Barons were lambasting Waite Hoyt to all corners of the lot.

HOYT KNOCKED OUT

The Barons knocked Hoyt out in the seventh, when singles by Ponder, Coombs, Ellis and Clark and doubles by Webb and Southworth gave the Barons five runs and dispelled any doubt as to the winner. Ponder, who had singled, and Johnston, who had walked, loped home in front of Coombs, when Coombs put one into the bleachers in the eighth, good for circuit tour
 The Chicks got flying start in the second game. Trieste walked to open the game. Dobard singled, Manda sacri- ficed and Bratchi tripled to the left field, scoring Priest and Dobard. That was the end of Black. Wick, the first man facing Johnson, doubled, scoring Bratchi and Wick, who went to third on an out scored on a passed ball.
 From the first on the Chicks hammered on Johnson, scoring two in the third one in the fourth, when Barger hit a homer over the right field wall and three in the seventh until Ellis left cen- ter field to become pitcher
 BILL WEBB TRIPLES
 The first hit of Barger came in the fourth. when Webb tripled and scored on Johnsons sacrifice fly.

BAKERS WARNED
TO GET LICENSES

PHOENIX, Dec. 28.-A warning was
issued today from the office of the
federal food administrator for Arizona
to all hotels and restaurants serving
bread or other bakery products of their
own baking that they come within the
scope of the presidents proclamation
requiring that all concerns using ten
or more barrels of flour month apply
for government license. In this con-
nection it was pointed out that there
is hardly hotel or restaurant in the
state that handles its own baking that
does not consume this amount of flour.
Through the cooperation of M. T.
Grier, chairman of the hotel and res
taurant mems committee for the state,
Timothy A. Riordan, federal food ad-
ministrator for Arizona, is planning
to secure the rigid observance of the
license program which became effec-
tive December TO- The presidents
proclamation makes clear it's applica-
tion in the following terms:
Cali persons, firms, corporations and
associations, who manufacture for
sale bread in any form, cake, crackers,
biscuits, pastry or other bakery pro-
ducts excepting, however, those
whose consumption of any flour and
meal in the manufacture of such pro-
ducts is, in the aggregate, less than
ten barrels month";, are hereby re-
quired to procure a license on or be-
fore December 10, 1917. This includes
hotels, restaurants, other public eat
ing places, and clubs, who serve
bread or other bakery products of
their own baking"
Application for license must be made
to the United States food administra-
ton, Washington, D. G., Law Depart
ment-License Division, on forms pre-
pared by it for that purpose, which
may be obtained on request.

said calmly. "This is it," He picked
up another pail of water and sloshed it
upon the wet floor to rinse off the mud.
'Is-ah-Mrs. Meilke in?" One could
not accuse the young man Of craning,
but he certainly did try to get another
glimpse Of the person on the table and
failed because of Ward.
"She's down in the meadow" Billy
Louise murmured.
"She's down in the meadow" Ward
repeated to the bespattered young man.
"You just go down past the stable and
follow on down. he waved hand
vaguely before he took up the broom

added encouragingly.
"Oh, Ward! That must be Marthy's

"In that case the young man is well
come as a gold mine. Here they come
he and Mrs. Martha. You'll have to
introduce me; / have never met the
lady" Ward hastily returned the mop
to its corner, rolled down his sleeves
and picked up his gloves. Then he
stepped outside and waited beside Billy
Louise, looking not in the least like
man who has just wiped lot of dishes
and scrubbed a floor.
The nephew, striding along behind
Marthy and showing head and shoul-
ders above her, seemed not to resent
any little mischance, such as muddy
water firted upon him from broom.
He grinned reminiscently as he came
up, shook hands with the two of them
and did not let his glance dwell too
long or too often upon Billy Louise nor
too briefly upon Ward.
When Ward went to the stable after
Blue half an hour later Charlie Fox
went with him. His manner when they
were alone WAS QlucI0uI, uOL So cAuU-
erantly cheerful-more frank and prac-

Honest, it floored me completely to
see what that poor old woman has been
up against down here" he told Warren,
stufing tobacco into silver trimmed
briar pipe while Ward saddled Blue.
'I don't know a deuce of lot about
this ranch game, but if that old lady
can put it across I guess 1 can wabble
along somehow. Too bad the old man
cashed in just now, but Aunt Martha
as good as told me he wasn't much
force, so maybe can play lone hand
here as easy as could have done with
him."
Afterward, when Ward thought it
over, he remembered gratefully that
Charlie Fox had refrained from at
tempting any discussion Of Billy Louise
or from asking any questions even re-
motely personal. He knew enough about
men to appreciate the tactful silences
of the stranger, and when Billy Louise
on the way home predicted that the
nephew was going to be a success Ward
did not feel like qualifying the verdict.

SAMPLING METHODS ARE
SHOWN AND CORRECTED


Prospectors Usually Deceive Them
selves on Ore Values.
Probably no work which a pros
pector has to do is more liable to
error than the methods of sampling
An error in sampling not only de-
ceives the owner of the property as
to its value, but often causes large
expenditure of money. 1t was with
the idea of correcting and standardiz-
ing these methods that the sampling

George R. Fansett, mining engineer of
the Arizona State Bureau of Mines.
Bulletin No. 81, Sampling Series No.

of Gold in Placer Deposits" goes into
considerable detail of the estimation
of the gold present and recoverable.
The bulletin indicates and describes
the best methods in use and also is
intended to initiate the layman into
methods of correct sampling.

is entitled, "The Sampling of Dumps
and Tailings Heaps" Many things
