When Men Meet Obstacles

Nothing is in greater demand on
the farm than optimism and hope.
Let the season be poor and the
manager become discouraged and
it is a very serious matter. But
regardless of a gloomy outlook if
the manager has hope and is de-
termined he will succeed.
After all most of us are more to
blame for failures and discourage
me2ts in farming than other things
for our state of mind has more to
do with successful farming than
most of us believe. 1t is quite
true that pleasant, hopeful state
of mind does not regulate the sea-
SONS or improve poor marketing
conditions but such a state of mind
will always make the best of op-
portunities and will sooner or later
overcome unfavorable obstacles.
The outlook for prosperous
farming now is encouraging.
Those who think logically and
work diligently doubtless will be
rewarded. Texas Farm & Ranch.

TONNLE MACK made but one prediction
~ this season, and that was that he
wouldn't finish last. And unless the falter-
ing Browns toss off their winding sheets at
an early date it begins to look as If Connie
must have known something AS a rule,
predicting that he will finish as good as
seventh isn't the last word in overbearing
confidence on the part of a manager. But
when Connie made the statement last April
it sounded like boast. For verifcatlon of
this you may recall the Mackan record of
19l6-about as follows:
Won, SO; lost III; percentage, .235
The Mackmen last season finished exactly
forty games back Of Washington in seventh
place.
So when Mack predicted that he would
finish better than last he had this forty
game deficit to figure on. So far he is we'll

SHELTER PLAYS
HERE SUNDAY

Last Sunday was Rays day to be
without ball game, but for next Sun
day the schedule calls for a good
contest between the Smelter and the
Miners. The battery for next Sun
days game has not been selected yet
but Delhi and Tonneman will prob
ably work. The following Sunday
the Mill team will come over for a
game The series is cinched by the
Millers, without doubt, but it is
persistently rumored that Ray will
have a position at the top of the
percentage for the second series. The
Smelter team is also making ar
rangements for few changes for the
better, it is said, and will be contend
ers for the pennant.
The Smelter has not had the best
team possible by a long shot, but for
the last few games they have had as
good a team, perhaps, as their op-
ponents. But regardless of the fact
that they have good team they
seem to be playing in hard luck and
so far have only won one game this
series.

BROMLEY PULLS OUT Of TIGHT
HOLE IN NINTH AND SAVES
GAME FOR RAY. SCORE 3 To |

In q whirlwind finish of the game
between the Millers and the Miners
at Hayden last Wednesday Jack
Bromley, Rays southpaw pitcher,
pulled himself out of bad hole and
saved the game for his team.
The score stood to 1 in favor of
the Mines, and Guest, heavy hitter
for the Millers,l was up. He made
first on a wild throw by Smith. Burch
pinch hitter, was then sent to bat and
knocked out neat single. Stadelli
sacrificed, advancing Guest and Burch
a base. Then the crowd went wild,
for little Johnny Kane stepped up to
the bat and it looked like tied score
at least Kane let two go by, then
met the next one. He only got a
piece of it, however, and the ball
went almost straight up in the air
and was an easy pop-foul for Wachob.
This was the second man down and
there were two on bases and the
heaviest hitters of the Millers at bat.
There was still chance, but Mclean
batted fast grounder to Hosp and
was an easy out at first.
Johnson for the Mill was touched
for 5 hits in the first innings which
coupled along with an error gave the
Miners runs. The rest of the game
be allowed but 2 hits and was never
in trouble. The Millers scored their
lone run when Mclean led off the
eighth with a drive which Tobin, the
Miners left fielder made a great try
for but was unable to get to, the hit
going for three bases. He scored on
McDonnelIs out.
This was one of the best games OF
the season. Johnson and Bromley
both pitched good ball and except for
a couple of errors the boys were well
supported. Hosp played his usual fast
game although he did not do SO well
at the bat. He speared what every
body conceded single, with one
hand, and figured in couple of fast
double plays. Wachob and Tobir
were the hitters of the game Wednes
day, each getting two hits. Smith
Scanlon and DeMaggio each regis
tered one The Millers failed to gel
more than six hits off Bromley anG
they were we'll scattered.
The game by innings is as follows

RED CROSS GETS
600 MEMBERS

During the registration of the
eligibles in Ray Tuesday, and on
Wednesday, the company pay day,
the Red Cross workers were the busi-
est people in town. That they OBJ
tanned results was evidenced by the
large number of citizens wearing the
little button with the red cross. 1t
was conservatively estimated that
there were more than five hundred
new members gained in the two day
campaign. There were some ten or
dozen volunteer workers and they
made it a point to let no one escape
contributing Ito this worthy fund.
There we're also number of the
ladies of the town selling tickets for
the Red Cross play, "The Girl of the
Golden West" which was shown at
the Airdome theater Thursday night.
It is stated that more than four hun
dred admission tickets were sold.
This will increase the treasury fund
of the society to a great extent be-
cause for every ticket sold they will
receive fifty cents.
