In Bismarck 81 hundredths of an

IN CALIFORNIA

California, the home of Naur;ce Nc
Laughlin, William Johnson, May Sui,
ton Bundy and many other tennis
stars, has produced yOungste: who
may be as great as any of the others.
In recent matches on the coast the
old timers were surprised to find a
youngster, called "Eabe' Batkin, was
eliminating player after player in SEN
sational style.
In the semi-fnals he easily defeat
cd Van Dyke Johns, who defeated
Johnson last year. This caused the
galleries to pay particular attention
to the youth.
In the finals he was matched against
Willis Davis, National Clay Court

upset the dope by defeating the cham

At Napoleon and jamestown a fifth
of an inch fell, and north of Bis
marck it is believed the precipitation
was general.
The rain was of ineStimable value
to late flax, corn. potatoes and garden
truck At Garrison, plans for big
potato elevator had been practically
abandoned because Of promised
crop shortage. 1t is probable, provid-
ing Garrison enjoyed some of last
nights showers, that renewed interest
will be exhibited in this enterprise.
Many Crops Helped.
Corn, even without rain, has been
doing unusually we'll with the return
of hot weather. Flax was badly in
need of rain, and in this section will
enjoy an extraordinary advance. Po-
tatoes, while many to a hill, had not
been developing properly, and last
nights rain will give them a boost.
Late oats will profit from the oppor-
tune moisture. Old Neptune came to
bat with pinch hit which gives the
producers league another home run.

BATTERS DON'T START RIGHT
Modern Hitters Do Not Get Away
From Plate Fast Enough, Says
Billy Keller, Old Timer.

Billy Keller, who surely knew some.
thing about batting, says that the mod.
ern hitters do not get away fast
enough from the plate, and seem to
lose speed on the way to first.
"There were lots Of players in my
time," said Billy, "who could beat out
any grounder that took more than one
hop. Infielders to get these fellows,
had to come in fast, pick up the ball
without one hesitating move and send
it to first without stopping to take aim.
In those days we chopped sharply ut
the ball and then went to first without
stopping to see'where the ball was 80.

SQUEEZE PLAY TRIED
Yankees and Red Sox Used It to

Taps Ball on Ground.

The New York Americans have used
the squeeze play with good success
this season, and so have the Boston
Red Sox. It is tough job to stop this
play if the man at bat is a capable
bunter. Unless the pitcher or catcher
can foretell that the play is to be at
tempted there is practically no defense
against it If the batter taps the ball
anywhere on the ground.
McGraw does not like the play and
rarely uses it. If the catcher calls for
a pitch out he can Of course make the
man coming in look bad. He is caught
half way down the base line and Is an
easy victim. McGraw figures If the
play goes wrong he sacrifices man at
third, who might be brought in with a
hit or sacrifice fly. -: r ~
The Yanks, however, met their big
success with it by the daring way they,
used it, especially against johnson.
They practically beat Johnson In two
games by this play. Johnson is not the
easiest man to bunt against, but with
all his speed he could not check the
play even when it was right In front
of him. 49,
