deftly jerked the edge of the bag
up and hooked it over the sharp
horns. Then he turned and ran
with all his strength toward the
fence.
He was already nearly breath
less from his exertions, and he felt
sure that he should collapse before
he reached his goal. But in spite
of his misgivings he gained the
fence. He rolled under the wire
just as four or five of the approach
ing cattle that had given chase
came numbering up.
When Vance drove by to pick
up his tools the next morning, be
found pieces of the torn sack
trampled into the dust as if by a
hundred hoofs. One of the
wrenches he never found.

Lead Pencils

The manufacture of lead pencils
in similar form to the familiar ar
ticle of today dates from a period
Immediately followingthe discovery
of the once famous Borrowdale
mine, in Cumberland, England, in
the year 1854. At much earlier
period metallic lead was used for
marking on parchment, paper or
other material, and it is doubtless
owing to the earlier use of this SUBJ
stance that erroneous term ''black
lead" has been applied to plumba-
60 or graphite, the mark produced
by the latter being much blacker
than that from metallic lead.
The product was so greatly de-
sired, and was so closely main.
tanned as a monopoly, that in pur-
suance of an Act of Parliament the
mouth of the mine was guarded by
an armed force, and to maintain the
monopoly and conserve the supply
the mine was only worked during
six weeks in each year. To prevent
pilfering, the mine was closed by
flooding.
The manufacture of the modern
pencil requires considerable tech
nical knowledge, and involves a
large number of operations. The
graphite is pulverised and mixed
with clay in dry state, then moist
ened and milled to the requisite
fineness. In a plastic condition it is
forced through series of COM
pressors, from the holes of the last
of which it emerges at a slightly
greater thickness allow for
shrinkage- than that ultimately re-
quired. The degrees of hardness
are primarily obtained by varying
theproportionsof of clay andgraphite.

on the play and reaching third on
Leach's single to deep short.
Carey's single to left scored Coop
er and Southworth's single to
center scored Leach.
Boston had 19 men left on bases
and played errorless ball, while
brilliant support saved Mayer in
several innings. Southworth, Ell
lam and Herzog contributed excel
lent fielding plays, ELAN handling
13 chances, Herzog also led in hit
ting, with five in nine times at bat.
Massey of Boston had II put-outs
in center field and Cutshaw of the
Pirates had l6 chances at second
base.
Erskine Mayer was taken out of
the box by Manager Bezdek with
one man gone in the sixteenth in
ming, as he showed signs of tiring
and Cooper finished the game in
masterful shape.
This game was the third 21-in-
ming contest in the National
Leagues history.
On Wednesday, July II of this
year, the Chicago Cubs and the
Philadelphia Nationals played
21-inning game in Chicago.
On Friday, July II, 1914, or
just four years previous. New
York and Pittsburg played a 21-in-
ming game, and the score was 3 to
1, in favor of New York.
But one game to run beyond 21
innings has ever been played in
the National League and in that
one Pittsburg also participated.
This was the game of August %,
1917, when the Pirates we're beaten
by the Brooklyn Dodgers, 6 to 5,
in % innings.
Only once in the entire history
of the national game has the 22-in-
ming record been eclipsed. 1t was
beaten on September /, 1905, when
the Athletics defeated Boston in
24-inning game, the longest ever
played in the major leagues and
which stands today as the
record. Exchange.

Makes Major Record for Score
less Innings

Another 21-inning game, the
second in the National League this
season, Was played at Boston on
August 1 between the Braves and
Pirates, the latter winning by scor-
ing two runs in the first half of the
twenty-frst inning off Art Nehf.
Incidentally, Boston's failure to
score in 21 innings made a new
record in the major leagues. The
previous no-score record was Is
innings.
Nehf pitched the full distance
for Boston, and until the twenty
first held Pittsburg to eight hits.
In the twelfth Pittsburg failed to
work the squeeze play, Southworth
being tagged out at the plate,
on Mollwitz's bunt, Nehf to Will
son. In the second half of that
inning. j. G. Smith .bunted on the
third and Massey, who had been
on third, crossed the plate, but
Umpire Quigley ruled that Smith
had interfered with Catcher
Schmidt's attempt to field the bunt,
and Smith was declared out and
Massey was ordered back to third.
Schmidt opened the twenty first
by singing to left. Cooper, who
relieved Mayer in the sixteenth as
pitcher for Pittsburg, forced
Schmidt at second. Ellam was
thrown out, Cooper taking second

In a town some distance back
from the fighting line in France a
ball game was arranged one Sun
day. With about 500 men to select
from, the promoters managed to
get two pretty good teams togeth-
er. Officers and privates were
among the players. One of the
best players was a captain who
ordinarily is the soul of dignity
and reserve. On the same team
with him was coal-black negro
who used to manage a team of his
own in Mobile, Ala. In view of
the fact that considerable was at
stake it was agreed that all formali-
ties should be put aside and, in
other words, that people should be
called by their first names. There
were no startling familiarities till
the eighth inning, when the captain,
on first base, started for third on a
short hit. The darky was coaching
at third and the run the captain
might get was vital. So as the cap
tain, sprinting as swiftly as he could
toward third the darky was shout
ing: Come on there, you kid!
Come on, come Oh" Just at
that moment the captain tripped.
The negro, gathering the full pow
er of his lungs, yelled: Come on,
you; come on, you big stiff, you
mud hen; what are we payin' you
for?" Out of the dust cloud rolled
the captain, safe at third. He put
up his hand to call the game for a
moment. Then, painting for suf-
fcient breath for the Brobdingna-
gian utterance he was about to
make, he said to the negro: Jim.

hanging at one side, and it charged
harmlessly by.
Then, as if tired of these futile
attacks, the steer began to paw the
dry turf and to give vent to its
rage in a rumbling below. Vance
look round. but saw little chance
of escape. Moreover, a quarter of
a mile away more cattle were COM
ing in answer to the raucus below
ing of the steer; some of them
we're running. They would add to
the seriousness of his predicament.
IF l only had a rope," he said
to himself, "and could throw it, -
he added, with a grim smile, "I'd
tie the crazy brute to this post and
leave. With nothing but gunny
sack l can't"
He stopped abruptly, and the
light of hope sprang into his eyes.
Slipping to the ground, he started
at once to put his new plan into
action. He advanced cautiously
until he was little more than a
rod from the dangerous brute, and
then held the bag out and shook it
teasingly.
For a moment the steer blinked
it's bloodshot eyes as if it had
failed to comprehend the ahdacious
act of it's puny antagonist; then,
with Kissing snort, it lowered its
head and charged.
Vance knew that false calcula.
tion of a second or of a few inches
on his part might mean his death.
He had watched the steer in it's
prevouis charges, and had noticed
that the animals nose was raised
scarcely two feet from the ground;
also that the beast shut it's eyes
when within six or seven feet of the
object it was attacking. Poising
himself carefully, Vance shook out
the huge open mouth of the bag
and waited.
With a lunge the steer came on.
A rod-ten feet-the distance mar
rowed! In that critical moment
Vance gazed with fascination at
the mottled horns with their gleam-
ing white tips. They were not
long, but curved and sharp.
When the brute was scarcely six
feet away,-two good jumps
Vance stepped quickly to one side.
The open mouth of the bag held by
his outstretched arms, remained
where he had stood an instant be-
fore. He had not moved until the
steer had shut its eyes.
The shock, as the head of the
steer went fairly into the bag. al
most jerked Vance from his feet.
He was dragged along for several
yards. until finally the blindfolded
creature checked it's speed.
Although Vance had lost his
grip on the bag with one hand, he
still clutched it firmly with the 9TH
er; for he saw that unless he quick
ly hooked the sack over both horns
it would slip off.
As the plunging animal came al
most to a standstill, Vance threw
his arm over it's sweating neck and

g&.gy ranch, which covered
half a Texas county. He was a
poor rider, and did not know how
to handle a rope; but he managed
to keep the twenty-five windmills
on the big ranch in running order.
In light blackboard he drove with
his tools from one to the other of
the wells and oiled and repaired
the equipment.
About the middle of July, after
the long summer drought had set
in, the half dozen old wooden
windmills near the southern limits
of the ranch began to give more
trouble than usual. While Vance
worked on that side of the ranch
he staid at night with Tobe Good
son, fence rider, who camped in
a shack near the south-line fence.
One day the pump repairer
found that he would need more
valve feathers and bolts, and the
fence rider suddenly became aware
of the scantiness of his provisions.
The two decided that Tobe should
drive to the home ranch for sup
plies. Vance intended to spend
the day working at two wells near
the line camp.

steers we brought back from Rio
Grande last week are in the Lone
Cedar pasture, and they amt civil
lied. A man growed to a hoss
looks all right to 'em; but when
he's afoot, he looks to 'em like a
varmint."
Vance spent the morning work
ing at the first we'll, and about noon
reached the second. A scorching
wind from the southwest kept the
wheel of the windmill revolving,
but only a tiny stream of water
was running into the circular tank.
A score of lean COWS and their off
spring we're crowding around in a
mad endeavor to get a taste. Most
of them ran away when the man
approached them afoot; but in a
little while they all came back and
watched him expectantly.
Vance saw at once that he had a
bigger job here than he had ex-
pected. Sand had evidently cut
out the plunger leather. Fortu-
nately, this pump had a full-length
working barrel-the pipe above
was of the same size as the cy1in-
der-so that he could withdraw the
plunger without lifting the heavy
pipe from the we'll. It took him
most of the afternoon to get the
plunger repaired and back into its
place. After oiling the windmill,
Vance stood few minutes watch.
ing the steady stream of water that
poured into the tank; then hastily
throwing his tools in a grain bag,
he started for the line camp.
In few minutes he reached the
fence that bounded the Lone Cedar
pasture on the east. There he turn
ed south, keeping within a few
rods of the fence. The Cross-S
ranch was divided into twelve pas
lures, each of which was several
miles square. When he had gone
about mile. he stopped for a few
minutes rest.
"Whew, but Pm tired!" he ex-
claimed, as he leaned against a
fence post and rested one foot on
the lower strand of wire.

The visitors made one run in the

that it appeared they forgot there
ever was such a game as baseball,
but in the eighth they came out of
their trance and recollecting where
they were and what they were do
ing put four runs across before the
locals could check them. Perhaps
the visitors wouldn't have secured
the four runs so easily if the locals
hadn't became over-confident and
began playing slack ball, which
resulted in several costly errors
that gave the visitors two of their
runs and paved the way for the
other two.
The locals made two runs in the
first inning and in the fourth by
good hitting. and a number of bad
errors and bungled-up ball playing
on the part of the visitors, they
put nine runs across the home
plate, and adding one more in the
fifth they secured such a lead that
there wasn't any doubt as to the
outcome.
Peulen pitched the first six in

the last two; Leonard acted as
backstop.

locals and Wells four; Helm
