ROMAN PROSPEROUS.
SAYS A. l.. MARKHUS
Contractor Predicts Bumper
Crop on Flathead.

1.-The outlook for a bumper crop on
the reservation this year is excellent"
said A. l.. Markhus, "A contractor and
farmer of Roman. who Is at the Flor
encc. Mr.. Markhus has the contract
for grading and travelling Of the Ro-
nan streets :?
Il have 40 acres under cultivation
this year and it is all in wheat. There
is no shortage of labor now, but il
there is any at harvest time, believe
the merchants will aid the farmers in
the harvesting of the crops There is
plenty of moisture in the ground now,
but the farmers are preparing against
a drouth and making application now
for irrigation water.
To Start Grading Soon.
Il am waiting just now with the
work Of grading the streets until the
water pipes have been installed. The
water company is coming along very
rapidly and when the system is fin
ished it will be n big boost for Roman.
The fact that water had to be pur-
chased by the barrel formerly and
hauled about to the consumers. kept n
number Of prospective settlers from
locating in the town. ] think that the
installation Of a water will reap great
benefits for Roman. | expect to be
through with my work on the streets
about the first of May.
Many New Settlers.
4 have noticed recently that there
are a great number of new settlers
coming to the reservation. I know of
some families that have come all the
way from Oklahoma, bringing COM
plete forming outfits with them.
There are also number Of people
from the eastern part Of this state that
are moving in.
"The work Of ballasting the new rail-
road IS still going on and l understand
1t will be completed in about six weeks.
They started work at Dixon and are
little past CharIo now"

Brooklyn Club
Is Sustained
In Protest

President Tener, of the National
League, yesterday sustained the pro-
test of the Brooklyn Club, and the
game between the St. Louis and Brook
lyn teams. played at Brooklyn on June
3, has been stricken from the records
and ordered to be replayed.
In the sixth inning of that game
Baird of St. Louis was on second when
the batsman hit fly to centre. Baird
started with the pitch and had touche d
third base. but when he realized the
possibility Of catch he ran back
toward second. The ball was not
caught and Baird. from a position fif-
teen or twenty feet from shird. cut
across the diamond and scored. Um-
plre Rigler allowed the run on the
ground that the runner was not re-
CURED to touch third base second
time; that he had not run out of line
to avoid being touched and that no
play had been made on him at the
home plate
Quoting Section 13 of Rule Sc, Preei-
dent Tener decided that it clearly ap-
piled in this instance and that when
Baird retraced his steps toward sec
ond he nullified whatever technical
right he had acquired to third. When
he again tried for home he was sad

to touch all bases in order,

Brooklyn S Only Score Comes
as Result of Merkle's
Error
By A. c. Cavagnaro

The Dodgers defence cracked yes
terday and tho Flatbush Fusileers
dropped the first game Of the series
to the leading Chicago Cubs at Ebbets
Field. The score was to /. Chicago
made the most Of the three bobbles by
the Dodgers, who played an uninterest-
ing game before 1000 persons, one Of
the largest crowds seen on the Long
Island battle-ground this year.
Over-anxiousness caused the charg-
ing of an error to Jimmy Johnston in
right field, and Ollie O'Mara. who was
back at third base, was guilty Of a
high and wide throw to Daubert.
O'Mara was also asleep in the ninth
when Deal stole third base. Each of
the six Cub runs materialized after
two men had been retired.
Colby Jack Coombs, ailing with q
sore wrist, twirled for the Dodgers,
and pitched fairly good ball under the
circumstances. He held the Windy
City players to eight hits, Of which
one was q triple and another nome
run. However, when the Brooklyn
players weakened under the strain
Coombs accompanied them.
Hendrix at His Best
Claude Hendrix was at his best for
Chicago and held the slugging
Dodger batters to tour scattered bin
giles. He had the Flatbush men hitting
up pop flies, and the support he re-
ceived was gilt edge. Holfocher killed
off several hits at shortstop. Rollie
Zeider also got into the way of several
hard hit balls. Brooklyn had only one
chance to score, and but for Fred
Merkle's error the Flatbush nine would
not have tailed.
Before the Brooklyn team took an
aeroplane flight the game gave promise
Of establishing record for the fast
est played contest on the grounds this
season. The first five innings were
completed in half an hour, but it took
81 minutes to play the remaining four
innings.
Brooklyn broke into the scoring col
umn in the fifth on Merkle's error.
Zach Wheat nicked Hendrix for the
first Brooklyn hit with a grass cutter
to left neld ana spec TO second on ny
Myers's sacrifice. O'Mara's out chased
Wheat to third. Schmandt was passed
on four pitched balls. On an attempted
double steal, Merkle threw the ball on
the ground to Zeider, allowing Wheat
to score and Schmandt to run safely
back to first base. Brooklyn also got
two men~un base in the sixth and sew
enth, with two out, but Hendrix found
the next batters easy victims.

First Game of a Double

Fred Walker, who pitched Newark to

dropped the first contest to Syracuse,

Laughlin, who pitched for Newark, did
not seem to have anything but a
straight ball, and Patsy Donovan's
crowd hammered his offerings for
eighteen safeties, including FIVE doubles
and triple. Raymond, the Syracuse
centrefelder, led the attack with four
hits in six timeaeup.
In the goodnight taffair there was a
different story to tell. Walker had
everything in the pinches, and, al
though hit safely ten times, he got out
Of every hole than presented itself.
Newark won the game in the seventh
when Ted Gathers doubled, stole third
and crossed the pan with the winning
run on a passed ball. Gathers had his
eye on the ball in this game, getting
three safeties, two doubles and sin.
