Ball Game

The Ball Game Sunday between
Mills and Roy was the best game
ever pulled off on the Roy dia-
mond with any team.
Mills has trained up team
that commands admiration any
where and they surprised Roy
with the most strenuous and
exciting of games.
1t was fast, clean base ball on
both sides and at the end of the
9th inning the score stood 3-3,
the 10th inning was one-two-
three and out on both sides and
in the 18th Roy got a man to Sd
but no further. In the 18th
Mills brought in two runs and
Roy failed to get in any so il
ended 5-3 in Mills favor.
Everybody was delighted with
the game and Roy took her beat.
ing with more pleasure than she
has had out of some victories.
Everybody is glad we can have
real ball games without going
away from home for talent. C.
A. Smith. Mgr. of the Wilson
Co. store pitched for them anC
Professor Porter was the artis
behind the bat who commanded
admiration for his size and look
and good nature.
Another game with Mills i
booked for Sunday, the 21st AM
Lit is a good bet that it will b
worth seeing.

The State Board Of Control

planted will soon be ready for
pasturing. Meanwhile thresh-
ing has been delayed until the
mud dries up.

 The outlook for coal and coal mining. would, indeed, be as dark as is the color of coal itself were it not for two rays of hope. One is that not enough oil can be found in the entire world to enable it to compete in cheapness with coal everywhere. The otheris thatstationary power plants at the mouths of the coal mines can send electric ity out on wires to success fully compete with oil. This might give coal some of the future stationary engine bus mess on land. But oil will still have a monopoly on the sea and in the automobile, the truck and the tractor.
