BASEBALL

The South Saltwater baseball team,
who were greatly strengthened by several
semi-professional players, came near to
meeting their waterloo" Saturday, Octo-
Der 1, at the hands of the locals, for it was
anybodys game until the last out was made
in the ninth frame and when this was
done the visitors were leading by a score
of to 7. The local rooters pulled hard
in the last round for the score that would
tie up the game and to this end they acme
near to being successful. But alas! they
saw their favorites go down to defeat on
some "boneheaded" base running, which
was perhaps, caused by their over
anxiousness to score. Bon, the first man
up in the ninth frame, layed one down
along the third base line and he beat it
out for hit. Although, Anderson made
beautiful running pickup Of the ball and
his throw to first was perfect but it ar
rived there a fraction of second too late.
While Yves was batting, Bon on an at
tempted theft of second, was given free
transportation to third on Johnson's wild
throw to that corner, the ball going wild
to centerfeld. Bon not being content with
his gift, undertook to score which resulted
in his being thrown out at the plate, c.
Beberg to Johnson. Yves struck at three
balls, but by johnson dropping the third
strike, the out was obliged to be made at
first base. Bon could have scored while
this out was being made or in preventing
Bon from scoring, Yves could have got
safely on the runway and with Bon still
on third he could have gone to. second

ABBOTT'S HARBOR

There are not many people when at
dinner who stop to think of the romance
and the tragedy connected with nearly
every article of food. The next time cod
fish is served on. your table recall this
story.
Joseph d'Entremont is the captain of
twenty ton fishing vessel, which for eight
or nine months each year sails from one of
the three small wharves on small inlet
of the Atlantic Ocean on the southern
coast of Nova Scotia. Joseph's ancestors
were French Acadians. Joseph's native
tongue is French, but he speaks broken
English. With crew of nine men he
fares forth each Monday or Tuesday
southwark into the foggy Atlantic some
fifty or sixty miles. With just enough
sails, or with his gasoline engine running
sufficiently to move the vessel slowly the
boat coasts over banks where the cod are
found. Joseph is at the wheel, sometimes
from five in the morning till ten at night,
while his crew is dropping lines and
hooks baited with herring into the deep
water. The cod are pulled on board
usually two at time, and the hard work
goes on till twenty or twenty-five thou
sand pounds of fish are brought aboard.
The fish are cleaned and then are thrown
into the hold where they are chilled with
ice.
During the night the vessel keeps its
position on the banks. The night as well
as the day is full of danger. Fishing
crafts are often run down in the fog by
ocean liners. Storms, snow, ice, rain, cold,
hard work, the stuay sleeping quarters, and
the rough food make the cod fsherman's
life most laborious and dangerous.
In four or FIVE days ,d'Entremont has
filled the hold of his vessel with fish, and

with no opposition. Then moment later
both runners could have scored on Sher's
two-bagger and winning the game. How
ever, Bon and Yves had been retired be-
fore Sher made his double and a moment
later Sher was thrown out at third on an
attempted theft, Johnson to Anderson and
ending the game.
The game was filled chuck full of ex-
citement all the way and before it was
over the locals had driven two of the
visitors twirlers from the mound and was
leading in the game when Goulette went
into the box. He proved to be able to
hold the local warriors at bay while his
teammates batted out vistory for him.
Nell was on the mound for the locals
and at times was a little wild. He passed
four men on balls and two of them de-
veloped into scores, figuring very promi-
nently in his defeat. Another item he did
not take into account was the hard and
sure hitting of the emi-professional
players who faced him. Anderson, who
has been holding down regular birth
with Winnipeg in the Northern League,
made three doubles out of four times up,
and P. Byers, who has been doing the
backstop work for Hibbing in the Iron
range League, smashed out two singles
and triple out of five times up, driving
in two scores ahead of him and scoring
twice himself. But it was his brother, S.
Byers, who has played nothing but "barn-
yard" ball all summer, who was the star
batter of the day. Out of FIVE times up
he smashed out two three-baggers, single
and was passed once on balls. His second
two-bagger drove in two runs, thus giving
him by far the honors of the day in
batting.
Sher made beautiful running catch
out in right garden that prevented the
visitors from scoring in the ninth round
and Myers in the seventh frame picked
up hot grounder, tagged out runner
on the baseline and then tossed out the
batter at first completing double play.
Bon made four outs. in the centerfeld
while Bur went hungry for an out in left
field. Plenty of hits went to the left field
but they were all of the variety that were
safties.

with glad hearts the boat is turned home
ward, and the little craft is made fast to
the wharf at Abbott's Harbor. The fish
are brought out of the hold and piled
upon the dock. They are purchased at
the wharf by agents of large packing con-
Germs or by individuals of the community.
Adolph American, relative of d'Entre-
mont purchases his cargo today, and sets
his workers to caring for the fish. One
man cuts off the head; another splits open
the fish and with two strokes gets rid of
the backbone; another man scrapes off the
dark skin inside the fish just back of the
gills, and having washed the fish, places
it in large tub of brine. The cod are
left in the heavy brine from ten to fifteen
days.
Monsieur American then takes the cod
cut of the brine and French girls remove
the skin and the remaining bones. The
fish next are placed on racks out-of-doors
to dry in the air and sun. They must be
taken in at night. After two or three
days of drying, they are packed in boxes,
thirty pounds in box and shipped to
Boston.
Here they are sold to packers who make
them up in packages, or who put them
through shredders and place the fish on
the market as desiccated cod.
Captain d'Entremont sells his fish at two
cents pound to Monsieur American, who
obtains fifteen cents pound in Boston.
However, cod weighing ten pounds
caught by the captain does not produce
more than two and half pounds of the
fish which reaches our tables. From the
time that fish is taken from the ocean
until it is ready to be eaten as salted cod
fish, at least six weeks, and more often
six months, have passed, and it has been
handled by at least score of workmen.
Abbott's Harbor is one only of the many
places along the coast of the north Atlantic
from which men go forth in toll and dan
ger to enrich the menus of our tables.
Each week they leave their wives and
children OF risk the dangers of the sea,
sometimes they do not return. The fisher
man becomes old prematurely. He never
becomes wealthy. His life is ever in jeo-
pardy. He is the faithful servant of the
multitudes who often thoughtlessly are
enriched by his tolls and sorrows.-Ex.

It frequently happens, in wreck at sea,
that lives are lost because of some mishap
in lowering the lifeboat from the ships
deck. These accidents have resulted from
the tackle on the davits not working, either
causing the boats to be tipped end up, or
TO be smashed against the side of the sink
ing vessel, precipitating the occupants into
the water. A Dutch engineer has now de-
vised what he considers an unsinkable

and crew having entered the boat the top
is sealed, making water-tight craft, and
the boat is then pushed off the sinking
ships deck, by means of a chute, which
causes it to dive into the water some dis
tance away from the vessel. OF course,
the passengers are strapped into their
seats. The boat comes to the surface right
side uppermost and the top is then opened
up, the boat appearing just as any other
lifeboat.

ANCIENT CITY LOCATED.
Mexican Government Uncovers
Buried Temples and Streets.

A city which at the height of
it's power some 1000 years ago
boasted a population of more
than 100000 is being uncovered
at San Juan de Teotihuacan, Mex
leo. The Mexican government
has appropriated funds for the
work of excavation, which is in
charge of a director of the de-
partment of agriculture. The
government hopes to make the
spot one of the show places of
Mexico.
Dominating the area are two
huge pyramids, one to the sun
and one to the moon, which for
centuries have detied the efforts

The pyramid to the sun measures

feet high. The other is slightly
smaller, and each is apparently
made of solid rock, with no inte-

irgs have frescoes now as intact

city was destroyed by one of the

that the lava inundated the city.
