Work Animals in Demand.

Pennsylvania and the states east
and north do not produce one-fourth
Of the work animals they use and are
constantly drawing on the Central
West for their work stock. Many of
these are farm chunks sold directly
to eastern farms, while others are
horses produced and worked on the
farms Of the Mississippi valley until
five or six years old, then passed to
eastern cities, where after six or eight
years of service they are resold as
sore-footed, city-worn horses to deal
ers, who sell them at a very nominal
figure to farming sections of New Eng
land, to work the balance Of their
days. Such horses represent a COM
plete cycle from farms to cities and
back to farms again. It Is more true
now than in the past, that the good
horse or mule pays profit to the pro-
ducer, the dealer and ultimate user,
while the poor one loses money to all
concerned.-Exchange.

FREAKIEST PLAY OF SEASON

Left Base Before Fly Ball

The Oaks were playing Seattle on
the latter'S field. Casey was umpir-

Jack Knight of the Oaks was on
first base when Pop Arlett hit a fly
to left center Bill Stumpf made a
great catch of it, Knight. who thought
Stumpf couldn't get near the ball,
had passed third base.
Stumpf threw to Kenworthy and the
ball went through his hands, passing
by several other Seattle players. 1t
hit the bats in front of the Oakland
bench and was picked up and thrown
to second before Knight could return.
Umpire Casey ruled him out. Then
Del Howard claimed the runner should
score, as the ground rules allowed the
man to advance if the ball hit the
players dugOut or bats.
Casey reversed his decision and the
run counted. Then ensued a 1O-min-
