FREAKIEST PLAY OF SEASON
Umpire Allows Runner to Score Who
Left Base Before Fly Ball
Had Been Caught.

Del Howard, manager Of Oakland,
CAL, team, tells of the freaksest play
that has happened in the Coast league
this season.
The Oaks were playing Seattle on
the latter's field. Casey was umpir-
ing the bases and Jimmy Toman han
died the balls and strikes.
Jack knight of the Oaks was on
first base when Pop Arlett hit 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 bali hit the
players dugout or bats.
Casey reversed his decision and the
run counted. Then ensued a 10-min-
ute argument.

any mistakes. For 1t embodies the
latest ideas In barn building. Sub
stantially built, efficiently designed
and completely equipped with the most
modern dairy barn equipment, IT Is a
structure that will reflect credit on
any up-to-date progressive farm estab-
lishment.
Built with the well-known gambrel
type Of roof, this dairy barn Is frame,
set on stout concrete foundation.
BY the use of the plank frame type
of construction, ample storage space
has been provided In the large hay
NOW above.
One Of the attractive features OF
this barn is the splendid silo supple
ment provided in the form Of two
large vitrified tile silos. They are IA
feet In diameter and connected with
the feed room. This feed room is
splendidly arranged for the storage Of
feed and conveniently close to the
stalls 80 that extra work and hauling
are eliminated. Bins for grain have
been built In the upper part Of the
feed room.
Leading from this feed room is the
main central feed alley, on either side
of which are the COW stalls, ten on
each side. They are equipped with
the most modern, sanitary and hui
name stall partitions, stanchions,
hangers and drinking cups. Every
convenience that will help to increase
the productivity Of the COW has been
installed. Some will argue this is tre-
mendously expensive. When the ul-
Innate return is considered. this equip
ment turns out to be the most eco
nomical.
A feed carrier track Is located over
this feed alley and enables the hired
man to haul the grain via carriers to
each stall with great speed and ease.
Similarly, in back Of each stall over
the litter alleys. are litter carrier
tracks to carry the manure to the adj
Joining manure pit. Thus the old

IN TIGHT CORNER
Trapper Tells How II Feels to Be
Trapped.
Bear Hunter Experienced uneomfort-
able Night In Snare He Had Pre-
pared for Ferocious Old Grizzly.

@Old Nose" was one of the most feA
rocioas bears in the Rockies. He was
q notorious bad actor" according to
Mr.. A. l.. Corson in the Wide World
Magazine, and fooled all attempts to
shoot or trap him. Indeed, he seemed
to have a charmed life.
On one occasion a man named Ham
cock tried to trap him. In placing
the bait inside the trap. Hancock &C
cidentally touched the trigger, and the
logs came down and imprisoned him.
He tried to pry the heavy timbers
apart, but found that he could not
shift them an inch. From one side OK
the trap to the other he went, uncon-
sciousiy initiating the movements
Bruin would have made In hunting
for weak point. All his efforts were
fruitless.
The pangs of hunger were now COM
ing on, and night was near. Hancock
scraped UP some chips and twigs, made
a fire and roasted part of the deer
that he had brought to bait the trap
with. Being lightly dressed, he suf-
fered keenly from the cold night air.
He lay down on the ground, but sud-
denly he heard shifting sounds OUT
side and detected, by the dim light OF
the moon, dark form gazing through
the chinks between the logs. Hancock
felt safe, although his gun was stand
Ing by tree some distance from the
trap; Mose--for it was no other

Knowing his savage nature, Han
cock withdrew to the other side of the
trap as the big form rose up on his
hind legs. He could feel the bears
hot breath surging through between
the logs upon his face; and, fearing
that the brute would thrust his claws
in, he kept moving from side to side.
Daylight came at last, and Nose
trotted off. Again Hancock built a
FIRE and cooked the rest of the deer
meat. He almost decided to set one
end of the trap on fire and burn his
way out. But what II he were up-
able to control the blaze? If he could
reach his rife, he would be In posi-
ton to shoot his way out, for he had
belt full of cartridges.
His horse tired Of standing round.
had long ago made for home.
The next morning, the neighbors,
seeing Hancock's horse in the yard,
surmised that the "outlaw of the Rock
les" had secured another victim. Sew
eeral cattlemen started out In search
of Hancock In the middle Of the
afternoon they heard shooting. but at
first they could see nothing.
Hancock had torn his shirt into
strips, making rope about 20 feet
long. He had then tied two stones
to string about yard long and fas-
tened one end Of the long line to the
middle. Then he threw the stones
out between the cracks Of his prison
toward the rifle. After two hours
Of practice he was able to drag the
gun within reach. He then tried des-
perately to cut his way out by shoot
ing holes through log about foot
In diameter. Before he got very far
his comrades had located the shots
and released him.

Of the COW stall are calf and bull pens.
also fitted with modern barn fixtures.
Between these pens and row Of
four stock pens Is a cross aisle also
provided with carrier system. These
stock pens have removable partitions
which sllow the farmer to increase
the size at will. Immediately to tho
rear of these pens are large double
sliding doors.
The rear aisle of the barn leads
into the adjoining shed which covers
the manure pit. The carrier track
leads to the pit. This shed Is 81 feet
long and 10 feet wide.
Another Of the important features
of this building is the ventilating sys-
tenn. This consists Of foul-air fues.
installed at various intervals around
the barn to draw Off the foul air. Mod
ern ventilators on the roof provide q
continual source Of fresh air which
is essential for healthy animals ard
profitable production. Lightning rods
placed at intervals along the roof pro-
tect the barn against the fire menace.
Fortified with dairy barn Of this
type, a farmer can consider himself
very fortunate. II will be an. invalu-
able asset because It accomplishes
two important results, increased milk
production and increased satisfaction
among the hired help, which obviously
increases their efficiency.
