THE MORLD OF SPORTS.

.1sfbe final curtain dropped in the
Virginia League yesterday for the
1921 season, and the most unsatls-
factory year in the history OF base
hall in so far as the Virginia League
is concerned came to a final close.
The daily times., 1921-10-04

Anyhow it is all over now and
wears hence when we look back upon
it we will forget many OF the un-
favorable things and remember most
Of the favorable ones. We will re-
member for a long time, however,
the raw deal that the two North
Carolina towns received.

Yesterdays game was more of a
farce than a game. Rocky Mount had
everything her way from the first
inning on, and as the thing was un-
folded the agony grew. The boys
simply had an off day and Rocky Mt,
had one on. 1t was not the error of
commission either that spelt de-
feat; it was failure to do the right
over now and it hasn't been so bad
after all. It has been a great year
when considered in the light of base
ball played on the field.

head was sent back by Rocky Mount
and right well did he account for
himself in the box, He walked but
one man. famed one, and hit one,
but A1e allowed only six widely scat
Tered hits. Only two of the six came
in the same inning and these fell in
the eighth They amounted to moth
ing, however, for we never really
threatened the home base 1t was
simply one of those games in which
the opening pitcher had everything
and he used it unmercifully.
The daily times., 1921-10-04

Conjecture is rife on all sides as
to the probable winner. Most people
have picked the Giants to win, and
yet sight cannot be lost of the terrific
hitting ability of the Yankees. We
predict that it is going to be a mighty
warmly contested battle from the
very first day. An Interesting feature
OF the series will be that the entire
battle will be waged on the grounds
that both teams are use to. Both have
used the Polo Grounds all season.
and thus neither has an advantage
in this particular.

clothes securing a total of nineteen
safeties. Kelliher and Champagne Sc
cured doubles, Curry, Kelliher and
Corcoran secured triples, and Stein
team was credited with an error but
several should have been marked
against the Bugs. Their slips were of
the kind that the scorer has no mark
for.

The daily times., 1921-10-04

With the ending of the Virginia
League season, and our post season
series, fans will turn eagerly to the
worlds classic that begins in New
York tomorrow,

For Wilson the fielding of Martin
and Walker could be mentioned in
the stellar role, while that of Curry
simply glowed in comparison to that
done by any other for Rocky Mount.
The daily times., 1921-10-04

During the entire series the fielding
Of Curry has been exceptional. He
has cut off hit after hit that should
have gone safe. In fact he has been
directly responsible for our failure to
secure a number of runs that should
have been chalked up on the right
side of the ledger. But for that mat
ter the entire team representing our
sister city has played jam up good
game, and has been in there hustling
every minute of the time.

GEYSER FORMS AT
AT STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

Belief of old western Nevadans that
the hot springs at Steamboat would
some day develop geyser of the old
Faithful variety was partially con-
firmed this week when one of the
streams coming from the ground at
the springs spouted 20 feet into the
air and continued as a geyser since
that time Other springs nearby have
also been active for the past few days,
says the Gazette.
Water has been scarce at Steam
boat springs for the past few months,
and although there has been sufficient
for the baths there has not been a
surplus. The flow of steam and wa
ter coming from the springs in the
past 46 hours is said to be the great
est seen for many years. The springs
heretofore have only spouted few
feet into the air.

MILLS ARE BUSY
AT SILVER CITY

According to the Nevada Mining
Press, mining operations continue al
Silver City. Lessees on the Silver
Hill have just completed run ol
$50 tons, the value of which from al
indications, will make it the best run
taken out in months. The mine is
looking very favorable at this time
with numerous faces of ore exposed
and work will be started Immediately
to secure another mill run.
Murphy and Byers have just COM
p1eted 250-ton mill run of the usual
high grade character from their claim,
the Smith, and for several days the
stamps have been dropping in two
mills. Throughout the camp there
are signs of renewed activity and the
dreams of years of a"boom in the
spring are fast becoming reality

STEADY IMPROVEMENT
BUT NO BOOM

Visitors to Virginia City expecting
to find full heged mining boom on
are naturally disappointed, for the re-
vival here is taking on no such char
acteristics, and is not likely to.
The mining projects are only in the
first stages of their development, but
with increasing activities there is
coming strengthening of the bust
ness and the general situation of the
camp, which is bound to attain a
most substantial growth in every par
sicu1ar. There are probably between
four and five hundred unemployed
at the various mines at the present
time. Virginia City is on the up
grade, the foundations now being laid
for a prosperity that promises to
spread over long term Of years.

The Coal Valley Mines
(From the Yerington Times)


Mr.. E. B. Smith and Nj. R. Ian
caster, with the Western Coal & Oil
Company, accompanied by Mrs. Ian
caster were registered at the Brooks
Hotel.
They have on exhibition samples Of
diatomaceous and other material indica-
ting many probable sources of profit
The surface of the section furnishes
its own encouragement to the pros
pector.
The coal samples taken the last few
days show remarkable quality for the
depth so far attained. The oil features
and prospects have been represented
to Bakersfield producing oil concern
who are sending UP engineers within
the next few days to look the property
over, and if satisfied will very soon
be installing standard rig for deep
oil prospecting.
Mr.. Smith and Mr.. Lancaster were
accompanied by Mr.. James Toman,

years been employed in exporting and
operating coal mines in various parts
of the world, and who pronounced this
prospect for the area, the equal OF any

hibit samples and photographs to give
the public an idea of what to expect
from this section later.

that the people of the kingdom were

AN ENvIABLE RECORD

The beet sugar industry has gone
through the readjustment period and
:ome out i'll satisfactory manner.
1t is to the lasting credit of the
sugar companies that they were able
to carry out their contracts for the
highest beet prices on record when
sugar dropped to pre-war prices over
night. 1t was the stability and busi-
ness management of these companies
that enabled them to keep their con-
tracts and thus prevent ruin for the
thousands of farmers
Judging from the manner in which
farmers have signed up the new beet
contracts they recognize the value of
guaranteed crop price backed by a
solid industrial organization.
