LAST BALL GAME
OF B & Y LEAGUE
All Teams Have Finished the Schedule
Except the Miller-0nida Protest

The Black and Yellow League Ball
season closed Sunday for all teams ex-
cept the two leaders, Miller and Onida.
They play off a protested game next
Sunday at Onida. The league has
furnished some very good entertain
ment. AT present 0nida is in the lead
OF Miller by one game. If Miller wins
next Sunday the two clubs will be a
tie for league championship honors.
The Onida Waterman, under stress of
imaginary home duty, tries to ridicule
the Miller team for its protest against
the rulings of their specially selected
umpire. But, as the league board of
directors ordered the game played
over and selected two neutral umpires
as arbitrators, it looks very much as If
the colored gentleman in the woodpile
had been discovered behind the
Watchman's smoke screen. AS a mat
ter Of fact the Onida team is too good
to engage in such tactics. 1t hurts
them and the great American game of
base ball. They were very poorly adj
vised by some over-zealous partisan.
Miller and Blunt played a closely
contested game at Blunt Sunday, the
home team winning by a shut out
score of 2 to 0. This is Miller's second
defeat of the season.
st. Lawrence won from Pierre in
another very hard fought game by a
score of 3 TO 2, or their home grounds
which, the fans and players will
thank Providence are to be moved
from the present location to- higher
and better ground.
0nida won from Highmore at the
latter place by s to 3, and the Harold
Rec Heights game was won by Har-
rOld by Is to- s.

Continued From Page 0ne) beavers that they had nearly exter- minated the entire beaver species. Suggest Method.
 These facts may afford us hint. Therefore. let me suggest that it might possible be worth while to try the use of a lure made from the fe- male moth of the boil weevil as a bait for catching males or in leading them to sip poison.
 This possibly might be done with the use of the preparation made from the entire insect or possibly some sort of fluid extract. It might be possible to discover some solvent which would dissolve only the aroma secretions of the female moths, mak- ing fluid extract which could be used to attract the male boil weevil to his destruction.
 Possibly, furthermore, it might be discovered by experiments that the odoriferous substance carried by the female moth or beetle could be made synthetically in any required quan- tity It is probably q variety of dimothylamine.
 Dr. Maxim said in conclusion that means for the application of any such preparation would, of course, neces- sarily have to be worked out.
 Dr. Hutchison suggested in his ad- dress that control of the boil weevil by X-rays stored in chemical salts applied by cohesive mixtures to the squares and bolls of the cotton plants to sterilize the eggs of the insect might be worked out.
 He said that the reason why the boil weevil was so difficult to fight was due to the enormous rate of propa sation of the weevil, more than twelve million being propagated by a single pair in one season. Obviously anything which reduces the rate of reproduction or prevents propagation of the insect should be of great value in controlling the billion dollar lA

 Reviews Road Building
 MT Mcdonald reviewed road build- ing in Alabama, saying that "prior to 1911, when the Alabama highway commission was formed, Alabama spent annually about S100,000 on roads. The first year the state de- partment had only sS7,000, which has since developed into the giant pro- gram of highway construction, which is now in progress"
 MT. Mcdonald added that in 1920 "the value of the agricultural prod ucts of Alabama was five times the combined value of the mines and for ests which insures a large reserve to draw on."
 In the course of his address Mir. Mcdonald rapped the gasoline tax bill passed by the recent legislature, saying: Tt is unfair as it was passed, because it requires the mo- ttrist to pay heavy tax on gasoline and does not require that money to go into the construction of roads, which if done would have made this tax an investment for the motorist."
 Former Senator John H. Bankhead was highly praised by MT. Mcdonald and much credit given to him fer good roads throughout the nation.
 Kellar Tells of Road Work The problems an1 responsibilities of the state highway department were discussed by W. s. Kellar, state highway engineer Ut is most natu- ral,s said MT. Kellar.
