Fun on the Farm is an original
way of doing a great many things
which many have known should be
done for long, long time, but no
one ever quite got the idea in shape

is the way John M. Kelley explains
it. That is just what Fun on the
Farm does, but interviewer with fun

KEGS Curves Battle
Hastings Star Batters
Legion Twirler Whiffs Fourteen And
Allows But One Hit In River
Falls Victory At Hastings
VIII Play At Ham
mOnd Sunday

Here's the dirty trick Roy KEGS
played on the famous Hastings,
Mimi, sluggers at the asylu
grounds there last Sunday, when the
River Falls Legion team won a to
G victory:
Struck out fourteen; allowed only
one hit, a scratch single; didn't walk
o. hit batter; only one Hastings
player Cook got beyond first base.
And to further indicate how
measly stingy KEGS was, take this
mans Cooks case. In the sixth,
after Alban and Heisler struck out,
Cook also famed, but Ziebel dropped
the third strike and over-threw first,
allowing Cook the honor of being
first to get to second. And then
KEGS whitfield Kraft, thereby tanning
four men in one inning. Again in the
ninth an overthrow to first let Cook
reach third
KEGS had mighty good support
too, and while he was blanking the
Gophers his teammates came through
with some heavy hitting to bring in
their six tallies. Smuland played a
whale of game in the field and
crossed the plate with three runs.
Next Sunday River Falls will play
against the all-hired team at Ham
mond, and a good exhibition and
much excitement is assured.
The Balsam Lake team played
Beldenville at Ellsworth Sunday,
losing out, 8 to 8, after carrying
comfortable lead up to the last half
of the ninth.

GAMES BIG SUCCESS.
SAYS OLYMPIC HEAD

PARIS. July 25.-Baron Pierre de
Coubertin, president of the Interna-
tional Olympic Committee, who played
so large a part in the modern revival
of the Olympic games, took occasion
last night in speaking at banquet
proffered to the organizers Of the
games by the Swedish Olympic Com
mittee to reply to certain criticisms
that the games are u failure and
should be abandoned.
Never since the renewal of the
Olympic games he said, has such
success been achieved as this year,
not only from the sporting side, but
also from the viewpoint of improve
ment in the state of mind of chauvin-
istic spectators.
Every one will acknowledge that
athletics and other branches of sports
have never risen to such heights in
the history of the world The attn
letes, imbued with spirit of safe and
sane rivalry, acted like gentlemen

His timely hitting has made him

xscond-sacker in the National League.
X X
A squeeze play occurs when there
is a man on third base. The batter
gives sign of bunt toward first base
and the runner starts home as soon
as the pitcher starts to pitch.
The batter must have some sort
of a sign with the runner on third
that he is going to work a squeeze
play. Without sign things could
not work out properly. The ball
should always be bunted so as the
pitcher will not be able to handle it,
because if the pitcher gets his hands
on it he usually is in position to
throw out the man at home and thus
break up the entire object of the
play-to score a run
