lions CHAMPS
AT San BENITO
Stellar Work of I'm.
pire Proves Fea-
ture of Game

ISpecIal to Inc herald
HARLINGEN, May 12.-ln spite Of
the stellar work Of Bill McElwain,
the umpire, the Rotarians failed to
defeat the famous Lions baseball
club here Friday afternoon, and the
Lions remain undefeated after lay
ing three games. They are looking
for more victims, and may invade
other towns.
Most OF the Rotarians could hard
" move Saturday, as the game was
their first in a year.
The umpire, on account Of his
huge size, was able 10 handle the
game as other umpires would really
like 10 do. that is, 70 favor his
friends on every occasion. Once in
a while he called a strike on a Rc-
tsry batter. explaining that IL was
necessary to do il occasionally.
In the sixth the Rotarians saw
victory coming their way. Tie Lions
had run up five runs in the first
inning, and added another in the
sixth. But in that inning the Rota-
rians made four runs, leaving the
score 6 to 4. 1t looked like Ira
Baize, the Lions pitcher. was weak
ening.
At this juncture the Lions wanted
to stop the game. But the Rota-
rians. sore as they were, declared
that they wanted to keep on playing.
So the game went nine innings. and
the Lions made three more runs,
the Rotarians, none, and the final
score was 3 &c 4.
Baize pitched the entire game for
the Lions, with Or. McClenathan
catching. Johnny Sanders and Jack
Piekens pitched for the Rotarians,
and W. o. Liston caught.

But hearken to what Minnesota does.
That State now produces three and one.
half times as much butter as all the IL
Southern States. for all the increase
they have shown in recent years. Min
ncSota now produces twice as much
butter as the Northeastern States pro-
duced 20 years ago and over seven
times as much as they now produce,
Minnesota creamery butter production
doubled from 1904 to 1920 and has dou-
bled again since the last-named year.
Wisconsin now produces about the
same amount OF creamery butter as
Iowa. says DIR. Larson. but Minnesota
produces l0o.o00.000 pounds more than
either Wisconsin or Iowa. Wisconsin
has doubled her production In 90 years:
Iowa has increased two and a half
times. while Minnesota has increased
four and half times.
Big butter-and-egg men who make
an impression when they visit Eastern
cities from now on viii probably be
those who register from somewhere in
Minnesota.
And, to return to statistics or COM
parsons. II Is to be noted that the
States OF Minnesota, Wisconsin and
Iowa now produce more creamery butter
than was produced In the whole United
States 20 years ago.
One OF the new things which the Fed
eral Bureau Of Dairy Industry Is now
doing Is to provide service for dairy
farmers DESTROYS of using effective and
economical steriligers for dairy utensils
The bureau announces that ii Is now
In position TO furnish dairy farmers
with blue prints for the construction of
the particular type of steriizer which
will meet their special needs and which
can be constructed at minimum cost.
