TRIPLE PLAY COT ST. JOE’S HOPES

College Lads in Lead When Sensational Play Occurs—dark Allowed Only One Hit. An ideal day greeted the St. Joe college and Rensselaer Athletics ball teams Sunday and the good sized crowd of fans witnessed the most spectacular game of the season. It was a contest between “Lefty” Clark, of the Athletics, and RiJfty, of St. Joe, and Clark had considerable the best of it, allowing only one safe hit and not giving a base on balls. Rixey was touched up for six safeties, one of them a two-bagger and gave two passes and it was the combination of these in the sixth inning that gave the Athletics their two tallies. St. Joe scored in their half of the third inning, three errors making this possible and with none out and a man on second and another on third they had an advantage that was very threatening when Joe Elder, star left gardener, made a sensational catch of a line drive and made a triple play by returning the ball to Morgan at third and Parks at second. This cut short the bright hopes of the collegians and after only one man reached first and he was nipped at second when he tried to steal, Wilcox making a perfect, peg and Parks accepting the throw and tagging his man three feet from the bag. Clark had everything that is needed by a pitcher. His control was perfect his mixtures well selected and the heavy hitting college lads whiffed the air fifteen times. Ricks was the only one who failed to strike out. Scheliriger was first up in the third frame and he lifted a little .fly bunt, which Morgan tried to get on the pick up and failed, letting “Schelly” reach first. MoGinty then raised a fly to second, which Harold Clark misjudged and finally dropped. Schelly went to third and MeGinty to seebnd. Ricks then laid an easy grounder to Morgan, whose anxiety to 'throw the ball home led to his making* another error and Schelly scored MeGinty pulling up at third and Ricks at second. Then Ki'hm lined to left and the ball had every appearance pf lighting safely, but Elder on a dead run speared the ball and whipped it to Morgan, doubling MeGinty and Morgan threw to Parks, forcing Ricks and completing a rapid triple that took the danger out of the situation, retired the college lads and apparently took all of their steam, also, as they never threatened after that time. The Athletics went into the sixth inning without scoring. Morgan was first up and*was passed and stole second. Swartzell fanned and then Wilcox lined out a double which scored Morgan. Clark was passed and Wileox was forced when Eldridge hit to Ricks. Elder then made a safe hit and Clark crossed the pan. Harold Clark flew out to center, completing the scoring. Morgan bit safely in, the. seventh and Elder in the eighth, but nothing resulted from it. The game was a clean one in every respect and was brilliant to witness. Another game is to be played next Sunday on the college grounds and a big attendance is expected if the weather remains favorable. The summary: ATHLETICS.

Although completely surprised Hiram entered into the spirit «£*the occasion and helped the guests enjoy themselves. Mr. and Mrs. Ed Smith, of Chicago, were among the guests.

Walt Mason Writes Truths In Rhyme About Procrastination.

Walt Mason, the poet philisopher, never was better than in the following poem: “Some fine morning,” sais Tired Father, “when I have no chores to bother, I will buy some life insurance, so that if I cash my checks, my beloved wife Mi randy will have chunks of boodle handy, so the hungry wolf won’t scare her, and misfortune will not vex.” Poor Tired Father’s kind intention is too excellent to mention, but an auto climbs his person and he gives three whoops and dies; and his wife and kidlets wonder, o’er his coffin, how in thunder they will buy next season’s swatter, when it’s time to swat the flies. Some fine morning we’ll be doing things that now we are eschewing; things we ought to start and finish now, this morning, right away; much, ah much of our sorrow comes from waiting till tomorrow, when we ought to shed our garm.ents.and be cutting ice today. “Some fine morning-,” says the’loafer, “I’ll get busy as a gopher, and the natives all will wonder when on me they east their eyes.” But the morn for which he’s waiting never dawns and he is skating up and down the county poor farm, herding bees and butterflies.

STONE CRUSHER HAD VERY BUSY SEASON

Superintendent W. S. Parks Makes Report- Which Shows That , the Crusher is a Good Thihg. The county stone crusher, which is located .on the Gangloff farm, just east of town, was closed down about a week ago, after a very successful run, and Superintendent W. S. Parks has furnished the following figures of the work accomplished. To start with some repairs were purchased for tho crusher, probably about $125 worth. This included two new' dies, 2 belts, 2 chains and new boxing in the machine. It was put into perfect condition and is now in the best of ofder. When the rock is passed through the machine it comes out in three sizes, screening, binder and coarse. Only the screening and binder were used and finally only the screenings. In the first run 2,488 yards of screening, and * binder were crushed, an average of about 52% yards being made. Then the screening run was made and 572 yards crushed, an average of 35 yards per day. The total yardage was 3,060, and the average cost about 66 cents a yard. If shipped in it would cost laid down here about $1.25 per yard. The rock has been hauled to various county roads, wherever repairs were needed. The north and south road north of town and the road past the college were each repaired. The crusher ran for 66 days at a daily cost of $30.40, which included the cost of the rock at 7 cents per yard on the basis of 50 yards a day. The crusher has prover# economical, and it might be a good thing if it could be run a longer time each year. Not only is it a good thing from the standpoint -of economy, but the money spent for the rock, the crushing and the hauling, is all spent right here at home and a payroll of $30.40 per day is a good thing for the community. If sent away for the rock the money never gets into circulation here. Figuring the total cost of the crushed rock, the hauling and the crusher repairs, only abo,ut $4,000 was spent, possibly somewhat lass than that, and the rock has been distributed over many of the county roads in this commissioner’s district. The commissioners of the other districts had to ship the rock in for repairs.
