We will report the yield per acre and want to know the yield, and will consider it a favor if those who thresh would let us know their acreage and yield.

Judging by the reports of the press the Bull Moosers are quite numerous. We have a few in these parts and more are in of developement. We will see presently if they have the fighting ability and the staying qualities of the Bull Moose. The Riverside Regulars defeated a combination nine composed of Hank’s Wonders and Wheatfield Regulars and Juniors to the tune of 8 to 5 in the presence of the hostile crowd of rooters. Our boys showed them on their own diamonds that they didn’t know the first principles of baseball. They showed to the crowd that they are the coming nine of the county; the only nine that doesn’t get the yellow streak and fill up their ranks with imported players. Let our boys have half the practice that some of the nines have had and they would sweep old Jasper with the broom of defeat. They would stand alone on the summit of baseballdom.
