AS TOLD TO
IMh S.MierTon
BY HUGH JENNINGS.
Manager of tha Detroit Tlgera, Whs
aa 8hortatop for tha Baltimora
Champions, Waa Considered Ona
f the Greatest af Players.
It Is a pretty hard thing to pick the
greatest play a man ever saw, espe
cially after taking part in and seeing
perhaps 2,500 games of ball with per
haps three or four great plays in each
but the one I always recall as tha
greatest, the one that even now stirs
my nerves to recall, is the one that
Blllia Keeler made in Washington hi
1895, when he and I were playing to
gether on the Baltimore Orioles.
The game was close and we neeaV
a games because Boston was giving
us a hard fight for the pennant. We
had the game won by one run la tha
ninth inning. In those days the Wash
ington, club, although a tail-ender, al
ways gave us the fiercest fight of any
of the clubs, tha natural rivalry be
tween the two cities stirring them up
to fight us to a finish.
In that ninth inning a runner waa
"on third and two were out. Bucky
Freeman hit the ball on a line toward
the right field bleachers, and hit It
ao hard that at the crack of the bat
It sounded to me like a home run
another victory for Washington and
second place for the Orioles. The
right field bleachers had a low fence
In front of them and over the top of
this fence they had strung barbed
wire to keep the crowd from climbing
over onto the field. The ball that
Freeman hit was going on a line
straight for the wire barrier. At the
crack of the bat Keeler started to
ward the bleachers and tore across at
terrific speed. No other outfielder
could have covered the distance. With
out stopping or hesitating he leaped
for that ball with his ungloved hand,
shoved his arm between the two top

strands of wire, and caught the ball.
The force of his contact with the wlra
was so great that he was hurled back
toward the field, and the wires ripped
gashes along his arm, but in spite of
the shock and tha lacerated hand and
arm, he held the ball and saved tha
day for the Orioles.
There is one other play that I rst
call which I consider one of the great
est ever made by any ball player. It
was made by Herman Long, the fa
mous short stop of Boston, and It
ahowed his wonderful quickness of
Bind, as well aa of hands and feet
There waa a runner on first base,
and one man waa out when the ball
waa hit hard, straight toward second
base. It looked to be a sure base hit
Not one fielder in a hundred could
have touched it, but Herman, starting
as the ball waa hit, managed to block
It and check its force with his gloved
hand. In the effort he fell. Had ha
attempted to reach for the ball with
his hand again, or tried to get to his
feet, he would have been too late to
make a play. Like a flash he atruck
out with hla foot, kicked the ball
squarely into Lowe's hanaa and forced
the runner by a few lnchee.
Cepytight, an, by W. o. Caafai)
MrtttMgttMittiiiiM
Two weeks ago we told a sad, sad
story. But that story was like a sil
ver jubilee compared with what we
would relate this week, if we were
to tell the whole thing, because since
our last issue we have been unable
to count up a single game won by
the Discoverers, the record of the
week reading six straight games lost
The trouble started at Grand Island
last Wednesday. Everybody in Col
umbus, both players and fans, were
rejoicing, over having taken three
straight from the leaders, when with
a rush the tide turned, and since that
time they have not been counted as
winners once. The game that resulted
in a victory for the Islanders, by a
score of nine to four, Columbus get
ting seven hits to Grand Island's six.
More than that, our lads had two er
rors marked against them, while the
Third City bunch drew six black
marks.
Fortunately, Thursday was an open
date, and we are mercifully spared
the agony of reciting the story of a
failure for each of the seven days
in the week.
Friday's game is reported to have
been a pitcher's battle, Kearney get
ting seven hits and Columbus five.
The only time during the entire game
that there was any chance of the lo
cals taking the game being in the
ninth, when Columbus made connec
tions for three hits, yet Kearney made
a triple play and Columbus came up
with one score. Result, Kearney
three, Columbus one.
Twelve to six tells the story of our
defeat Saturday, with the Kapitalists
getting next to seventeen of Weisen
berger's and Paul's curves, while
Trimble allowed Columbus but nine.
AH this despite the fact that Trim
ble allowed four men to walk, to
Paul's one, that Buster Brown got one
of the three home runs, and that Col
umbus got the benefit of the only dou
ble play made that day.
Sunday the boys came home again,
and everybody expected to see a
change, as they were coming to their
own grounds and to play the tail-end-ers.
But the change was not forth
coming for York just jumped right in
and beat them three straight games
on our own field. Still that Sunday
game required ten innings, and the
Tuesday game was not settled until
twelve innings had been pounded out.
The score in the Sunday game was
fire to four, Tuesday it was the same.
Monday, though it was different, the
Prohibs taking everything in sight
and carrying away the game by the
almost unheard-of score of ten to two.
This was one of the worst defeats any
of the teams have suffered on their
own grounds.
Just as we go to press comes the
report of today's game, showing that
Columbus has won the game by a
score of four to three. Gee, but it
seems good to come to a bright spot
after all this darkness. Seward, who
played here, today will remain here
for tomorrow and Friday.
The percentage column this morn
ing shows Columbus in sixth place,
the line-up being as follows:

Grand Island 18 12 600
Superior 16 11 593

"Big Four" Shooting Tournament
Between forty and fifty of the best
shots in the four states Nebraska,
Kansas, Oklahoma and Missouri
were in Columbus last week, having
come here to attend the annual shoot
as guests of the Columbus Gun Club.
As usual, Columbus showed up well
in the events open to amateur shots,
taking second, third, fourth and sixth
in the general average. Gates, who
has been taking good money in every
one of the various events In which he
has taken part during the year, lacked
but one point in three hundred of
making first place in the general aver
age. His loss was in the high wind
of Friday, his work on Saturday being
easily first But the averages were
marked on the work of the two days
and not on that of either day.
The high wind made it very difficult
for the shooters on Friday, all who
attempted anything that day showing
a poor general average. The follow
ing is a table of the general average
for the two days, the markings being
on a basis of a possible three hun
dred: Professionals.

Lover and Husband.
The youth before the maiden bows;
her life he'd like to cherish: he
springs a catalogue of vows for her
he'd gladly perish. Most lovers deal
in vow and sigh, and all kinds of emo
tion, and tell how cheerfully they'd
die to show their deep devotion. Ah.
love, my fellowmen, has wings, and
soars to stellar glories; and maidens,
sweet, romantic things, believe all
kind of stories. They ought to pull the
lid on vows, and interrupt the sigh
ing, and softly say "Nixcumarouse!
What is the use o dying? You say
you love me fifty ways, and I admire
you, fairish, but would it gladden up
my days if you should go and perish?
Get down to large brass tacks, dear
soul, for vows are cheap and spind
ling; will you supply the house with
coal, and pack in all the kindling?
Will you on wash day not repine, or
breathe of fire and slaughter, but help
to hang things on the line, and lug
in tubs of water? And when the
butcher knife is blunt will you be
prompt to sharp it? And will you do
a sweeping stunt and beat the parlor
carpet? And will you set' the table,
dear, while I the meat am frying?
Now, make your attitude quite clear,
and can this talk of dying!" Walt
Mason.
Keep Cool.
To be sure it is hot weather. Cer
tainly we are breaking former June
records for heat and the winds blow
,and the men who see visions and who
are prophetic of unpleasant things to.
come are in evidence, yet let us keep
cool and hold our energies collected.
The crop in Nebraska is injured every
week and killed outright a half dozen
times every summer, yet, somehow,
we come up at the close with a matter
of 45.000.000 bushels of wheat, an
average of 225,000,000 bushels of corn
and when final accounting is made in
the late autumn we see Nebraska, as
usual, at the head of the heap and ev
erybody happy. This week the Bur
lington issued its first crop report of
the season and that report says win
ter wheat all through eastern and
central Nebraska is not injured. What
wheat was lost was lost months ago
far out in the southwest section of the
state and that land has long since
been planted to other crops. The re
ports on the corn prospects are per
fect Never has there been a better
stand of corn in the state and seldom
is the growing crop so far advanced
at this season of the year. The condi
tions have been perfect for first cul
tivations and the fields are clean and
free from weeds. If the nights are
hot and to say "keep cool" seems sar
castic, remember that the corn is en
joying this weather and if all men had
the Bixby temperament they would be
happy in going forth and in hearing
the corn grow in the night The first
airalfa cutting is In the stack and the
crop has been gathered' under un
asaally favorable weather conditions.

the shock in a few days and really
the deather Is doing just about the
right thing even if we are not just
as cool as we think agreeable. Busi
ness in May was, almost without ex
ception in this territory, better than
in May one year ago. To the retail
merchant, especially those handling
hot weather goods, these are great un
loading days and when the retail mer
chant sells, then the money comes
back to the jobbed. So, above every
thing else, lets not get in a panicky
state of mind just because, these hap
pen to be mighty hot days. It is the
easiest thing in the world to worry
until every wind that blows seems to
be a hot one. If we cannot keep just
as cool as we would like to be from
aphysical standpoint, let's at least
keep cool in mind and not get into a
mental sweat over a few warm days
that have In reality beee just about
what was most needed up to date.
Lincoln Trade Review.
Our forefathers lived in log cabins
and sod houses, wore wooden shoes
and clothes made of coarse home spun
cloth. In every way their life was
more simple, but they were happy and
had less time to waste than we have.
With all the modern conveniences,
with all the industrial and educational
advantages, we today, have too much
unoccupied time on our hands. This
leads too many of us to dissipation
and destruction. Give our boys and
girls more work and you will raise
more industrious men and women.
Have our time taken up with useful
occupation ind there will be less
temptation to fill our mind with silly
imagination and scheming as to how
to get to the highest position in life
or the first position in society with
out honest and persevering applica
tion. That an idle brain is a devil's
workshop becomes truer every year.
The best cure for the gloomy, the de
spondent and the discouraged is work,
and work is a blessing to us all. If
there were fewer of us who shun work
because we foolishly imagine that it
degrades us. there would be fewer sui
cides, fewer inmates of asylums and
penitentiaries, fewer divorces and
fewer unhappy homes. Schuyler Mes

The Consolidated Magnolia Gold Min

Metal Mining Association, of Boulder
county. Magnolia mountain has al

gold alone. According to -the books
and maps issued by the commissioner
of mines of Colorado, Boulder county
lies in the mettalliferous area of the

lars, furnishes electric power through
out the entire county. There are a

had pains in my back, arms and
shoulders and I could hardly turn my
head owing to sharp twinges in my
neck. My back ached constantly and
was ao lame that It was diflcult for me
to get on and of my wagon. Morn
ings when I first got up, there was
stiffness across my loins and It was all
I could do to stoop. The kidney se
cretions passed too frequently and
showed that my kidneys were at fault.
I took medicine prescribed by physi
cians, but it did not help me to any
extent and I found no relief until I
used Doan's Kidney Pills, procured
at Pollock ft Co.'s Drug Store. They
fixed me up in good shape and since
then, when I have had need of a kid
