It was amusing in the high-
est to see men like Frank Bris-
coe, Mat DuBose and John How
ard run; and J. E. Morgan try-.
Ing to slide in on third on a
three base hit. Barney Levine
couldn't see the balls that came
over left field until the batter
was past first base. M. A. Kel-
ler was proud of the fact that he
pitched the entire game for the
“Leans” while the “Fats” chan-
ged four times. Clyde Melton
was too busy with his big pipe
to make a second baseman, but
he put on the best part of the
headwork. It was claimed
that the "Leans” changed up
batteries and made some of
their big runs on Willie Ehlinger
batting out of time. It was
funny just the same.

DAIRY MEN ORGANIZE
HERE LAST SATURDAY
About twenty-five farmers
who patronize the various milk
routes met at the American Le-
gion hall here, last Saturday
and organized a dairyman’s as-
sociation, electing. Henry Crut-
chfield, chairman and Robert
Foster, secretary. After discuss- i
ing a number of matters per-
taining to their welfare, it was
agreed to make the association
permanent, to meet again next
Saturday, to hear report of a
special committee appointed, at
which time it is hoped more will
have come in and the perma-
nent officers elected. The dairy
men are not only meeting poor
prices, bad tests and high feed,
but are up against the proposi-
tion of securing feed. The In-
terchanging of ideas with a
comparison of results is bound
to help the dairy men and it is
a step in the right direction.
Two representatives of the
creamery companies have al-
ready been down to see them.
They wanted to have a repre-
sentative at the meeting; but
the farmers objected and don't
care to let all their secrets out
at once. The meeting was
composed of the best farmers
in this section and nothing sen-
sational or rabid will be attemp
ted. -
