IF'*?* 1 "' ... * v> by EARL R. WALSH The weather man, who has been a faifly decent fellow on the ayerace, stepped in last Sunday to spoil best laid plans in oar county league. Richmond played at Johnsburg in the only fame of the day and lost after eleven famines of effort on a muddy trade. Richmond probaMy felt like the serviceman (John Cboney) after listening to one of thooe goofy singing commercials -- "I, snook! have 'stood' where I was." We are going to need some good weather this fall both for the corn crop jigd to play off some of these ball games that have piled up because of rain and deadlocks. Next Sunday the Shamrocks will tour down to Algonquin with ideas of boosting their standing to the .500 mark. Algonquin has a strong team but there must be something like the law of averages to stop into the picture. They are planning a big day at Woodstock next Sunday. Howie Hudson will pitch his last game before entering military service. JOHfeUVXa BXAT8 jumuwbp » TO 4 or ELEVENTH HIKING Johnsburg and Richmond hooked up in the only county league game played last Sunday. The field was slippery but the teams battled eleven innings before Johnsburg put over the winning run to win 9 to 4. Hitting was heavy on both sides, but runners were left stranded on the base paths. A sore arm that has been pestering Bud Miller for several weeks caused his retirement at the. end of the fifth inning. George Jackson again switched from catcher to Eiteher, holding the visitors scoresss and, getting credit for the victory. Vernon Miller showed Johnaburg a lot of stuff, but playing conditions were none too favorable for pitchers on either team. v(. Stan Freund opened the eleventh inning with a hit and was forced at Second by I* FYeund. Roy Schaefer doubled. After Alvin Freund was retired for the second out, Bob Frett drew a pass to fill the bases. Jackson then hit to third, but Klaus had trouble with slippery footing and was unable to make a play as ' L. Freund scored Ike deciding ran.' BOX SCORE JOHNSBURG V'" AB A1 Freund cf B.

The most successful poisons are barrium carbonate and redN squill which are used by mixing one part poison in 8 parts of hamburgfer, oatmeal, cheese, fresh grain or other bait. The baits are most attractive to the rat when about a teaspoonful is wrapped in paper enabling him to carry it to his hole. Prebaiting is frequently desirable, for it makes the rat familiar with the places where he will find food, and also removes his suspicion concerning the material. Pre-baiting for about one week before the poison is to be added is considered .lesirable.
