S a n d e rso n , M a n a g e r to your feet as none oth An important real estate doal for the week was the sale of the Arnett farm, two miles northwest of town, on the 1 Tolo road, to A. Bails, a recent ar- [ rival from Fairfield, Nebraska. T h e: place contains 60 acres and the price was 110,000 00 The place is one of the most desirable in the valley and Mr. Bails secured a bargain at that price. The place has ten acres of young or chard and J-acre of strawberries, which Mr. Bails expects to bring ttHMI or more this season. Mr. Bails will take immediate possession, but will be obliged to return to Nebraska to dis pose of his personal property and to bring out his family. Twelve or 15 families of Mr. Bails' neighbors are waiting for his report on this country, they having signified their intention of selling their Nebraska holdings and coming here if he found the country to his liking. 10 Tho Arnett sale was made by C. S. 20 Sanderson Mr. Shirley has sold his 10-acre tract In the foothills to J. J. Grim. The consideration was $400. The following resume o f baseb ill history will no doubt prove o f interest to Central Point fans, who are just now evincing unusual interest in the nation al game. It is also of local interest to note that O. B. Nash, present manager of the Central Point team, played first base in the Fargo team in the famoua 25-inning game played at Devil’s Lake in 1901 without a tally on either side: Baseball was played as far back as 1840, and the first baseball club was or ganized in 1845 in New York. It was known as the Knickerbockers. The first match game was played at Hoboken, N. J , June 19, 1846. The first rules governing baseball were drawn in New York in 1857. Ih e first baseball league was formed in New York in 1857. The first championship team was New York in 1858. The New York Clipper gave the first baseball trophy in 1861. The first salaried team was Cincinnati. The Professiohal National association was formed in 1871. The National League was formed in 1876. The old American association was formed in 1881 and disbanded 1891. The American association was the first to award the series to the club with the best percentage. The reserve rule was adopted in 1882. The Players’ league formed m 1890 and disbanded 1892. Largest crowd at game-Philadelphia October 1, 1886, attendance 40,000.

Longest throw known, Ed. Crane, 1884, 135 yards, 406 feet and one half inch. Larry Twitchell, now of Colum bus, beat it by two feet, but no official claim was made.

The third longest game on record was played at Tacoma, Wash., May 15, 1891, between Tacoma and Seattle. Tacoma won in the twenty-second inning by a score o f 6 to 5. Oxford's. Real [state Sales. Arthur Brown, who owned a fine place on the foothill road, two and one- half miles west of town, has sold his farm to A. L. Aikln, o f this town, the consideration being $6,000. The place contains 70 acres, with about one-half in cultivation and 14 acres of young orchard. All of the place is excellent fruit land. Mr. Aikin will remodel the house and otherwise improve the place and will take possession at once. Mr. Brown expects to visit friends for awhile in the Willamette valley and will probably extend his trip to a visit with his father at his old home in Kansas. FRUIT BOXES Central Point. Oregon. Some Baseball History. Reform News. This column is edited by the press superintendent of the W. C. T. U. of Central Point, Oregon. General Booth, the leader of the Salvation Army, passed his seventy- ninth birthday last month. An enthu siastic reception was given him, at which he delivered an address which occupied an hour and a half. This after a hard day’s work. Through the efforts o f friends of the heroes a bill was presented to Con gress for the award of medals to two bishops of the Methodist Episcopal Church. These men, when students in the Northwestern University, each witnessed great storms, accompanied with loss of life, on Lake Michigan. Each exhibited unusual bravery and rescued perishing ones. The recipients of these tardy honors are Bishop Hart- zell and Bishop Fowler. The following are a few of the known victories for prohibition at the April election; Eighteen entire counties and enough scattered townships in Illinois to abolish about 1500 saloons. Nineteen out of thirty-five towns voting on this issue in Colorado went “ dry.” Many towns in Massachusetts changed from license to no license and vice versa, with a net gain of about ten for prohibition. There is now a 17,989 no license majority o f votes in Massa chusetts. About two-thirds o f the towns o f Nebraska which voted on this measure went “ dry.” Lincoln re tained license by a majority o f 174 in a total vote of 7,800. Immediately after the disastrous fire in Chelsea, Mass., the saloons of East Boston and Charlestown were ordered closed.
