The game was draggy, as neither team showed a great deal of pep and snap in their work and the Platters i especially seemed to suffer in thei batting. Becker being able to slow ball the usually dependable hitters of the local staff and while there i were many slashes made at the ball by the Platters, the boy from Rich field was able to hold the locals in good shape and had the right kind of SUpport been given Becker hej would probably have had another tai to unf0id j For the iocai3 Swanson occupied 'the moun(j and hurled his usual good game and but for an unfortunate mix-up in the fifth inning would have chalked up a shutout on the visitors. The Springfield team se cured seven blows from Swanny. but these were scattered like the demo cratic vote in Pennsylvania, and had little effect cn the result of the bat tle. The fielding of Newman at short and the work of Herb Klauschie in the center garden were the playing features of the battle for the locals, while aside from Becker the visitors ha' very little to offer in the way of class in their work on the diamond, The scoring started in the first in- ning for Plattsmouth, when Reichart and Distell were both retired and then Herb Klauschie. who has just . nected with one of the slants of j Becker and whiffed it out into the right garden where Haly failed to se"cure jt anu our Doy Spidell. was restingr at second while Herb came in var-jwjtn tne score. Tne viSjtors started rather nastv in the first innin&t when Frank Adair singled over sec0nd and was follow- short left and with no one out the situation looked bad.

The Springfield team were able to e l" VT s , , while the manly form of liecKer was covering the plate to take the throw from Schuman. with the result that Becker received a nasty rap on the left jaw that placed him down and out and for the remainder of the inning. Latham toiled in an effort to stP the locals and would have suc- ceeded but for the fact that the first baseman failed to stop the grounder of Reichart. on which McCarthy and Hans scored, making the score 4 to 1 in favor of the locals. The last scoring of the Platters was in the eighth frame when Beck er was again keeping the locals guess- 'ing and two had been retired. Hans when Swanny singled over second base.

The new community auditorium presents a very changed appearance ! in the last few days as a result of (the erection of a greater part of the steel work and the placing of the ! ceiling joists, which are also to serve as floor joists when the second story I is added to the building, being 2x12 I in size. The brick masons are now 'filling in around these joists, every third one of which is tied into the wall with a strap anchor in order to further increase the rigidity of the structure and provide better bonding of the walls. Over these will be framed the slop ing temporary roof, the rafters for which are 2x8, of proper length for use in construction of the main roof over the massive steel trusses a few years hence. The shiplap can also be removed when the building proceeds and be used in the final roof. For the present structure a two coat mopped down asphalt roof will be provided, the specifications providing that it be laid by an experienced roofing c ncern and guaranteed water and weather tight for a period of five years. Inside the building a great deal of concrete floor is to be laid, includ ing the concrete imbedded sleepers on which will be nailed the maple floor covering the 58xS8 assembly room. After the concrete is thor oughly dried out the 6,500 board feet of maple flooring will be laid by an Omaha flooring concern, sanded, pol ished and made ready for lovers of the waltz, one step, Charleston or what not. John Eauer, the plumbing sub contractor, is getting ready for the installation of the plumbing fixtures and sewer lines and water pipes will be laid undereath the floors. Beyers pipe is being used under the concrete floors instead of the common cheaper grades. To protect the back from the em bankment, a parapet wall will extend above the temporary roof to the level of the future stage floor joists in the main building. When the rest of the building is constructed a few years hence, this wall will work right into the plans and not have to be touch ed, so its erection now at a cost of some $150 additional, not only will protect the roof from the embank ment but provide for future con struction requirements as well. The steel casements and French type windows will admit the greatest amount of light and ventilation and never rot out as would be the case with wood casements. If you haven't noticed the progress being made with the work in the past few days, drop by the site and tee how the work is moving along. FEW CELEBRATING THIS YEAR From Monday's Dally A very limited number of towns in this part of the state are making the Eagle scream this year, doubtless due to the fact that last year was the sesqui-centennial of the date and nearly every town and village with progressive tendencies at all celebrat ed the day in fitting manner.
