Slow Game and Lack of Much Fight
on Either Side Becker Hurls
Good Game for Visitors
From Monday's Daily
Yesterday afternoon after the
water works had subsided, the base
ball fans commenced to wend their

time the battle was started
The visitors arrived shortly after
the rain and when they had assem
bled cn the grounds it was found
that there were two of their stars
missing, but they proceded to fulfill
their part of the bargain by playing
out the game and losing by a score of
5 to 1.
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

good shape and had the right kind
of SUpport been given Becker

'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

right garden where Haly failed to

Tne viSjtors started rather nastv in
the first innin&t when Frank Adair
singled over sec0nd and was follow-

situation looked bad. Becker of the
visitors, however, eased the feelings

The Springfield team were able to

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

out and for the remainder of the
inning. Latham toiled in an effort to

here of the death at Los Angeles on
Wednesday, June 15th of Asher Clark,
old time grocer of this city and who
has been in serious shape for some
time. Mr. Clark was very badly in
jured in an auto accident about a
month ago and while he was recov
ering from this, the severe shock had
brought on an attack of heart trouble
and from which he had failed to ral
ley, gradually growing worse until
his death.

years of age and has for the past
twenty-three years been a resident of
Los Angeles, moving to that city from
Plattsmouth where for many years
he was engaged in the retail grocery
business, and also for some time was
engaged in business in the west coast
city. He has been failing since the
death of the wife two years ago and
with the shock of the 'accident, his
death was not unexpected. His son.
George Clark, of Los Angeles, and
one daughter, Mrs. Charles Weckbach,
of Crete. Nebraska, were with him
at the time of the death, the other
daughter, Mrs. John McCourt of
Barre. Vermont, being unable to
reach his side.
' The funeral services of Mr. Clark
were held on Saturday and the in
terment made at the cemetery at Los
Angeles.,
Mr. Clark was a man of splendid
personality, whose generosity and
thoughtfullness of others had made
him a host of friends in this city and
community while a resident here and
his death will bring a great sadness
to the many old time friends in this
city and vicinity.

(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.
Glen wood, Iowa, and Nebraska
City are arranging for celebrations
this year, but Plattsmouth has plans
for a two or three day homecoming,
with fireworks 'nd everything, at the
time of the opening of the new com
munity building a few weeks hence.
and so will miss this year for the
first time in four years.
An old fashioned celebration is be
ing planned at La Platte, which
should draw a large crowd from the
surrounding countryside. A similar
celebration there six years ago re
sulted in packing the park with only
a dance to attract, while this year
various entertainment features, con
cessions, etc., are planned, as well as
dancing throughout the afternoon
