GAME PLAYED Df FAST TIME Contestt Lasted tot One Hoar and Twelve- Ml nates Roarke Play Heady Game and Win by Score of 2 to O. W: Jack Fugate took the long end of a pitchers' battle from Faber of Pes Moines yesterday by shutting out the Boosters by a score of 2 to 0. Fugate let the visitors down with two hits, one of which was of the very scratchiest kind, and struck out fourteen men. He did not give a walk, and up till the sev enth Inning gave not a hit. Only three Des Moines men reached first and not a one second. The former side-wheeler had all kinds of stuff and his cross-fire was working to perfection. Man after man was mowed down with apparent ease.' In the first four "Innings he struck out eight men "With two men down in the seventh by the strikeout route it looked like Jack was to hang up a. no-hit no-run. game, but Tex Jones put a crimp In these mus ings when with two strikes on liim he reached out for a wide one and slipped it down the alley between Kane and the Skipper. This, however, did not daunt the plucky Fugate. If a no-hit game was taken away from him the next best thing was a one-hit He should have had this, but in the ninth Faber hit one to Justice which made a bad bounce and hopped over the little shortstop's shoulder and rolled Into left field. The support back of Fugate was fault less and the Rourkes played a fine, heady game- Niehoff and Justice took all kinds of difficult chances ' and fielded them clean, and their pegOovthe'lnitlaf sack wereion a'llne.fi. In left geld rScanlon played star gaihe, making a couple of star catches. KTex Jones and Tom Beilly slammed -two liners out to the left gar den which ; were ' plucked off the fence by Scanlon.' '' " ; .: For Pes Moines Faber hurled one fine game, and under ordinary " conditions would have had little trouble in winning At that Omaha, had to fight all the way to keep in the lead, faber allowed but five hits and struck out five men. He only passed one man and In the pinches heaved heady ball. "Korea, the Boosters' shortstop who was drafted by the Chi cago Cubs,, gave an exhibition of how the short position should be played. He handled eight chances without a bobble .and got ''the throws over to first with wonderful accuracy. Omaha got its first run In the initial inning. With two down Thomason beat out a bunt, stole second and scored on "Hick" Johnson's single to right . In the fourth with one down Kane Out guessed Faber and drew free transporta tion to the corner sack. Schlpke ad vanced him to second with a grounder, Claire to Jones. Niehoff singled ovei the keystone sack and Kane romped across the pan. Score: ... . 1 ' OMAHA. AB. R. IL 0. A. B.

MONEY OF COLONIAL TIES Variety of Currency Stirred the Activities of Settler. ONE OF TEE FISST PROBLEMS Wampani, Foods and Live Stock la Circulation When Corn Was Scarce Rrpnbllc'a First . System. First New England dwellers had a cur rency problem of their own. It was a much more serious (natter of finance than is the Aldrlca plan of today. The first settlers brought ready money with them from England. But they found no means of putting It Into circulation. Con sequently means of regulating the circu lation, which is one of tie grave econo mic problems of today, was entirely be yond their dreams, ' After the colonists got settled and re alised that they were in New England to stay they became aware of their needs of a convenient circulating mocium. They tried the clam shell currency of the In- dlane, called wampum. It aerved some settlers who had no gold, silver or cop per coins. They also used musket bullets In place of brass farthings. But the sub stitute for real money were Inadequate to the needs of the colonists and they found it absolutely necessary to barter goods, or exchange one article for an other. ' .. . " The Indians, with whom the colonists carried on a considerable trade, ' were glad to accept merchandise in place of money for their skins and other com modities. They didn't know a shilling; from a shallop. But they did know mus kets, ammunition, hunting knives, glass heads and fire water, and to get them they exchanged valuable skins. Various other substitutes for ready money were commonly used In colonial times. For a fat hog, a fat wether of 40 shillings every year, the general court of Massachusetts Bay colony leased Nod dle's Island to Samuel Maverick. Imagine a taxpayer of today driving a fat hog and a fat wether up Beacon Hill and turntng them over to the itata treasurer in payment of his rent. Meat and drink were sometimes given in pirt payment Of wages.. In 1630 the general court ordered that "no master carpenter, mason, joiner or bricklayer shall take above 18 pence a day for their work If they have meat and drink." , j ' Education and . Trade. Until a recent period, which some old men of today remember, apprentices were paid in board, lodging, clothing, and schooling. New England schoolmas ters . boarded about. getting food and shelter In exchange for the tuition of children. Clergymen and physicians ware commonly paid in provisions and fuel, A colonial tailor waa paid in beaver kins for mending a blanket Farmers commonly traded corn for axe and other tools, and their wives traded eggs, butter and cheese for shoe, dresses or bonnets. The first demand that people pay cash for good was met with protests. In 164S the general court heard the petition Of people who were ' aggrieved because the proprietor of the Saugu Iron Work demanded cash for their metal products, and It voted: "We acknowledge with you that such a staple commodity as Iron Is a great means to enrich the place where it is, both by furnishing this place with that commodity at reasonable rate and by bringing In other necessary commodi ties in exchange of iron exported, but as , w used to say, If a man lives where an I ax Is worth but 12 pence yet it I never the cheaper to him who cannot get 12 pence to buy one. So, if your iron may not be had here without ready money, what advantage will that be to us If . we have no money to purchase it. It is true some men her have Spanish money sometime, but Uttie corns to our smiths' hands, especially those of Inland towna What money our smith can get you may be sure to have It before any other; if we must want Iron so often as our money fall, you may easily Judge If it were not better for us to procure it from other place by our corn and pip staves, etc., than to depend on the coming In of money which Is never so plentiful a to upply for the occasion." '; - The F!rt Ma. : ' About 1630, when . the Massachusetts Bay colony was flourishing, a strong popular demand for a plentiful sup.ily of money was heard. Business interests -j wanted currency and laboring men dc- aired cash instead of wampum, bt.vi4 Skins and meat and drink In payment of thelr wages. The genera court of 165&? decided that the way to supply additional currency was to make It and without lengthy discussion of principles of fi-ti nance or Investigations of the monetary systems of foreign countries, the courts voted to establish mint house In Bjsinn. Captain John Hull was appointed mint i master. ' - " Of Captain Hull, Hawthorne tells an UZ terestlng story. The captain fum.r.oner" hi daughter and his son-in-law Immei, diately after their wedding. .H had tw., of his men servants fetch a pair of bel-C ances. He bade hi daughter to cllmb onto the platform Which swung from oner arm of the balance- Then he commanded! his servants to heap the Other platform! of the scales with new pin tree shillings' tAken from a monstrous Iron-bound chest, until the weight of them should lift front1 the floor the opposite platform on whleiC sat the wondering Betsey. She was rosjr and plump, for sh had been . fd r pumpkin pie, doughnuts, Indian pudding. And other Puritan dainties, and it re quired a big heap of pine, tree jrhllllnga" to equal her weight and lift her from the flor. Then Captain Hull, after looking with approval upon hi daughter anl th, great pile of shillings, turned to her hue. band and said: "There, son Samuel, take these shilling for my daughter's por- tipn; use her kindly and thank heaven: for her. It Is not every wife that is worth her weight In silver." 4 The magistrates soon realised that Hull had the beet of the bargain. They offered,' him a large sum in cash if h would ur- render his privileges. But he merely an-' wered that he was satisfied, and kept on coining.' King Charles of England be-! cams .alarmed when he learned of tho' trespass upon the royal prerogative of coinage. But Hull had friend at court; They told the king in 1552 that no new! shillings would be cast And for many; year after Hull kept on coining shillings bearing the date of 1652, he ktngv seeing no new shilling! pi later years believed that his loyal ' subjects had; obeyed htm. Hull manufactured and put into circulation enough coins to keep the settlers fairly well supplied with ready money; ' : . .: .' ; After .the revolution Hamilton . estab lished the financial system of the new country. He provided that the United Btate should assume the national debt In full, and that a national bank and a mint should be established. In Fhlladel-' phia. Congress voted that -gold, silver and copper coins be mad at the mint, and that dime, dollars and cent be legal tender In place of shillings, pence and farthings. So the old colonial monetary sytem passed into history when the oolonles of England became states of the' United States. Boston Globe. HaveYoH Scsn tbe "DOJIDEE" EXCELSIOR? -a 1 1 mmirm mm. N. W.
