Many Good Games
Sunday in the
County League
The Attendance at the county league
baseball games has leen gradually in
creasing, anrl a great deal of interest
is being shown in the race. Uerea has
a good lead for first place, but evi
dently a real battle will be staged for
second, as four teams are now tied for
this place. Herea, the leader, will bat
tle the Ked Sox on the Ked Sox dia
mond. The Hed Sox have been play
ing pood ball, but are not very high
in the standing. A win Sunday would
give them a substantial hnoxt, while
Marplc will nlso put up a real battle
to stay in first place. Snuke Creek
will play Pleasant Hill. Snake Creek
Is one of- the teams in the second
place, while rier-.sant Hill, although
playing good ball seems to lc unnb'e
to climb in the race. I.awn will play
at Ash Grove. Hoth of these teams
are tied for second, and the winner
will maintain that place while the loser
will take a decided set-back. This
should be one of the best games on the
list. The games will help greatly to
break the standing ties, and the teams
will be more easily doped. This Sun
day presents a list of games unequal
led by any so far. Any of the four
should be a great contest.
Tendler Will Fight
Leonard July 20, at
Jersey City Arena
Lew Tendler, the port-side light
weight will soon have a crack at Benny
Leonardo lightweight tiUe if plans
now made should go thixmgh, as Tex
Kickard has matched these two for
Julv 20 at Jersey City. The match
has boon made a no-decision affair,
the title being in no danger unless
Tendler should connect with a hay
maker and nut Benny down for the
count, which from past performances
'on the nart of Benny, seems unlikely.
Ieonard has another match lined up
in which he has everything to gain
and nothing to lose, for he may soon
fight Jack Britton for the welter
weight title. The ver.crahlo Ciittun
may prove easy for a hard-hitting and
youthful fighter like Benny, while be
cause of the weight conditions Leon
ard s title is in no danger at all.
Should Benny win he would hold two
titles at the same time, but he wou'd
probably soon vacate the lightweight
title, for it is reported that he will
have the greatest difficulty to make
the weight. He may try to pass on
his present belt to his brother should
he nciiu're another, although Tendler
is the logical candidate. Any such at
tempt, unless Joey I-eonard should
greatly distinguish himself would be
greeted about as joyfully as France
greeted the German invasion. At that
Joey is reported to be able to hold his
own with the best of them.
Mrs. Mallory Loses
in English Match
to Mrs. Beamish
Mrs. Mollo Bjurstedt Mallory, the
American tennis star, lost to Mrs.
Beamish, England's pride, in the third
round of the Middlesex championship.
The sets were 6-0, 6-4, which
seems to show a strange reversal of
form with both players, each winning
a set with great ease, this apparent
ly maVes Mrs. Malloiy's chances to de-
teat Suzanne Lenglen much slimmer,
for the French marvel has won easily
from all of the European players. Mrs.
Mallory was regarded as the only pos
sible woman player with a chance to
beat Mile Lenglen. Each of these two
has a victory over the other, the latter
going to Mrs. Mallory after a rather
unsatisfactory match, Mile. Lenglen
allowing her temperament to overcome
her when it seemed certain that she
would lose, and . professing illness
which prevented her from finishing the
match. The other match, which was
won by the French star was finished,
Mrs. Mallory's supporters claiming
that she wa3 far oft her game from
constant play, and unable to make a
food showing. Should Mrs. Mallory
be in good form when she meets Suz
anne, the match will decide a long
standing question.

He gave some flowers to a ped

whimpered, "God bless you."
He wandered into the art gallery.
Before the great masterpiece sat an

the legion, soon to be published Mrs.
Kate S. Bryant of Hartington, state
historian, already has completed a his

"A bulletin has been mailed to all
unit historians giving suggestions and
instructions as to the writing of the
unit histories," says a statement from
.auxiliary headifunrters. "It is the pur
pose of the auxiliary to compile an au

will consist of a volume from each in
dividual unit and also a general history
for each state.
"The records of the unit historian
will give a complete statement of
every legionnaire's participation in the
war, and also include copies of let
ters, extracts from dairies written
while in service, copies of orders and,
citations, and like information.
"It is our intention to co-operate
with local historical societies and li
braries in every way, in order to make
the history us complete and authentic
us possible. The unit historian will
make three copies of all records, one
for each national headquarters, the

history."
The committee appointed several
months ago to compile u history of
the world war has virtually completed
its labors and the volume soon will be
muly for distribution, according to
Frank H. O'Connell, state adjutant,
who originated the plans for the his

tain a complete review of the legion's
activities in the state and war, but
the activities of all relief and welfare
organizations, patriotic societies, local
boards, army and navy troops, move
ments, personnel and similar data.

gion north and west of North Platte,
brought back with him the report that
there was far less liquor traffic in that
section of the country this spring than
when he visited that vicinity last year,
nays The Star.
"Conditions are a good deal better,"
said Sheriff Hyers. "There is less
liquor and few law violations."
Sheriff Hyers visited Keith. Arthur,
Grant, Garden and McPherson coun
ties, and others, he said. The crops in
that sectjf are good.
"I stopped at a tarm house in Ar

Hyers said, "and the farmer told me
that he could make more on one good
sow this year, than he could on seven
head of cattle on the range, corn is
so plentiful."
Prairie chickens are so numerous
this spring, the sheriff said, that they
constitute a real menace to crops
there.
"The farmers in the sandhills com
plain that the prairie chickens eat all
their alfalfa."

for the 1922 prairie chickens, accord
