BALL TOURNAMENT
DRAWS BIG CROWDS
Many fans from tho neighboring
towns and a good crowd of local peo
ple wore out to tho games for the first
two days of tho tournament and they
witnessed somo good games. About
fifty ball players and twenty or more
fans nro staying In tho city for tho
threo days and much Interest is being
shown. Tho dances Wednesday and
last ovcnlng wero nlso well attended
and cvoryono present reported n flno
time. The games Wednesday were of
the best that havo been played on tho
local diamond and resulted In vic
tories for Ogalalla from Cozad, and
Hershey from North Platte.
Tho Ogalalln-Cozad gamo resulted
in a 3 to 2 score. Ogalalla started
witli one score In tho first when Cozad
orrored, letting n man to first and then
missed a thrown ball, letting tho
man to second. In the second inning
another error by Carrlg let In two
scores. Coad srored two runs In the
third when after two men were out a
hit and an error put a man on first
and ono on bccoiuI. Marlett then went
up in the air and walked three men,
walking" two over the plate. Ogalalla
got six hits and Cozad three. Mar
lett and Harrington were batteries for
Ogalalla and Todonhoff and Taylor
for Cozad. i
Tho second! game, between the Her
shey Giants and North Platte resulted
In a shut out, Hershey winning with
a 3 to 0 score. Failure to hit tho ball
when men wore on bases rosulted In
no scores for tho locals, whllo tho vis
itors landed on Pitcher Smith for ten
hits. Some untimely errors also let
in the scores, as there wero no e.irneu
runs. Beachan had tho locals on his
hip, letting them down with only two
hits and striking out cloven men. Tho
batteries wore Smith and Pass, Beach
an and McConnell.
Thursday afternoon tho fans down
at the ball lot were treated to two
moro strong games, North Platto win
ning from Ogalalla by a score of two
to one In a gamo that went eleven
Innings, and Cozad defeating norshey
by a three to nothing score. In the
Ogalalla-North Platto game tho latter
team scored one in tho second inning
and the Ogalallas ono in the fifth, then
there was nothing doing In the scoring
line until tho last half of tho eleventh
when Pierce knocked a'fly over cen
ter field so far into the cornfield that
the ball was lost and ho made a home
run, whereat tho crowd arose as ono
man, howled itself hoarse and shower
ed dimes, quarters and halves on Mr.
Pierce. Vance occupied the mound
for North Platte and Sheffield for
Ogalalla, and each"" wero touched up
for nine hits, North Platto made throe
errors, Ogalalla two.
The Cozad-Hershey gamo was a
peppery ono also, tho last six innings
proving almost perfect ball. Cozad
scored once In tho second, when Ait
ley knocked a three-bagger, and in
the third scored twice through tho
medium of a walk, an error nnd a hit.
Woodbeck twirled for Hershey and
Artlcy for Cozad( tho former allowing
six hits and tho latter four.
This afternoon Ogalalla will play
Hershey and North Platto will go up
against Cozad. So far each team has
won a game, which means that at tho
end of the series a division of the
end of the series a division of the purs
es must bo made. Today's games prom

When telephone rates are low and service
good, the use of the telephone is liberal; if
rates are high and service poor, the use of the
telephone is restricted.
Because telephone service in the U. S. is the
best and the rates the lowest in the world,
Americans use the telephone more than twice as
much as the people of any other nation.
Here are some interesting official figures:
