PLAINVIEW THE VICTORS
Many Bad Errors Loses Third of the
Series for O'Neill.
TOOK TWELVE INNINGS TO DO IT
Home Team Had Best of Hitting But
Bad Base Work Costs Game.—
Score 2 to 4.
Figures, they say, do not lie and we
are compelled in the face- of those
staring at us above to admit that the
O’Neill ball team went down todefeat
in the twelfth inning, upon the home
diamond last Sunday afternoon at the
hands of the Plainview boys in one of
the most heart-rending, soul-stirring,
nerve-wrecking exhibitions ever seen
on the local diamond. “Bone-headed”
base running coupled with “punk”
errors on the part of members of the
local aggregation ost O’Neill the
game, and Plainview, while they have
a cracking good team of gentlemanly
ball players, were fortunate in having
O’Neill’s errors come at a time to as
sist them in annexing a scorce, and
it was a game in which a score looked
as big as a Kansas cyclone.
Phil Primley was on the mound for
the locals and pitched classy ball. He
held them down to seven hits, two
of which came in the twelfth inning,
but which could have been handled
by sharp fielding. He fielded his
position perfectly, accepting eleven
ctiances without a bobble, which is an
unusual number for a pitcher. But
aside from his splendid work in the
box he helped lose his own game. In
the fourth inning he was the first up
and singled to center. Then he at
tempted to take second and Dunaway
stopped his delivery to throw to sec
ond. Prim claimed a balk—and
while we are positive it was—Umpire
O’Donnell would not allow it and
Prim was called out. Brophy then
singled and Richter two sacked and
Prim could have scored the winning
run had he not been so anxious.
Perry Dunaway, who was so unhos
pitable as to not allow us even a single
measly hit during the session we play
ed in his own door yard last Wendes
day afternoon, was on the rubber for
Plainview, rabbitt’s feet and all. He
was “stung” for ten good clean hits,
but they were well scattered except
in the fourth when we bunched three,
one a two sacker, with a base on balls
and then failed to score. A little
rabbitt’s foot luck in that isn’t there?
But he had splendid support, ten of
the locals going out on long drives
that landed in the avaricious paws of
a Plainview fielder. But when he
got into a hole, which he did in seven
of the twelve innings, he tightened
up a little and ably assisted by his
team mates was extricated therefrom.
The game started bad for the locals.
Hildebrand got a clean single. Goiens,
after two unsuccessful attempts to
bunt, swung and rolled one to Prim
who shot it to Foreman; the latter let
it get away from him and Goiens was
safe on first and Hilly on second.
Chapman flew out to Richter. Kelly
sent one to Twitchel who threw to
Brophy, catching Goiens. Brophy shot
it to Foreman to double Kelly and
retire the side, but the throw was a
little low and Foreman let it get by
him into the crowd, Hildebrand scor
ing. Schoenauer was out Prim to
Foreman.
In our half we cashed in two scores.
Boyle was given free transportation;
Twitchel was hit, advancing Boyle to
second. Wilson flew out to center,
Boyle taking third on the throw in.
Twitch stole second. Prim laid down
a bunt to the pitcher who caught
Boyle attempting to score, Twitchel
taking third and Prim second. Brophy
got a hit into right center, scoring
Twitch and Prim Bichter rolled an
easy one to Goiens and Brophy was
forced at second.
The Plainview boys were easy in the
second. King was out Brophy to Fore
man and Allison and Tepner fanned.
In our half Foreman got a hit but was
doubled at first when DeSilva put a
little pop-up into Dunaway’s hands.
Hammond fanned.
Plainview tied it up in the third on
an error. Dunaway went out on a
foul to Wilson. Hildebrand was given
a free ticket and took second when
Goiens went out Brophy to Foreman.
Chapman then sent a fly to DeSilva
who muffed it. He got excited and
shot the ball to second, instead of the
plate, for which Hildebrand was tear
ing with the tieing run and he made
it safely. Kelly got a hit, Chapman
taking second. Schoenauer rolled a
slow one toward third and Chapman
interfered with the tieldei attempting
to field it and was called out. That
ended the scoring until the twelfth.
In fact Plainview was never danger
ous during the game, before the last
inning, except in the eleventh. In
this inning Dunaway got a hit, took

second when Hildebrand went out
Brophy to Foreman and landed on
third and Goiens on first when Broph
dropped Goiens’ fly in short right.
Chapman was out Primley to Fore
man, Goiens taking second, but Kelly
was out at the initial sack, Twitchel
to Foreman, and the fans breathed
freer.
O’Neill threw away an opportunity
to win the game in the fourth, as be
fore mentioned, but things looked ei
ceedingly good again in the fifth.
Boyle was out on a short fly to Hilde
brand; Twitchel walkad. Wilson got
a hit advancing Twitchel but was
forced at second, Tepner to Goiens,
by Primley, Twitch taking third.
Prim swiped the keystone station and
a hit would mean two runs and the
game, but Brophy was unequal to the
task and whiffed. Things looked
quite pert for us again in the seventh.
After Boyle flew out to Allison Twitch
got on for a hit and was advanced to
second when Dunaway hit Wilson.
Prim advanced them both a base
when he went out Goiens to Hilde
brand. With a man on second and
one on third with two down Brophy
rolled one to Dunaway and was out at
first, and another opportunity had
gone ballooning. In the ninth, after
Boyle and Twitchel had flew out to
left and center field, Wilson connected
with one of Dunaway’s choice benders
and drove it over Allison’s head for
three sacks, but died there when Prim
went out on a long fly to Allison.
With two down in the eleventh Boyle
got a hit into right Held and took
second on a bad throw by Allison, but
died there as Twitchel flew out to
King.
in we tweiun trie fierce county
boys put the game in their pocket.
Schoenauer put a two sacker into cen
ter, just over Hammond’s head. King
sent a fly to center which Hammond
got into his hands then let go and
Schoenauer was smiling on third and
King on second. Allison then con
nected on a safety and Schoenauer
and King scored. Tepner was out,
Prim to Foreman; Dunaway flew out
to Hammond and Hildebrand fanned.
In our half Wilson was out Kelly to
Hildebrand and Primley took a ticket
for the bench over the same road;
Brophy fanned the air and Plainview
had the “rubber,” although out-bat
ted and out-played as the box score
shows.

The Live Stock Market
South Omaha, August 19.—Special
market letter from Nye-Schneider
Fowler Co.
The week opens with very liberal
receipts of cattle, there being about
14,000 here in two days, much the
heaviest run so far this season. Beef
steers were slow to a dime lower and
cow stock fully 10 to 15 lower. The
percentage of Stockers and feeders are
becoming larger and the beef cattle
from the ranges are in smaller propor
tion than they were earlier in the
season, and the demand for good
kfllen is keen. We expect to see the
demand for corn fed cattle increase as
the percentage of beef from the ranges
decreases.

MILLIONS™ BY LAW
Estimate of $6,000,000 Saved to
Nebraskans Through Rate Law.
SOME ASTONISHING FIGURES
Marvelous Results Follow the Work
of Our Last Legislature.—Regula
tion That Regulates.
The sum of 86,000,000 has been saved
to the people of Nebraska in the past
year through the operation of the rate
regulation laws passed by the last leg
islature and enforced by Attorney
General Thompson and the railway
commission, says a special from Lin
coln.
Over two and a haR million of this
sum was saved through the operation
of the Aldrich law reducing rates on
lumber, coal, live stock and grain 15
per cent. Over three million more
was saved to the people through the
reduction of passenger fare from 3
cents to 2 cen ts a rn I le. From the cut
of express rates within the state a
saving of 8179,000 is figured, and 8100,
000 from the cut in coal rates from
Wyoming.
These are not estimates, but care
fully compiled figures taken from the
reports and returns of the railroads on
file with the state commission. It
does not include hundreds of miscel
laneous matters that the board took
up and adjusted. It is regarded by
the commissioners as a remarkable
showing of what sane regulation can
accomplish, in these cases the increase
in volume of business making up In
large part for the cut In rates.
Pillen-Fletcher Nuptials.
A very delightful occasion was the
gathering at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
George Pillen at Mineola, on Wednes
day evening, August 12,1908, when
their daughter, Miss Laca, was united
in marriage to Mr. Allison Fletcher
of Poetone, 111. The bridal party
entered the parlor at 8 o’clock, to the
strains of the wedding march, played
by Miss Ida Craig, a cousin of the
bride. The ceremony was performed
by Rev. T. S. Watson, pastor of the
Methodist church of O’Neill, in the
presence of forty-five relatives and
friends of the contracting parties.
The bride was beautifully gowned in
white chiffon-batiste,while the groom
was becomingly attired in a suit of
black. After the ceremony and con
gratulations, refreshments were served
and a social hour was greatly enjoyed
by all. Many valuable and useful
presents were received by the happy
pair, consisting of china, glass and
silver ware, table linens, floor rugs
and other articles too numerous to
mention. O’Neill was represented at
this gathering by Mr. and Mrs. Oren
Calkins. Mr. and Mrs. Fletcher will
reside in Peotone, 111., where he is en
gaged in business. ***
