Atkinson and Emmet Tie.
Atkinson and Emmet met in their
second game of a three game series on
the local diamond last Sunday after
noon, before one of the largest crowds
that has attended a ball game here
for some time. A week ago Sunday
Emmet cleaned Atkinson upon the
Atkinson diamond and the Atkinson
boys were determined to get revenge
for that defeat last Sunday. The
game was stopped after the first half
of the fifth, with the score a tie,
AtkinBcn making three scores in
this inning and tieing the score.
The Emmejrboys were of the opinion
that they could have won the game
tn their half o| the fifth dt the
rain had delayedror a few moments
longer, but that of course is conjecture
and as five innings were not played
there was no gagre and it will have to
be played over.
Atkinson scored one In the first
inning.' Ater Dickerson and Miller
had gone out Eddie Tomslck drove
one to deep center for a home run
It was one of the longest hit# ever
seen upon the local diamond and
Eddie had crossed the plate before the
ball was fielded into the diamond.j
Things looked bad for Emmet in the
rourth when two hits and an error
folllowed each other, but Scuddler
was caught at the plate while trying
to score. In the first half of the fifth
Atkinson secured three runs, as fol
lows: ‘Hits by Raymer, Dickerson,
Milter, Townsend and a walk to Tom
sick netted Atkiuson three scores.
Considera ble rag chewing was indulg
ed In here on account of Miller cutting
first base and after the matter had
been thoroughly threshed over be
was declared out for cutting first.
The Emmet boys secured their runs
as follows: An error at short and a
deep drive to center by Richardson
which Dickerson let get away from
him, was convered into a home run and
two scores crossed the plate. Hits by
Shorthill, Corey and Wilson netted
two more for Emmet in the fourth
inning.
. Kirkland and Raymer were the At
kinson battery and while Kirkland
was pitching a good game the Emmet
boys were getting to him and 1 ad
the game gone on It is hard to tell
what the outcome would have been.
Corey, a left handed twlrler was on
the mound for Emmet. He had lots
of stuff on the ball, but the Atkinson
boys were getting rather familiar
with his delivery, as is evident by the
four successive hits secured by them
in the fifth inning. The day, how
ever, was not an Ideal one for a ball
game as the wind was blowing too
hard for a pitcher to do his best work.
Corey had a splendid drop that he
used very effectively on the Atkinson
boys, and under ideal weather con
ditions, with proper support, would be
a hard man to beat.
Score by innings:
Emmet.2 0 0 2 x-4
Atkinson.1 0 0 0 3-4
Hits: Emmet 8; Atkinson 7; Struck
out, Corey 5; Kirkland 6; Batteries:
Corey and Smith; Kirkland and Ray
mer.
Taxes Too High
NeoraskaFarm Journal: A Lincoln
man who owns a farm in Lancaster
county and a city home In Lincoln
paid his taxes the other day. On‘the
farm, which is valued at <10,000.00,
his taxes were <33.73.
Twill sell my farm fori less than
112,000.00 and my taxes arte 159.42. As_
I went through Rock Falls precinct
assessing personal property I found
nearly every farmer on the war path,
that taxes were too high on real
estate. R,ock Falls has only about pne
quarter of its land under cultivation,
the balance being used for grazing.
Shields and Saratoga townships, has
a lot better land and their taxes are a
good deal lower than the taxes on the
land In Rock Falls. Wallace Johnson
owns three quarters in Shieldf'&nd
three in Rock Falls, the quality of the
land being about the same. On the
land in Rook Falls ills takes are <81.99
and the taxes on the land in Shields
township is 52.02.
I find that condition exists alt
through the township and even In
Saratoga taxes are lower than Shields
or Rock Falls. If a farmer is erron
eously assessed the county pays back
the assessment erroneously ‘ collected,
tlien why not have it paid back when
a precinct is assessed too high.
Farmers do not feel like turning the
entire proceeds'of their farms Over to
the county in rent.
When we object to our high taxes
they tell usf: Whv were we not there
when the board of equlization met,
and have the matter adjusted.” We
certasnly would have been there had
we known they were going to put one
over on us like that. I did not think
anyone has a right to go into Rock
Falls and raise the taxes on ja whole
precinct. Yours truly,
John Grutch.
