PITCHES NO HIT GAME.
Corey, the Emmet Pitcher, Shuts
Dorsey Out Without a Hit.
Those who attended the ball game
on the local diamond last Sunday
afternoon between Emmet and Dorsey
witnessed one of the best games
played in this county for several
!ini;Mi«iiin,M^siiiaa«ia*ii:iil|liiili|l|iiill|i|iiiii|l|l|!ll|| I'tiMum mihiiii
seasons and had the pleasure of seeing
a no hit, no run, no man to first,came,
which is an unusual thing and the
pitching of a game of this kind places
the pitcher who pitches it in the base
ball hall of fame. In addition to pitch
inga no hitgame,Corey of Emmet,whc
turned the trick last Sunday, fanned
twenty of the Dorsey boys, which is
also some record. They could dc
; I
absolutely nothing with the brand of
ball he was pitching, being as helpless
as two year old kids. Many of the
Dorsey boys weut to the plate and
whiffed the air three times, not being
able to even foul the bail. During the
entire contest there was nothing that
even looked like a hit and the kind ef
pitching dealt out by the left handed
phenom of Emmet last Sunday would
baffle even more experienced ball
players than comprise the team from
Dorsey. We have seen Oorey pitch
three games this summer and he
seems to improve with each game.
The game twirled last Sunday was a
vast improvement upon the game he
twirled on the local grounds four
weeks ago against Atkinson. A good
deal of the Improvement we believe is
in the catcher as Eddie Albert? has
caught the last two games he has
pitched and they work together like
two old leagers. In addition to
catching a good game Eddie connected
for two hits during the contest.
While Corey pitched a great game
all the credit for the grand game Sun
day should not go to the man from
Emmet. Karr, who was on the mound
for Dorsey, twirled a splendid game
and the game he pitched will win
nine out of ten contests. Nine hits
were secured from his r elivery, three
of which were scratches and should
have been easy fielding chances, but
were allowed to go for hits by his
support. In addition to this Ire
fanned ten men and was entitled to a
shutout as there was not an earned
run in the game, the hits being kept
well scattered. The first run came in
the sixth inning. After two were
down Karr fumbled an easy roller and
Richardson was safe on first. This
was a very easy chance and should
have been an easy out. In trying to
catch him off first he threw wild and
Richardson took second. The Emmet
short stop then connected for his
second hit of the game and Richardson
scored. The next up was an east out.
The battle of pitchers kept on and the
spectators were sure that tne score
that had been allowed on an error
was enough to win the game, but a
couple of errors helped them to twc
more runs in the ninth, coming
as did the first after two were down.
After two had been retired on a
doube play, Shorthill got a hit, Corej
got first on three strikes, which the
catcher allowed to get away from him,
This would have been the third out
The Emmet first baseman then con
nected for a hit and Shorthill scorec
and Oorey scored on an error al
second, on Wilson's roller. The
Emmet first baseman was caught at
the plate in an attempt to score, and
the game was over.
It was as pretty a pitching duel as
we have seen in many a day and as
these teams come together on the
local diamond on next Tuesday after
noon, the fiyst day of the fair, the
lovers of good, fast base ball do not
want to miss the opportunity to see a
first class article of the national
pastime.

The Games Next Week.
The committee having in charge
the management of the base ball
games next week, met last Sunday
night with representatives of the
Ewing, Emmet, Dorsey and O’Neill
teams and arranged for the games
during the week The Atkinson
team was unable to enter the contest
for the county championship as their
manager said that many of the mem
bers of the team were out in the
south country putting up bay and
that it was impossible to get them
in to take part in the games next
week, so that the above four teams
will scrap it out fur the championship
of the county. The teams that would
contest against each other was settled
oy lot and in the drawing Dorsey and
Emmet will contest the first day and
O’Neill and Ewing the second day,
and the winners of the first and
second day will battle for the
championship on the the third day.
Jack Sullivan of this city was selected
as the official umpire for the three
days. These promise to be three ol
the best ball games seen in this
section for many years as each teanc
is determined to win the honor of the
championship of Holt county, and 11
you love the game you should not fai
to witness all three games.
Costly Treatment.
' “I was troubled with const!pallor
and Indigestion and spent hundreds o
dollars for medicine and treatment,’
writes O. H. Hines, of Whitlow, Ark
"I went to a St. Louis hospital, alsi
to a hospital in New Orleans, but m
cure was effected. On returning bomi
I began taking Chamberlain’s Tablets
and worked right along. I used then
for Borne time and am now alright.’
