O’NEILL BASEBALL TEAM TAKES THREE OF FOUR GAMES Holt county baseball fans have en joyed the privilege since and includ ing last Thursday of seeing the O’Neill team win three of the four games played in that time, including the one at Emmet Wednesday after noon. They also have been privileged to see two famous pichers, one of them under contract with the St. Louis Cardinals, go down to defeat before our own Ed. Allen, than whom there is none better in these parts. Allen not only defeated the other two stars, but also beat them in all angles of the game in addition to outpitch ing them. TJie first of the noted ones to fall before the O’Neill man was Carl Simpson of Omaha, who was im ported by Stuart in an attempt to de feat O’Neill on the Stuart diamond last Thursday. The attempt failed, the score being B to 2 in favor of O’Neill. But notwithstanding, it was a fast game with victory possible for either side up until the last strike was •ailed on the last Stuart man in the ninth inning. Saturday, the first day of the twe day rodeo and baseball tournament staged at the fairgrounds by the local club, Stuart and O’Neill again met. McGuire of Neola, Iowa, and Omaha, presided on the mound for O’Neill on this occasion, the purpose being to rest Allen for the big Sunday game between O’Neill and Verdigre which was expected to be and which was the gala game of the series. Mc Guire, although one of the beat pitchers who has been up the line this year, couldn’t get started until after several innings, and owing to poor support lost his game to Stuart by a score of 11 to 4. Stuart’s old standby, Miller, served for the west enders and pitched one of his best games of the season. McGuire pitched big league baseball in the latter part of the game, but the lead established in the early part could not be over come. Fans in this game were privileged to see a tripple play, eome thftig not witnessed often and in fact so rare in baseball of any class as to 'call for special mention. The play oc curred in the seventh inning, when Carrol playing second for Stuart, hit « hot one straight into McGuire's glove, with one man alroady on at first and another at third. McGuire immediately threw to Harrington, playing third for O’Neill, who caught Brunning of Stuart, backing up to third. Harrington then slammed the globule over to Hank Person at first in time for the latter to put out Hamilton of Stuart, who after huv ing started for second base was try ing to get back to first. Three thousand breathless fans, in eluding the kids, saw world series baseball played on Sunday afternoon when O’Neill and Vcrdigre met. They also saw Ed. Allen, O’Neill’s slab artist, humble the mighty Fred Wig gington of the St. Louis Cardinals and defeat him in a battle which was strictly a pitcher’s duel, by the very narrow score of 1 to 0. One to nothing games are always good games, but only once in a lifetime as good as this, which is evidenced by the fact that no errors were recorded against Yerdigre and only two against O’Neill. Five hits were scored off Wiggington and but two off Allen. Each pitcher struck out thirteen men. This game is to be re peated at Verdigre on Sunday, Sep tember 6, with the same two pitchers opposing each other. The rodeo put on in conjunction with the baseball tournament Satur day and Sunday, was exceptionally entertaining and had much to do with drawing the big crowds of both days. Manager C. H. Blakely, who is en route to Norfolk and Sniaha with his riders and outlaw horses put on ex citing programs on each day, al though they were somewhat curtail ed by the length of the ball games which preceded them and also by a slight shower Sunday afternoon. The horses were some of the best per formers eves shown here and a num ber of the riders were thrown. Sev eral suffered injuries, but none se rious ones. Wednesday afternoon the O’Neill baseball team defeated Emmet at the big picnic at the latter town, by a score of 8 to 5. Allen again presided for O’Neill, while Tomlinson served for Emmet. The Emmet team was largely recruited from Stuart and DeLay of Stuart played center field for O’Neill. Holiday of Stuart was the unpire. The game was witnessed by a very large crowd and was pre ceded by a game between the Shields township team and the Emmet sec ond team in which the former were the victors. Following are the statistics of the several games: Sluart-O’Neill, July 30th.

The ladies planned to start on their picnic at five o’clock; at the appointed hour the heavens were darkened by approaching storm clouds but the ladies heeded them not, hop ing that they might enhance the pros pects for a downpour, but no such luck—the rain disappeared. An ex citing base ball game was played by the married and single ladies. Only two innings were played. The game was stopped at the end of the second inning on account of sprinkle;the mar ried ladies were two scores in the lead and were declared the winners. One of the outstanding features of the game was a home run by Mrs. Stein in the first inning. Mrs. Will ging, the accomplished 3rd baseman for the married ladies, was hit on the jaw by a ball delivered to her posi tion by the pitcher in an endeavor to intersept a base runner; she retired from the game and Mrs. P.

(Courtesy St. Louis Post Dispatch.) O’Neill, Neb. Farmers on the tablelands south of the Calamas River, below Beaver Flats, are reporting considerable damage to their corn fields and other cultivated crops by the annual migra tion of the carp, which late each sum mer leave the shallow lakes of the tablelands and trek to the river to re main until the fall rains again re stock their homes with an abundance of water. July this year has been unusually dry in the section and as a result the lakes became low much earlier than formerly, causing the migration at a time when the young carps are in a most succulent and tender stage. The fish are largely vegetarians, subsisting mostly on grass and other shoots and roots which they find along the lake shores and in the shallow portions of the water. Each year when the water becomes so low that it grows uncomfortably j warm, the carp leave, and traveling by night when the dew is on the grass, move overland to the streams. The dew furnishes sufficient dampness to keep their gills moistened by night and in the day time they seek the shade of the cornfield, burrowing in the damp soil about the stalk roots during the heated part of the day. The young corn is just to their liking. They fell it by first eating off the roots, and then attack the leaves and1 sprouting ears on the fallen stalks. The cafp always travel in a straight line, rarely deviating from their orig inal course, and to this trait is due the fact that they do not completely destroy an entire field, contenting themselves with only eating the provinder in their lines of march. A school of a hundred migrating carp,, however, will cut a swath several rods wide across a field and if the line of march happens to be the long way of the field the damage is con siderable. NOTICE.
