BLOOM FIED DEFEATED
O’NEILL LAST SUNDAY
What might have developed into a
real ball game proved to be a flop
Sunday when the O’Neill ball team
went to Oakview and met the crack
Bloomfield team on the park dia
mond. The cause of the disaster
seemed to simply be the fault of the
umpire who could not detect balls
from strikes. He seemed to show but
little partiality; both teams suffered
ltt<iiuse of his decisions but O’Neill
seemed to get the bad breaks. Bloom
Held won the game 13 to 0. The
Bloomfield lineup included Schroeder,
who is farmed out by Barney Burch
of the Omaha Western League; the
catcher is farmed out from the Denver
club in the Western League, and the
shortstop belongs to the St. Louis
Cardinals.

Mr. Maloney sustained a severe injury
to his right hand.
Mr. and Mrs. Maloney were both
well up in years.
NO one need find the word “Fail
ure” in the Dictionary of Life.
It isn’t there. It is found only in
the man himself.
