Chadron Journal—The game Sun
day between O’Neill and Pine Ridge
drew even a larger crowd than the
day before, as it was expected to be
the game of the season. Before
many innings had been played, it
was evident that the copper colored
boys from the Ridge would have tc
play stronger ball or be completely
shut out. It was a battle of pitch
ers, with Steele an easy winner.
His pitching was superb. Not In
any stage of the game did he Ios«
control of the ball. Each inning
was a repetition of the preceding
one and when eight innings had
passed and not a solitary redsldn
had touched his shoe on the home
plate, they seemed to lose hope and
gave up in despair. The score was
16 to 0 in favor of O’Neill.

state, while in the potato district
in the west end the extreme heat

creased the prospects for a bumper
potato crop. What Nebraska is
greatly in need of is a rain of about
one weeks duration, that will put
the ground in shape for the plant
ing of fall crops. Following is the
