BIG DAY I FOR BALL Five Games Played by Plattsraouth Teams Yesterday. RED SOCKS TAKE THE SECOND FROM C. B. &. Q. Cigar Makers Defeat Bartenders In Fast Double Header South of Town. (From Monday's Dally) Again we tied a little can on the Burlington boys from Omaha yester day in a lop-sided game, as thy score gyroscope was working on the Platts mouth. side of the machinery only.and only once did the railroaders cross the plate. That was in the fourth when Loving drove an easy one down to Mann who fumbled. Way followed with a ground to Bardwell who threw to McCauley cutting him off and Lov ing them made for third. Mack made a good throw, in plenty of time to annihilate his 0.ship, but Mann was in bad a,nd again boosted Ids error av erage by failing to connect, Butler then landed one on the nose for a safe hit to Mason's garden, but it passed him and Loving went home with his rabbit's foot. Of the four errors made by the Sox yesterday two were in this inning, and Mann was the whole works with half of them, but there is a reason for this the same as there is a reason for Postum. Mann has a bum mit, and should not be playing ball at all until the injured member has tirely healed, but Manager Brantner being unable to secure a dobber who fan properly handle the position when Simon says "thumbs up" he is forced to play the old scout, and were it not for the crippled paw Freddie would have Boscoe the snake eater shinned a mile in a matter of eatin' em up. Mann is a good little player when, right, but a man can't play the game with his teeth because he aint built that way. Both pitchers were in the game from the stare Uut Bardwell had the better of iiason, for the t'e, all the way through. Bardwell allowed the railroad ers but four scattered hits,and to his strike out crcdirt yesterday he placed eleviii. Mason also sawed eleven, I wK Iwi ii.itilil rfk tun lnu iturL slIwiu t J.VJvi'l lV VUIU -Jy IIHJ I UIIVO ciiitical times as did Barney,nnd o n more than one occasion, when third base held a Burlingtonite, Bardwell shot the crooked kind and there was nothing doing. The Sox touched Ma son for eight hits of which Fitzgerald made two, Beal one, McCauley one, Mason three, (one a three bagger,) Kelley one. In the third inning Droegc allowed White safe at first by fumbling the ball, but soon redeemed himself with the fans by puuling down w hat looked like a hit to short left. Droegc made a great catch and instead of Mr. White scoring he took to the alfalfa in the center. The Sox opened the run-getting the first inning. Beal and Droegc were easy vistims, a strike out and a ground to short to first retired them respect ively. It looked like a fried one with the sunny side up but Fitz hit safe past third and stole second. Then Mc Cauley drove one down in the diam yJ and the railroaders played horse allowing Fitz safe at third and before they came out of it Mac was viewing the scenery from the top of the second bag. MftfSon brought them both in with a tliree bagger and died on t hird by Herold's pop-up to infield. The only time the railroaders crossed the rubber was in the first of the fourth and had the Interstate Commerce Commission made the proper in vestigation of Freddie there would have been a different rate card dished up then. The opening paragraph played this inning and the more we play it the worse we hate it so we'll forget it. In the fifth White for the Q's made a line drive to deep center and had it got away it would have been going yet, but Beal covered all kinds of ground and made a catch especially for the ladies, which also made the fans sit up and take notice. This catch was the feature of the game, although Way for the Q's made a bril liant stop of a high one at second which gave him the glad hand. In the Sixth the Sox again scored. Mac died out to center and Mason hit safe to center, st etching it into two basts by the slowness of the switch cimine in left, llerold went down to on up to short. Mason took chaiic- s at this stage of the game and at tempted to steal third, and a wild. af throw put him there and then some He scored. Rarnev again pawed the dust and the Q's came in, turned around and went right out again. This also did they do the remainder of the panic, und at no time were they even dangerous, or even made a nuisc that made the Sox afraid of the ears. Again in the eighth the Sox made two scores, and Mason was again there with his stick, and another safe i. .............. fir f tii it'll itriiiM'ii in ri h !i I 1 1 iDiotge, wlio was running lor 1 itz, had alieaily scored ahead of him liy i doing some lutse stealing that deserves ! mention. j There was a little chewing over I decisions, but only once or twice was there any argument. One being w hen a man was on first, no one out and the thrid strike was dropped by the cat cher and the batter beat it to first who was safe for a minute. A little reading up on the rules would have averted this, as the batter is out by virtue of a rule to do away with the sure-thing double play wiiich could easily be pulled off at most any old time simply by dropping the ball at home then shooting it to second and doubling back to first. There was not the ginger in the game yesterday that there generally is as the boys had a walkaway,- something unusual this season, as most of the contest.-havcbeencloseandlongdrawn ott exhibitions. However, the game yesterday and the defeat of another Omaha bunch means that there will be something doing the next time that we tangle up with a bunch from the metropolis, as it has been given out that the Sox will go down in defeat at the hands of an Omaha outfit the next game, if money can secure the required calibre of ball tossers, so cheer up, you fans, there'll be some thing pulled off soon that has slickers in it. Score by innings: C.B.&.Q 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 01 1'latts 2 0 2 0 0 1 0 2 7 Hits Platts S, Qs 4; Krrors, Platts 4, Qs 4; Struck out by Bardwell 11, by Mason 11. The glory of the game and the ex citing naratives of Mc Daniels running, Aniick's great field work and Weber's ability with the glove will never die in the city of Plattsmouth; yesterday was the big event of the Cigar makers Bar tenders game which residted in a clean victory for the handlers of thesmokeweed. The teams and root ers left shortly after nine in the morn ing in carry-alls, wagons, autos and areoplanes, but on account of a mis understanding the gtime was trans ferred from the Ilirtz place to the John Kaffenbcrgcr farm on Four Mile Creek. The boys lined up for their first game about as soon as their forces had as sembled, playing a game of five in nings ending with a score of 14 to 4 with a strong tobacco flavor. In an effort to redeem themselves, the white aprons again assumed their swing sticks, after they had partaken of their repast and lambasted out a game that nearly tied the stink-weed tribe. The score in the second game was C to 5, the line being somewhat changed from that of first. The real feature of the playing was McDaniels running, he nearly made first on an easy three bagger once and the crowd went wild over his speed Wurl and Droegc were the principal stick artists of the game the latter dropping one in the field that the pop dealers couldn't find for a quarter of an hour The line up of the first game: Cigar makers Bar tenders Bookmeycr c Koubek Hadraba p Thomas Droegc ss Egenberger Kanka lb J Perry Ptak 2b Polland B.

Claus Speck held the position of pig tail for the liquid throwers, the active position of the bunch and he got his mits on nearly every ball pitched, for they went through the man behind the bat like soup through a tin horn. The result of the double header is the bar tenders are working about half force today and if the present condi tions continue, the city will have a total cigar famine for the men are so stiff today it is impossible for them to walk down town. Down on the big sand bar, the husky West End Sluggers were also winners with the horse hide, playing the Swifts of South Omaha and defeating them in a seven inning game by the score of 8 to 5. The Wintersteen hill team made a trip to La Platte and brought back a victory, winning the game by a good margin. Although it has been two weeks since the last meeting of the city council, the regular session does not come until next Monday evening as the meetings are held the second and fourth Monday of each month, and so it happens that it makes three weeks between meetings this time.

FINAL MUSICAL SERVICE AT THE EPISCOPAL CHURCH Unsurpassable Program Chen by Choir and Soloists Last Evening. (From Monday's Daily) The grand finale of the special song services at the Episcopal schurch was reached last evening, when the last musical program of the season was given before a large congregation, which was deeply impressed with the excellency of the numbers given by the well skilled musicians of the city un der the diredction of 11. S. Austin choirmaster of the church. The scr vice of last evening was as a crowning achievement of Mr. Austin's earnest work with the church music for the year. Music critics who were in at tendance say that a better program could noi be heard in any city church than the one given last evening at St. Lukes church and the music lovers of the city regret to learn it was the last monthly song service of the year The first number, "Behold, the Day Come by the entire choir well dis played the excellent training of the body, their expression and attack seemed perfect. The effect of Mr Austin's line bass voice in "If Got so Clothe the Grass" was a source of great enjoyment to the appreciative audience. Following the spleitdi soio oi .ir. Austin tne choir again rendered a touching sacred number "Conies at Times a Stillness as of Even." "The Choirboy" by C. W Bavlor was an excellent tenor number brought out in a very effective man ner, after which the audience and choir joined in a hymn which was followei by one of Teresa del Riegos composi tions, "0 Loving Father," rendered in a most capable manner by (den cott. I lie evening s eillertory was played by Mrs. Britt who presided at the organ in her talented way. Mrs Austin's fine alto voice brought out her number "The Light of Day" to perfection, leaving an impression with the audience that will not be soon for- gotten. The evening's program closed with the choir's fine number, "Thin God of Old." Objected Being Called a Vagrant. John Kelly, a dauber of color on smoke starks, was harpooned by big Chief Rainey Saturday night and chucked in the city bnstile until his brain parlor was re-stored to its cquil- ibrium after being badly upset by a succession of drags from the little brown jug. He wassufiicientlystarigh tened out this morning to be brought bcfe;rc hizzoner, where the charge of being a drunken vagrant was made against him. He didn't mind the first part of the title that was thrust upon him, but the name "vagrant" didn't make a hit with him and he entered his objection, "I may have taken a drink or two, but I wasn't a vagrant, I had money to come in on." "But you haven't any to go out on." retorted the judge, which was nearly t best might of it for his stack invoiced at about four bits. The judge imposed a fine of five simoleons and incidentals which he suspended for one hour giving Johnnie time to hit the ties for the next station. He started on the double iiuick for Omaha where he said he had a week's work to do, painting a number of stacks, probably of air castle's. naming Arcs Arrive. The new flaming arc lamps ordered by the Nebraska Lighting Company to be erect eel at the corner e)f Third and Main, Sixth and Main and the third bet ween' Fourth and Fifth on Main street, have arrived in the city and will be put in position as seion as the company is able to get the men to do tin' work. The lights are a little different model than the one put up by the concern as a sample. The y seem to 1' a more compact instrument not quite as long as the sample, al though they give the same candle power as the one which shown forth at Sixth and Main streets a few weeks ago The lamps have a door at the side of the mechanism which makes them much easier of access than the old model, and are much neater in general appearance. Boys Threw Bricks. A complaint was made in police court this morning against Roy and Ray Wainseott, charging them wiih disturbing the peace by throwing rocks, brickbats, cinders and either miscellaneous back yard articles at the two little tots of George Witstruck a resident in the south west part of town. 'Flit two lads, eight and ten years of age, were brought I f ore Judge Archer this afternoon and it was shown the wheile affair was in the form nf a family feud which has been going on for some time. The judge judge continued the case' indefinitely, warning tin; parties if any more trouble occurreel, that action would be taken against them. Fanger Gets Omaha Location. M.

The building which Mr. Fanger has leased is in fine location for the busint ss which he intends to establish and thee were over a dozen parties after it when the lease with the Plattsmouth man was made. He has been offend a big price for the lease but he considers the location too valuable to give uj. VV. O. VV. Memorial Day.

EXPECT DIRECTOR NEWELL WILL SOON BE REMOVED Some Think Talt Will Follow Out Balllnger's Wish to Oust Him. WASHINGTON, Juno 5.-Conser. vation legislation in the senate and the postal savin) bank bill in the houso constitute the features eif the congres sional program for the cominc wnk The general opinion is that both these measures will be voted upon before Saturday and that they will be sent to conference. Party lines will be dissolved and new lines of insurgency developed in tho senate in connection with the public land withdrawal bill, which, it is ex pected, will be taken up tomorrow. Some eif the western members are preparing to make vigorous assaults upon the Roosevelt-Garfield adminis tration of the public domain, especially as regartls the blanket withdrawals of large areas. It is not improbable that this course will lead to seune bitter criticism of the more coiicservative policies of the Taft-Ballinger administration of the la ml laws. The discussions will arise over tho consithration e.f the administration lull, which already has passed the house to authorize the president to withdraw public lands for the purpose of classi fication, for the protection of water power sites, for feirest reserves, and to prevent mineral lands from falling into the hands eif monopolies. Many western members, notably Warren and Clark of Wyoming, Heyburm and Borah eif Idaho, Carter eif Montana and Hughes of Colorado, cxpms fear that the enactment of this measure would mark the return of the policy of "locking up" great tracts of land so that the western states might be deprived of the benefits that would accrue to them from their development With the unofficial announcement that it is President Taft's intention to accced to the wishes of Secretary Ballinger and remove Frederick H Newell, elireetor eif the reclamation service, comes renewed muaterings of dissatisfaction and protest from the officials in that service. . It is not im probable that when Mr. Newell's sucee i-sor ta kc s charge eif thfc i mporta nt department he will find it necessary to build up a new force of engineers Testimony pi veil before the Ballinger rinehot committee disc U se d that the determination e.f r'ecnatry Ballinger to remove Director Newell was re garded as so mai.iftstly unjust and prejudicial to the hist inteiests of the government that the engineers were prepared to resign in a bexly the moment thiir chief was displaced. They r fiaii.ed from eking to onluy at the earnest solicitation jf Director Newell and Chief Enginneer Davis. It is now elisdosed however, that a large number of the engineers have tendered their resignations und are leaving the government service to, engage in more lucrative work with corporations.
