Local Team Defeated .Han Jify h The
Afternoon But Win at Indocr Bail
Yesterday afternoon betore a handful
of spectators the MarysviPe Mo. semi
professional team gave the Red Sox t
trouncing in a game which wa3 chiefly
noticeable for the bad playing of both
teams. The teams made an equal num
ber of safe hits but that does not cor
rectly indicate the batting of theteams
as Marysville hit Wilkens much the
hardest, the local outfield having eight
put outs to their credit while Marysville
had but three. The features of the
game was the fielding of Droegge and
Larson for the Red Sox altho the latter
made a disastrous error that cost some
runs, and the batting of Schneider, White
and McCauley. Droegge played far and
away the best ball on the local team,
taken all around For the visitors the
entire team fielded brilliantly except
Roben at short whose errors were re
sponsible for most of Plattsmouth's
runs. Wolf, Sommer and H. Vance
led at the bat and hit the ball hard.
The home team went through the
visitors in the first inning like a whirl
wind, the first three men falling easy
victims. On their side the Sox did like
wise and the spectators thought there
was going to be some didings and a
good game. But alack-a-day, there was
scandalous happenings in the second.
The young man Wilkens was unable to
keep the sphere under control and Haw
thorne, the first man up for Marysville
walked. Then Mr. Sommer, the athlet
ic pitcher for the Missourians, hit the
ball a swat that jarred Mr. Wilken's
spinal column it got up and made ex
press speed for the tall weeds back of
right field and Hawthorne trotted home
while Sommer stopped at second until
the dust settled. Then H. Vance sent a
warm baby to Larson who forgot the
location of first base and tried to mow
down the Marysville coacher. He did
not succeed but Vance wa mean enough
to take advantage of the throw and move
to first base. Then Hamill hit a bound
er to McCauley and went out advancing
Sommer and Vance. Both men imme- i
diately came home on McCauley's at- I
tack of nervousness in which he sought
to unload the ball out of the game by
letting Markell's hit go through him
into the weeds. That made three runs
and was all for that inning as Fishback
went out from White to McCauley.
Droegge got a two base hit in the sec
ond for the locals but that was all as
Fitzgerald who followed him went out
to short being the finis to do that trick.
The third inning was another harrow
ing one tor the locals. After Koben
went out to Droegge, Wolf made a
mighty collision with the ball for two
basesand scored on Sommer's single.
Then H. Vance lifted the ball high in
the air toward left field and furnished
Droegge an occasion to look like a tur
tle as he sprawled under the fence in a
vain effort to corral the sphere. He
got it all right but Vance had made him
some homerun while he was getting of
it. Hamill ended the inning by going
out from Larson to McCauley.
Platts did nothing in their half except
wear a sweet, mourntul smile, lhen
the locals took a brace and the visitors
never got a hit in their half of the
fourth. White got a base on balls in
the fourth but foolishly forgot that he
was in a ball game and was caught nap
ping at second. The rest did nothing
worth mentioning in this half.
In the fifth Maryville needed a couple
of runs and proceeded to annex them
After Roben had gone out, Wolf made
a single and went to third on an error
by Fitzgerald, scoring on Hawthorne's
out. Then came a harrowing and humi
lating scene. The young man Sommer
clouted the ball a clout that sent it soar
ing up, up into the heavens until it re
sembled the price of corn and was al
most invisible to the naked eye. After
a long lapse of time it reappeared fall
ing swiftly as the hopes of the Red Sox
toward the earth. Fitzgerald got
under the descending sphere and waited
for it to light. And it lit all right. It
struck the young man's hands with a
loud crash and rebounded from them as
if they were a rubber cushion falling to
the earth with a dull sickening thud,
That put Sommer on first and he cruel
ly stole second scoring on H. Vance's
two base hit. That added two more to
Marysville making the score at that
writing stand 8 to nix with the Red
Sox on the short end. But here was
where the Sox's hopes riz some Roben
began his glorious record of errors and
he showed those present that he could
play as bad ball as anyone on earth.
He kindly let Mr. Droegge go to second
base by a wild and tumultuous heave of
the ball across the diamond and Fitz
gerald advanced Droegge by a clever
sacrifice, and McCauley scored him
with a nice single to right, going to
second himself on Roben 's juggle
of Schmidt's ground hit. Schneider
sacrificed McCauley to third and the
latter scored on another piece of bad
fielding by Roben. That gave Platts
two all of which was attributable to
Roben's vile work.
In the sixth the Missourians got no
thing altho O. Vance made a hit but
Wilken for the Sox got a sassy tap on
the heel from. one of Mr. Sommer's!
shoots and was sacrificed to second by
Larson and scored on Wolf's error of '
letting Droegge's grounder get through
him. That made it 8 and li. j
Marysville added two more in the j
seventh both on errors by McCauley
aw. White while Plattsmouth annexed
three in her half on a combination of !
hits and errors. That made the score 1
10 and 6 and there it stayed altho Mc- ;
Cauley in the ninth threatened to break
in with another for the home team.
The locals lost the game mainly
through their fielding and lack of team
work. There were several rather hu
morous features to the game such as the
umpire getting swatted hard in the
leg in the fifth inning by a batted ball.
sending the young man to grass as if
he were a wooden man. Also young
Mr. Droegge dashed madly against the
left field fence several times in a vain
effort to capture some impossible fou
flies, Btunts highly sensational and ex
citing but absolutely worthless from
ballplaying standpoint.

The night game was merely indoor
baseball which is played the country
over during the winter altho it has never
been seen in this city before. There
was a big crowd present at this game
and apparently, everyone was satisfied
as none took advantage of the ball
team's offer to refund their money if
the game was unsatisfactory. While
interesting as a novelty it was by no
means an exhibition of baseball such as
is played by daylight. The Red Sox
proved the better team of the two in
this contest which the score would in
dicate was a poor one. The final score
was 19 to 10 in favor of the Sox.

Through the long years of hardship and battle
Ills the faithful soldier's deeds
'Nor pain.'nor woundnor wearisome strivings
Turned him from his country's needs.
Only a soldier!
After the years of battle Were orer
And the Union firm and free
With sword laid by but courage high,
A faithful watchman was he.
Still only a soldier!
From shore to shore, stretched a Ion?, high,

And death waits on careless here.
But his faithful eye. and tireless feet
Kept It safe throuh the long, long years.
Only a soldier!
Now lay him to rest 'neath his own loved flag
While his God says the welcome "well done"
We stand In awe. and breathe but prayer
May our own rest, as his be well won.
Only Hod's .soldier!

Local Saloon Men Nit on a Device to Insure
Fairness in Measure of "Growlers."
L. B. Miller, district manager of the
Toledo Computing Scale Co., was in
the city yesterday looking after the
scale business and he succeeded in in
teresting J. E. McDaniel and Adolph
Giese in a new computing scale for use
in their saloons in filling buckets or
jugs.
The new process provides for weigh
ing all beer sold in this manner. The
scales which do the work are warrant
ed to be perfectly honest in their
weights and are scales which cannot
get out of order. With the ordinary
scale there are springs which wear and
in time throw the scales out of balance.
then again they are subject to excess
of heat or cold, and in this manner
fluctuate with the temperature, render
ing them uncertain and liable to cheat
both merchant and customer.
The new scale and the one which
both Messrs. McDaniel and Giese pur
chased has no springs, but works by a
system of levers and weights. It is
impossible to get these scales out of
balance without the fact being noticed,
in which case a mere turn of a screw
throws them back into adjustment
again.
Operated Upon at Lincoln
C. B. Schleicher who is well known
in this city and vicinity, having been
employed by the Burlington for several
years, is in a hospital at Lincoln ser
iously ill. Mr. Schleicher is a son-in-law
of Chas. Miller of this vicinity, and
last Friday came down for the purpose
of making a visit to his relatives and
transacting a little business. While
here he was taken ill and Dr. Cook ad
vised him strongly against leaving for
home, but he persisted and departed
Saturday for Lincoln and Havelock.
When he arrived there he was much
worse, and a physician Deing called, it
was considered necessary that he be
operated upon for gall stones and ap
pendicitis. This was done, the appendix
being removed and five hundred and
ninety gall stones taken out. He is
resting very well and likely will recover
without trouble. No word was received
by his relatives here until yesterday
when Dr. Cook received word from Lin
coin of his condition, and at once notifi
ed Mrs. Chas. Miller who departed this
morning in company with Mrs. G. Fick-
er for his bedside. Mr. Schleicher's
many friends in this city and vicinity
all join in the hope that he will safely
pass through the crisis, and completely
recover with no ill effects. While the
performance of the two operations is
unusual, it has been done without ser
ious trouble, and this will likely be the
result in this case.

The scales have two dials. The front
one is toward the customer and records
the weight of your purchase. For in
stance, if four pounds of a liquor is de
sired, the receptacle is set on the scale
and the weight shows plainly on the
dial toward the customer as well as
townrd the seller. As the liquor is
poured into the receptacle the dial re
cords the increased weight, and when
the correct amount is reached a turn of
the faucet prevents the merchant los
ing on his goods, as well as shows the
purchaser that he is getting full meas
ure. On the merchant's side of the dial is
a scale of prices which computes for
him the amount the weight comes to
at a fixed price. It is a wonderful
machine and one calculated to make
friends for a merchant after it is un
derstood. There is no chance of short
weight when this machine is used, and
it only a question of time when they
will be adopted in all stores as their
customers learn to realize their value
to them.
Mr. Miller intends to revisit the city
again soon, when he can doubtless
place more of these machines.
