The Base Ball grounds have been
materially improved the diamond has
been skinned and
a neat little grand
stand erected for the convenience of
the ladies.
The nice shower of Thursday night
refreshed things materially and the one
of Tuesday night was much bigger and
did much more good as well as broke
the hot spell.
The Tennis fever still prevails in
Manley, the boys are out playing every
day. They also gave the grounds a
good cleaning up Wednesday and it
now stands among the best courts in
the County.
Nothing on for next Sunday at the
Base Ball Park except a fun game be-
when the locals and,the Pick ups, owing
to the fact that the pitcher for the
First Nine in last Sundays game was
hit and received a broken rib.
Rip Keckler, Manley's twiler, who
came in contact with one oi wood s
speeders and received a broken rib, is
reported feeling somewhat sore, but is
doing nicely and will be ready for
twirling a week from next Monday.
A subscription paper has been circu
ated this week for the benefit of the
base ball club. The club decided the
boys ought to put up a better appear
ance on the diamond after doin? such
splendid work as they have this season
and are going to fit them out with new
uniforms. Any one wishing to con
tribute to this cause please call at the
bank and ask for the subscription list.
We want the suits here for the game a
week from next Sunday, so be lively.
Last Saturday night some evil minded
persons took it upon themselves to show
the general cussedness that is in their
madeup to plough up the ball diamond.
Just what was their object no one
knows, but it certainly was a low piece
of work and when the guilty parties
are found out there will be something
done to have the effect to stop this kind
of rot that has been going on around
this town. Quite a sum of money has
been pledged to push the investigation
and it is hoped the guilty parties will
soon be known.
A very pleasant entertainment was
given at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Will
Pauth's last Thursday evening in honor
of their two daughters Teresa and Anna
who leave Sept. 1st for Omaha where
they will attend school.
About fifty young people were pres
ent and every one had a most pleasant
time. Refreshments were served which
immediately afterwards they bade the
girls farewell and departed to their
homes.
Manley vs. Louisville Score 4-3
A most exciting ball game was pulled
off Sunday at the park between Louis
ville and Manley which resulted in a
score of 4 to 3 in favor of the home
team. Battery for Manley O'Brien
and Keckler. Louisville Fitzgerald
and Wood. A very good game was
played and the score at the ninth in
ning was a tie. The winning score was
made by Sollie Keckler thru a nice
safe single made by Oleo Murphy.
Oleo Murphy's good fielding that day
was well worth mention.
The game was nice and clean through
out and exciting and held the onlooker
in suspense every moment and great
applause and cheering came from the
Manager
crowd profusely. The game wus wit
nessed by a crowd of 7')0 people, tin
largest ever in attendance at a ball
game in Manley.
Lorton deserves credit for no m1 um
piring. Manley's pitcher, Keckler, din
played the nerve of n enthusiastic ball
player by pitching the game through
after receiving a broken rib by being
hit with the ball while at the bat in the
first inning.

in flesh has resulted, insomnia has been
overcome, and she is steadily growing
stronger." Electric Bitters ;uickly

HITCHCOCK SEEKS FORAKER
WANTS HIM TO ADDRESS SOME.
EASTERN MEETINGS.
Ohio Senator Feels Hurt Because He
Was Not Invited to Speak
at Youngstown.
New York, Auk. 20. An effort was
made by Republican Chairman Hitch
cock Wednesday to communicate with
Senator Foraker of Ohio, who was In
the city on busineHS, but he had gone
to Washington. Uefore leaving the
city the senator indicated that he
would speak In support of the Repub
lican ticket If invited to do so under
the auspices of the national commit
tee, notwithstanding lie had not been
invited to sneak in the Ohio campaign
by the ,nen ln f.ar:e of the work in
his Rt.ite
Mr. Hitchcock will request the sena
tor to address some important iintt-
ings in the east. KailiiiK to reach the
senator here, he telt graphed to Wash
ington inviting liini to visit headquar
ters when he is again in the city ainS
expressing the wi.sh that he nifgl.t linU
it convenient to be here Boon.
Discussing the Ohio situation. Sena
tor Foraker repealed that he felt
humiliated at not having been invited
to speak at Youngstown on September
5, at the opening of the Ohio cam
paign, lie said that regardless of the
differences he had with the Roosevelt
administration concerning :eitan
questions of policy, he stood ready to
do whatever he could to advance the
interests of the national ticket.
That Senator Foraker feels keenly
the situation in which he finds him
self, he indicated to close i olitlcal
friends. He has been invited to make
a number of speeches in Ohio, but the
invitations have come from his sup
porters and he has replied that he will
Ho nothing which might prove em
barrassing to the men responsible for
the success of the nation!' ticket In
Ohio. He said that he was in sym
pathy w!th every plank of the Chicago
platform and that he was a Repub
lican despite anything said against
him by political enemies. Sine" the
publication of the cordial notes which
passed between Mr. Taft and Mr. For
aker after the former's nomination for
the presidency, many of Mr. Foraker's
friends have been working for a set
tlement of the Ohio factional fight.
"So far as the ssnatorship is con
cerned," said Mr. Foraker, "I have not
turned my hand one way or the other.
Y have not tried to Influence the elec
tion of a single member of the legisla
ture and shall not do so with a view of
bettering my chances. The thing to
do now Is to carry the national elec
tion and I certainly shall not prove a
hindrance to success, even if I am not
wanted as party to it."
