i. PLATTSMOUTH SOI I-WEEKLY JOURNAL. PAGE 2. THURSDAY, SFPTEMHKK 23, W.R. C. ENTER TAINED AT THOM AS WILES HOME From Wednesday's Dally. Yesterday afternoon some forty members of the Woman's Relief Corps and friends, and a number of the members of the G. A. R. wended their way to the pretty home of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Wiles, where the regular monthly social meeting of the W. R. C. was to be held, with Mesdames J. R. Lee, H. C. Vanllorn and Wiles as the hostesses. Those fortunate enough to be present declare them to be most excellent entertainers. All anticipate a royal time whenever invited to the Wiles home, as Mrs. Wiles and her assitsant hostesses usualy devote a great deal of their time to the plan ning and preparation, and this can surely be said of the W. R. C. social meeting held yesterday afternoon. A portion of the afternoon was devoted to a number of games and contests which the hostesses had planned and prepared for the entertainment of their guests. These games and con tests were entered into with much in terest and .enthusiasm and afforded the guests much pleasure. As stated before, a number of the members of the G. A. R. were present, and a num ber of the old army songs were sung by the entire company, which were very much enjoyed by all. For the occasion the parlors of the Wiles home had been very prettily decorated with a generous use of small flags. The hostesses had prepared a regular din ner, anil at a convenient time this was served in cafeteria style. It was a mo.-t delicious dinner and most thor oughly relished and appreciated by the guests. SERIOUS FIRE AT THE C.R, TODD HOME WEST OF PLATTSMQUTH From Saturday's Dailv. Yesterday afternoon quite a serious tire occurred at the farm home of C. R. Todd, west of this city, which re suited in the destruction of a small l.arn on the farm, as well as the burning in quite a serious manner of their little :-year-old son. Theodore. As far as can be learned the fire was caused by the use of matches by Fred, a 4-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Todd, who, with his little brother, had ac companied their mother out to gather up egjrs, and the older boy secured some matches unknown to the mother and proceeded to light them, with the re.-uit that the hay was son aflame and the small barn burninp: quite rapidly. The mother misled Theodore and rushing to the burning building rescued him, but he had received quite serious burns on the left shoulder and arm, as well as on the face. There was nothing in the barn save hay and two setts of harness, as the horses had been turned out earlier in the day, and therefore escaped the fire, but the structure was burned to the ground As soon as possible medical assist ance was summoned for the injured boy and he was made as comfortable as possible, but is still suffering con siderably from the injuries. TOLD LITTLE BOY TO "SIT THERE FOR THE PRESENT" From Wednesday's tal1y. An amusing story is told of one of the little folks attending the primary class of Miss Amelia Martens at the Central building, and which is well worth relating. It seems on the open ing day of school a little lad arrived to start in on his education, and be ing a new pupil was led to a seat by the teacher, who told him, "You may sit here for the present." The little boy was perfect in his conduct that day and kept an eager eye on the teacher, and when school was dismiss ed returned home with a rather disap pointed expression on his face, and when asked by his mother as to the cause replied: "The teacher told me to sit in a peat for the present, but did not give me the present." The lit tie boy was then told there were pres ent and presents and the difference in what the teacher ment and his idea of her statement. Elks Hold Session. From Wednesday Danr. The meeting of the Elks' lodge last evening at their club house on North Sixth street was attended by a very large number of the members and a very interesting meeting was enjoyed.

WILD DUCKS ALONG THE RIVER VERY PLENTIFUL From Wednesday's Irai'y. Reports as to the condition of the wild ducks along the Missouri river state that they are more plentiful than for years, which has caused mar.y of the hunters to get ready 'their trusty guns for an excursion onto them. The residents along the bottoms on the Iowa side of the river state that they are more plentiful than for twenty five years past. The season has been one that has provided plenty of feed for the wild fowl along the river, and the fact that the hunting of ducks wai checked by the federal government in the past two years has allowed them to multiply. Reports made are of the opinion that the blue-wing teal are the most plentiful, although the pintails are reported as being quite numerous by the Iowa game wardens, who are quite active in the supervision of the shooting along the Iowa bottoms.

The booster base ball game yester day drew out one of the largest crowds of the season, and the en thusiasm of the fans knew no bounds, as the attendance demonstrated, and early in the afternoon the crowd be gan to wend their way toward the ball park, and when the Burlington band, which had donated their services for the occasion, marched to the grounds the citizens in general, who had closed their offices and stores, followed and helped swell the crowd, which ranged from 1,000 to 1,200, and the rest room fund of the Commercial club will re alize a neat sum as the result of the at U nuance. The contest itself was one filled with feeli rg and much excitement as the Avoca allies proceeded to get busy and take a lead on the Sox, which was tied after great cffoit, and was finally won by the Red Hose team, when Louie Smith scored in the ninth in ning o:i . blocked tall through- the changing a ball by the Avoca twirl er, Andrews, and the final result of the game fas 2 to 1 inN favor of the Sox. The game throughout was filled with rag chewing ami several times the Avoca legions were off the grounds, first over the crowd making a demonstration, and secondly over the decisions of Umpire Waters in call ing Fahenstock out at the home plate in the sixth inning. The game was a tine display of the pitching ability of the two mound artists, ir: which Hayes for the locals retired eleven of the allies through the strike-oiit route and did not give a pass to first, while Andrews, who came from Dodge, the home of Joe Steeker, "o: the game, whiffed eleven of the Sox, but walked four of th? local lads, and one of these proved his undoing and tied the game up. as Huff, in the sixth, after being walked, was able to score on the scratch hit of Smith to first base. In the opening Masenian hit a grounder to Pa out at first; Ei "iott and was thrown ston hit to left fiel 1 safely; Fahenstock struck out; Har mon rethed throusrh being hit by a batted ball. For the Sox, Heal led off ;:n l was hit by Andrews, was sacrific ed to second by Parriott, who was out, Andrews to Masenian; Ilerold was out on a high fly to Fahenstock, and Real was put cut whiie trying.to steal third base. In the .-tcond Ossenkop was struck out; Rains retired. Pari iott to Craig, and Larson was out on a little irround er to Hayes. For the Red Sox. Ma son started the hostilities by placing a safety through shortstop, and ' was sacrificed by Huff to second base; Paiker struck out. and when Louie Smith was safe on an error at first it looked jrood for Mason to score, but he was unable to gt t in from the sec ond sack in time and was held at third base, where he remained. Craig was walked, but Hayes ended the inning by a little grounder that Maseman handled, while Andrews covered first. The thin! inning was an easy one for both sides, as the batters were put out in rapid succession. Gruber, who was on for the allies, was struck out by Hayes; Andrews was retired, Hays to Craig, and Maseman fell a vjetim to the s;ar.ts of Mr. Hayes. Real, leading off for the Sox, was walked, and was followed by Parriott, who at tempted to bunt and was put out; Ilerold lifted a high fly to Fahen stock at short and Mason struck out. The foutth inning saw the visitors nail the first score of the game after Easton had been retired on a strike out. Fahenstock, the fast shortstop of the visitors, secured n safe hit over second base; Harmon struck out, but Fahenstock had advanced around to third, and when Ossenkop hit to Park er and the bail was heaved wild to first base. Fahenstock scored; Rains was hit by Hayes, but Larson retired the side by a hit to Huff at second In the locals half of the inning there was nothing doing, as Huff, Parker and Smith were retired in order. In the fifth Gruber was out on fly to left garden that Mason secured; Andrews struck out and Maseman was out on a fly to third. Craig, the first man up for the locals, struck out; Hayes hit to first and was safe on an error; Beal placed one to Maseman which was grabbed, but Parriott se cured a nice safe one over first base, but the side was retired when Ilerold was out, Andrews to Maseman. The big sixth inning was the most thrilling of the game, as it was here that both sides exerted themselves to score, ard the Sox annexed their run that made the game a tie. Easton was easy on a strikeout, but Fahenstock again got busy and put one to Huff at second which was hard to handle and the runner was safe at first; Harmon was out on a fly to left garden, and Ossenkop hit to first, and Fahenstock was called out at home when tagged by Ilerold on the throw of Craig. The Red Sox, with renewed vigor, proceed ed to get busy, with the assistance of Andrews, the allies slab man. who was very generous to the locals in this in ning. Mason was struck out; Huff was walked, as was also Parker; Louie Smith, by placing a safety to the first base territory', was able to score Huff: Craig was out on a fly to first base and Hayes was caught out on a foul to Rains. This inning served to cheer immensely the hopes of the locals for winning and the game was played with much more vim thereafter. The seventh was short and sweet, Rains flying out to Smith in the right garden; Larson ietired, Parker to Craig, and Gruber struck out. For the Red Sox, Beal, Parriott and Ilerold all retired through the strikeout route. In the eighth there was not much doing, as both sides were not hitting heavily, as both Hayes and Andrews were wo: king at their best. Andrews led oil with a fly to Huff at second; Maseman hit a slow one to sec ond that allowed him to annex first base safely, but it did him no good, as Easton struck out and Fnhne stock failed to deliver the needed hit and was retired at first on a ground er. For the Sox, Mason struck out; Huff was put o :t on a hit from Lar son to Maseman; Parker struck out. The last inning was the one that told the tae and brought, down on the head of Umpire Waters the ire of the visitors in sustaining the action of the Sox in scoring when Andrews threw the bail he had been pitching with out of the diamond, when the umpire shoidd retiie the ball from play For the allied forces, Harmon placed a nice drive to left field, which was dropped by Mason; Ossenkop struck out; Rains hit to third and was safe, as an attempt was made to nail Har mon at second, which failed; Larson was out on a little grounder to An drews, and Harmon was nabbed liv ing to pilfer the third station, and Grub r ended th? innirer by a foul to Herold. Ir. Plittsmouth's half of the inning Smith hit to Fahtnstock. who was not able to field the ball in time and the runner was safe at first; Ciairr advanced Smith to second on a sacrifice, and on a passed bull he reached third, where he was when Hayes, who was i.t bat, motioned him to score on the blocked baa play of Andrews, and with this run the game was declared in favor of the Red Sox SIOUX GITY COUPLE MARRIED IN THIS CITY YESTERDAY Ye&tenlay Jud, upon to unite in e Pee son v marriage : as called t his of John P.. fice in the court house Mr. Jackson and Miss Alice C.
