To r small crowd yesterday morn ing the Havelock and Plattsmoutli shops teams played a fairly good game of ball at time and then there were soft spots in the execution, that distracted from the science but add ed to its mirth. Robertson, . the third baseman of the visitors was the first man up. and he swatted the ball, working his way around to third, when Smith their second baseman, gave it a two bagger, and Robertson was home. Smith died trying to make third, and Tighe and Egan were fanned out. With our boys Noble got to third, but died there, while Dalton was able to make a run. Hula saw second, Boggs first, and Long was grounded. "With the visitors it was at bat and out until the seventh innning, when Egan got to second, but no farther, Koll got to second on the eighth and Tighe in the ninth, was accorded third, with nothing else doing in their line. In the third Noble, Dal ton and Hula, each tallied, and Winger in the fourth, while Hula added another in the fifth, that was all. Nice clean game, all agreeable, both side.

This game was a hummer, and good ball was played aJiuost all the time, but with a little of bad tac tics, on the part, of some of the visitors, so much so that the game was lost to the home team on account of it. During the first five innings of the visitors they did not see first base, but in the sixth, they slipped Young and Rice over the home plate, did it nicely, they both getting two baggers. Ford, was fanned in the beginning, and Jones grounder out, but. on a single by Kennedy, the second run was made. Then Guin nee. grounded out. This gave them a littMe more pep, but they,, never was any where near the home plate again, for second was as far as they got. With our boys,, the two first in nings were barren of results, even on reaching first, but in the third, Edwards was hit by a ball, and when he stole second, lost it by being off his guard. Poisall was given a walk, and got to second to die there, while Grassman and Real werd not allowed to see first. In the fourth. Smith got a single and work ed his way to third. Jeff was fanned, and Herold on a single got to sec- end. Stimpson grounded out, and Mason flew out, leaving Smith on third. In the fifth and sixth they drew a blank, nothing in sight, not even first. In the seventh, was the in terest developed, and the excitement ran high with Herold struck out, Stimpson got a single and by a nar row margin got to first, while Mason was at the bat, made second. Mason was bit by the ball, and given first. Edwards got a walk, whicji filled the bases, Poisall got a slap at the ball. bringing Stimpson in and Mason to third easily, but Haller the short stop for the visitors ran into Mason on the line fouling him in the stom ach, which made him unable to get to the home plate and had to lie down on third, this unknown to Edwards caused him to run up on third, and was put out between bases. This was a dirty trick, and in aiming to be fair, the Ump was more than fair or less than fair, and would not allow what would have been given the Sox the run for the one fouled and advanced the follow ing player to third, which would have made the game a tie. Nothing happened afterwards and the visitors carried off the credit, and the extra 20 per cent. While this was Labor Day, a hol; day. and nothing else to do but see the game it was not attended as well as it should have been, considering what the association here and the boys who play, are doing to turirsh some clean wholesome sport to the public.

Corey, aged five years, arrived from Los Angeles, having left his home last Friday, and met his father, Leon T. Cory, Sr.. at Omaha last evening. Thev came down to Plattsmouth on a lat er train, and visited at the Perkins Hotel with the Cory's here over night, and yesterday morning de parted for Sac City, Iowa, their old home, where the little fallow is anxious to see his g'-andmother, whom he has not seen for oivr a year. The father says you may guess that he was glad to see me when the train rolled "in last night at. Omaha. Little Leon is a lino litle chap, and made a host of friends on the train in his trip across the country. SUNDAY SCHOOL PICNIC. Yesterday, at the grove of Mr. A. C. Harvey, in the northwestern por tion of the city, was held the annual picnic of the Christian Sunday school. There were a large number of the scholars of the school present. For the children excellent swings had been provided and they hastened to avail themselves of this pleasure. There were games of all kinds, and at the appointed hour all Gathered around the festive board, which, in this ease was the green sward, each having contributed his bit to the general fund, and all partaking .of the sumptuous dinner, thereby pro vided. Last Sunday was the closing day of the contest which had been going on for the past few months. The honors of the contest went to John Standres class, and Superinten dent Hudson presented the class with a fine watermelon. The school will also give a present to this class dur ing the Sunday school hour next Sunday. BALL FOR NEXT SUNDAY. The Breslins of Omaha, a team which played good ball here about a month ago, and which walloped the Red Sox, are coming back for an other trv with us. You who like a good game come and see this one. There has been a large number of seats vacant for the last few games, and the boys are trying to put up a good game and furnish amusement for the citizens. Why not come out' and encourage them with your pres ence and what other support you can give them. The citizens have a part in making the base ball games here a success, as well as the boys who play. Remember the Breslins and the Red Sox game next Sunday. GEORGE SUPERCEDES CARL. Carl Renner, the young man, who has so faithfully looked after the business of checking baggage, keep ing the Burlington passenger station clean, and who has been general Jiandy man, has thought that there was more money and a better op portunity for- advancement in the shops, and accordingly made the change thereunto. George Becker, who can do anything from driving a hearse, to collecting bad accounts, has accepted the postion and we are sure he will make good in the position. DRAFTED MEN MUST TAKE BUT FEW THINGS Washington, D. C, Sept. 3. All drafted men of the first 5 per cent contingent who will leave Wednes day for mobilization camps are, di rected in regulations issued today to take a minimum of civilian clothing and personal belongings. Toilet articles, towels and hand kerchiefs are recommended and no objection will be made to two changes of underclothing, but other articles are frowned upon. Attention is called to the fact that civilian clothing will be discarded when camp is reached and to those not desiring to send such apparel back home it was suggested that clothing not worth keeping be worn. The men may carry only light hand baggage on the'train and, as suit cases and hand bags will not be al lowed for permanent use at camp. articles may be carried in bundles if desired. Before reporting to the local board drafted men should have their hair cut very short; should be bathed and wear clean clothing. To insure quick communication with his family, each recruit is ad vised to provide himself with post cards or stamped envelopes. MISS HIRZ RETURNS FROM WEST. Miss Lena Hirz, returns after a two months stay in Utah, and is ac companied by Miss Marie Prohaska. who came out and spent two weeks with her. They both are employes of the H. M. Soennischsen Daylight store. Miss Hirz, first went to Salt Lake City, where her mother and sdster. Mrs. J. V. Egenberger Jr., lives, ;;nd where he is engaged in the bakery business. Here Miss Hirz visited all the wonderful places, such as the Mormon temple, and Mas greatly im pressed with the musicales which they gave. She took many a dip in Salt Lake, and tells of it being im- posible to drown therein. The water is so thoroughly saturated with salt that one is buoyed up so it is not possible to get under the water. The place where they go in bath ing is from three to six feet deep, but in some places it is over a hund red feet in depth. She visited in Magna, which is eighteen miles from Salt Lake City, and there they met Cecil Thomas, whose wife, formerly Miss Minnie Stohlman, is a cousin of Miss Hirz. Here they also met. Gale Connor and wife. Mrs. Connor, formerly being Miss Lena Droege, Carl and Emil Droege also lived there, and there Miss Hirz had a fine time. She also visited at Garfield, but there knew no one, but went to see the gigantic smelters which are located there. For the last two weeks, "Miss Marie Prohaska, was with her and the two had a fine time seeing the country and 'sights together. They arrived home early Saturday morning. DRIVES CAR UP PIKE'S PEAK. Verner Perry, of Wabash, think ing it a good time to take a vaca tion, came to this city about three weeks since and bought a Paige car. of his friend, W. E. Propst, and with his wife and two children, and F. M. McCrcan', wife and one child de parted for the west. Going thru Nebraska; for considerable distance, and then into Kansas, across which they traveled, going to Colorado Springs, where they visited for some time, taking in Colorado City and Manitou, with the wonders sur rounding' this summer desort. Look ing up at the top of Pike's Peak, they concluded they would like to go up there, and so turned the car in. that direction. While the cog road is only nine miles from the foot of the mountain, to the top the auto road is twenty-four miles but with the load of seven passengers made it to the top, and saw the glories of the sunrise. From there they went to Denver and staying in that city for a few days, came back by the way of EEtes Park, and thence to Cheyenne, and on into Nebraska traveling thru this state the rest of the way home Thev were away for three Avceks, and report having had an excellent time. Obey the Law. Order your Osgood Lens. Plattsmouth Garage. All sizes RED CROSS MARKET. Last Saturdaythe Red Cross mar- wet, which was hel:l at the Rest Room in the Riley Hotel, proved a grand sucess. At nine in the morning they were doing a good business, with the delicious pies, cakes, bread, doughnuts and coffee cakes, came pouring in very gener ous quantities. Patriotic women who did not care to bake, brought their contribution in the shape of silver dollars, and often more, help ed to swell the receipts. AH the women were busy, and working diligently to help swell the fund, which was the object of the sale. The committee having direct charge of the sale were Mesdames, Rae Patterson. Frank D;jnbar. D. C. Morgan. P. C. Miner, Madame Lcete, and Mrs. Henry Schneider, all of whom worked hard for Red Cross success, which they achieved. Seventy-five dollars was realized at the sale, and which is a testimony in behalf of the layalty of the women. We would like to urge upon the women of the city to get ln-hind this movement, and especially tiie matter of the knitting, which should be done right away. The Red Cross wants the co-operiuion of every woman in Plattsmouth. in this work. A work which concerns all and so pressing that it cannot bo postpon ed. "Do your bit. Learn to Knit; For a Sailor Or a Soldier's Kit." GAVE THE SOYS A FAREWELL DINNER A number of the citizens today gave a dinner to the departing bovs who wore called for J he h'r.t of the draft, and who were Carl Dalton. Alex F. Munger, Oswold T. Miller, Leo H. Tighe and Hall A. Pollard, at the Hotel Riley, and at which there were in attendance a large number of the citizens of Platts mouth. After the dinner. Mayor .1. 1. Sattler. the chairman, in a few chosen remarks, thanked the boys for the sacrifice which they had made in going, and asked C. A. Rav.les to address them. Mr. Rawls said, that he was highly plear.cd to be in attendar.ee, and that he came as a testimony to the loyalty of these young men who had volunteer ed to go to the front, fr the coun try's sake, and that lie conceived of nothing more ennobling than that oTie should sacrifice for another or for common good it being, following the example of the one who sacri ficed his life that we might live. His remarks was frequently punc tured by applause. He was followed by Judge J. T. Begley,' and also expressed his thanks for the sacrifice, and said. while speaking that we should stand by the president in the struggle now before us, and throw part isianship to the winds. A united s-tand" for what democracy is fighting for will save freedom for the people. Mr. Theodore Hanson also added a few words of commendation and encour agement. At the train three cheers were given for the boys as they departed. and was responded to by them say ing, "What is the matter with Plattsmouth" and answering "Platts mouth is all right." COMES IN NICHE OF TIME. West ley Bookmeyer, who has been "batching it" for some time while the folks have been visiting in Lincoln, was agreeably surprised yesterday when his cousin and her husband, Mr. and Mrs. Ed Rindo. of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, dropped in upon him for a visit. Wesley was getting along very poorly with the cooking and the arrival of one of the finest of cooks made the smile return to his generally jovial features. Mr. Rindo and wife have just been visiting in Oklahoma, where they have a good farm, and will visit here, for a short time before they return to their home in Iowa. They have a 320 acre farm near Cedar Rapids which they refus ed $70,000 for just recently. FARM FOR SALE. The Beins homestead, 3 miles south of . Plattsmouth. Inquire of E. W.
