HAVEL0CK VS. PLATTS.
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. Score below:

YESTERDAY AFTERNOON.
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.

this ease was the green sward, each

general fund, and all partaking .of
the sumptuous dinner, thereby pro
vided. Last Sunday was the closing

going on for the past few months.
The honors of the contest went to

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.

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

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.

they traveled, going to Colorado
Springs, where they visited for some
time, taking in Colorado City and

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."

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
