That there should be more care avofAtcad in c i n ir i V. o ctroata an1 especially in the business section is clearly apparent to anyone who has clearly apparent to anyon taken any time to look the proposi tion over. This is especially true as applied to children. One instance of the danger to the little folks was shown Saturday in front of the Journal office. The cen ter of the street was well filled with parked cars and one family was en gaged in getting their Ford tuned up preparatory to starting for home when a young chiid, probably eight years old, belonging to the family, decided to start out to look for ad ventures and without looking where he was going darted out from the line of parked cars and started to ward the sidewalk, apparently not looking where he was going, a car coming down the street at this time and the children ran out right in the path of the car and it is a miracle almost that the little boy was not killed and as it was he was struck by the fender of the car and thrown backwards and this saved him from injury.

In the batting department of the game William Patrick O'Donnell was the bright particular light, as he succeeded in laming one of the slants of the visiting pitcher for a circuit drive and also scored Pete Herold. who was gently resting on the base when the blow of William fell in the opening inning of the game. Harry Newman played a fast field ing game and added new laurels for his team by his clever covering of his position. For the Omaha team Stacy, in the center garden, was the star as he robbed the Colts of a number of what looked like clean hits, by daring catches near the fence. The game was interesting thruout and when the visitors took a lease of life in the sixth inning and be- came threatening the Colts tighten - ed up and held them down to their up four lone tallies LAND VALUES FALL From Tuesdays Dally.
