OPENING GAME OF

McKinney Dentists of Omaha Sent to
Defeat by Score of 10 to 3 in
a One Sided Contest.
From Monday's Da!ly.
Yesterday afternoon John Wolf's
team of baseball artists made their
debut for the 1923 season with the
McKinney Dentists of Omaha as their
opponents and as the result of the
combat the teeth fixers were trimmed
by the decisive score of 10 to 3.
The game was a long, drawn out
affair and much time was consumed
by the visitors in the work of their
battery as well as the wildness of
their hurler, Vern.er Rand, former
was held at the school house on Sat
urday evening.
The affair was well arranged and
showed much skill on the part of
those participating in the various
features and was greeted by an audi
ence that packed the school house to
its capacity.
The little folks gave a few recita
tions and then the feature of the eve
ning was announced the minstrel
show. The orchestra, composed of
Mr. and Mrs. Ed Ruby and sons.
Floyd and Bernard, furnished a very
pleasing selection as the curtain was
called and the strains of "In the Eve
ning by the Moonlight" announced
the fact that the minstrel show was
on. the entire company joining In

All that remains to be done. Mol

to select the referee. A dozen of the
most prominent referees in the coun
try have been discussed, he added.
Articles of agreement will be sign

York or Chicago, Molumby indicated.
He said he expected Kearns to come
here to conclude the formalities but
that if he did not Molumby expected
to go to New York by airplane.
Molumby flew from Montana to
Chicago by airplane in an effort to
land the fight for the Montana Le

associated with Molumby in arrang

Molumby here last Friday, Dempst y's
manager returned to New York with
out an agreement.
While the agreement under which
Dempsey will fight was not an
nounced by Molumby, it was learned
that the champion will be handed a
check for $100,000 as soon as the
articles are signed. It was intimated
that Kearns had agreed to a plan
providing for a guarantee for Demp

The record of the Pied Piper of
Hamlin and other well known rat
exterminators is in danger of being
smashed by an occurrence of recent
date here which shows that while
there may be no flies in Piattsmouth
there are plenty of rats and of this
we have proof.
Recently Tony Lahoda, residing on
Wintersteen hill, was engaged in
looking after some work involving
the tearing down of an old hog shed
7x10 feet that had been standing for
a number of years and this led"to the
discovery of the large supply of rats.
When the old floor of the shed was
torn up the rats came forth, both
large and small, and 170 of the ro
dents were killed and piled up near
the scene of the slaughter and a large
number of them made their getaway
as well. This may sound like a rat
6tory but we have the statement of
one of the staid and reliable citizens
of Wintersteen hill who counted the
rats.
