PLATTSMOUTH WINS FROM THE SPRINGFIELD NINE Locals Have Long End of 11 to 6 Sccre Plattsmouth Has One Bad Inning. From Monday's Daily The Plattsmouth baseball team yesterday afternoon was the victor in a long drawn out battle at Spring field up amid the cornfields of Sarpy county and judging from the action of some of the "sports" of the vil lage, the "corn" was not all in the fields. The locals had little difficulty in winning and the score at the end was 11 to 6. although it should have been 11 to 1. The Springfield team secured five of their runs in the sixth inning and which were gifts from the Plattsmouth team, playing a very demoralized quality of ball. The game was witnessed by a very good sized crowd considering the fact that Springfield is just recover ing from their three day picnic that has taken up the greatest amount of the time of the residents and caus ed many of them to rest on Sunday. The Plattsmouth team snagged one in the second frame of the game when Newman scored on a hit thru third, a sacrifice and a safety. The game looked good for a small score until in the fifth when the lo cals begin to unload their heavy ar tillery on the ball artists of Bill Kieck's town and soon made the score assume a more healthy hue. Ed Gradoville opened the inning with a hard rap to center and William Pat- rick O'Donnell, the tall fisherman from the right garden, also planted one out in the oats stubble which brought Ed to third and when Mc Carty hit thru short Gradoville scored and O'Donnell progressed over i to third. William Harvey Mason elrew a walk from Polenz. the Ta pillion lad who was trying to check , the onslaught and O'Donnell glided over the rubber with the much need-1 ed run. Swanson, the mound artist i of Plattsmouth, was hit in the by one of Polenz's wild pitches leg sent to first by the umpire. Pete Ilerold hit through the pitcher's Lox for a safety and on which Mason scored. This ended the "agony for this period of the game. The Springfield team scored their firat trHv in tbf fourth innins when J - Koop. three sacks and while Plattsmouth was retiring one or tne succeeding runners at nrst uase. ne scoreu. me decision was close but the umpire gave the ipringtieiu man tne tiene-; fit of the doubt. The sixth inning was the dark! oie for Plattsmouth and while there vas no reason ior it tne ioca:s were badly Mown up in this one stanza and allowed five runs to be made and fully that many errors to be checked up. The Sarpy lads, realiz ing the fact that just to hit the ball was the pane as getting en safely, made good use of the willow. How ever, the inninsr was finally closed and left the Sarpy county team lead ing the score 6 to 4. In the seventh the Plattsmouth team came back strong and tied up the rcore. McCarty was passed by Polenz and was advanced when Ma son hit safely to center field. Swan son hit through shortstop for two sacks and registered McCarty, Ma son reaching third, and when Her old hit to center. Mason scored on the thrown in, tying the score. The eiehth was a verv rough ex-! CTino-fioiri niavpr? ' as the locals loosened up on Mr. Pol-i enz and added to their list of scores) -ji-V.ir'li (Toufl tliom ilio lonH in the strncgle. Ed Gradoville was walked nnri OTonr.ell who was attemntinc: to land on one of Polenz's slants, was hit "in the same place" as he! announced as the outdrop alighted ! on his person.

The ninth inning added to the bur dens of Old Man Elodgett and his crew from west Sarpy as the visitors from south of the Platte scored three more to the good. Herb Klauschie hit throutrh third with a blow that was not to be stopped. Hans New man was retired on a fly to center which Gotsch grabbed easy. Ed Gradoville hit safe to short and O'Donnell was also safe at first on an infield hit. Joe McCarty wrecked the machinery of the sition with a rap to center that scored both Klauschie and Grado ville. Mason drew a walk and Swan son hit over second for a clean one that scored O'Donnell. Herold and Frank Gradoville closed the inning with outs. PIANO INSTRUCTION On September 1st. Miss Olive Gass will begin the fall term of her class In music Harmony and musical his - tory taught.
