Yesterday afternoon fans of this
city and a very large delegation of the
residents of our neighboring city of
Tatific Junction were given the
chance to see a real exhibition of the
national pastime that was fast and
well played by both teams.
The fielding of the Plattsmouth
team was par excellent and left the
visitors little chance to score as
Swanson. the hurling ace of the
locals, allowed but four hits that
were well scattered through the.
game. The Plattsmouth team an-j
nexed soven hits off of Flynn. thej
speedy youngster of the Junction j
team. Flynn retired four of the locals
through the strike out route while
Swanny nicked five of the visitors.
In the gifts of bases. Flynn allowed
four, walks while Swanson passed
but one.
The Plntt?mouth team started to do
business in the opening stanza with
Martin, the fat third Backer, leading
off with a clean hit over third base,
Herold sacrificed Art to second and
Herb Klauschie scored Art with a
safe poke through shortstop. Hans'
Newman, who was in his best of form
showed his spirit by slapping one of
Flynn's slants for a two sacker that j
scored Herb. McCarty and Burk.iait
closed the inning.
In the fifth the locals again made
two runs, the old combination work
ing fine in the battle, Martin hit
safe and achi nced on the .out of
Hcrold. reaching thiru on the dri "i
of Herb Klauschie and both scored
when Newman dumped one into the
center garden. Newman was caught

In the last of the seventh frame
the hopes of the Junction team arose

Martin to O'Donnell. Lee hit safe to
left and Carr followed with a ground

to catch Lee, who was called safe on
a very close play. Kerzzer was struck

From Monday" Daily
Yesteruay tne jonn uergmann
farm was the scene of a very pleas-
ant gathering on the occasion of the
annual outing of the Catholic Daugh-

cil of the Knights of Columbus, as
well as the members of St. John's
ana me noiy xtosary mmiau caiuu-
lie churches and a few of the invited
friends. J
The grove on the farm proved
ideal for the event, giving plenty of
shade from the heat of the day and
the pleasant greensward a place
where all cculd rest and enjoy a real
day's recreation and pleasure.
There were from 250 to 300 per
sons gathered at the grove and the
entire day was spent very happily by
all of the party in games and con
tests that served to furnish an enter
tainment program of more than usu
al Interest.
In the sports and games there was
no record kept of the prize winners
and for this reason the list of the
most skilful of the party must be
omitted from the record of the day's
proceedings.
The members of the jolly party
from the city were pitted against the
country members of the two parished
in a tug of war that proved the big
athletic contest of the day. It is
stated that the town contestants at
tempted to tie their end of the rope
to a tree in desperate effort to defeat
their opponents while the country
pullers secured a footing In a small
ditch that held their end of the bat
tle. In the final outcome of the tug
of war the country huskies walked
away with the honors of the day by
a wide margin.
At the noon hour the many parties
comprising families and their guests
spread well prepared and delicious
dinners in the pleasant shade and
had a real feast that was followed by
the free ice cream provided by the
committee in charge.
In the evening the committee had
arranged a cafeteria luncheon of
sandwiches and other good things
that were served and made the occa
sion one that was of unforgotten
pleasure.
So well did the committee in
charge serve their purpose that they
will probably be called upon to act
at more of these pleasant events if
the large majority of the attendants
have their wish.
A PROFOUND SORROW
From Monday's Daily
Most beflttingly, the life terres
trial of our beloved friend. Amelia,
ended near the midnight hour, on the
sacred Friday, to enter the life im
mortal. Amelia's flight into the world
beyond has shrouded our homes in
sweet meloncholr.
Thoughts beyond expression grow
when think that we are now de
prived of that warmth of true friend
ship and hospitality which was ever
felt upon entering her home.
In her lingering malady she dis
played self-control and patience,
when all bodily strength was exhaust
ed, the vigor of her mind sustained
her. Her life is spent our pilgrim
age must be.
Knowing that ruthless Time will
one day rend the veil that hides the
deep which all must cross, the etern
ity to which we trend Is made richer,
lovelier, holier for our loss.
Farewell Amelia, a long farewell!

nroDosal that has been made by the
tans in tne central pari 01 me coun -
ty for a scries of games between

ing teams when their turn comes.
That is. in the case of the games at
Plattsmouth, the team of this city
would play both Manley and Green

wood are very enthusiastic over the
proposition and believe that it can be
rnde a very pleasing success, both
in the returns to the teams and the
entertainment of the fans of the
county. Both Manley and Greenwood
rre good baseball towns and will
give the project a great boost as their
attendance and support of the game
has been strong.
