The Greenwood t?am started in right away in the opener to do things with the Manley boys and kept it up all the way through the battle. Pete Jardine and Landon were both re tired when Armstrong started the fireworks by a rap to left field and while he was resting on first E. Jar dine lammed one of Klepser's best over into one of the neighboring yards that secured , him three sacks and had it not been for his injured leg he, could easily have made a home run. Manley was fired by their oppon ents' hitting and tried to do some thing in their half of the opener, and had it not been for the clever and fast triple play that Pete Jardine started at third base, they would probably have succeeded. The Manley team started out on Brer Cope in hard shape as Ash beat out a little infield hit, G. Hopkins and Sheehan both hitting safe to center, and with the bases full, Russell, the clean-up artist, came to bat filled with con fidence and hope that died as he lined oe to Jardine at third base, who made a fine fly catch, stepped on the bag and retired Ash who was loiter ing on toward home and threw the ball to second where he nipped Hop kins who had also strayed away from the sack. This retired the side and was the best chance the Manleyites had of scoring in the battle. The fifth saw the final destruction of the hopes of Manley when five runs were garnered by the west Cass county town. Pete Jardine opened the inning with a poke at third that Sheehan failed to handle and started the fire works as Landon sacrificed Jardine to second. Armstrong then enlivened the game with one hot fly down into the fields of waving corn that sur round the outfield and on which Jar dine scored while Armstrong reach ed third base. E. Jardine hit again into the right field and scored Arm strong, advancing when Kelly hit safe over first base and tallying when Stradley hit safe out into the right garden. Griffin hit safe to right and scored the remaining of his team mates. In the ninth inning Greenwood lost two very ciose ueciMuu at me m.

From Tuesday's Daily Late last evening the night police force was called out to investigate u case that seems rather complicated and which the officers of the law have not as yet entirely got straightened out. The call for the police came from the Hotel Perkins and when the police arrived there they found the storm center of the affair had .van ished from the Bcene after treating more or less excitement with parties who were living at the hotel. The police had related to them a story of this man, who it is claimed hails from Murray, having pent threatening letters to a man and bis wife who have just recently located at the hotel to reside, and which was followed last evening by a personal visit to the scene of action and a wordy battle at least between the members of the party. From the story as related at the hotel, it seems to be that the man came there and not being known to the management was allowed to re main in the hotel for some time, go ing to the parlor on the second floor and sitting there for a time. Nearby is the room occupied by the parties whom the man is alleged to have been annoying for some time. The lady had left the room, when the man hurriedly left the parlor and entered the apartments where the husband was then preparing to retire, at once a very warm and exciting time ensued with threats alleged to have been made toward the husband and also the wife by the Invader. In order to get rid of the unwelcome caller the police were called but ere they arrived the disturber in the case had taken flight and returned to Mur ray or some other place unknown. As the man was not caught in the act of the disturbance it is possible that a-complalnt will be made against him and the authorities will then have the power to take some action anil have the matter more thoroughly sifted out and further trouble avoid ed. The affair created more or less ex citement around the hotel where the first Intimation of the affair . was when the storm swept out in full fury and the law was called to the scene. GIVES PLAYERS A TREAT From Monday's Dany The Manley baseball team and management provided a very pleas ant treat yesterday to their guests of the Plattsmouth baseball team af ter the close of the conflict in which the Munley boys were the winners.
