South Side Merchants Lose Game byj
the Score of 12 to 2 Locals
Hit' Very Heavy.
From Monday's rallv
Yesterday afternoon the local base
ball team added to tlieir batting av
erages when they demolished the
hopes of the South Side Merchants
of Omaha by the score of 12 to 2. The
Rimo was featured by the general
heavy hitting of the local batsman
and the hurling of McCarty.
The slab work of Joe McCarty was
par excellent and twelve of the visi
tors were retired via the strike out
route and the young hurler deserved
to have a Fhut out on the visitors
had it not been for several errors in
the fourth fr: mo that saved the visi
tors from a shutout.
In the sticking department Houos
Newman. Art and Herb Klauschie
and Pete Herold featured with sev
eral hits apiece, the two Klauschies,
Newman, and O'Donnell being for
extra bases.
The game was early decided as the
locals after retiring tlieir foes in
the opening stanza proceeded to un
limber their bag of tricks on Mr. Car
per who was doing the hurling Tor
the Merchants. O'Donnell opened the
inning by striking out while William
Harvey Mason placed a hot one in
the short territory that was juggled
and started the wreck. Art Klauschie
then came up and hit one on the nose
for two bases and scoring Mason.
Herb Klauschie had a part of his
frame gt into the patli of one of
Carper's slants and was sent to first.
Harry Newman awoke the natives
with a drive to the eenterfield fence
that scored both the Klauschies and
as Ilonos reached third on the hit
a wild heave to that base allowed
him to go on home. Herold was also
hit by Carper and sent to first and
worked his way around until he was
able to steal home on the badly rat
tled team of the visitors.
The Merchants did their scoring
in the fourth stanza of the game.
Kutlick getting a base on balls off
"IcCarty and was able to score with
Miller on a number of errors. Miller
hit with Kutlick trying to reach
second and a bad throw by O'Donnell
to second gave him the base and
Miller was also safe. Roth runners
advanced when Black sent out a
roller on which an attempt was made

to catch kutlick at the third base
but Art Klauschie failed to field th
ball and the runner was safe and
was able to score on the 11 y of Sterba.
Mason made two very sensational
catches on this inning in the left
garden that checked the threaten
ing scoring of the visitors. Miller
registered on a bad play at third and
closed the effort of the Omaha aggre
gation, as they did not threaten to
become dangerous in the rest of the
game.
la the siyth inning Peter Herold
ai.aiii secured a walk from Carper
and was able to reach third when
Svoboda was safe on an error at
third base and Pete again stole the
home base from the visitors. Harvey
being unable to hold the ball on the
throw of Carper to the plate.
The locals scored in the seventh
and "eighth innings for a total of
five runs and destroyed any hopes
that the visitors might have had of
winning the game. In the seventh
Mason, the first man up was hit by
Carper and was then sacrificed to
second by Art. H. Klauschie was
cut on a long fly to the left garden
and Newman was given a pass to
first base. Herold hit to right field
and scored Mason and Newman and
he himself later on the hit of Svo
boda to center.
In the eighth Art Klauschie sing
led to right garden and scored when
Herb Klauschie doubled to left field.
Herb scoring on the single of Herold
to the center field.

Fireworks Dis
play to be a Big
Drawing Card
More Beautiful Rockets and Bombs
Than Ever Before Nine Set
Pieces Band to Play
From Wf-dnc-stlay's Dally
The big evening feature at the
Fourth of July celebration here next
Monday will be the fireworks display
to be fired at the baseball park near
the river front, where they will be
visible from every surrounding hill
side. The display this year was pur
chased at a tost considerably in ex
cels of the amount heretofore spent
on this feature of the celebration,
and includes some most beautiful
aerial effects, among them more of
the two and three break bombshells
than heretofore. Increased beauty
in rockets has also been striven for,
and instead of the plainer kinds, a
g)odly number of national streamer,
floating festoon, hanging chain, par
achute, weeping willow, searchlight
and peacock plume designs have been
secured.
There will be the same number of
bombshells aud rockets as in last
year's display, but the increased size
and beauty has made the price con
siderably in excess of any prior dis
play. Improvement in the arenic display
has also been striven for, and the
mammoth fountains, floral bombs,
batteries, mines, etc., are among the
best on the market.
Due to congested space, cars will
not be admitted to the ball park. The
grandstand and bleachers will afforjl
seats for many spectators, but beyond
that the crowd will be forced to
stand during the display, as the gate
will positively be barred to cars.
The display will start promptly at
S:3o. Prior to that time, the band
will be on the field to play a number
of snappy inarch tunes, ending with
the Star Spangled Banner as a sig
nal for firing to begin.
Following is the order of fire, the
set pieces being listed in capital let
ters:

IOWA LUMBERMAN HERE
From "Wednesday's Dally
This morning Davis Greenwood,
well known Iowa lumber dealer, who
has a large yard at Emerson, was here
for a short time, driving through with
Mrs. Greenwood to Osceola, Nebraska,
where they will visit their son,
Charles, who is located at that place
with a well established lumber yard.
Mr. and Mrs. Davis Greenwood are
among the best known residents of
Mills county where their families have
long been very active and both were
formerly residents of Silver City
where the .father of Mr. Greenwood
was a pioneer banker and the Pull
man family, of which Mrs. Greenwood
is a daughter, were among the most
prominent; residents of northern Mills
county. While here Mr. and Mrs.
Greenwood were callers at the Jour
nal for a short time, they being oldl
friends of R. A. Bates, the publisher
of the Journal.
There will be no fizzles if
you get your Fireworks at the
Bates Book Store. Big, new
fresh stock just unpacked.
SAYS WAS WRONG
From Tuesday's Dally
The Journal a few clays ago pub
lished an item that Merton Scott of
Weeping Water had been arrested on
a charge of non-support of his wife
and was released under a $400 bond
to guarantee that he would not re
peat the offense. This seems to be
slightly in error, as Mr. Scott was
not charged with failure to support
his wife, it is claimed, but because
he failed to support two minor chil
dren and was required to put up the
$4 00 bond.
