Locals Win a
Twelve Inning
Game Sunday
Defeat Springfield by Score of 11 to
9 in Hard Battle Young
Proves Hero of Game.
From Monday's Daily
The baseball lovers of the com
munity received the full value of
their admission yesterday afternoon
in a twelve inning battle that was
staged between the Platters and the
rejuvinated Springfield team, the
visitors coming from behind in the
ninth inning to tie up the game and
forcing it into a twelve Inning strug
gle before the bat of Young, Platts
mouth third sacker. smashed a home
run and scored Spidell who was on
base through the error of Hall.
The game had seemed an easy vic
tory for the locals who had a nine to
five lead when the ninth inning open
ed but when the smoke of battle
rolled away the visitors annexed four
runs and were tied all up and forced
the extra innings.
The hitting of Young with three
bingles out of six trips to the plate
and Newman secured three out of
five times, while Pete Herold drew
three out of five and Swanson three
out of four trips to the pan, featured.
Errors were largely responsible for
the showing of the visitors and also
contributed to scoring of the Platters
as there were eight for the Platters
and six for Springfield in the mis
take column, these errors in the
ninth permitting the tying up of the
game by the boys from the picnic
town. Herold, Reichart and Spidell all hit
in the opening inning and two reg
istered on the blow of Young while
Hans Newman with a sacrifice fly to
center brought in the remaining run
of the inning.
In the second inning again Herold
and Reichart played up in the scor
ing when they each hit and both
registered.
The locals scored one in the fourth
and two in the fifth, and one in the
eighth that seemed to make victory
eertain, only to have it dashed from
their hands.
The visitors picked up one in the
second and one in the fifth and ad
vanced their total scores to five in
the sixth inning, when V. Wheeler
was safe on a bobble at second and
was able to score on the blow of E.
Adair to center and who advanced
when Joesn was able to come through
with a bingle to right and the last
score tallied when Frank Adair hit
safe through the infield.
The crowd was stretching and pre
paring to call it a day in the ninth
frame when the locals had a sudden
wobbling of their excellent brand of
ball and a hit and several errors al
lowed Springfield to push over the
needed runs for the tie.
Both sides were empty handed for
the tenth and eleventh innings and
in the eleventh frame Dunn, the
youthful hurler who had let Platts
mouth down with three hits last
Sunday was relieved by Becker, the
slow ball artist of Springfield and
who worked well until Young had
his bat in the way and broke up the
play ground for the visitors.
Swanson, altho suffering an injur
ed ankle, continued in the game for
the whole twelve innings for the lo
cals and pitched an excellent brand
of ball that was far superior to either
of his opponents.

Edward Scott,
Owner of Island .
Tries Suicide
Attempts to End Life at Home of His
Wife in Omaha Despond
ency Is Cause.
From Tuesday s Daily .
Edward L. Scott, who several
months ago purchased the "Speck's
Island" southeast of this city, yester
day attempted to end his life at the
garage at the home of his wife, 3211
Cass street, Omaha. He fired three
bullets from a revolver at his temple
i nel when this attempt at suicide
failed, cut his left wrist and left leg
with a pocket knife. Mr. Scott had
written a letter to his wife and then
walked to the garage where he at
tempted suicide.
He lay in the garage all day Mon
day and until 1 a .ni today, when ho
apparently recovered consciousness
and walked to the front door of the
home and asked his son-in-law, W.
A. Yager, to let him in the house.
"My head is hurting me," he told
Yager, and Yager switched on a light
to find a headache tablet. When he
saw Scott, face and clothing matted
with blood, he called police. Scot
was taken to Lord Lister hospital
where attendants said he probably
will recover.
Not Seriously Hurt.
The bullets had all glanced off the
skull, and apart from tearing a path
across Scott's forehead, had not in
jured him seriously, attendants
stated. Jagged wounds in his arm
and leg had not been deep enough tc
cut any arteries, they added.
Examination of the weapon which
Scott used indicated that he had
tried both remaining cartridges in
the revolver, but they had failed to
explode. He had even taken them
out of the gun and changed their
position in the firming chamber sc
that the firing pin would strike on a
different spot on the cap. Both cart
ridges again failed to explode, and
Scott then slashed his wrist and leg.
Family Heard Shots.
Scott, according to Mrs. W. A.
Wager, a stepdaughter, left the home
at 9 a. m. Monday saying that he
was going to his farm on Scott's
island, near Plattsmouth, to get a lot
of cattle ready for the Omaha market.
He left by the rear door.
"I heard three shots a short time
later but paid no attention, think
ing that it was probably from the ex
hause of an automobile," Mrs. Yager
said. She remained at the home dur
ing the day. Yager returned from
work Monday night and after a short
ride in their car, retired in the be
lief that Scott was at his home near
Plattsmouth.
Scott, about six months ago, pur
chased the island which comprises
about five hundred acres. He plant
ed crops and stocked the farm, but
the Missouri river flood destroyed the
crops and he was barely able to save
the cattle. This loss had made him
despondent, the Yagers stated.

Baseball Tour
nament May be
Held Here
Plans for a Little Worlds Series With
Cass County and Iowa Teams
Participating.
From Tuesday's Daily
A large number of the enthusiasts
over the great national pastime of
baseball are urging the holding of a
real little world series and give the
fans the chance to see a large num
ber of the fast teams of the county
in action as well as some from our
neighboring county of Mills across
the Missouri river.
The towns that it is hoped to have
interested in the tournament are
Greenwood, Louisville, Plattsmouth,
Manley, Nehawka. Union, Murray,
Weeping Water, Modern Woodmen,
Plattsmouth Athletics, Cedar Creek,
the Schafer team of Murray, Pacific
Junction and Thurman, Iowa.
The plans are not fully outlined
as to the tournament but with the
decision to go ahead with the affair
a fine array of prizes that would give
all a chance to receive a real reward
for their work would be worked out
and which with the fine array of
teams would furnish a great attrac
tion for the fans all over this sec
tion to attend and give some good
fast hall.
The tournament could be readily
staged here at the local ball park
where additional seating capacity
could be easily arranged and provide
a fine and up to the minute place for
staging the games.
It is one of the plans to have a
double header each day between the
teams and as the first elimination
round is played the winners of the
different clays meetin the concluding
games until the finals in the tourna
ment. The plans will probably call for
two classifications of the teams if all
are favorable to getting into the af
fair and will make a several days
festival of interest and entertainment
for the fans from this part of Ne
braska and western Iowa.
