The Labor day observance In this
city was one of quietness and calm
and little activity was noticed in the
main section of the city after the

of activity.
The state fair was the goal of a

Another of the places that drew
heavily from this city was the great
Ringling circus at Omaha and where
the attendance was estimated at 20,
000 with almost half that many be
ing turned away on account of the
lack of seating capacity for the
crowds. Many from this city were

Hurlers Battle Between Trumble and
Brokhage Thrills the Specta
tors Present Sunday
from Tuesdays Daily
The boys from out near where the
Salt Creek flows into the Platte,
came down Sunday afternoon and
gave the Plattsmouth team one of the
closest games of the season, winning
by a score of 1 to 0.
The contest was a pitchers' battle
between Brokhage of the visitors and
Ernest Trumble of the Plattsmouth
team, Trumble striking out nine of
the visitors, while Brokhage was able
to retire eight of the locals through
the strikeout route. The visitors
slab artist was more fortunate as his
team mates gave hini four hits, one
a two bagger by Earl Jardine, while
the locals gave down but three raps.
For the locals Newman secured two
of the three hits and Joe Krejci beat
out a grounder to the initial sack
for the third of the bingles of the
Plattsmouth team.
In the sixth and seventh frames
the locals looked good to register,
but in the pinches the hits were not
forthcoming and left the Platters
dragging as the final innings opened
up.
Both pitchers worked good in the
critical stages of the game and were
able to check any threatened rallies
of the teams.
The visitors secured their tally in
the second inning when Earl Jardine
opened with a smashing two sacker
to right field that failed of a home
run over the fence by inches, and
when Spidell threw to second to cap
ture the hard-hitting visitor, New
man failed to get the throw and Jar
dine moved on to third base, the ball
rolling out to short center. Landon,
the catcher of the visitors, hit to left
and Jardine came home with what
was to prove the winning run of the
game. Armstrong nit to center,
where the ball was grabbed by. Krejci
and the strong right arm of Joe drove
the. ball to O'Donnell at first to re
tire Landon, who had started for sec
ond base. Bright closed the inning
with a strike-out.
In the fourth inning the visitors
again threatened, Schulke and Wel-
ton being out on a fly to Newman
and a grounder to Gansemer, when
Jardine hit to short and Newman
threw wild to first and then Landon
hit to Gansemer who missed the ball
and the runner was safe. Trumble
struck out Armstrong, however, and
closed the threat.
In the sixth, Trumble, the first
batter up, was given a walk and was
sacrificed to second by Herold, but' i ,1 a t
