Tuxedo Club in
Win from Red
Sox on Sunday
Score of 17 to 9 Boiled Up by Colored
Boys from Omaha by Hard Hit
ting and Errors by Locals
The Red Sox on Sunday afternoon
were defeated at the local ball park
by the Tuxedo club of Omaha, one
of the crack colored organizations of
that city, the score being 17 to SJ
for the visitors when the smoke of
battle rolled away in the last inning.
The visitors scored on the double
of Lee in the opening inning, he com
ing home on the single of Hunter,
with the Sox coming back in their
half of the opener to score when
Schliscke came home as the visitors
hobbled the ball.
The second stanza of the game
saw the Tuxedo team acquire seven
runs, to take a firm hold on the lead
that they maintained for the re
mainder of the contest. Two hits,
with several errors gave the colored
boys their tallies. In the Plattsmouth
half of the inning Kizzier, local hurl
er, scored on the smashing triple of
Alex Schliscke, who however, was
held at third and unable to score.
In the fifth the Sox staged a rally
that looked good to put them in the
running as they opened a batting
rally on Walker that netted four hits
and five runs.
The visitors in the fateful seventh
annexed five more runs while they
held the Sox scoreless.
The Red Sox will play the Peter
Pan team of Omaha here on next
Sunday and the visitors will have

BAINS BETABD HOPPERS
New hope for northeastern Nebras
ka crops is seen by L. M. Gates, state
entomologist, of Lincoln, who return
ed Sunday from the' grasshopper ter
ritory - where rain-lifeveral days
have revived crop prospects, chances
of defeating the insects, and fanners'
hopefulness.
"The rains, he said, "have re
tarded the hoppers, but they still are
doing damage although the worst has
been averted by the poison cam
paign."
Gates said more bait is needed in
the vicinity of Crofton and Verdel.
but probably will be obtained from a
carload supposed to reach Niobrara
Sunday, while most of Boyd county
also needs more poison. The rest of
the territory where the Insects have
been threatening is well supplied
with poison, about fifteen carloads
having been furnished altogether by
the state.
"A parasitic fly may do consider
able damage to the hoppers by the
end of the month." Gates said, "and
if it stays cloudy and humid fungus
diseases will be able to make much
progress in combatting the hoppers."

Weeping Vater
People Urge Muny
Cement Plant
Urge Government Aid in Construc
tion of Cement Plant and $400,
000 Crushed JJbck Plant.
Governor Charles W. Bryan was
visited Tuesday by a delegation of the
residents of Weeping Water to urge
on the governor the plans for the
establishment of a XI, 500. 000 cement
plant with the use of federal funds
and to keep down the price of con
crete for state highway construction.
"I don't know what chance It will
have of getting government money.
Governor Bryan said, "but it should
have a very good opportunity."
Mayor H. A. Crozier of Weeping
Water led the delegation which pre
sented the program for the cement
plant and for a 400 thousand dollar
crushed rock and lime plant. Other
members were Frank Domingo, C. V.
Seely and J. I. Corley.
'"They 'said the plants would' produce
three million barrels of cement an
nually to sell for 98 cents to SI. 05
a barrel at a profit. Governor' Bryan
said the state was paying 11.75 to
$1.78 a barrel for cement. v
"I have noticed," said the gover
nor, "that the price from each manu
facturer on cement has been the same
and that there will soon be a consid
erable advance in price. That reduces
the number of miles of pavement
that may be built, and cuts the por
tion of the money which may be used
for labor."
