BREX Win City
Kittenball Title
by Big Margin
Subdue Henchmen, American League
Winners, by Score of 21 to 5
Game Called in Sixth.
The Burlington Refrigerator Ex
press Co., kittenball team proved-the
winners of the city kittenball cham
pionship when they cinched the title
last night in the second cf the series,
wining 21 to 5 from the Henchmen.
The hurling was by Hall of the
BREX, who was in the best of form
and able to keep the American
Leaguers from growing dangerous
and barring one inning, "Stormy had
excellent support from the hustling
shopmen. McClanahan cf the Hench
men played a good game on the
mound but was sunk by the deluge
of errors that accounted for many of
the scores that were piled up by the
shopmen.
With the large score amassed by
the BREX the game was halted at
the close of the first half of the sixth
inning to permit other teams to play
and the honor of the city champion
ship awarded the shopmen.
The BREX started in scoring in
the first inning, when with one out,
March was walked and tallied on
the tap of O'Donnell to left.
The second brought the BREX four
more scores to their credit with an
error, a walk and two hits.
The third was the crushing of any
hope the Henchmen may have had of
stopping the BREX when eight tallies
came over the plate, all scoring after
the first two men had been retired.
The scoring was started when an
error permitted Gradoville to reach
first and then hits by Hall and Skalak
started the stampede. Three straight
errors at third base permitted scores
to come dashing over the plate. March
hit to short center, O'Donnell was
w alked and then Svoboda w ith a hard
blow to right scored three runs for
his team mates, but died on second
base.
The Henchmen took advantage of
a momentary ascension of the BREX
infield to add four scores in their
half of the fourth. Earl Becker was
struck out and then McClanahan was
given a pass to first and stole his
way to third and scored on the field
ers choice cf Floyd Becker, w ho w as
later caught at home. Richards was
safe on a bobble at third base and
Scott hitting an infield ball was safe
as the play was made on Richards
without success, both scoring when
Fitch was safe on a bobble at short,
but Fitch was later caught at sec
ond. The BREX decided to make safe
the contest in their half of the fourth
and added seven more runs to the
total, hitting hard in this inning.
Two more for the BREX in the
last of the fifth drew the curtain on
their efforts, as smashing hits by
Cradovilie and Mason featured the
inning.
The Henchmen made their last
stand in the opening of the sixth
when McClanahan hit safely and
scored on the blow of Floyd Becker
to right and who scored when Scott
hit safely to short center, Scott was
caught trying to steal third base
while Fitch hitting and reaching first
safely was caught by White trying tc
steal second.

Alvo News
Mr. and Mrs. G. Rehmeier and
Mrs. Simon Rehmeier and the child
ren were in Plattsmouth last Monday,
where they were visiting and looking
after some business matters.
Eugene Earkhurst and family at
tended the state fair on last Monday
and found the exhibits most excellent
and a large crowd there to enjoy the
fair and to meet their friends.
W. L. Copple has added to the
equipment on the farm for the better
transportation of his family a new
Chevrolet car, which will give this
gentleman and family the best of ser
vice.
Many of the people of Alvo and vi
cinity have been attending the state
fair. Among those who went Tuesday
were Ncal and Carl Lewis, Harry
Weiehel and wife and Frank E. Cook
vice.
Arthur Roelofsz was in Lincoln
last Tuesday, where he was meeting
with the independent oil and gaso
line dealers of this section. They are
expecting a better business in the
future.
Hold First Meeting
The ladies of the Double Four
club met on last Wednesday after
noon at the home of Mrs. J. H. Wei
chel. where they organized for the
year's work, making arrangements
for the meetings which will follow
during the coming winter and plan
ning their committees 'and outlining
their year's work' They sure are get
ting down to the gist of the work
which the year has before them. Fol
lowing the completion of the arrange
ments. they had a social hour and
enjoyed some good eats.
Bees and the Weather
A. H. Weiehel says that when he
was making fence for a pasture the
other day, he found chintz bugs on
the grass and weeds as thick as fleas
on a dog. This made E. L. Nelson re
member that in the west his father
kept bees and that while the bees
had an abundance cf honey they all
left the hives and went away. That
year was dry and it has been dry
the following four years. He thinks
the bees knew it was going to be so
dry they could not make any honey
and so left until such a time as the
season will be right again. Mr. Nel
son predicts drouth in that section of
the west for three more years. Well,
we shall see.
Building New Barn
Believing in having enough shelter
for all the stock and for the storing
of the feed for them in order that the
animals may do their best and the
feed be well preserved, Chris Neban
is having a new barn constructed.
The size of the new structure is 24
by 3G feet. The material is being
purchased through the Banning lum
ber yard of Alvo. Work on the new
structure is well along and the roof
is now nearly completed.
BUY NOW!
It will certainly pay
you to. shop here first.
Instead of advancing
we are actually cutting
the prices on most items
in stock.
Our prices are away
below present replace
ment costs on a rapidly
rising market.
School opens in a few
days. Need we say any
more?

farmers to sign contracts guarantee
ing they will use the electricity.
HUNDREDS ENJOY TREAT
Last evening as the opener of the
almost all night carnival of kitten
ball at Athletic park, the business
and professional men of the city
staged some real fun for the crowd
that packed the park and greeted
with shouts the antics of the players.
From the playing standpoint, the
"Bloomer Girls" seemed to have the
edge tn playing as the 7 to 3 score
would indicate, John Hatt, the chief
of the' glrls" having secured some
good stickers and not being so bad
himself. The costumes of the "girls"
attracted much attention, they hav
ing an especial Swede model at third
base, as well as entrancing flappers at
the infield posts.
The "House of David," who played
the Bloomers, showed a wide varia
tion of whiskers from the patriachal
flowing beard to the dashing goatee
showed and modeled by Fred Rea
The bearded boys were able to get
through the game without accident
although there were several close
calls from losing thir hirsuate adorn
ments as they sped after the ball or
dashed from base to base. Judge
Graves, who started playing ball In
187 6 with the Rock Bluffs Giants
was presented with a special hat for
use in the game and the Judge slap
ped the delivery of the charming
lady hurler but was tossed out at
first base. E. Ptak of the Bloomers
secured a home run as a feature of
the game.
The kittenball teams were over
shadowed by the two umpires, Cook
and Bennett, who as the representa-
tives of the two teams entertained the
crowd and brought many laughs.
Bennett appeared as a lady umpire
and his ample figure was draped with
a black tent, cut bias and with pic
ture hat to match. The lady umpire
also showed that she knew all about
the combination that she was garbed
in. The male umpire made a fine edi
tion of Weber & Fields, or rather the
Weber end of the team. Both um
pires, as is the general rule of the
job, failed to satisfy the teams, but
ignored all protests.
HEARS SONS SAFE
Mr. and Mrs. Don C. York of this
city have received a letter from their
sons, Don and Randall, who are at
ITarlingen, Texas, oue of the storm
swept Texas cities that was ravaged
by the recent hurricane.
The two young men were in the
storm swept city and with several
others sought refuge in the Methodist
church, one of the large and sub
stantial buildings of the city and
which weathered the fury of the in
tense wind sweeping in from the gulf.
They report that 'the farm homes of
Mrs. L. C. Copenhaver and family
and Mr. and Mrs. Russell Perry also
escaped damage from the storm.
The city of Harlingen as well as
the other valley towns are now turn
ing to the task of recovery and the
repair of the hundred of thousands
of dollars of damage that was caused
by the storm.

Last evening Ray Larson again an
nexed the county tennis champion
ship by repeating his three set victory
of 1932.
Ray Larson defeated Ralph Mason

HIT WITH POP BOTTLE
Thursday morning Lloyd llolman,
who operates the pope itand along
No. 75 north of this city, was en
gaged in working in a field nearby
and decided he would get himself a
bottle of ice cold pop which he had
prepared for the trade. Reaching the
stand which was closed for the morn
ing, Mr. Holman opened the door of
the stand and as he did so a pop bot
tle in the hands of an unknown
youth descended on the unprotected
head of Mr. Holman. jThe youth,
then made his escape from the scone
and as soon as possible Mr. Holman
reached a telephone and called Sher
iff Homer Sylvester at the office of
the sheriff. Arriving on the scene
the tale was given the sheriff and he
at once started in pursuit of the
young man, the trail of his flight be
ing marked through a grain field
nearby. The sheriff came within
hailing distance of the young man
and at the command to come out he
did so promptly and was loaded into
the car of Mr. Sylvester and brought
on to this city.
The young man was arraigned thi3
morning in county court and gave
his name as Ira Metter, his residence
as Afton, Iowa. He said that he was
hungry and eought to secure some
food. The court gave him a sentence
of ten days and which the prisoner
will have to board out with Sheriff
Sylvester.
STEAL HOSE AT STATION
During the night a rew days ago
someone cut the water hose at the
Coryell service station, operated by
E. C. Giles and son, allowing the
water to run the remainder of the
night, thus causing a loss to Mr. Gllea
and son. The apparent purpose of
the taking of the hose was that gas
might by syphoned from some car or
truck. It seems that nothing is safe
when someone wants what they do
not have or cannot earn.
A Cleveland bathing beauty prize
was 'given a contestant in street at
tire, although one seldom looks for
imagination in these awards.
