Merchants Win
from N-C Boost
ers Here Sunday
Harley Streets Proves a Stumbling
Block to Visitors, Allowing
Rut Three Hits.
The riattsmouth Merchants of the
Southeast Nebraska Baseball League
Sunday afternoon on the local lot
took the Nebraska City Boosters by
the score of 10 to 3.
The game was one in which Har
ley Streets, hurler for the Merchants
gave a real exhibition of pitching and
held the visiting team to three lonely
bingles during the nine innings of
play and also nicked the Boosters
for three hits, two of these being for
doubles. lie had ten strikeouts to
his credit.
The locals started the fireworks in
the opening inning with three hits
and two errors to give them a four
to nothing mortgage on the game and
they were at no time in danger from
the visitors.
After the opening inning there
was no scoring until in the fourth
v. hen Argenbright doubled and
scored on the two sack smash of
Streets, who however died on the
sacks.
In the fifth Keil doubled and
scored on the bingle of Crovonec, and
the latter came home when Streets
again doubled. The Boosters were
able to register their first score of
the game in the fifth when Pegge-
meyer was given a pass to first base,
was able to pilfer second and tallied
on the double of Mclntire
In the seventh inning both teems
again scored when Chovonec hit safe
ly and was in a scoring position when
Streets again hit safely. For the
Boosters Mclntire hit for two sacks
and was able to score on an error at
shortstop, this ending the scoring
for the visitors as they were held
scoreless by Streets after that inning.
The Merchants scored in the eighth
when an error placed Ault on first
and he was able to race home with
the tenth run of the game when Keil
poked an offering of McCord for a
single.
For the visitors Mclntire showed
the best as he secured two of his
team's three hits, both for doubles
and counted for a score.
Chovonec and Keil for the locals
secured three hits apiece and Bill
Smith two for the Merchants.
One of the outstanding features
of the Merchants' game was the
catching of Tom Kriskey, who play
ed in big league style and was in the
fight from start to finish.

CHIR0PEACTT0KS MEET
From Monday's Daily

of Wahpeton, North Dakota. Accord
ing to the Judge's history he at one
time was near blindness and was
condemned so until he became ac
quainted with a little Irish chiroprac
tor who relieved him so that he has
no use for eye glasses at all and ap
parently is normal. As judge he must
sit on the insanity beard of North
Dakota. It was there that he decided
if chiropractic can help the eyes it
may help insanity. Thru his con
stant endeavor he has been able to
place a good portion of the patients
in a chiropractic sanitarium and the
records to date show about 67 percent
relief where the old method showed
about 24 percent.

TALKS OF HAWAII
Mrs. Edward G. Ofe, who lias Just
returned from a visit of several
weeks in the Hawaiian islands, was
the guest speaker at the luncheon
of the Plattsmouth Rotary club on
Tuesday.
Mrs. Ofe had a very interesting
story of her trip from Seattle to the
islands and back to southern Call
fornla. She gave a most interesting
picture of the physical formation of
the islands and particularly of Oahu,
where the city of Honolulu is located
and where climatic conditions make
ideal living. She also touched on
the people of the islands and gave
many interesting facts as to the var
ious nationalities that make up the
population of Honolulu where there
are a great many Japanese, these
being the largest single group with
many other smaller groups. The cus
toms of the country, many of these
taken from the ancient native races
makes it very interesting for the!
visitor from the mainland.
The club joined in the singing of
"Aloha" as the opening of the pro
gram of the day.
The high school boys, Robert Val
lery, senior, and Robert Woest,
Junior, gave their farewell talks as
they have served as honorary mem

and the fine spirit that they had
found in the club and which they
had enjoyed to the utmost.

the meeting.
