From Saturday's Dally John Jacobs won his third straight game yesterday, as the slugging Am erican Legion Juniors romped on Syracuse 19 to 1. in a game which the visitors called at the sixth inning. In the opening inning the local boys started lambasting three Syra cuse hinders, there being 13 men batting in this stanza. The feature of the inning was White's long home run over the left field bank. Smith received two walks in this frame. The Platters added three runs in the fourth, and seven more in the fifth, and found no pitcher that caused them any amount of trouble, as every man in the lineup scored at least one tally. John Jacobs pitched hitless ball in this abbreviated game, there be ing only 21 men to face him. as he was registering nine strikeouts while coasting along with great hitting and fielding behind him. Syracuse got its lone marker in the sixth, 'via an infield error, a field er's ihoice, and an infield out. Sniffer, Phillips. White. Persinger and Jones all secured two safe; blows, and Sedlak was credited with one b ingle.

July. A supply of complimentary tickets (subject only to payment of state and federal tax) that will admit the holder to both the grounds and grandstand has been received by the local Ambassador. These tickets may be obtained from either the Bates Book Store or Conis Shining Parlor. Fixing of these special days for various communities is in keeping with a long-established policy of Ak-Sar-Ben and one which has re sulted in building up community spirit and co-operation in Nebraska and western Iowa. Plattsmouth's specail clay at the races will be known as Eastern Ne braska day, and bring guests from a? far south as Falls City. There are more than COO horses stabled at the Ak-Sar-Ben field, it is said a far greater number than in any previous year and it has been necessary to erect temporary quar ters to handle the overflow of thor oughbreds which have been entered from all sections of the U. S. Ak-Sar-Ben racing is generously accepted by the people of Nebraska and the middlewest because Ak-Sar-Ben is a non-profit organization. A percentage of the receipts derived from racing admissions and pari mutitel betting is distributed among the 93 county faiid that are held each year in the state and some also goes for development of the agricul tural and live stock industries.
