Merchants
Close Season
with Victory
Local Baseball Team Makes Fine
Showing in 2 to 1 Game Street
Whiffs Nineteen Batters.
From Monday's Dally
Yesterday the local Merchants fin
ished up their league competition
by subduing the "Waverly team 2-1.
The victory, the 12th league triumph,
enabled the locals to finish in first
place, and now the Merchants are
"Kings of the Twin Valley League."
"Gabby" Street, local -hurling sen
sation, was in rare form, and limited
the opponents to but one harmless
single by Loder, who was immediate
ly thrown out trying to stretch it
into a double.
In the initial frame Loder, lead
off man hit a high fly to Spangler.
Then "Gabby" applied the pressure,
and added 14 consecutive strikeouts
to his previous 10 game total of 140.
In addition to the 14 consecutive
victims, he secured five more for a
total of 19.
Schmadke, former University of
Nebraska twirler pitched a nice
game, allowing but four bingles. but
"Gabby" outclassed him in every de
partment, and "Gab" deserved to
win the pitching duel.
The game was a scoreless strug
gle for three and two-thirds innings.
Then with Hayes on third by virtue
of his single, and Schmadke's wild
pitch, "Kid" O'Donnell hit a slow
roller to short, and Bob tallied. In
the eighth "Gabby" singled and went
to third on an error. O'Donnell hit
a long fly to center, and "Gab" scored
the winning tally.
A record crowd witnessed this
thrilling tussle, which was one of
the best games ever played on a
Plattsmouth diamond.
There was but one error chalked
up against the Platter outfit, and
only three against Waverly despite
the poor infield condition after Sat
urday's deluge.

The manager of your local
Creamery comes in contact
"with you every time you sell
your cream, and knows your
condition with dying crops,
grasshoppers and low prices.
He has a feeling that you
should receive the best price
he can afford to pay. He is in
terested in your welfare and
speaks your language.
Managers of creameries 50
or 200 mile3 away never heard
of you and have nothing in
rorimon with you. Their in
terest centers in making divid
ends for stockholders to make
their job more secure.
Now the moral of this bit of
paraphrasing is "SELL YOTJE
CREAM AT HOME" where they
know your condition, and will
do everything possible to help
you.

ITNDS CORN CROP GOOD
The corn in eastern and northern
Iowa looks as a record breaker this
year, reports L. B. Egenberger, well
known grocer, who has just returned
home from an auto trip in company
with Mrs. Egenberger, Mr. and Mrs.
J. H. Carter and daughter, Beverly
Ann, through Iowa.
They made the trip on going by
vay of highway No. 34 to Mt. Pleas
ant and after a short distance from
the Missouri river the corn com
menced to look much stronger and
very heavy. They traveled north
from Mt. Pleasant to country that
seemed to have a wonderful crop of
corn and the farmers interviewed
were expecting from seventy-five to
eighty bushels per acre.
On the way back they came north
and west through the country nearer
jthe Missouri river and while the
corn was not as heavy as farther east
but a very good crop at that and re
ported as being much improved.
One of the places of interest that
the party enjoyed was the ice cave
at Strawberry Point, one of the nat
ural wonders of this part of the west.
While at Iowa City they were
guests of the Hotz family and other
relatives.
HERE FROM DAKOTA
Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Kart and chil
dren and Mrs. E. E. Niel of Rapid
City, South Dakota are visiting here
with Mr. and Mrs. Leslie Niel. Mrs.
Niel is mother of Mr. Niel and Mrs.

afternoon on a charge" of drunken
driving. He was reported at several
places and was starting out Webster
boulevard when he met the car of
Deputy Sheriff Cass Sylvester, who
turned around and followed the car
as the driver was having trouble in
steering it. The car was overhauled
near the Elliott farm and the driver
placed under arrest.
The man was arraigned on the
charge of operating a car while in
toxicated and to which he made a
guilty plea, charging -domestic
trouble as the cause of the drinking.

RETURNS FROM EUROPE
Peter Antos, a former Plattsmouth
resident, has just returned to his
home in Omaha after a trip back to
his old heme in Czechoslovakia, he
being called there to look after the
settlement of the estates of his father
and mother, both of whom are now
dead. He spent some two months
there and found that the people are
alert to the possibilities of the clash
with other powers that may be
threatening them. The nation, how
ever, is well prepared and the citi
zens determined to preserve their in
dependence as a nation which they
regained in 1918 after 200 years of
German domination.
