point he attempted to get onto tho mov
ing train and was thrown under the
wheels will remain unknown Ilis dis
membered broken and bruised body is
a mute horrifying testimonial of tho
fact that tho unfortunate man met death
under the ruthless wheels
The remains were not found until tho
following afternoon when they were dis
covered by the crew of the wrecking
train which was returning to McCook
from Oxford where its services were re
quired in clearing up the wreck of two

McCook played a sort of a confidence
game on nersolr Monday in ner open
ing game on the local diamond with tho
Alliance team and being caught nap
ping lost to the visitors by a score of G
to i Numerous errors of a more or less
expensive sort and a noticeable absence
of the usual interest and esprit de corps
of the homo club made it possible for
Alliance to win a game they had no li
cense to take The details are as follows

When the fence was extended north
about fifty feet it was considered that
tho home run question was settled but
it seems that the management will have
to put a roof on the Athletic ball park
if the hope to shut out Jones from his
usual home run
Monday was an ofT day for Hood who
made three of McCooks errors by fumb
ling the ball
Bocock umpired Mondays game with
satisfaction
Tuesdays game was different
The locals showed the Alliance club
whose dog ate the cabbage Tuesdaj
afternoon in most conclusive style tak
ing away the sting of Monday after
noons needless defeat in a measure
The locals felt that tho result of the
opening game ought at least to have
been reversed and were on their metal
Tuesday playing a strong game and
making several fast double plays just
when they would do the most good and
let them safely out of uncomfortable
situations The summary of the game
is as follows

Tho Alliance boys are a fine lot of
fellows and play pretty fast ball but are
outclassed by McCook when the locals
attend strictly to business and are not
disarmed by over confidence

Thursday narrowly escaped a shut out
