Sioux City, the team that came down here
five or six weeks ago aud lambasted Omaha
for three straight games, is back again.
Yesterday afternoon they went out to the
ball park to see whether they couldn't white
wash the White Sox one inning out of nine,
and they did it, but it was the closest kind
of shave.
The Omahas had it in for the Corn Husk-
ers and they all but wiped them from the
face of the earth.
In the very first inning Mr. Webber, who
was in the box for the visitors, fell into the
sizzling puree, and it made the crowd of hf-
teen hundred people very iubilanl.
They remembered Mr.. Webber few
weeks back, when his drops aud shoots and
other productions played such havoc with
the White SoX,
But let's see how 1t all came to pass
In the opening inning Willis. Cleveland
and Strauss were sent to first on bad balls in
rapid succession. Jack Crooks then came to
the plate, and deluging it with u mouthful of
Yucatan juice for luck, he cried:
''Get ready there, now, all of you, and
when i kill it, come inn
Then Webber sent him one of his choicest
drops, ana Jack met 1t cordially. making a
beautiful line hit to left field on which
Willis and Cleveland scored.
What shout there was at that.
Everybody thought, you know, of course
that the struggle was going to be hot and
furious, and wanted to hooray while they
had q chance.
The next man up was the lad with the
terra Gotta curls, and before anybody real
lied it he had smashed the ball way out over
Helman's head for three sacks; then
Andrews followed with n homer over the
fence; Nagle got to first on an egregious
muff by Powell; Clarke struck out; Willis
was hit with the ball, and Cleveland made a
fine drive for three cushions, and the result
of this fearful cannonading was nine large,
''Oh, Webby, Webby!' cried the crowd.
sWhat ails you?"
In their half the visitors also scored. but
one tally, however. and Cline got that He
knocked out three Dagger, and came IN
after Willis had caught PowelPs fly.
Then the White Sox stepped right up Tor
eight more consecutive innings, and bounded
out one or more runs in every one of them,
save the last, when q bit of sharp fielding
closed them out.
Gracious, how the crowd did cheer and
jeer and guy the Corn Huskers, and when
the game was over they looked like crowd
of dyspeptics.
They did some clever stick work. however.
and there is no probability that Clarke found
it necessary to let out any extra kinks in his
Derby last night. In the sixth inning they
got his range beautifully, and on five cork
ing singles drove In four runs, and had it not
have been for superb fielding, would have
made as many more.
They were hopelessly behind, however
and played in dispirited, perfunctory sort
of O way, and seemed only anxious to get
through with the game as quickly as possi-
BILE.
This morning they will have Siebel ia the
box, and TINS afternoon, Flannagan; ano
Captain Brosnan says he will he woefully
disappointed if they don't take both games

A simple Device to Wipe Ont Poverty.

In the North American Review for
July the Rev. James b. Wasson sug-
gests to DR.. McGlynn and Henry George
method of abolishing poverty in
about two centuries and half by the
simple device of investing $4,000 and
letting it go on increasing at compound
interest for that length of time, The
results are startling. He says: "As--
suming that, when put out at compound
interest, the principal doubles itself
every fifteen years-no very extrava-
CANT assumption-the $4,000 invested
in 1929 would to-day amount to the in
conceiyably enormous sum OF SlSi ,2O7,-
800 900! And this sum invested at the
rate OF per cent would yield an annual
income of 81 1868 ,224 400, which sum, be
it remembered, would be available
every year in perpetuity for the noble
but misty objects OF the Anti-Poverty
society,""
