Cleveland, O., September 1S-Young
performed a feat to-day which is said
not to have been accomplished since
Hawk performed it for Baltimore in
1S99-shutting the Reds out without a
hit inEthe first game this afternoon.
Four of the visitors reached first base
during the game. Young gave one base
on balls, a wild throw by Mexican on
an easy chance gave Corcoran a life,
and Holiday was twice safe on errors
by Wallace. One was a tumble of an
easy grounded and the other a wild
throw after a fine stop of sharp hit
drive. The last named was the only
approach TO hit the visitors got. and
it was by no means close enough to
mar Young's record. The second
game was brilliantly contested one,
both pitchers doing great work.

CT the congress. A meeting of the execu-
tive board was held at II o'clock. largely
for the purpose of outlining the work Of
the three days convention. C. B. Booth,

rotary Heinz read the cali for the meeting
OF the congress. President Booth intro
duced Gov Holcomb. who welcomed the
delegates in an address of some length.
Chancellor Mclean. of the University Of
Nebraska seconded on behalf Of the educa-
tfonal interests OF the state the welcome OF
the governor.
On behalf OF the congress Judge j. 5.
Emery. OF Lawrence, Kan. responded to
the address Of welcome. So deep and abid-
ing was his faith IN irrigation for soil Gull
ture, said Judge Emery. that he, with 9TH
er Kansans had come to regard that syS-
TEN Of farm moisture as the natural one
and rainfall as the secondary element The
virgin soil was the source Of all wealth,
and when the people learned TO so regard

pared paper.
E r. Moses OF Great Bend. Kan.

The question Of the possibility of locating
