vlNToN DEFEATS WATERLOO.
Ball Game at the Former Place Was
hotlY Contested.


Special to Times Republican.
Vinton. June 25.-The big ball game
of the season for Vinton took place
tween Waterloo and the home team.
Before the game had covered many In
nings it was clearly demonstrated that
the supposed to be crack team or our
city was no match for the
Locals. Ninton led the hitting in the
last half of the first inning and ran in
three scores with ease. Again in the
fourth Ninton ran in two more scores
and shut the visitors out for seven
straight innings. In the eighth Wa
terloo. after hard work. succeeded in
getting in TWO runs. followed by Vim
ton in the same inning with one more
run. While in the ninth Waterloo failed
to score. leaving the result to : IN
favor OF the Ninton boys The result
was great surprise 20 Waterloo, as
they We're confident of an easy victory
until the first inning ha9 been played.
Their work is very good, but the VIM
ton team is their superior in every re-
spect. Brittson pitched for the home
team, while Unkle and Ross acted IN
that respect for Waterloo. The second
and last game between the same teams
will be played this afternoon, with
Powell In the box for Vinton and Swal-
lum for the visitors. II The home team
does not sustain bad defeat in to-
days game, which is not at all likely,
they will practically hold the undis-
puted championship of all Iowa bail
teams outside the leagues. The score
by innings of yesterdays game is as
fellows:
Waterloo 900 o o o . %

fisherman to land ten or dozen fine

croppies and when the water gets lower
and clears up little. it is expected
many of these species will be caught.

Ellis j. Penfield, of Nevada. has pur-
chased the bank of Kelley OF Mr.. Will

Bows.
1t is now a certainty that work will
be commenced this season on the big
ditch started from near the farm of
George Davis. and running northeast
and ending on the farm of Frank
knuths, and the same is true of the one
coming from Lincoln township and In
tersecting this near Gait. The matter
came up at the June session of the
board, but so many claims We're filed
for damages which will have to be APP
praised before anything else is done,
that the matter will have to rest until
the September meeting. The past two
seasons have demonstrated the fact
that in heavy and protracted spells of
rain, tile will not take away the water
fast enough. from the fiat lands, and
the only safety is in open bitches to
help out in such emergencies. The
country that these two bitches will
drain is one of the best agricultural
sections of the county, and it is to be
hoped that the work can be done with
out needless delay. If all matters of
damages are satisfactorily adjusted, it
is probable that the contract for the
work will be let this fall, to be done
as soon as possible next spring.

On the Best
of Terms

San Francisco. May IL. 1903
The threatened sympathetic strike
OF the boiler makers now under con
sideration N due TO a misunderstand.
ing OF the issues involved in the
strike OF a year or 80 ago on the
Union Pacific. coupled with fear OF an
intention To force the extension OF
piece work. We therefore think the
matter should be explained beyond
chance OF furthef misconstructlon.
About a year ago the boiler makers
on the Union Pacific struck for a ten
per cent increase In wages and Ger.
tain shop rules which had nothing
whatever To do with the question OF
piece or premium work. as that sub
iect was never at any time mentioned
or limited at and never would have
been introduced on that road but for
the strike. The increase In wages
was declined. as the Union Pacific
was already paying from seven 10
fifteen percent more than any OF It's
neighbors and the adoption OF the pro.
posed rules would have placed the ad-
OF It's shop affairs In the
hands OF It's employees. Following the
strike new men were employed. new
locomotives were bought. and the
shop operations OF that road after a
short while resumed their normal
character
Eyersince efforts have been made toI
draw the shop employees OF the south
