For Bayard. Snyder and Mase; for
Glidden, Waldron, Pagle and Towne.
"Old Man" Waldron, as the base ball
boys now know him, has been pitching
ball for twenty years. In his day he
was the best amateur pitcher in wes-
tern Iowa and he has often been in
vited to join league clubs, but preferred
to retain his position as cashier in
our National bank. The game he put
up Saturday reminded his admirers of
old times. The opposing batsmen real
ly intended to put him out Of COM
mission, but the "old man" showed
them that he still has a few good games
in his repertoire. Towne, Of Des Moines
Schaeuweber, of Waterloo and Myers,
of Lehign, assisted Gidden. The Bay
ard team was composed mostly of
home men, including a few from ia
maica. They are fine players. Gid
den has three games with Carroll this
week.
The balloon ascension by Professor
Dan Rice, of Carroll. was the best ever
witnessed in this locality. The bal
loon arose to an immense height and
drifted slowly eastward about mile
from which the parachute leap was
made.
The drill exhibition by the Glidden
team was a splendid sight. Captain
Tenant had his mdl well drilled and
their work was without error and
with fine precision. A ladies' team
from Carroll Camp Of Royal Neighbors
also gave an exhibition drill, indicating
great skill and care in the execution
of the VARIOUS maneuvers of the drill
manual.
Glidden has a band in which every
one takes pride and the boys did them
selves proud in their work on this oc-
casion, furnishing an abundance Of
fine music.
The whole program was grand suc-
cess in every way and there were no
accidents or unpleasant incidents to
mar the occasion.
There are no saloons in Glidden, a
fact i'll which the people take pride
and the absence of boisterous, drunken
louis was fact noted and commented
on by many visitors. There were
some three or four thousand people in
the assembly.
The woodmen finished the program
up at night by initiating about thirty
members. During the night they serv-
ed a banquet to some three or four
hundred visiting members. The guests
were all laid up for repairs Sunday
morning.
