ten days session. The almost contin

and the receipts fell below the expen-

were the strongest in the history of
this assembly. The session next year
will probably be held in July to avoid

FEATURE or THE GAME
BROKE UP IN A MIS-
UNDERSTANDING.
0aIena Team Saw II Could
NOT Win. 50 Left the FisId
Very Generally Con.
dsmnsd by GsIena People

! The game, or what part of j
was played, at Ervin's park las
Sunday, was witnessed by a yer.
large crowd. But only five in
nings were played, when the Ga
lena team, headed by Tib Win
Idle, manager, lett the ground
because the Baxter team was get
ting the best of the game. w
Igive this as the reason, for really
There was no other. But for /;
pretext it was claimed the Baxter
boys were batting out Of turn
This was not the case, however
as was proven by the batting list
The score up to the time the Ga
lena boys left the field was a:
follows:
Galena-O 3O00-3
Baxter 0001-3
Cloudy, from Columbus, pitch
| ed for the Baxter boys the first
two innings, but in the second in
ming he got so wild that Harlan
was put in the box, and although
suffering from bursted knee cap
received at Neodesha on Monday
|of last week, he never allowed a
score the three innings he pitch
| ed, and in the fourth inning not
a man in front of him even hit
| the ball to the extent of a foul.
| 1t looks very much to a man up a
| tree as if the manager of the Ga
lena team made a holler to try
and save his men some money we
understood had been bet by them.
Even the Galena visitors to the
game say the kick he made was
not warranted. Umpire Glasner,
after being satisfied there was no
Justice in the kick, called play
ball." and after waiting the time
prescribed by the rules, declared
the game forfeited to Baxter by
a score of = to 0.
AS a pitcher Harlan is easily
the best in the country.
1t was rather unfortunate that
the misunderstanding came up,
but there was no hot headedness
displayed-it was all bullheaded-
mess.
There was a big crowd from
Galena, and they went home sore
over the action of their own team.
Galena people, as a rule, are
very fair.
Happy Westcott, who used to
pitch for Joplin, was an interest
ed spectator, and although he
wanted to bet some money on
Baxter he could not find any
takers.
The real fly in the ointment
has been discovered. and a tull
confession has been made. Mr..
|Windle, manager of the Galena
ball team, told the manager OF
the Baxter team that if he would
take Harlan out of the box and
put Cloudy back to pitch out the
game, he would concent to go
ahead and finish the game. Thus
you see the real cause of the trou-
BILE was merely an attempt to
save the money which some OF
Windle's friends had up on the
game. The manager of the Bax-
ter team Indignantly refused to
do as Windle asked.
