DEATH OF GUSTAV G1RARD.

On another page we give a history
of his life. Mr.. Glrard was no or
binary man. He represented a high
type of the German race. He was a
man of wide information. a close
reader. and good thinker. He came
to this country in 1856 and knew OF
the formation Of the republican party.
and what it stood for. and his allegi-
ance to it did not falter even when he
was the only German voting the ticket
in his township. He has been in
failing health for some years but his
mind was clear to the end. lie had
a fine farm and had the respect of his
neighbours.

Daughter of John Perwitz
Burned to Death Near Char
ter Oak.
FRANTIC ATTEMPT TO RESCUE
Rendered Futile by Flames and
Dense Smoke.

Mr.. Perwitz and family. living a
mile and a half northeast of Charter
Oak have the sympathy of the whole
community in their double loss of
home and loved one. About v
O'Clock Monday morning while Mr..
and Mrs. Perwitz were doing the
chores their house caught fire and
burned to the ground. The two older
children ran to the barn to tell their
parents. leaving their baby sister of
fourteen months in the house.
When the father reached the house
and opened the door he was forced
back by a cloud of smoke. In vain
did he crawl on hands and knees in
his search for the baby. His face
was badly burned and hair and
mustache singed. The charred re-
mains of the little one were found ly-
ing neal the stove after the fire had
died out.
This fire leaves the family almost
destitute. Not a thing was saved.
the hired man had gone to town the
Saturday before to buy a new suit of
clothes. these clothes and some musi-
cal instruments which he had were
burned. It is the opinion of Mr..
Perwitz that the Ere started in the
chimney earlier in the morning or it
could not have gained such Roadway.
An out building shut off the view of
the house from the barn or they might
have have discovered the fire sooner.
Mrs. Perwitz is a daughter of VIM.
Pithan Of Charter Oak. At present
she and her husband and children are
with her father. Several people of
Charter Oak have driven out to see
the ruined home.

Result of High School Foot
Ball on Friday.

The Denison High School won its
third football game Friday afternoon,
defeating Vail High School by a score
of 81 to o.. The Vail team was light
and SO the Denison team was made
up largely of substitutes and lighter
boys who had not been PLAYING regu-
larly. Still Denison boys played a
fast game. and their interference was
the best it has been this season.
Denison won the toss and chose to
defend the north goal. and Vail
kicked. In two minutes and ten
seconds IF play Vernon Myers was
showed across for the first touch down
and afterwards kicked goal. making
the score 6 to O.
Vail kicked off again. and again
Denison. gaining from 8 TO 10 yards
at q clip. carried the ball the length
of the field and made a touch down.
This same thing was repeated four
more times. and that is the story of
the game. Vail was not able to make
first down at all. In fact the Vail
boys made only one gain and that was
on u fumbied kick.
The Denison backs played an ex-
ceedingly strong game both offense
and defense. but handled punts very
poorly. Several times they let the
ball get away from them and had to
turn and run it down.
Among the features of the game
might be mentioned the speed with
which Clair Nicolson ran the team,
the goal kicked by Myers. the lodging
of Alva Daniels while returning kicks
and the strong interference put up by
Spencer Heiden. Richardson played
his usua!! fast game at half. making
one u of 80 yards. but Oliver Sau!
at center was the star of the game.
The game was clean throughout and
entirely free from sauabbling.
Denison's next game is Saturday.
the 10Th when Missouri Valley comes
to even up. if possible. for her defeat
three weeks ago That will probably
be one of the best games played on
the home grounds this season.

Scoring Odd Plays

President Pulliam of the National League, has just decided a point in scoring which has been discussed To- caIly in the last year or two. Here is the play:
 With a man on first base. the batter attempted to sacrifice the base runner 10 second by bunting. The fielder handling the ball, instead of making the play at first elects to stop the sac- riflce. if possible. by throwing to sec ond. The ball is handled cleanly. but the base runner reached second base , ahead of the ball. The point passed on < by President Pulliam is, what should be given the man who made the bunt?
 President Pulliam thinks that the batter should get the next best thing to a sacrifice, viz: flelder's choice with the time at bat omitted. Here ls his ruling and his sensible reasons
 "It is my Judgment that the play. as outlined above, should be scored as a fielder's choice. if, in the judgment of the scorer a perfect play would have retired the batsman at first: but inas- much as the batsman does his part in attempting the sacrifice play, I believe he should not be charged with a time at bat if the base runner is advanced 7 Ay reason of his play. The rule defin- ing a sacrifice hit limits 1t to the cases where the batsman is retired at first base, or would have been If no error were made; and he not being retired at 1arst base on this play, can not be given a sacrifice hit: but think, In all jus tice, he should be given the next best thing and not be charged with a time at bat. Of course. scoring is more or less simply the result of Judgment, aand if in the Judgment of the scorer in 1 the play outlined above. the batter could not have been retired at first if { the bali had been handled cleanly. then. I of course, the scorer would be justified in giving the batter a base hit.
 f ''fn the matter of a squeeze play I would say that the above suggestions would apply. namely. if the player is | retired at the plate the play scored is J . fielder's choice and the batter charged with a time at bat. If, however the ] play is made at first base and the bat I ter retired, but the runner scores. then 1 1t should be scored as a sacrifice hit. 1 If the play Is made at the plate and the ball is fielded cleanly, no error, but the Erunner scores. I should think that it ! should not be scored as fielder's 1 choice, but the latter be given the l benefit of having his time at bat not charged against him
