The Issuance OF Warrants.

State Auditor Searle, who was out
Of the city, wrote his deputy, II. l..
Cook. suggesting the possib lily Of re-
framing from issuing state warrants
during the present financial furry. Mr..
Searle's idea was that the money OF
the state would thereby be left in the
banks. The law on this course was
investigated by Mr.. Cook as soon as
the suggestion was received and he
declared it impossible to take such
acton. Mr.. Searle was cognizant of
the poe .. mandamus suit
being effective AGAINST him, but he
thought the general sentiment of tho
people Of Nebraska would back him.

Foolish Bunting.

The Clarksburg West Penn team
may attribute its defeat yesterday
largely to the unaccountable, unrea-
sonable and senseless desire Of the
players to indulge in the sacrifice
bunting stunt when men were on
bases and a god long drive or a hit
would have brought the men in in
stead of advancing them one bag.
Beaver Falls did not waste any time
nor opportunities in fooling around
with the sacrifice hit foolishness but
smashed the ball out into the dia-
mond and the field. There is not
much sense in players trying to do
the little hunt act every time
q man gets on base. The idea OF the
game is to have the players get
around the bases az swiftly ana as
often as possible. manager Huling
should instruct his players to play
bali instead of wasting time and OPP
portunities Of winning the game try
ing to make fancy sacrifice hunts
that should be used only in cases of
extreme necessity when the batsman
is not a good hitter or there is some
other extenuattng circumstance.
