seventh. While they didn't reach
him for safe hits. the little
grounders would be fumbled by
him and the man at bat make tito
first. Our fellows we're told that
they could not find Wolf. and for
a while it looked as though they
knew what they we're talking
about. Great Bend went to bat
FIRST. The 6rst man went out, the
second man walked. but before be
could get any action on himself
two others went out. and Kinsley
came in. The first two up went
out. The next man got round to
third and stayed there. as the
fourth man didn't get any place.
In the second Wolf walked the
hrst man uD. the second went out.
third man got to first but was put
out trying to steal second and the
next man went out. In this in
ming Kinsley's first man up scored.
the next man went out. the next
two got on to the bases. but be-
fore getting any place two others
went out. In the third Great
Bend got a man to third, but that
was all. Kinsley got six men on
the end If the stick. but OF " one
of thern scored. No more scores
we're made by either side until the
sixth. Some OF them went out
easy, and some of them not so
easy, dying on the bases. In the
fifth. Bevis, the heavy batter with
the KiDsley crowd was the first
man up and got his usual two
Dagger. Four other man followed
him at bat, but so close did our
boys watch the biscuit man that
when the side was retired be still
held second. and as that was his
position in the game he did not
need to move. In this inning is
where our boys found the man
from Macksville, in the box for
Klnsley. A regular balloon as
cension began. and when the
smoke had cleared away, although
seven of the boys had gone to
bat, only two scored. This even
ed the game, and Great Bend fans
began to scent victory in the air
and ginger up a little. Kinsley
was seen retired. and then came
that fatal seventh. Wolf got his
pitching clothes back on and our
side retired in short order. Then
another balloon ascension took
place. but Kinsley was riding the
ship. They got every man on
the team at bat before the side
was retired, four men crossing
the home plate. Weiland was hit
but not so bad. When he didn't
fumb,e them some one else did,
and each time some one would
score, Kinsley getting their first
man up to third in short order,
and always seeming to have a man
there when a bad play was made.
This made things look mighty
blue for Great Bend, Thorsten-
berg was put back in the box, and
held. Kinsley down. There still
we're two innings to do some
thing in. Everybody got back
into the game in the eight, and if
the crowd had been where they
belonged there might have been at
least one score made. Putnam was
the first man up. Kinsley's first
baseman dropped the ball. Put
started for second. the renowned
Bevis dropped the ball. Put start
ed for third. the man on third
dropped the ball, and Put started
for home. Everyone was pretty
much excited. and the crowd on the
east side of the diamond got to
close to it. Put. not being able to
see lust where the third baseman
went after the call or where he
got it started for home and was
caught. 1t was unfortunate.
The next two men went out easy.

Contestino the Primary.

Sioux City Journal: The California
supreme court has sustained the con
stitutionality of a clause in the pri-
mary law requiring every voter to
state his party affiliation at the time
of registration. The decision Is likely
to have a dampening effect on the
plans of former Senator w. V. Allen,
who has been threatening to contest
the validity of the Nebraska primary
provision requiring each voter to de-
clare his party affiliation when calling
for a ballot. Senator Aliens theory is
that it is none of the states business
what ticket a man votes at any OLD
election. The theory can be applied
nicely to a general election, but 1t
cannot be applied to a primary. In a
primary law the state undertakes to
regulate the method of making nomi-
nations by the various political parties,
In order to make the regulation ac-
complish its purpose it is necessary
party lines be preserved. In order 10
preserve party lines it is necessary to
see that each voter shall not have &C.
cess to the tickets of all parties.
Some regulation to carry out this OBJ
iect is needed if the system of making
party nominations at a primary is not
to become a farce If the state has
the right to regulate the making of
party nominations it is absurd to say
It has not the right to do whatever IS
absolutely necessary to make the sys-
TEN a success. If former Senator Al
len wants to contest the Nebraska pri'
mary on logical grounds he should
base his case on the theory that the
state has no right to interfere with
the nominating methods of voluntary
associations such as political parties
might be held to be. A lively argu
ment could be put up on that point
though the chances for a successful
outcome of the contest might not be
at all bright.
