CROSS COUNTRYS
BEATEN IN NINTH
Charles City Raps Out Four Consecu-
tive Hits and Makes the
Count to 2.

Waverly, Iowa, Aug. 10.-Argus Spe-
cial 1.-The Cross Countrys met with
defeat yesterday at the hands of
Charles City by the score of 1 to 2,
the game being played at Waverly.
1t was a fast and snappy contest
throughout and everything looked
good for a victory for the Cross Coun-
try Toys, but in the ninth, with the
score to 1 in favor of the Rock Is
idnders, Charles City tied it up and
wor. out by securing four consecutive
Lifts and scoring three runs. The
feature of the game was Engmau's
work at short. He accepted 13 chances
without an error, some of which were
very difficult, and secured the hit that
scored both runs for the Cross Coun-
trys. Score by innings:

run. That was all there was adding,
and then the side went to the wall
still needing a run to tie.
Short on Hits.
In the first game it was a case of the
peddler running short on hits and hav-
ing to sell short Johnny Baker was
doing the handing out for the Infants,
and he had only two hits for sale.
Lundin and Murphy each purchased
one, and the others had TO wait until
a larger supply was brought from the
burg up the river by Isaacs and Moore
Murphy's hit was fDr an extra base,
and as it happened that Neal had been
allowed to reach first on Reitz's wild
throw to get him a run resulted that
prevented a shut-out for the Islanders.
Neal was all to the bad for some rea-
son or other yesterday, and Clinton
found him for II safe ones. At the
same time his support was miserable
and four errors aided greatly in the
four runs gathered in by the Infants.

No Fear of Japanese War.

Since the Russian war Japan has
dad long, hard road to travel in
financial affairs, and its credit in the
loan market is practically exhausted.
While it may be that war with such
a nation is to he feared there appears
to be no imemdiate necessity of

GAMES TOMORROW.
Rock Island at Dubuque.
Clinton at Cedar Rapids.
Decatur at Springfield.
Bloomington at Peoria.

The second game yesterday was one
of the old fashioned kind of town lot
games which supplied a peck of fun
for the spectators and incidentally
added little to the batting averages
of the champs. Wilson started the
twiriing for the locals, but retired in
the fourth inning after he had turned
his ankle in sliding to second on a
steal. Lakaff took his place and filled
it WELL and finally won the game.
Isaacs began the game on the has
sock for the Infants, but the spanking
he got from the champs took all the
ginger out of him, and in the third in
ming lie called for relief, which came
in the shape of Moore. Moore was
little if any more effective than his
predecessor, and run after run was
pushed over the pan until the total of
eight was reached, and then the
slaughter stopped. The game was a
see-saw game all the way through,
with Clinton usually a little in the
rear, but up and coming.
There were more funny plays in the
game than one usually sees in a month
of Sundays. For instance, Tighe, in
trying TO kick-up a dust at first base,
who had scored was sent back to third
on the plea from the visitors that Jack
had purposely kicked the ball.
And Louie Kicked Ball.

could dig, but the ball had rolled out
of Nieman's hands right up against
Cooks foot, and when he made his
| fast getaway he sent the ball a-rollins
out of the backstop's reach. Jumps
saw that Louie had kicked it, and call
ed him out, which of course was the
proper thing to do under the circum

Kept Sending En- Ovcs.

The champs made the eight scores by
gathering in one, two or three at a
time, according to the chances which
presented themselves. Two came in
in the initial inning on hits by Murphy
and Cook, a base on balls by Stark,
and Romans error in throwing Nova
cek's grounder through Buelow. In
the third inning the champs started af-
ter IsaacS again, and after a pair of
hits had been gathered in by Lundin
and Berger and man had been issued
a free pass, Manager Buelow thought
lit about time to get the hook, and
Moore took his place, with no better
success, as the next man was given a
! pass. forcing in one run, and then Will
| son hit a safe one that scored another
man. and if Wise had managed to
keep out of its way, two would have
come in on it. Eddie stepped right in
front of it, and it hit him, putting him
out for being hit by batted ball and
making Berger, who had come home,
go back to third. He only stayed there
a minute, though, and then Stark

While the Islanders were piling up
the runs, though, Clinton was right on
their heels in point of totals. One
came in the first, and in the next a
pair of twin sackers and considerable
loose playing, coupled with pair of
free passes, netted four great big tall
lies which looked formidable until the
champs got busy with the stick in the

AGAINST BIRD SLAUGHTER.


The New Iberia LIE lder says: Com
plants are made by various cltlzens
living at the outskirts OF the city anu
for that matter, by Others, who live
not SO far out, but who have large
properties. that the small boys are
playing havoc with tle birds, nOt
even respecting the mocking blrd,tae
ferthered souuster OF the south and
one of the best friends of the farmer
and planter.
Not less than eight small boys
armed with either air or 22-callor"
rifles were counted in one trip about
,;ue ogtskirts Of the city yesterday ana ana
! each of them was no respector Of any
kind OF bird that happened into
his range OF vision. In several in
stances these boys not only pursued
their prey through the streets and un-
fen, ed lots but they entered the lots
and yards that we're fenced despite
the protests OF the property owners.
Ia several parts of the state the
people are making strenuous efforts to
} have the game law made still more
strict and are urging that they be
} enforced strictly. The State Bureau
5 of Agriculture is issuing documents
. that 60 to prove that one reason the
| boil weevil is sn dangerous to the cot
/ ton crop is that the birds have been
s killed off, and right here in the city
d outskirts, the boys are engaged IN
!. daily hunts for some Of the feathered
b friends that should be unmolested.
f The general opinion seems to be
0 that the small bows hunting propen-
: sites should be curbed by some
n means.
