MORE HOT MEDICINE
FOR NORMAL PLAYERS
Lancaster High School Athletes
Too Much For Them.
Second Base Ball Scrimmage Resulted
in Victory for the Local Nine
By Score of to 2.

All doubt as to whether Lancaster
high really has a better nine
than Platteville Normal was dis
PEELED last Saturday when the
former defeated the latter by a
score of to g. Despite the chilly
disagreeable weather fair sized
crowd gathered at the fair grounds
to witness the game, which was ex-
citing from start to finish. AS in
the former game Pennock's pitch
ing was a feature, the wearers of
the light blue being unable to get
an effective hit off of him.
Platteville seemed confident of
winning. Before the game they
worked out" much better than the
local team and as two days previous
they had defeated Lenox College,
one of the strongest college teams
in Iowa, by score of 3 to 2, every
thing last Saturday seemed to point
to their winning a second victory.
But they were up against the sama
proposition as they were two weeks
ago, better team in every depart
ment, and as the better team usual
lv wins the result was almost in
evitable.
The scoring started in Platteville's
half of the second inning. This
inning opened up by Enloe getting
to first through an error; then
Henderson and Hindes by timely
hitting brought their third base
man around to third and finally
home, scoring the first run of the
game. The score stood 1 to until
the third inning when good straight
hitting by Eggers, Smith and Burris
and two Dagger by Harry Basford
all helped to bring in three runs,
which gave the local team safe
lead of two runs. From then on
there was nothing doing until the
sixth when Reynolds scored for
Platteville by Henderson's hitting.
Lancaster started to score again
In the seventh just TO cinch the
game. Eggers and Pennock reg
istered at home in this inning, the
latter getting two Dagger in his
turn at bat. This ended the game
so far as run getting was concerned.
and when Pennock struck out Pat
terson, the last Normal man to face.
him, the joy of the rooters knew no
bounds.
It was in many ways the best
high school game ever played in
this city. It was thriller from the
first inning to the close Lancaster,
however exhibited superior hitting
and fielding and most of the fans
could see from the start how it
would result. PennOck struck out
IL men and Patterson, 4.
The score follows:

My Son, Get Wisdom.

How many boys of the present
day, sagely inquiries an exchange,
are taught this lesson: Ny son,
follow not the footsteps of the
loafer, and make no example of him
who was born tired, for verify I
say unto you, their business is over
stocked and the seats in the corn
ers are all taken. and the whiting
places are all occupied; it is better
to saw wood at two bits cord than
to white in a loafng match and
cuss the government. MY son,
whilst thou has left in thy skull
the sense of a jaybird, break away
from the cigarette habit, for 10, thy
breath stinketh like glue factory,
and thy whole appearance IS less
than a stone dummy. Yea, thou
art cipher with the rim knocked
off

Not Much Damage Here.

The frost and slight freeze of last
week does not appear to have done
much damage to anything in this
vicinity, the fruit buds not being
far enough advanced to sustain
material injury. Farther north in
the state and throughout southern
Minnesota killing frosts are reported
to have destroyed thousands of
acres of early garden truck and
worked great injury to fruit. In
Cincinnati, O., Lexington, KY, and
at Pittsburg, Pa. several inches of
snow fell while heavy frosts and
violent storms did much damage in
Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi and
Georgia and even as far to the
so uthwest as the Mexican border.

Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Fischer from

considered as defeat for the
advocates of large navy. Really,
it Is decided victory Although the
senate refused to provide for four
battleships this year, the senate
naval committee gave a definite
pledge that it would provide for

This means a consistent naval
programme, twenty battleships In

much pleased with the outcome.
