The ball game yesterday afternoon
was rather Il mild affair and resulted
i'll an easy victory for the Elko team.
The Boomer Girls, four of whom are
men. played very poor ball and the
Elko boys showed their gallantry in the
last inning by letting the Girls score
three t~allics, making the final score
stand . to III favor of ElkO. Attorney
Henderson u,npircd the game. If the
BlGomcr Girls can't play ball. they
know how to graft. According 10
reports. 80 cents was charged for admis-
sion to the ground and another 80 cents
for Il seat. This is double what spncta-

The republican papers are beginning
to harp upon the useless aud expen-
sive' offices created by the special
session Of the Legislature. The Tonopah
Bonanza paradcs the list created by
the police law and charges the demo-
Gratis for being responsible for the
offices created and the defects of the
law. What Hypocrisy The Bonanza
knows that the police law is the pro
duct of II joint committee, composed
equally of republicans and democrats
and that it WAS passed by Il republican
senate. The police law may be de
~fcCtivc, but whatever its defects. neither
party can throw the responsibility for
them upon the other.
