Republican Strength In Maintenance

POOR PLATTEVILLE
IS CANNED AGAIN
Lost All Four Games Of Series
to Lancaster.
Locals Have Beaten The Cubs Eight
Games Out OF Eleven This Sea-
son-6 to 1 yesterday.

The locals defeated the Plattevllle
team on Wednesday by score OF 5
80 1. The game was very interest
! ing contest and with the exception OF
two or three costly errors was we'll
played by both teams. Piddington
and Negar were the opposing twirleTs,
and che big south paw had the better

He was at his best, allowing but six
scattered hits striking out s, and
giving free transportation to- bat one
Cub. We're it not for q costly. error
with two out in the last inning, he
would have shut out his opponents.
On the other hand Negar allowed nine
hits, nearly all of which were time
~ He felded bunts like an amateur
and played in great luck to hold the
locals to FIVE scores.
For two innings the game was an
alright contest neither team scoring.
In the third Pennock singled, was
sacrificed TO second by Ames and
scored on Ahern's sacrifice to center
field. With the exception of two
fruitless singles by Madden and Gleg-
horn this ended the doings in this
inning.
In the fourth Piddy drew a pass and
Eggers who ran for him went down TO
second Gu a passed ball by Smith and
scored on Palmer's timely single.
The locals now tried the bunting
game and it went we'll. Hauser
hunted Palmer to second. Pennock
beat out one of the same kind scoring
Jack. This ended the scoring for
this stanza. In the fifth Gleg singled.
Friend and Piddingtoh did likewise.
These hits with the aid of an error
and an overthrow Melted the locals
two more, all they wanted and more
than they needed to win the game.
In the eighth Platteville scored
their only run. Two were down and
two were on bases when Madden
fumbled Katz hit letting in Bird
Outside of Piddington' s pitching
the feature of the game was Palmer's
work in left field and at the bat. His
catch of a low drive after hard run
was one of the most sensational bits
of fielding ever seen on the local
diamond.

SPARKS FROM THE DIAMOND.

AS a Winning pitcher, Piddington
has few equals in this section. When
the big fellow steps onto the slab
the fans and the opposing team know
that he will give them a run for
their money. He is a good outfelder
too.
Gleghorn is putting up a great
game this season. He works we'll be-
hind the bat and fairly kills the
leather with men on bases His base
running is one of the strong points of
the team.
Ames pitched good game against
Platteville Tuesday, and the contest
should't have gone ten innings.
The local fielders worked like clock
during the Platteville series here.
Pennock is still playing the same
consistent ball that character lied his
work last season. His hits are
timely. he fields we'll. and is fast on
the bases.
Not much horseshoe luck about
those games we won from Platteville
this week The management allowed
the Platteville team to bring their
own umpire and gave them as square
deal as a visiting team ever re-
ceived in any town.
The team ends It's out of town
games at Galena tomorrow. Galena
plays here Tuesday and Wednesday.
Frank Foster, who played with
Lancaster last year and this year
with the Platteville Cubs, has been
forced to quit base ball on account
of nervous trouble. Foster has
always been a popular player here
and the fans regret to hear of his
forced retirement.
That wool on the teeth that the
Platteville paper stated was an es-
sential physical feature of the local
team to possess before it beat the
Cubs was not found wanting during
the series just closed.
Billy Phyle, who pitched for the
locals in 1895, is now playing sec
ond base for Toronto in the Eastern
league.

SUPPOSED DEAD

MAN SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN BURIED ON DESERT APPEARS AT POLICE STATION IN CAPITAL CITY LAST WEEK.

PHOENIX, December l6.-" Why,
 These sensational words were spoken know you. l buried you once!" early Saturday morning in the office of City Marshal Moore. They were ad dressed to James Mccormick by man who had just arrived in the city and who was then negotiating for the pur- chase of one of McCormick's burros.
 Explanations followed, and the mar shal learned that two years ago Me- Cormick was lost on the Mojave desert. He did not return to the point whence he started and his friends became un- easy about his fate. A searching party was organized, this man being one of the members.
 After combing the desert for time they came across the mummifed remains of man. The features were distorted out of all recognition but it was thought the corps was that of Mccormick It was buried on the spot, and no one sus- pected for long time that the remains inferred were not really those of ''Old Jim.''
 Later, however, news came that Me Cormick had been seen at another point, alive and well.

TERRIFIC EXPLOSION 0N ESPEE AT
 YU M A
BOILER OF FREIGHT ENGINE BLOWS UP, KILLING THREE TRAINMEN INSTANTLY - AN OTHER IS BADLY SCALDED.

YUMA, December l6.--About three o'clock Saturday morning, as the east bound freight was pulling down the grade and out ~ the Beaumont yards, one of those unfortunate accidents oc- cured that no one can account for or lay the blame in proper place.
 The train was in charge of Conductor Guy II. Brockman and Engineer Dave Mcdonald and the fireman. who name is Ray Reynolds, and none of them are left to tell the tale.
 At this point the conductor very ire quently climbs aboard the engine and goes down the grade on the front end of his train. This must have been how it happened that he was there at that time, but why the boiler burst no one will ever know for sure.
 Guy H. Brockman was popular with the Yuma people, respected and loved by large number He was on the train that run from here to the upper head ing while the big fill was made that shut the river from Salton Sea, and was young railroader of much promise His death is doubly sad as he was an only son, and a mainstay for large family, whose home is on Buena Vista street, Los Angeles.
 Dave Mcdonald, the engineer, was not so well known, but his friends say that he was one of the whitest men who ever pulled a throttle, and could always be,counted on to do his duty. For these qualities he was held in very high es- teem by the officials under whom he labored.
 The fireman, Ray Reynolds, was also out of Yuma, but was not as well known as the other boys.
 Brakeman Williams was badly scala ed by escaping steam, and his death may yet be added to the list.
