MEETING POSTPONED
Heavy Rain Interfered With Speak
ing Monday Night

On account of the heavy rain
on Monday night, the speaking
advertised for that evening at
the court house was postponed,
which was a great disappoint-
ment, as with favorable weather
the court house would have
been inadequate to hold the
many who were anxious to hear
J. r. Cain, jr., and the members
of the legislative ticket, who
were to speak.
The only open date now will
be on Saturday evening, Oct.31,
when ali tire speakers schedul-
ed for last Monday night. to-
gether with some prominent
state speaker will be here. A
splendid meeting is expected
and it is hoped that nothing &
will happen to prevent our peo-
pie from being present on that

THE LAST GAME
Falls City and Highland Meet With
Our Team Winner

Only one of the two games adj
vertised for last week betweeen
Falls City and Highland was
played, and only a portion of that,
with our boys i'll the lead. There
was little trouble between the
players, which is greatly regret
ted by all, and as some of our
boys were going to leave town
which would weaken our team to
an alarming extent, it was
thought best to pay the visitors
the amount of their guarantee
and allow them to go home, which
they did.
This will doubtless be the last
game this season, and it seems
to us that now is an opportune
time to talk base ball for next
year. With the splendid bunch
of players we have, and this years
record to back them, there is no
reason why a champion base
ball team for 1909 could not be
made an assured fact.
The boys deserve much praise
for the efforts they made this
season, and for the excellent
sport they furnished our people.
1t has all been done without one
cent of recompense to them, and
it is sincerely hoped that our peo-
pie will show their appreciation
by boost for a 1909 base ball
team

In the coursing meet at SUIT
ton last week, the dog owned by
George Prater won first place
in one of the races. George
was offered 500 for his dog but
refused the offer. In the next
race, however, the dog broke
the toe nails off OF both front
and one hind foot, rendering it
almost worthless. 1t is feared
the animal has run his last race.

DOUBLE HEADER
FALLS CITY ACCEPTS CHAL-
LENoE OF AUBURN TEAM
Wins TWO Games of Basket Ball
From Opponents on Last Sat
urday Afternoon

About two weeks ago our High
School boys and girls basket
ball teams received an invitation
10 come to Auburn Saturday.
Oct. Il, for the purpose of
being slaughtered by players
representing the Auburn High
High School.
Accordingly, last Saturday
morning our teams, loaded in
three automobiles. made their
way over hill and vale to the fair
village to the northward, to play
a practice game.
They arrived i'll Auburn at
high noon and were we'll fed be-
fore the game.
AT two thirty the girls teams
came forth upon the field of bat
tie. The whistle blew, Lucille
our center, gave the signal and
the game was on. The feature
of the game was the guarding by
Maud Davis and Grace Reavis, by
reason of which the ball scarcely
got into Auburn's half of the
field.
Camille Leyda did some good
work at goal throwing and ouc
two forewards, Clara Stockton
and Bertha Stumbo were free
from the grounds nearly all the
time. One of the Peru Normal's
star players said the team work
was the best he had ever seen in
a girls game.
When the dust had cleared
away and Auburn had FINALLY
awakened to what was going on
the score stood q to 3 in favor
of Falls City.
The score in the boys game
was a little closer but no time in
the game did Auburn show either
as good individual or team work
as Falls City.
Last year when our boys beat
Auburn, Auburn attributed it TO
the fact that our boys were
heavier, but this year they have
by far the heavier team in avoir-
dupois We haye proved to you
now, Auburn that your defeat
last year was not due 10 the boys
weight. When the din of battle
ceased, the referee announced,
Fails City wins the game, score
20 to A." Everyone of the boys
played the game every minute.
The line up was Fred Herbster
center; David Reavls and Frank
kanaly, forwards; Amos Yoder
and Virgil Falcon, guards.
We were nearly "slaughtered'
alright but we had two good
practice" games and brought
home their scalps. Messrs. Mel
son, Crook and Crush drove the
cars, and much credit is due them
for the careful manner in which
they haudle their cars and for
their courtesy and kindness.
The salute and sign of recog-
nition of the crowd was, one
finger up and two short whistles,
taught us by Nelson, who never
forget TO salute those who passed.
The ladies of Auburn hod a hard
time taking care of Crook during
the game. Everyone enjoyed the
trip, and especially the victory.
