Sheriff Davis is going about the
conduct of the affairs of his office in
manner that should be decidedly
pleasing to the public. 1t is evil
dent that he intends a business ad-
ministration which will bring into
the treasury of the county all the
monies that it should have. In this
course he is entitled to all the aid
that can be given. The more thor
ough his tax and license collections
are the less each individual will have
to pay in carrying his just portion
of the expenses of government.

If the people of Ely want operation
of the suburban trains of the Nevada

they fence the trackage and provide

seem that they might properly call
on the railroad for further favor
In giving the service which has been
put on TO the depot in the town there
has certainly been liberality. Neither
request nor aid from Ely was asked
in the establishment of the service,
which for the business men of the
town is the biggest thing that has
been given them since the railroad
reached them from Cobre.

Eighth ward politicians and members

CUBS? GOING DOWN!

1t couldn't be called less matestes to
say the kings of the diamond were on
the bum yesterday when Boston shut
them out to 0 and pushed them back
into third place. Not so. The kings
were wise to their bad exhibition and
laughed it off with as good grace as
possible under the circumstances. The
Cubs got very tired and refused to try
their best Of course that wasn't quite
right but as long they had nary
q Iook-in for a run 1t didn't matter
whether Bostons score was held down
TO one run or allowed to soar to fifty.
Lindaman had a dandy out curve
working and it was no trouble at all
for him to dish out the blanks. Nor
decai Brown and Carlos Lundgren had
quite a different experience. Brownie
was sent over the high jumps in four
innings and '1undy" was soaked hard
in the three innings he pitched. Fin
ishing up the job was left to Mack, the
new college boy hurler. His pitching
wasn't particularly impressive, though
he was the best of the three. but he
came nightly close to making home
run In the ninth after two were out.

more leagues the teams that closed the

it hard to keep in the first division.
Among the champion teams that have

WHITING DEFEATS GARY.

The Whiting boilermakers defeated
the Gary boilermakers Sunday morn
ing al the White House grounds by a
score of u to g. The feature of the
game was the heavy hitting of Whit
ing's first baseman. Peterson. getting
four two base hits and the fine field
ing of Captain Keefe. Short-stop
Griffin made one of the best catches
of the day. making a dive in the air
in the second inning. pulling down the
ball with one hand. he had to take off
his cap to the crowd. John Poppen
went to bat in the ninth inning for
Bradley and got a home run with the
bases full. The Gary team tried hard
to win the game and if the rest of the
team put up the game that Williams
and Old Tom Collins did, there might
have been a better score. The Whiting
boilermakers will play the car shop
team Saturday afternoon and the
barrel house employees Sunday morn
ing at the White House grounds.
