MANY errors
LOSE BALL GAME
FOR TONOPAH
TEAM WINS CON-
TEST BY A SCORE OF
FIVE TO FOUR

Sundays journey to Goldfield by
the Tonopah ball team proved rath-
err disastrous for the invaders, for
the game was lost by score of 3
to 4. Tonopah had the game we'll
in hand until the fifth inning, when
the score stood to O. An error
by Agnew on second base and fly
missed by Morris in center field.
were responsible for the five runs
that ensued. The inning proved a
comedy of errors" which bore a
close resemblance to a tragedy.
The Tonopah team showed con-
siderable Improvement in stick work
and, with the exception of two err
rors, played good game through
out AS the series now stands.
Goldfield has one the best of the
games played. The two remaining
games will be played on the coming
Sundays, one in Tonopah and the
other on the Goldfeld diamond.

NEVADA Wins
FOOTBALL GAME
FROM U. OF P.
PLAYERS OF THE SAGEBRUSH
STATE VICTORIOUS BY
SCORE OF 43 TOO

Victory perched on the banners
of the University of Nevada foot
ball team at Reno Saturday when
they defeated the team from the
University of the Pacific by a score
of 43 to 0. The Nevada players
completely outclassed the visitors
from the start and made the first
score within half a minute after
play started. At no time did the
Californians have a chance to score
The reports received here state that
over 1000 people witnessed the
game, which shows that football
has secured a hold ON the residents
of Reno The only thing lacking
in the report was the absence of
the name of any player from this
city. There are several students at
the university from Tonopah who
are making records in the study
line, but as yet have failed to ap-
pear in any of the athletic events.

CASINO STARS
ARE DEFEATED BY
HERTEL'S TEAM
EXCITING CONTEST ENDS WITH
THE CLOSE SCORE OF
% TO 10

Pete Hertel's champions lived up
to their name yesterday when they
crossed bats with the Casino Stars.
The contest was one of the most ex-
citing ever witnessed on the local
diamond and when the smoke had
cleared away at the end of the
ninth the score stood % to 10. The
score itself speaks for the closeness
of the game, and but for the SPLEEN
did support afforded both pitchers,
the tally would have been much
larger.
Both the Stars and Champs were
cheered on by large and enthusiast
tic following. Owing to dispute
over the pitcher for the Champions,
the bets were declared off prior to
the opening of the game.
Owing to the closeness of the
score, it is thought return game
will be played at an early date.

SCHOOL OPENING
 BIG, DESPITE FAIR

Despite the allurements of the coun- ty fair, the big auditorium of the new public school building was packed to it's capacity when the hour arrived this morning for the opening of the annual session. Superintendent Wa ters was unable this afternoon to give any figures on the enrolment, but states it will be practically as large as last year, despite the absence of a large number in the high school, who were attending the fair
 The opening exercises were brief but interesting. Dr. J. E. Godbey and President Stonewall Anderson of Hen dirk college, President J. J. Doyne of the State Normal, and J. G. Lile of Magnolia, formerly president of Cen tral college, made short addresses, af- ter which the announcements were made by Superintendent s. S. Waters. Nearly all of the board of directors and a considerable number of visitors were present.
 After the opening exercises the pu- pills filed into their respective rooms and their names were enrolled by the teachers, after which school adjourned for the day, and with joyous shouts the majority of the pupils started on a run for the fair grounds.
 Only halliday morning session of the school will be held tomorrow, and the school will be dismissed the entire day Wednesday, but regular sessions will begin Thursday morning.

RAILROAD WILLING
 TOS|CN PETITION

If there was any lingering doubt as lrent to organize a waterworks im- lroyement district in Conway, it was this morning removed upon the receipt of q letter from an authentic and oTi- cal source signifying the willingness If the St. Louis, Iron Mountain and Southern Railway Company to sign the petition of the property owners
 The letter was received by President J, frauenthal of the Board of Trade in response to an inquiry sent the com pany some weeks ago, and was writ ten by Tax Commissioner Charles Waldrich of the Missouri Pacific sys- tenn. MT. Waldrich states that the company is ever ready to promote the best interests of the sections through which it traverses, and, believing that waterworks is one of Conway's great est needs, the company stands ready to assist the movement in every way. He says that company at time has been treated unfairly in the assessments in improvement districts in other cities, but he anticipates no difficulty along this line here. He requests that a blank petition be forwarded for the company's signature.
 The addition of the railroad com pany, with real estate assessment within the district of over $40,000, "cinches' the organization beyond any question. Already more than a ma iority of the property in the district has gone on record as favoring water works, with at least one-third of the property owners yet to be seen.
 Although the requisite number of signers is more than assured, it is un- | derstood that the committee in charge ! of the canvass for signers will hold the petitions open for a few weeks longer, in order to give everyone an opportunity to sign. Under the law, three months is allowed from the pub lication of the first ordinance until the presentation of the final petition, and only about one-half this time has elapsed.
