MISSIONARIES ARE
SCRATCHED BY CATS
Co:Ieoians Unable to Do Anything
With the Fast Bunch of leasuers
From Aberdeen.

In a slow game, played on Ankeny
field yesterday afternoon, he Aber-
deem Black Cats handed a bunch to
the collegians that looked like five to
a goose-egg. The aeroplane scared
among the clouds in the first scene,
when he Cats connected without diff
Guilty with Bennington's benders, and
he walked several felines before he
had recovered his composure. In the
fourth inning Belt succeeded Benning-
ton on the throne, and although it was
his first appearance in the box for the
Missionaries, his work was of an ex-
cellent standard.
The leaguers found difficulty in hitting
him, and run in but one score during
the last three innings of the game.
The game was devoid of features, ex-
cept the sure fielding of Bassett at
center Siever was in the box for the
leaguers, and was replaced by Pernoll.
Whitman was allowed but two hits
during the six innings, one by Schu-
bert over second base, and another
by Schmidt in the last inning. The
third game of the series will be played
this afternoon at 5:15, if the weather
permits.

state corporation commission having
handed down an opinion in favor of
the railroads in the matter of the petit

mile to two and a half cents, all the
roads in the state which have been
operating under the tWo-cent maxi

two and a half cents
The commission is not unanimous
in it's award, Judge Prentis and COL
onel Willard voting for the increase
as asked by the roads and Judge Rnea
dissenting and urging that the old
rate is not, to his mind, unreason-
able or unjust He holds that before
any increase whatever is permitted
the roads should give assurance that
they will place on sale and keep on
sale, books to be sold at two cents q
