DOWN WENT SALINA
ABILENE DID UP VISITORS BY
r SCORE OF s'TO 4.
Fine Game of Ball Put up With
Home Team Doing Good Job
All decentralization Lost
on Errors.
IFTom Tuesdays Daily.l

Salina met its Waterloo yesterday
when it bucked up against Abilene.
Abilene showed good form with the
exception of the fifth inning when 1t
made a couple of rank errors letting
Salina score. However, after the
dust had cleared off the diamond af-
ter the first half of the ninth inning
the enthusiastic fans were satisfied
as the score board registered to l
in Abilene's favor.
In the first and second innings
neither team was able to do a thing
but in the third the Abilene aggre-
CATION received an epidemic called the
batting fever. The locals, after the
previous two innings of close inspec-
ton discovered the treachery of
Baird's delivery and pounded the min
ut spherical horsehide all over the
lot.
Williams led to the bat in the
third and went to first on an error by
Ouigley. Burton was next up and
spanked the ball to center who COB
bled it up. Ellis then stepped to the
pan and smashed out pretty hit to
right scoring Williams and gained
second from the throw from right to
home. Manager Wilson was next on
deck. The throng Of enthusiasts In
the grand stand were now as silent as
death. Baird wound up, let drive and
Wilson stuck viciously at the ball

the grandstand now yelped and howl

and we're justified in doing SO. That
was all as the next two up went back
to the bench for a drink.
There was no more scoring until the
fifth when Leonard Of salina slapped

inst Punched His Head.

A brakeman on the U. P. freight
told this story at salina Of an ex-
perince in Abilene yesterday. He had
made a coupling and was connect
ing the air with the tender and a
car. The bar attached to the rear
of the tender and a projection Of the
car caught his head as he was stoop-
ing down to connect the air. The
cars pinched tight enough to hold
him yet not hard enough to break any
bones or even crack the skin. A
quarter Of an inch more and the ac-
cident would have ben fatal. The
engine pulled forward and released
the man. The brakeman was intur-
ed but not badly, but he said the sem
sation Of having ones head pinched
between cars was terrible.

What's new for the Fourth of July?
Nothing much in fireworks. There
is the usual assortment which will
perform the usual stunts and for the
same price. There are the usual can
mons which explode too soon as usual
and inflict burns as usual.
There are fire crackers OF course
Of all sizes. The five cent packages
are embellshed with grotesque and

Then there are larger crackers up to
the ten centers which are big enough
to shake down building.
Torpedoes. pin wheels, rockets, red
nd green fire, roman candles, Niger
chasers, snakes in the grass, all the
same old kinds are in the usual album
dance.
There is an improvement on the
paper balloon, some of these contain
sparkers which burn many minutes in
the air, throwing stars downward as
they trail through the sky.
Another novelty which promises to
become popular, is the electric spark
er. This spark throws out fiery stars
but the fire is not contagious. 1t can
be lighted indoors as well as out as
tro fiery stars will burn nothing with
which they come in contact. not even
curtains. They burn for many min
utes.
The nIckle and dime assortments
promise to be popular. The dime as
sentiments contain twelve pieces, big
ones, such as large sized sky rockets,
flower pots, whistles, etc. The nickle
are half sized.

"DEcORATlONS BEST OF
ALL" SAYS MEMBER OF
NEW YORK POLICE FORCE

This is the prettiest decorated city
] have ever had the pleasure to visit
said Detective Peter Dondero of the
Metropolitan police department of New
York city, who arrived in Los Angeles
yesterday to take back a prisoner.
81 have been in most of the larger
cities In this country and a number OF
the European capitals on gala occa-
sions, but none of them equal the dec
orations on the downtown streets here
The bright sunshine with tae COO
breeze makes this an ideal city, and
without flags or buntings it would be
away ahead of other places.
81 would like to remain here to the
end of the convention and see the big
parade, but must leave here Monday
and 1t will be my one regret that
must leave before the gala occasion is
scarcely begun"
Detective Dondero is making the best
of his short stay in this city. and after
transacting his business with the de-
tective headquarters yesterday morn
ing began tour of the city sight

SUCH

Yesterday afternoon it was decided

accordingly ordered out by Capt.
Smith. Their costumes represent golf
suits. a red jacket, gray knee trousers,
green stockings and tan" shoes. Each
carried a golf stick to which was at
tached a pennant bearing the words
Cincinnati and Hermann. The col
umn OF men, numbering 175. marching
four abreast, made an imposing ap-
it is said, was suggested by the fact
that President Taft has 81 strong
weakness" for golf.
The Cincinnati delegation, headed by
a band of forty pieces, marched north
on Spring street to Temple block and

Nothing can be added to or taken from
it, and it must be judged by what has
been done. | have remained neutral
i'm this contest up to this time. Now
that / have finished l say to you that
| hope that the mission on which you
have travelled so far will be accom-
plished, and that, when you return to
Cincinnati, you will carry back with
you that for which you came, the
highest honor in the gift of our
order"
This was cheered by not only the
Cincinnatians, but by a large number
of other Elks who had followed the
visitors to Mr.. Hollands headquarters
and heard his speech. Many of these
were Californians. who seemed to be
equally enthusiastic with the Cincin-
natians in the cause of Hermann.
This is the first public declaration OF
the grand exalted ruler in favor of
any candidate for the position which
he will vacate next Tuesday.

Judge ]. u. Sammis of lie Mars, Iowa,
made the following statement: In ad-
dition to what has been stated already,
/ will say that Arizona, Wyoming and
Nevada will be practically solid for me.
We have received very encouraging
news from Washington and oregon. we
believe the trend is in our direction,
and our argument of bestowing honors
for service is gathering strength all the
time. This is the only issue we desire
to inject into the campaign. The best
of feelings prevail between us, and
today we have exchanged courtesies and
visits, and will continue to do So"
The Iowa delegation, about 400 strong,
with the Fifty-fourth regiment band,
consisting of sixty pieces, will arrive

though his special train, with 300 peo-
pie aboard. arrived between l and 2

said while the train was delayed the
trip was a pleasant one.
MY campaign is and has been in

states, and our information is so en-
eouraging that we expect to win hands
down. Reports strengthen our cause
every hour. The Cincinnati delegation
Is particularly gratified at the support
received in California 1t is quite a
compliment and we appreciate it,"
1t was stated that a wire had been
