FIRST GAME.

IL was Zmich against Holmquist in
the opener of the matinee and al
though Marion was not held hitless in
any one inning and in all garnered
Just twelve safe smashes, they were
so well scattered and timed just
right TO produce only one run, the
second Digger count coming In on
Portsmouth misplay. Diggers were on
the paths in every inning but there
was always something to either pick
them off or catch them before they
had touched the rubber so zealously
garded by one heavy Mr.. Ragsdale.
The Portsmouth effort against
Zlnich was n rather weak one, so
masterful was the heaving. With Ma
rion a run to the good in the third
the most exciting time of the whole
matinee occurred.
Ragsdale poled to center for
base. Holmquist laid down a bunt
q force of Ragsdale but his heave at
tempted 10 sacrifice the pair and his
perfect hunt rolled along just inside
the foul line and went for a hit.
That filed the sacks with no outs and
the game looked all Portsmouth. It
seemed more so when Zmich hit
Jackson and forced in Ragsdale with
the run that tied the score. But
here there came about a change. The
big southpaw pulled himself together
and working every thing that he had
with him, famed O'Day, the mighty
Spencer and Totman in n row while
Portsmouth runners on the bricks
were waiting for a clout to score
them II was a magnificent effort and
one of the prettiest pieces of work
O; the season.
After that the Portsmouth attack
was mighty weak and there never
was a real chance for Zmich to be-
come worried. In all the callers Sc
cured only five safeties. Two Of these
were good clean smashes, the others
were on the finfield.
Marion scored in the first round on
clean bit OF hitting by Wolfe and
Williams. With one down Wolfe
doubled to right center and Williams
followed it up with a smash along the
right line. sending in Wolfe. Williams
vas caught off by Holmqu list, who
was getting away with a regular
FRINGE Sneak stunt In the box that dur
ing the game brought several to sor-
row. Staley popped to Conwell on foul
ground.
Staley paved the way for the win
ming run with double to left in the
fourth. Abbott filed TO Blake and Reil-
ly beat out hopper to O'Day, send
ing Staley to third. Willoughby and
Staley then became muddled on the
squeeze. The runner thought Will
iCughby gave him the signal and
started in. Willoughby who claims
he did not, hit the ball hard and sent
out a long Fly to Jackson in left. The
drive would have been sufficient ia

The Municipal Election

This spring, there will be no party

each ward to succeed Alderman Huen-
efeld, Hartwig. Humphrey, Ryan,
Klemann. Kerr and Strauss, all of
whom have given good service to the
city the past two years and some
much longer gratutiousiy, and now,
that the aldermen are to receive a
salary for their services, it is but
right and just they should be reflect
ed for another term. and it would be
decidedly wrong to not return them,
if candidates for reelection. AS to
supervisors, there does not appear to
be any opposition to the present in
cumbents: F. Prentiss, first ward !;

asking him to make inquiry and as
certain il Mr.. Wieseman is the same
man who worked for certain man in

trusted to Bert Smith the mail carrier
ON that route who made sscertainlng
that he was the identical man handed
him the registered letter which con-
tanned a money order for the full
amount of the original debt uponwhich
$50 had already been paid. The debtor
soon after his failure moved to Cali

Hints for Business Men

There is a great difference between
speculation and investment.
Competition calls out resources, de-
velops ones ingenuity, and stimulates
initiative.
Cultivate your customers-"A pleased
customer is the best advertisement"
Keep a superior class of goods, for
people remember quality longer than
they do price.
Cutting your prices to injure the man
next door is cutting off your nose to
spite your face"
In advertising, the economy of to-day
is often the loss of tomorrow; the ex-
pense of to-day the profit Of tomorrow.
Remember that when you are selling
your services you are selling your repu-
tation also, just as the merchant sells
his reputation with his goods. The rep
utation is made up of the sum Of all his
sales, purchases, and other transactions.
Avoid people who depress you. Some
people are so sensitive to the personal
tiles of others, that they are not really
themselves when in their presence
They are disconnected, thrown off their
balance, like planet which is DETECTED
from its course when nearing some other
heavenly body.
