Will leave no stone unturned to adj
minister a second Wallop to the Wis
iting Las Vegas delegation When
they play here on the coming Sun
day.
Las Vegas is credited with hay-
ing the second best team in the
state and from the game they put
up last Sunday it is very evident
that they understand the ms and
outs of the sport. Their pitcher,
who has been signed by the Bos-
ton Americans for the coming sea-
son, has the habit of striking out
two out of the three batters that
face him but at that he has nothing
on Seitz.
The expense of bringing the team
from Las Vegas is no small one,
and when the boys are around with
tickets, don't fail to purchase sew
eral for this win be the last game
of the season and public support Ia
depended on. When the Tonopah
boys were at Las Vegas they were
shown a royal time and it will be
no more than right to extend a
hearty greeting to the invaders.

a wide field. He took the position that
the bill would not injure the tin plate

be a menace to the farmers. He dis
cussed the inheritance tax at great
length, and said it was preferable to

the government could not discuss the
resignation of an official except with
