SURFING AND SOPERTON
PLAY FAST GAME SUNDAY.
BY Defeating Surfing 81, Soperton Makes
a Record of Winning Ten out
of Eleven Games Played.

Well what do you think of the Bush
Leaguers now? Bully!! Surfing don't.
With reputation of putting it all over
the teams in their county, Surfing came
to Soperton Sunday prepared to annex
another scalp to the long bunch on their
belt, but instead left their own to dec
crate the totem pole of the Soperton
warriors.
The Surfing bunch are good, clean
fast bunch of ball players, but do not
show up in the same class as the Lea
guers from Soperton.
They made only one bid for the game
and that was in the 5th, when Huettl
missed perfect throw from Curtin al
lowing Somp to cross the home pan.
Outside of the 1st and 5th innings, Sop
erton played air-tight ball and had Sur
ing helpless.
On the other hand Soperton took to
Somp's curves like ducks to water and
pounded him to the tune of 5 hits.
Stewart was in great shape and had all
the Surfing batsmen at his mercy. He
gave 16 men the easy way to the bench
and allowed only 2 hits. The infield
was alright, Foote at 3rd taking 6
chances and Curtin, Quinlan and Hal
sted each gobbling up all that came
their way. Only two balls found their
way to the outfeld.
SEEN FROM HOME PLATE
The only accident of the game came
in the 5th, when catcher ,Gisch broke
the fore finger OH his throwing hand.
Catcher Huettl got some hard bumps
on his lunch grabbers, but was game
and played the whole nine innings.
Stewart got out of the way of fast
grounder in the 18th.
Foote'S throwing to 1st was big
| feature of the game.
Percentage is now 9O9.O9.
No game for the Oath. Lena will
play here the 31st. They come with
the reputation of having beaten every
team in Oconto County which they
have played against this year.
McGraw's hitting was something
fierce; 8 hits out of A times up. That's
going some.
Somp pulled out of tight hole in the
7th when the bases were full and none

The explosion was the worst mill
accident in Canton's history. The blast
was heard plainly ten miles.
The body Of Romano Boyer, Rou-

through the front of a residence, tear

the fence of an adjacent yard and into
the ground in a furrow. 1t left a trail

The larger part of one of the boil

A twisted steel bar dropped like a

advent Of higher temperatures a great
decrease will be noted. The entire
meat trade Is on a fresh meat basis

the signal for a cut in prices all along
the line.
The sheep and lamb trade seems to
be working along on an even keel,

do not prove a scarcity but rather that

DESCRIBE WORK

Englishmen Interested in Gen. Baden
Powell's Movement in Britain Are
Visitors To Local Y. M. @. A.

1t was a keen disappointment to
the workers In the boys department
OF the Y. NJ. G. A.. that two young
Englishmen, quite noted in their espe-
cial field OF work in the British Isles,
w. b. Wakefield and Charles Head,
OF London. missed train connections

Of being the guests of the local as

Mr.. Wakefield Is honorable secretary

English organization has found its

though Gen. Baden-Powell originated
