"Wind-up" Jackson, Scribner's only
paid baseball player, showed his abil-
ity in Norfolk Wednesday afternoon
when, assisted by Butler of Dodge,
and the Elgin team, he played a fea-
ture part in defeating Norfolk by a
score Of 6 to 2. This was Norfolk S
fourth game this season, and it was
their only defeat They took it good
naturedly however, and the small at
tendance of fans were willing that the
game should 90 that way inasmuch as
the game was strictly first class base.
ball from start to finish.
Elgin made their big scores in the
second and fifth innings on errors by
Norfolk's intield. From the fifth to
the last inning there were chances of
Norfolk being shut out. 1t lasted I'M
til the eighth, when Hoffman, who
had an off day. started the ball rolling,
Jackson giving him base on balls
Krahn, who found the ball almost
every time up, connected hard with a
three-bagger and brought Hoffman
nome. South hunted to Jackson and
was put out on first, and Glissman's
sacrifice, with Buffers error, brought
krahn home. The crowd went wild
but that was the last of the scoring
for Norfolk. Glissman was out or
first and Dudgeon's grounder to Bolte
beat him to the first plate.
Keleher pitched fine game, but fol-

DAMAGED WHEAT.
Wires Full of Complaints - Corn Is
Hurt, Too.

Fremont, Neb., June 10. - Wheat,
oats and corn felt the effects of the
intense heat in Kansas and Nebraska
and the small grains suffered consid-
cradle damage if the complaints that
poured in over the wires at local grain
offices this morning were well founded.
Reports indicate that corn in the
southwest part of the state and wheat
and oats in the west and southwest
were damaged by firing" said a local
grain man today. "There is also
much complaint at the wheat heads
being in the condition known as milk
and dough and shriveling up in parts
of Kansas and Nebraska. While this
hot weather would be good growing
weather for corn later in the season
when the stalks are high enough to
shade the ground, farmers are gener-
ally agreed that it is likely to injure
the corn while it is too small to pro-
tect the roots. Reports from southern
Nebraska estimate that the wheat crop
was damaged so percent by yester-
days heat"
