Bluffs there will be some fancy base ball
this afternoon. The first quarrel will be
between a couple Of classy local teams
This game will commence at $50 p. m.
! Immediately after the first argument is
salted the IAN Stars of the Mink league
will clash with the champions Of Council
Bluffs viz the Merchants. and a tangle
worth going miles 10 see is anticipated
| Up to date this season the Merchants,
under the leadership of Marion Gibson,
have made an excellent record. Last Sun
day the Merchants dropped a hair-raising
battle of q to 0 score to the Hollys. Such
stars as Hirsch, Kranninger, Castle and
Dennison will parade with the Minkers.
Hirsch, the famed left-winger, with big
league aspiration, will probably taunt
them over for the boys from the small
league, and Homback, who also filings them
with his left feeder. will be on the hill for

Yesterday the Royal Achates grabbed

they decorated the bench and will probably
do likewise today.
Again the Townsends are gameless They
will probably barrel their suits for this

remnants of his gang together and filled

men for the purpose Of beating the Farrell
Syrups.
Grocery Clerks Recalled.
| The famous grocery. clerks, known as the
Advos, FUZZY intended to play their last
game in town last Sunday but their we'll
| planned arrangements fell by the wayside
at about twelve rings Sunday when the
limburger of the Victor herd called up
Sam Feltman, the cheese OF the feed
works, and informed him that the Victors
would like to do the mule stunt and back
out of their duel with the Advos. Sam
| did his best to bring the Victor main
spring to time, but his efforts proved flu
tile. Feltman offered TO cancel his other
plans and play the Victors today. This
they absolutely refused to do; in fact, they
wouldn't play the kdvos under any circum-
stances. These two teams grappled with
each other earlier in the season and the
VIctors waltzed off with the sweetmeats.
From present indications 1t seems as
though the Victors want TO leave we'll
enough alone 1t is a very poor business
for a team to schedule a fracas and then

bad all around. In the first place, the
papers misinform the public. Many Of the
players on the opposition can't be reached
by the talking machine and the parade out
to the park all for nothing A good many
| Of our populace wanted to witness this
| battle and they travelled all the way out
to Florence last Sunday, only to find the
| Cancelled sign staring them in the face.
| During last week the Advos tried hard to
secure an out-of-town game for today, but
! finding the propositions rather frosty, they
! decided to pull in the reins. They had a
| most prosperous season. both financially
and socially, so the boys were all willing
to drop the curtain Some time in the very
near future the boys will have a big feed,
at which officers for next season will be
elected The present officers performed
their duties in a very proficient manner
