The following is told of federal
official, formerly a senator of the
United States from Kentucky.
In the days of his youth the Ken
tuckian was asked by friend to sec

at sunrise the parties met at the ap-

Now it was this Kentuckian's duty
to say the last words touching the
terms of the duel But, although he
faithfully performed this duty, the
duel never took place.

LEAD THE PROCESSION
First Games of City League Series
Played at Amusement Park
Yesterday.

More than 1900 people saw the
Puritans and the Saints draw the
lucky numbers yesterday afternoon
at Amusement Park in the opening
games of the City League. Scores 8
to 2 and 10 to 4. Throughout the
first game there was the continual
lack of the necessary ball and the
game was delayed unnecessarily
many times. The start of the game
was delayed to allow one of the play
ers to don his suit AMI after all the
wait he was unable to get into the
garb provided for him.
Despite the fact that the first zane
was slow it was the best from a base
pail standpoint. In the first two in
nings seven men on each side faced
the opposing twirler and none came
anywhere ear crossing the platter.
In the third the Danes drew the
count, which was enough for them.
With one man out Atkinson connect
ed with a pretty me and got his base.
Peterson was out on a grounder to
second base but Atkinson moved over
to third and waited for a chance.
Rodda was transported by the efforts
of Mulvaney to first and L. Peterson
slashed out a two-bagger to center,
bringing the two men on the bases
over the home course. Right then
and there the chances of the Danes
ceased to be a factor in the game
and they bided their time trying to
keep the Puritans from doing things.

him In time to throw him off the
pit. On Dixon's hit he kited home.
Dixon was caught trying to get to
second.
The game was grabbed in the sixth
by two more runs. Damitz walked.
Egan was good for two bases. Be-
tween throws second and third bases
were filled and It was up to Skim
mons to do the stick work. He sent
a nice one through the alfalfa and
the men on the bags scooted home,
the last narrowly missing porno
caught. That was all there was to
the game, no more runs being made
on either side.
After five or six balls had been
lost only one was at the disposal of
the players and whenever it went
over the fence the game had to be
delayed until they caught the kid

contest and the fate of the local
