Grinnell. July 22.-It was the Giants
and the Athletics that met on the dia-
| mond last evening and the game was a
very pretty one with two runs for each
side up to first half of the fifth when
the Athletics went up in the air and the
Giants got in seven runs The Athletics
| came back at them in the last half and
got three runs. leaving the game to the
Giants by a score of to 5. Spooner
and Carney were the bettery for the
Giants and Patton and Dawhins for the
Athletics. w. Jones umpire on balls,
Gee on bases.
Beginning with next Tuesday evening
the Twilight League games will be
played nightly with the exception OF
Saturdays until the schedule is COM
pleted on the 11th of August instead OF
the 25th as originally planned. The
executive committee has deemed it best
TO make this change because Of the
shortening of the evenings that some
times makes it Impossible to play out
five inning game.
The Grinnell chautauqua opened Its
first session yesterday afternoon be-
meath the spacious tent on South Broad
street, with an excellent musical pro-
gram by the Ricketts, orchestra and
chalk talk by Prof. G. E. Weaver. The
same talent made up the evening en-
tertainment and the good sized audi
ences went home we'll pleased With
their entertainn ent. These afternoon
and evening sessions will be continued
until Wednesday evening of next week
Today is woman's day. Rev. ]. H. Hec-
tor will lecture tomorrow, and Monday
is music day.
In the absence of the pastor. Rev
w. W. WOODBURY.. on his summer va
cation Elder T. B. Hughes. Of the Meth
odist church. will preach in the United
Presbyterin church tomorrow morning.
There is no change in the morning
services OF the other churches and the
regular union evening services will be
neld on the high school grounds.
In accordance with the enforced pol
icy of cutting down city expenses City
Engineer w. F. Boards valuable serv-
ices are TO be dispensed with. He has
been superintendent of the water works
and the sewers in addition to the engi-
neering work for the city and some
such work for private parties with the
proceeds turned into the city treasurer.
Street Commissioner John Lee has also
handed In his resignation, and one of
the night police may be excused from
further duty. The present seems.
however. to be bad time to lessen the
police force as there appears to be an
unusual influx OF tramps and their
numbers are likely to be increased as
the fall fairs open. 1t is thought thai
public spirited citizens or ccmbina-
ton OF such will make some arrange
ment to take care OF city warrants for
the immediate running expenses OF the
city and so the financial crisis will be
gradually eased off.
The presence and espassing Of an
extra number Of the genus hobo at the
| Grinnell fair grounds has become such
| q nuisance and menace TO property that
President Samuel Jacob and Secretary
| Charles BusweI have engaged night
watchmen to look after the property
and arrest trespassers. People living
| in that neighborhood complain OF the
| loss Of fowls and eggs and Of milk taken
| unlawfully from the cows. The con-
ditions became SO bad that the sheriff
| Of the county was appealed to but could
give no relief under the private prop
erty conditions and it seems to be up
to the fair association 10 protect their
| own property rights.
