PRETZELs BUNCH HITS.
Up until the sixth inning. the Pref
zels looked like badly beaten bunch
but in that round q little loose WORK
coupled with a pair Of hits netted az
many runs and tied the game Two
had been earned in the fourth when
Whiteside passed two and allowed two
scratch hits In the sixth, Ohland
famed but Bromwich made a hit and
stole second. Crangle hunted to
Whiteside and the latter broke into
the bone column" by throwing &c
third without a chance of catching the
runner. who had too long q start Gran
gle could easily have been retired al
first and Kelly's out a minute later
would have ended the inning. AS il
was both base runners scored when
Chapman hit TO center field. Lakaff
went into the breach for Rock Island
in the seventh but at that stage the
game became a joke. Nelson who had
just taken Dicks place in the box for
Davenport, lived when Custer muffed
high one in front of the
plate. Finney sacrificed and Keeping
scratched q hit through Kelly who
nevertheless held Nelson on second.
Ohland hit to left and filed the bases
and two men scored on Bromwich' s
hit to center. Crangle hit TO Lakaff
and Frank threw low to the plate and
Ohland scored. Davenport's Kelly
grounded to Harry HeIly and Brom-
wich was nipped at the plate. Chap
man rolled a slow one to Vogel and
Otto juggled 1t long enough to let the
runner reach first safely. Lakaff put
an end to the inning by striking out
Coleman, the ninth man who faced
him.
TWO MORE IN EIGHTH.
In the eighth, everybody went wild.
Hofer walked Nelson. F1nney scratch
ed hit, Ohland hit to Hofer and the
nipped Nelson at third. He
then made a balk, however, and
the other two runners to third
and second respectively. Ohland
grounded to the fnf1eld and FInney
scored despite an attempt to get him.
Ohland and Koepping made a double
steal while Hofer appeared to be be-
wildered. Bromwich skied TO Kelly
and Harry dropped the ball Ohland
was nipped a minute later al third and
then Stevens dropped Crangle's fly to
center. On an attempted double steal,
Bromwich was caught at the plate and
the inning was over at last. The
score:

ARE CUT LOOSE

Unconditional ReIeases-Ochs

Manager Bill Carney cut four men
off his squad Saturday afternoon,
their releases being unconditional.
They were Fred Ochs, outfielder,
Ralph Jordon and Charles Smith,
catchers and Ernest Woods, in
fielder. The Islander boss had been
trying for a week TO farm them out
or find places for them, but no one
seemed disposed to want them. All
except Smith had been with the team
since the first week of practice.
Smith came about two weeks ago but
never got a chance, as Custer was
going too well. 1t is expected that
Ochs will sign UP with Tom Starks

Baseball Boiled Down

At meeting Saturday night the di-
rectors OF the Bloomington club voted
to sell their franchise and team, to
2, fixing the price at $4,000. 1t was
declared that the city can get along
without baseball this year aud that
next year there Is reason to hope a
place can be found in a new league.
Pitcher Clarke, last year with Wat
erloo, and Pitcher Cook, last year with
Peoria, have been sold by St Paul to
Topeka in the Western league. Thus
have the mighty tumbled. These two
beavers were cracks In this circuit
last year and went to the Chicago
Cubs, by which they were turned over
to st. Paul
Down at DanviIle the newspapers
are saying about as mean things
about Dick Kinsella as they are
about NJ. H. Sexton which is a hope
full sign. Eventually they may see

NOTES OF THE GAME

Three out Of four is not 30 bad for
Bill Carney.
SIattery was robbed Of two sateties
yesterday by Ohland. The first one
might have been q homer as It was q
line drive to left center which had 1t
got past pOhland, would have gone to
the fence.
Hunter scored In the fifth inning
yesterday, but In sliding he failed TO
touch the plate in the opinion OF the
umpire and when Coleman, coached
by the Davenporters on the bench,
touched Willie, he was called out.
The hitting OF Clynes during the ser
les was the real feature. He made
nine bingles, one OF them for two
sacks and he drove in six runs Yes
terday he made four safties and every
one was line drive over the inflelder's
heads.

Afterward.

Augustana was forced to bite the
dust in a hard luck contest with the
fast Monmouth college nine at the
Maple city Saturday afternoon, to
70. Up to the sixth inning it was a
pitchers battle between Bengtson, the
crack Lutheran twirler, and Schrenk,
Monmouth's lanky slant shooter, the
former not allowing a hit up to that
inning. As a starter In that fatal
round Bengtson walked two men. The
next man up hunted towards first The
Augustana pitcher attempted to field
the ball, but in so doing collided with
the Monmouth base runner and was
nearly knocked unconscious in the mix
up. Half stunned he finished the inn
ing, the Maple city lads making then
their three hits, which, together with
three errors by the local nine, netted
them six runs. Bengtson allowed no
more hits the remainder Of the game.

this time on the question of
bonds" or no bonds" we believe
a large majority Of those present
would have favored a bond issue
large enough to build good roads
all over Washington county.
When Mr.. Drummond had fin
ished reading the resolution by
fhe people Of the Bay country at
1870, o'clock, dinner was announ-
ced ready and the multitude
proceeded to gather about the
long table where a bounteous
feast of barbecued meat, bread
and loads of other good things
awaited them. And If any one
went away hungry it was their
|owu fault for there was plenty to
satisfy the appetite OF all present
and yet some to spare.
In the afternoon the promgram
Of sports was carried out, and,
every one went home feeling it
was a magnificent day and that it
was well they had been at Vern-
on on the day of the good roads

In New York for II and 10 cents

having effect on prices, but no

occur, as the world will need all
the cotton produced, and if the

Washington COUNTY, at'ths
County Site Monday.

Monday, August 1tn, mas come
and gone, and the largest crowd
ever asse mbled on any occasion
at any place in Washington coun-
ty was at Vernon on that date.
The crowd was estimated at
anywhere from tnirty-fve hum
dred to five thousand people, and
we believe a conservative esti-l
mate would place the number
present at $500. And it was the
most orderly and best behaved
crowd of that size we ever saw;
not an incident occurred to mar
the pleasantness of the day.
The good people of the town of
Vernon and vicinity did them.
selves honor in the entertainment
and care of the large crowd.
The exercises of the day, which
was held in the oak grove next
public school, where seats and .
speakers stand had been preparr
for the occasion, was a little late
in beginning. being about 1890
when ]. t. Hightower, Chairman,

meeting.
Clerk of the court, w. c. Lock
ey, was introduced, who tender
ed a most cordial welcome to
those present; and Hon. A. D,
Carmichael responded in a happy
little speech in response to the
welcome extended.
Judge l. 4. Hutchinson was
then introduced, and IN a short
speech he gave a history Of pub
lie road building in Florida.
Mr.. Hutchinson was followed by

Hon. A. w. Weeks was the

displayed the fact that he had not
lost any of his oritorical powers,
still, instead of using that power
in behalf of good roads and en-
dorsing the only practical and
feasible plan to secure them,-
the issuance of bonds. The OPP

BLOCK WHITE WAY
Petitions Defective Except in
One Block.
Commissioner Tandy Gives Re-
suit of Investigation.

The topeka white way" proposition
looks bad. 1t has been discovered by
Commissioner Tandy at the city hall
that only one block of signatures be-
tween First and Tenth avenues on
Kansas avenue are legal. The law re-
ouires half of the resident property
owners signatures.
Here are the facts found by Com
missioner Tandy.
Between First and Second streets.
twelve property owners signed the Pc
titions and only ten were legal.
Between Second and Third streets,
seventeen signed and only eleven were
legal.
Between Third and Fourth streets.
eighteen signed and only twelve were
legal.
Between Fourth and Fifth streets,
sixteen signed and only twelve were
legal.
three signed and only twenty-nine
were legal.
Between Sixth and Seventh, twenty
signed and only fifteen were legal.
Between Seventh and Eighth, TWEEN
tv signed and only fifteen were legal.
Between Eighth and Ninth. twenty
signed and eighteen were legal.
Between Ninth and Tenth, twenty
six signed and only sixteen were legal.
The reason SO many names were IL
legal was because people signed who
did not own the property. In each
block there are thirty-six lots.

WILL BE FOUR STORIES.
Work Actually Begun on the New Cor
don Building.

Work was begun on the J. c. Gordon
four-story business building at the old
Copeland hotel site, corner of Kansas
avenue and Ninth street. Bennett q Allen
have been assigned the job.
The plans for the building have been
changed number of times but 1t now
seems a certainty that the building viii
be a four story brick and reinforced
structure 175x50 feet. AS the front of the
old building Immediately south of the site
of the old Copeland hotel will be torn
down and rebuilt in harmony with the
new and modern building there will be
a handsome IS foot frontage.
struction will be spotted brick with stone
trimmings and terracotta corners Large
plate glass windows will be provided for
the first floor which will consist or one
large room All floors will be OF concrete
and the building will be as near fire proof
as possible 1t is estimated that the cost
of the structure will be between $6O-0O0
and $4,000.
For the present no elevators VIII De IN
stalled. but spaces will be left so that
these conveniences can be added at a
later date if it seems wise. The plans
show no partitions the second. th1rd
and fourth floors but they are not COM
plete in every detail.
Today a force of workmen are buslly
engaged cleaning off the rust from the re-
enforcement rods which will be used IN
the construction of the floors. The fact
that these rods have been exposed to the
elements for several months has not I'M
nroved their condition.
