NOW HAVE OVER ONE
HUNDRED MEMBERS
Completion Of New House for Out
ing Club has Stimulated
Membership.

Since the completion of the club
house of the Webster City Outing
Club, membership campaign has
been carried on which has swelled
the membership of the club to above
the one hundred mark. The interest
in golfing Is on the increase and the
links are occupied almost every at
ternoon by an increasing bunch o.
beginners and experienced players.
The game is said to have a fascina-
ton for the staid business man that
no other game possesses and once he
gets taste, he is doomed to become
a fiend. Judging from present indi-
cations Webster City will turn out
some golf champions by next year.
The date for the dedication of the
new club house-neXt Friday after
noon and night-will see the entire
membership in attendance The wir-
ing of the building is now almost
completed and the service wires to
carry the electrical current over to
the grounds will be installed the
first Of next week.
The Outing Club grounds promise
to become one OF the show places of
the city and the organization will
reflect considerable credit upon the
city as progressive town.

A Problem.

Howard Ram: Scientists and
psychologists have long been baffled
as to the reason why a hen always
insists upon crossing the road when
about to be run down by an under
slung automobile or maroon road
wagon. Some hens will stand on
one foot in the face OF a touring
car and turn piroutte that would
make ballet dancer look about as
speedy as a round house turntable,
then trip across the road with the
grace Of rheumatic heifer. Why
this is so is greater mystery than
the cause of Jobs boils. 1t is en-
tirely different with the rooster.
You never saw that masterful bird
break into lope in your life unless
he had inhaled nervous hornet
while lost In thought. 1t may be all
rit'ht for the poet to sing about the

Big Battle Between Lehigh and
Webster City Baseball Clubs
Results in Victory for
Locals.
THE SCORE STOOD 8 TO l.,
Was Most Interesting Pitchers Bat
tle-Corbin's Home Run
Prominent Feature.

The big battle between the Lehigh
and Webster City baseball clubs
was fought to finish at the west
side ball park Friday afternoon
and the mighty, hard hitting bunch
from the mining town went down to
defeat, the score being three to one.
1t was pitchers battle, but three
hits being made on either side. How
ever, every hit made by Webster
City counted, while the visitors hits
were not together.
The Lehigh bunch took decided
crimp when Corbin slammed out "a
home run in the second inning and
brought the fans to their feet cheer
ing. However. they didn't lose
heart over little thing like that,
but kept playing to win. In the first
Of the fifth, H. Timmons was given
free transportation to first, stole sec
ond and third and scored on Ceper-
ley's single to center. In the second
half of the same inning. Beisser
reached first when the visitors sec
ond baseman booted grounder, and
scored from the initial sack on a
long drive to center by Rossiter, the
latter taking third on the throw N.
Stuart followed Rossiter with hot
one to the shortstop which bowled
him over and allowed Rossiter to
score. The short stop recovered the
ball in time, however, to field Stuart
out at first. After this inning 1t was
goose eggs for each side till the end
of the contest.
Two Of the best pitchers in this
section were pitted against each oih-
err in Fridays battle, Beisser for
the locals. and Fisher for the visi-
tors. Beisser had considerable the
best Of the argument, though the
number of hits OF each twirler were
the same. Beisser caused twenty OF

However, they were beateh fairly

AN ILLUSTRATED
LECTURE ON JAPAN
Entertainment at Congregational
Church Under Auspices Of
Ladies Society.

The illustrated lecture on Japan
at the Congregational church Friday
evening by Rev. Arthur Metcalf was
a very interesting one. The enter
tainment was given under the aus
pieces OF the Woman's Missionary So
ciety of the church, 1t being their
annual thankoffering meeting. A
good sized audience was in attend
ance and all were highly pleased
with the address and the views
thrown upon the screen. The color
ed transparencies, illustrating life
In Japan and detailing the work o.
Congregational missions in the land
OF the little brown man, were unique
and beautiful, and Mr.. Metcalf's de-
scription Of the different views was
most excellent, the whole making a
decidedly interesting evenings en-
tertainment.
At the close OF the address, a
thankoffering was taken UP which
amounted to over fifty dollars, and
this will be materially added to be-
fore the sum is turned over to the
work for which It is intended.

the physicians of the city to decide.
However, 1t would seem to the lay
man that such plan would be
worth the effort and expense that it
would require to carry it out.

Won at Clarion.

Deacon, the race horse owned by
Geo. LeValley Of this city, won his
first race this season at the Wright
county fair in Clarion Friday af-
ternoon. He took first in the 1920
trot, the time being 2:24. The slow
time was due largely to heavy
track and is not fair indication Of
the speed of the horse.
