 vey of the local association, who has been in Chicago for some time, returned home yesterday and witnessed the Gull victory. President Hervey was called into action in Chicago, and it was he who closed the deal for Outfielder Mayes. President Hervey is back on the job, and will aid the other officials in getting the Gulls up in select company, if getting new men can put them there. MT. Hervey states that he just missed former Manager Holmes in Chicago, Holmes having just missed Charlie Murphy's Cub magnate) office a few minutes before he arrived. ''Ducky' is en route to his home in Sioux City.
 Atlanta Journal: Since the Atlanta club entered the market for couple of good hurlers two or three men have been off, fered them ands one or maybe two will be bought within a day or so. Manager Jordan now has the matter under con- sderation and just as soon as he can de- eide whether they are good enough to bolster the Cracker staff the trade will be closed.
 Two pitchers have been offered to the Atlanta club for a big cash sum while one other club has a pitcher they will trade. All three look fairly good and all that is now needed to pull off the deal
  dan.
 The Griffin deal is still hanging fire. Atlanta will get the big Texan in case he Is sent back to any minor league club but Fred Penney of the Boston Nationals has not yet decided just whether they will keep or, trade him. If he is to be disposed of the change will likely occur within the next week or so.
 Nashville Banner: Umpire Fitzsimmons may have his faults, but it's an even bet that there isn't a player in the league who cares to punch him in the nose. Fitz lives up to his name and is a scrapper. On one occasion Billy Smith got fresh with him in the Dell, and besides a s45 fine, nearly got his face staved in with Fitz' mask But for Smiths departure it is probable the umpire would have landed on him.
 Montgomery Journal: Luck played an important part in the game between the Crackers and Billkens Tuesday. In the first session fortune smiled on the Atlantn crew and as a result three runs, the only ones marked up in the game, were made by the visitors.
 Had Derrill Pratt not slipped when he was attempting to field Watson's ground ball which went near second bag, the Crackers would have been retired and inc three runs never made It was that slip that gave the game 10 the visitors. but such things occur many times during a season of baseball and Pratt was not to blame in the slightest for the mis- play.
 Another piece of good fortune which enabled the Crackers to score three times

Saturday evening one OF the live
liest and most interesting basket ball
games of the season took place at
the Opera House between the Sopho-

the High School Team of this city.
The game resulted i'll a victory Tor
the Carson boys with a score OF q

From the start it was close game.
The visitors woald hold the score
down and then it was up to the home
boys to forge ahead. The game was
almost anyone's until the very last
when the home team put the winning
number up. Considering the fact that
the home team was playing several
new members they put up mighty
clever game.

The train carrying Captain Don

horses and by this time are at the

Heavy rewards are already being
offered for the capture OF the mur-

pany has offered reward OF one
thousand dollars, while the county

Now that Assemlyman Meder's bill
to slice a portion from Lyon County
has been introduced the people of
this section are naturally looking the
matter up. The fact that the major
ity of the taxpayers in the north end
OF Lyon County have petitioned to
come into 0rmsby County will .ol
itself have weight with the members
OF the legislature. Storey rounty
has also been petitioned TO take care
OF a portion OF Lyon County, while
small neck OF land adjacent to
Churchill. and which. by right oil
geography belongs to that section
will probably be annexed to Churchill
The move is not absolutely new.
Douglas and Lyon County have
fought out several battles over
county boundaries. Several surveys
have been made, as Douglass feels
that she has lost territory that by
common sense belongs TO her. Ii Is
possible that this matter can be
Strengthened out before the present
legislature is over
Churchill and Lyon Counties have
also fought their legal and Legislative
battles over the strip OF land ad-
joining Churchill. By making the
proposed division this will settle Tor
all time further expensive legal
troubles.
The portion OF Lyon County that
would be annexed to Ormsby would
make one of the finest counties in

r As eNefyonss kllgws, the women OF
the Carson Smart Set dearly love a
genuine frolic and will have it when
ever they get a good leader to set the
pace.
| On Saturday last they had their
fling in good shape when they accept
led an invitation from Mrs. Newton
Rountree to attend a Cafeteria at the
nome OF Mrs. Robert NJ. Clarke, her
mother.
| There is quite difference between
a Cafeteria and a pink tea. The pink
tea is where the women accept and
retaliate invitations and it is highly
decorous and sometimes quite unin-
teresting, and Cafeteria is sort Of
pink tea with the pink rubbed off and
beer substituted.
Mrs. Rountrec made Dutch lunch
and theater party out OF it and her
method OF dispensing hospitality
reeked with Tutonic grub, good
things with the foam on top and
names OF German brews that ran
clear around the bottle.
Her function was bound to be
something original, for the Clarke
family can't do anything in an old rut,
and it brought to mind memories Of
the old days when Mrs. Robert
Clarke kept things humming in the
big house on the hill, with a lavish
hospitality that never wiltcd ani
made the place the center OF the good
times OF the long ago.
The guests on arriving found a big
sign hung over the entrance with the
word Cafeteria painted on it and
passers by all day wondered whether
Mrs. kountrce had started some new
kind OF beauty parlor or miliner's S
establishment.
The house was lavishly decorated
With pretzels hung from the chande-
liers and weineworst and bologna
sausages were used to decorate the
corners OF the room, mingled artis
tically with tankards and stems ar
ranged with the rarcst good taste
and view to harmonic equilibrium
The color scheme was a light am

CARSON LADIES HAVE
AFTERNOON OF FROLIC

i duck dance, with feather duster ac-

Flash light pictures of these two
| dances were secured and one can be
seen at the residence of the hostess.

and dlsorderathe company repaired
to the Grand Theater where seats hod
been engaged.
The gang OF Chinese and Piutes
who always take III the moving pic
lures on Saturday afternoon, were
considerably perturbed when the gay
theater party arrived. They came in
with such strenuosity that the audi
ence at first supposed that it was a
police raid on the show and were
preparing to hunt the rear exit, when
order was restored and Mrs. Roun-
tree and Mrs. Frank Wildes advanc-
ing up the aisle took a hand in assist
ing the ochestra. Mrs. Rountree
grabbed the bass drum and Mrs.
Wildcs annexed the bass fiddle and
for awhile the place was in an up
roar. Some OF the party finally sug-
gested that they change instruments.
which they did and the effect was
even more pronounced.
After order was restored and the
moving pictures got under way each
scene was greeted with running COM
ments and between the acts Mrs.
Rountree started an artistic skirt
dance i'll the middle aisle and as she
iloated up and down full of the real
poetry OF motion she was most We
ciferously applauded. She gave the
Oriental, Occidental and accidental
effects with rare skill and no dancer
i'll the crowd made any attempt to
emulate her -as she IS in a class by
herself and the only one in the class.
Whenever someone of the party's
acquaintences showed up the audi
ence arose and gave the new conner
three vocieferous cheers.
: 1t was like a lot of young college
students out on a theater lark just at
ter victorious foot ball match.
The Cinnamon and Piutes who
were in the audience witnessed the
frolic with open mouths and quisi
cal countenance and have been un-
able to figure out what it all meant.
The matrons who composed this
giddy party were as follows:
