No excitement worthy Of notice
has been created in Richmond re
garding the decision of the United
States supreme court in the American
Tobacco Company case. Following
closely as ii does the decision III the
Standard OF Company case. which
was practically the same thing, the
cases being analogous is possibly due
the fact that the result was received
Ia a quiet. matter of fact manner.
While the decision was expected
Monday, high officials in tobacco cir
cles apparently felt no unessiness and
Tuesday being legal holiday, many
of the best informed tobacco men
were not even in the city to express
all opinion.
Holiday Conditions Exist.
Around the tobacco exchange and
warehouses the holiday conditions
We're clearly in evidence. a few
dealers in leaf tobacco were present
and while the celebrated decision was
of course discussed every one was
reIieent when asked TO express an
opinion. Some Of the dealers thought
that the price of leaf tobacco would
take tumble as q result. while others
were equally satisfied that the market
would go up
Among the dealers in leaf it is per-
| fectly apparent that their sympa
| thies are with the giant trust. They
! claim that since the advent Of the
American Tobacco Company that the
planters were getting more for their
| product than ever before and that
| the consumer OF the weed was paying
! no more, In some cases getting his
| tobacco cheaper than formerly.
! Local Agents Are Silent.
| Local representative of the Amert-
can Tobacco Company who could be
seen declined 10 discuss the matter.

The Columbus journal. (Columbus, Neb.) 1874-1911, 1911-05-24

Kissell holds to one hit. That was
the way the headlines read this morn
ing in describing the game between
Columbus and Superior at Superior
yesterday. The score board showed
that Columbus had taken three runs
and left but a little single for Supe-
rior. And the other part of the story
is that it took ten innings to win the
game, which shows that it was not a
walking match by any means. COlum,
bus started the scoring in the fourth
by running in one and Superior fol.
lowed the trick in the seventh with
one. Then it was tie, and remained
80 during the next inning and also the
ninth. Then our DISCOVERIES came
to themselves again and borught two
men home, which was too much fol-
the Superiors to overcome. During
the game five hits were made by OuI
men, Meixell, Couple. the two Browns
and Kissel each getting the location
for one. Mcdowell. the big second
base-man for Superior was the only
one to untangle Paul's style, which

were out in the wet.
In the Columbus Superior game it
took ten innings for Superior to win
on their own grounds. Spade was in
the box for the greater part of the
game and along toward the last he was
relieved by Kissel. The DISCOVERIES
played an errOrlesS game, but two
mistakes were chalked up against the
enemy. Superior gathered six hits off
our pitchers. and their pitcher, Glib
son, saved our lads from taking more
than five.
Over at Hastings. the Grand Island
boys didn't get n loOkin: oh. yes they
did too. but that was all; they just
peeped over the transOm and got one
man home. i'm the ninth inning, while
the Third City bunch took things
away five times.

erers were entertained at York, and

addition to all this. NAHUM. both
Browns and Couple took two stations
on big hits during the game.
Grand Island must have a mighty

they are getting into the habit OF

indeed they are to some extent. That
