Ia VALE:

A large crowd attended the base
ball game which was played on the
home grounds between Reedsburg and
La Vale. The game resulting in
victory for the home boys. The score
was 10 to 4. 1t was a beautiful day
and ideal baseball weather prevailed
which gave the boys chance to play
their best as the error column will
show there were only two for LaValle.
The hero of the contest was "Duffyn
HysIop who played brilliant game
at second and also was chief factor in
running and his hitting was fea-
ture. SJohnson, another young fellow,
also displayed some great hitting abiI-
ity but had no chance to show what
he could do in the field as none came
his way. Both of these boys have the
making of two great ball players and
in the future La Vale will look
forward to these boys to be the chief
links in winning ball games. We
must not forget to mention our pitcher
who is none other than the "Iron
Man Jack Coombs." His right name
being Yonkey. Besides his master
full pitching he got the longest hit of
the game. He is an artist on the
slab and La Vale can feel proud to
have % an of his ability in the box
when the umpire cries "rlay ball".
All the other play ers played beauti-
fully and criticism does not belong to
any of them. We will anxiously await
the coming Of another Sunday, when
another ball game will be played and
the boys will have an opportunity to
again uphold the laurels of the village
of LaValle on the diamond.

NO INTEREST HERE IN
GUBERNATOR|AL RACE
COUNTY WILL LIKELY GO FOR
JACK sLAToN BY A LARGE
MAJORITY.

Even the entrance into the guber-
Material race of Hooper Alexander
has not aroused the voters of Glynn
ooul4ts, aid, Lor the first time i'm
many years, the people of this county
are manifesting but little interest in
the three-cornered race now in prog
ress for governor.
1t is generally conceded on all
sides that Jack Slaton will get a
large majority of the votes in this
county. OF course it is expected that
the straight prohibition vote of the
county will go to Alexander. while
J oc Hill Hall, the third candidate, al
SO has friends here who will vote for
him, but Slaton will, in all probabil-
ity, have large plurality over both
his opponents.
While there are large number of
other contests to be decided at the
Urinary on August 81, the voters of
the county are displaying no interest
in any of them. Two or three of the
members of the railroad commission
are opposed, there are number of
candidates for justices of the court
OF appeals; two candidates are out
fo' attorney general, commissioner of
agriculture and other state house or
fices, but it is doubtful if there are
half dozen voters in Glynn county
wfc are sufficiently posted on the
situation to even name all of the
candidates.
The only contests to be decided at
the primary which is interesting the
local voters is that for congress and
solicitor of the Brunswick circuit.
