McClaire was very wild, as several years of prospect ing for gold hasn't helped his con- trol. Still he has the same snappy curves when he can get them over, and the Cordova sluggers never could tell whether it was going to be ball or a. strike. They got five hits, which is some better than the Cordova team did at Seward four years ago, when McClaire pitched them a no-hit, no-run game.
 Honus Wagner Bishop umpired and escaped with very little "crabbing." His calls on balls and strikes were about the right thing. He had to make several close base running de cisions and some were protested. but all or them appeared to the grand stand to be right, although the spec tators would rather have. seen Cor dova get the best of every close play when they were behind Bishop miss ed two plays but they did not af- feet the result. Hill and Faubion each failed to touch first base in running on two-baggers and Perry protested but Bishop was looking the other way and failed to see the skips. Both runners would easily have made sec ond anyway and had no excuse for not touching the bag except that they probably feared it would slide as it was not fastened down. If they had been called out 1t would have merely shortened the Valdez score by two runs, as no others were made in eith- CT inning. The score:

took the leather from Stevenson. Then Faubion leaned hard against the ball and poled 1t into the grass at the fringe of the left garden. When he reached second two or three Cor 'dova fielders were looking for the ball with search warrant and Faubion kept moving. He reached home and had long rest on the bench before the ball was resurrected. The bleach CTS gave him home run, but he was only entitled to a double, and the ground rule heretofore prevailing on a lost ball would have stopped him at second. However, he would have come home on subsequent hits so the result was the same. This was the last run, as Cordova made nothing in the ninth and the game stopped there.

Washington, Oct. AFTER a two
hour discussion the caucus of senate

VILLAGE COUNCIL MEETING.
"Dads" Of the Town Transacted Con.
siderable Business.
From Wednesdays Daily.


At the regular monthly meeting
of the North Mankato village coun-
ell last evening, il was provided that
a special committee, consisting of
President W. II. Sharp and Trustee
j. b. Coy communicate with the city
of Mankato authorities and the Mic
ollet county board with reference to
the division of the expense of re-
pairing the Minnesota river bridge.
At present the city Is repairing the
sidewalk on the south side of the
bridge, leaving that of the north
side for the village to take care OF.
Both the sidewalks have been fenced
of and the people have been obliged
to walk over the driveway. The vii.
lage trustees have been talking this
matter over with members of the MIC
ollet county board and have been
given TO understand that the county
board Is willing to, stand half the
expense OF repairing the north side
walk. which the city of Mankato
left to the village to take care Of
The committee will appear before the
Nicollet county board at its next
meeting, which will take place dur
ing the latter part of the present
month.
The council looked over the speci-
fications for the shed that il was
proposed to erect as a shelter for
the road grader and the sprinkler
but II was found that the estimates
were too high, one being 1920 and
the other S455. II was decided that
the present state of finances of the
village would not permit of the ex.
penditure of so much money for the
shed, and therefore il will not be
built just yet. Arrangements will
have to be made to get shelter for
the machinery in some other way.
The street committee, consisting of
Trustees Coy and Larson, was en-
powered to repair the approach to
the bridge on the village side. This
is a wooden sidewalk, that has been
sinking.
A letter was read from the Min
nesota League of Municipalities, in
viting North Mankato to join the
league. The communication was
placed on file and no other action
was taken on the matter.
A request was received from the
Hook and Ladder company that the
council offer a reward of two dol
lars TO the first man to arrive at
the fire station. after a fire alarm
has been sounded, with a team to
haul the apparatus to the fire. This
was granted.
Trustee Coy reported that a cross
walk had been built across Walker
avenue at Nicollet avenue.
a motion was carried providing
that a crosswalk be built across Bel.
grade avenue at Lake street.
