BASE BALL AT HURLEY
Yankton-Hurley

Last Saturday the semi-pro ball
team from Yankton made brief,
fruitless stop in Hurley.
This team is one of the fastest In
the state, and thought they would
have little trouble in disposing of
our boys, but there's many a slip
twixt the cup and the lip, " and after
nine innings of the fastest ball play
ing ever seen in this part of the
state twas discovered that Hurley
had annexed two scores, while the
boys from the shade of the State
Asylum had been able to put but one
man across the plate. No special
mention can be made of Hurley
players. They all played ball all the
time.
NOTES ON THE CANE
While Jimmy" Rundell shows
more strength than speed in his base
running, he hit one 50 far that he
made the entire circuit before the
ball was returned.
Miller allowed the hard hitting
Yankton bunch but seven hits-aad
they were well scattered.
K. C. Red. nee Masterson, ably
assisted our BOYS by his vociferous
roofing. His take-offs on the Yank'
ton players were very much to the
point.
j. w. Parsons umpired the game
His decisions were fair and impair
tial.
The attendance was good, ane
everyone present went home happy
except the Yankton aggregation.

Loos and Prof. H. l.. Dodge Of Iowa

fences in the Iowa river during the past
week. Prof Loos, venerable educa-

the shore, through the extraordinarily
high water and labyrinth of ice foes.

and shock, but is improving today.
Prof Dodge invited his adventure. He
plunged over the university dam in a
canoe, and repeated the feat. The
water is almost record breaking in

FIT. Madison, Feb. 24.-There are
auto owners in Fort Madison who are
not displaying the yellow state license
tags for the year 1915. They declare,
however, that is not their fault and
that the absence Of the tags Is due to
the failure of the state department to
supply them with the license plates.
Some Of them declare that they have
made application for the tags as early
as six weeks ago. They are also OF
the belief that they cannot be prose
cuted for not displaying the tags as
the state offic ials themselves and not
the machine, are to blame.
