WEBSTER CITY TEAM
AGAIN VICTORIOUS
Win Second Game From AUSTRIAN
Eleven Inning Contest
Score 8 to 4.

The Webster City-Austin bal
game Friday afternoon was
very interesting and exciting exhi
bition of the great national pas
time. At the end of the ninth in
ming the count stood a tie and i
took eleven innings to decide tn
game, the result being to in ia
vor of Webster City.
The home team did remarkably
we'll considering that it has lost foul
of it's old players, and had the crow6
not been apprised of the loss, no one
would have known it. The pitchers
not in the box played in the field
and Sucher, former Webster City
ball boy who played for the first
time with this team, put up as good
game in left field as any man here
this year with the home or any 9TH
er team. And in this connection the
FreemanTribune wants to commend
the action of the management in
letting Cummins out and it hope
the same proceeding will be followed
If the occasion arises in the future.
AS long as Holm is manager the as
ISOLATION must stand back of him.
The Nationals made their first
score in the fourth inning. Parks
led off with clean single and
Wheeler walked. Holm sacrificed,
advancing the base runners and Nc
Donald's sacrifice fly scored Parks.
In the fifth the visitors took two.
Scullion, Dunfee and LaSalle sim
gled, the former scoring and sacri-
flee fly by Beal counted Dunfee. In
the latter half of this inning the
Nationals took two more when He'll
rich walked and Hill brought him
in with three ply blow. Parks
counted Hill with a single.
The seventh evened things up.
Dunfee led off with a safety, and a
sacrifice by Lasalle and a single by
Collins, counted the visiting pitcher.
In the eleventh, Wheeler and
Holm brought the game to close.
After Parks had famed, Wheeler
hit for one base and pilfered the Sec
ond sack. Holm then scored the
base runner with clean single ov-
er second base.

5S8 AUTOMOBILES
OWNED IN COMMUNITY
That Number of People With Web,
ster City Postofice Address
Had Cars July l.

Two years ago the Freeman-Trib-
une published a list of automobile
owners residing in this town and at
that time the number was little
less than 200. By the list publish
ed today it will be seen that
there are now 5SS automobiles own
ed by people whose postoffice address
is Webster City. If these cars are
of an average cost of 1000, which
may be little high, they represent
an expenditure of $5SS,OOO. And
that was the number of cars owned
on the first Of July last. There has
been quite number bought since
then, which list will be published

but ran into the ditch at the side of
the road and came to a sudden halt
which threw five Of the occupants of
the car, all except Flynn, into a wire

GUGGS WANT
 UTAH COPPER

Late newspapers to arrive in Ju- neau indicate that the rumor that was in circulation in Seattle that che Gug- rnnheims and Col. D. c. Jaekling were | about to consolidate their copper inc terests was the result of an announce ! ment that the Guggenhelms had pro posed to turn over the Utah Copper ! la Jackilng companyl stock that is held by the Guggonheim Exploration company. amounting to over 100000 shares, to the Kennecott company The Guggenheims have decided to dissolve the Guggenheim Exploration company, and distribute its assets among tho shareholders, large part of the Guggenheim owned interests to go to the Kennecott company It was deemed inadyisable to distribute the biz Utah Copper holdings. with out the consent of tho shareholders, SO lt was proposed that the Guggen- helm Exploration shareholders can have the option of taking S75 a share for their share of the Utah Copper stock or to take Kennecott stock for 1t.
 The proposal of the Guggenheims Is to make the IIennecott their hold ing company instead of the Guggen- helm Exploration company and, In addition to turning over to the Kenne- colt company the Guggenheim Explor- atlon company Utah Copper holdings, 1t is proposed also to turn over Co 1t their stock in the Alaska Steamship Company and the Copper River &l Northwestern railway. The remain der of the holdings of the exploration company is to be distributed to indi- vidual shareholders.
 The Seattle Times tells the story in telegraphic dispatch from New York under date of Nov. 24. as fol- lows
 1.-TWO alternative proposals to its shareholders were announced last ev- ening by the Cuggenheim Exploration Company as to the methods which the company may follow in disposing of its holding of shares of the Utah Copper Company to the Kennecott Copper Corporation Embodied in the announcement was the information that the Kennecott is planning the ac- quisltiou of the Copper River & North western railroad in Alaska. with indi- cations that control of the Alaska Steamship Company is to be similarly taken over by the Kennecott.
 "The announcement stated that the directors deemed it impracticable to dispose of the 4O4,5O4 shares of the capital stock of the Utah Copper com pany in the open market. and consid- cred it unwise to distribute it among the stockholders under conditions like l ly to result in substantial shrink ! age in value. Shareholders of the Guggenheim Exploration company are therefore. either given the choice of accepting cash at the rate of 70 per cent per share for the stock in the Utah Copper Company to be sold to the Kennecott or to accepting shares of tho Kennecott.
 Tn explaining advantages of the shareholders of the Guggenheim Ex- ploration Company accepting shares of Kennecott on the sale of Utah Cop per. it is stated that the Kennecott intends 10 Durchase from thA -nesise Syndicate the entire capital stock and all the outstanding bonds of the Copper River & Northwestern Rail- road and 13,OO0 shares of the capital stock of the Alaska Steamship Com pany."
