WIN AND LOSE At
CARSON CITY
Alma City Baseball Team
Show Speed Despite
Long Inaction
SCORES 2 TO 3 AND 8 TO s
The Games Were Headliners Of The
Big Field Day Celebration in
Carson Wednesday.

A victory and a defeat were the lot
of the Alma City baseball team when
they met the Carson City Independent
at Carson City, Wednesday morning
and afternoon in two games which
were the features of a big field day
celebration given under the auspices
Of some Of the business men of that
town. In the fter-breakfast affair
Alma lost hair raising game by the
score of three to two after nine inn
ings of good baseball The post pran-
dial contest was won by Alma in a
free hitting match by the score of
eight to five From an Alma point of
view the principal feature of the track
and field games was the victory by
Malcolm Smith in the one hundred
yard dash He had little trouble in
winning first place in this, simply let
ting out a couple notches at the start
and ending with a running hop step
and jump.
Hickey pitched the morning. game
for Alma and was opposed by Siple,
the lad who struck out sixteen Alms
batters in the first game of the year.
Except for the sixth inning in which
Carson men slammed out five hits for
a total of three runs he had them en-
tirely at his mercy. Alma scored the
first run Of the game when Hallebaugh
laced out clean hit and continued
around the bases at brief intervals, by
grace of fielding errors on the part Of
the Carson contingent In the eighth
inning Alma scored again on a single
by Malcolm Smith a similar hit by
Paul Cash and passed ball
Despite the fact that it is the first
time the Alma team had been in ac-
tion since the game with Mt. Pleasant
on the fifth of July, the men made few
errors and except for inability to hit
the ball at opportune times, they
found the offerings of Pitcher Siple
to their liking.
In the matinee affair the Alma team
led by Hallebaugh with three hits haN.
merry time with their bats, securing
ten clean hits to six for Carson City.
Alma scored first in this game also,
singing out the second inning Tor the
initiation of the hitting bee. Hits by
Steggall, Hallebaugh, Highfield and
Flemming followed in quick success
sion, were productive of two runs. On
three hits Carson City did Alma one
better by securing three runs, and in
the sixth added one more to their to-
tai. In the other half of this inning
Alma tied the score at four-all In
the seventh Carson again went into
the lead, by counting once on one hit
and Alma inield errors. However
this was a dying gasp for Alma came
back in the eighth inning and four
hits chalked up four runs putting the
game to their credit without further
dispute.
The following men played with AL
ma, Malcolm Smith, Page, Hallebaugh,
Steggall, Hickey, Barry, Highfield,,
Daily, Flemming, Hickey and Cash
Carson City was represented by F.
Smith, Thayer, Gilmore, Hutting, Rice
McCraken, McKenna, Halton and ST.
pie.
The team went to Carson City in
three autos returning the same even
ing. A small crowd watched the two
games and field sports.

George Hughes proved himself a hero

the wheel of a moving railroad loco

The two boys were standing by the
track when Paul Enoch slipped and
his leg became entangled in the wheels
of the engine. Before it could be
stopped or anyone could reach him the
lad had been whirled around twice by
the wheels revolution. Then George
reached him and, grabbing his COM
panion by the leg. pulled him free and
saved his life.
The boy was unconscious when res
cued, but physicians. who we're i'm
mediately called, said that his only
serious injury was a deep cash in the
right leg. George Hughes was pro.
claimed hero by the persons who
witnessed the rescue. He could not,
however, understand that he had done
anything remarkable. and insisted that
