POST SEASON GAMES
SET BY COMMITTEE
Twin Falls VIII Play ShOshOne at Sh0-
shone Sunday and at Twin Falls the
Sunday After.

The first of the post season cham
pionship games of the Southern Idaho
baseball league will be played at Sho-
shone Sunday, according to plans
mapped out last evening by represen-
tatives of the league clubs. The sec
>ond game will be played here the fol-
lowing Sunday, while the third, should
a third be necessary, will be played at
Jerome early the following week. Sho-
shone won the first season champion
ship and Twin Falls the second, so it
will be necessary to play post sea-
son series for the years champion
ship.
Rupert, through it's representative
and it's attorney E. r. Dampier, tried
to secure a ruling from the executive
committee setting aside games in
which Robinson played for Twin Falls
against Rupert.
This would have given the cham
pionship to Rupert had it been allow
ed Robinson was engaged by Twin
Falls at the beginning of the season.
Rupert wanted to buy him and Man
ager Christian agreed to sign a re
lease provided that Rupert either pay
$40 for him or furnish another good
player Rupert did neither but Rob
inson played there for a time, without
being released and then returned
here, playing the rest of the season
with Twin Falls. The committee ruled
that this constituted no reason for for
feiting the game in which he played
against Rupert while with Twin Falls
after his return.
Shoshone wanted the privilege OF
playing all men hired by them during
the year in the post season series
This would let in Hartman, of Tacoma
whom they hired but did not play. The
committee ruled that nobody could
play who did not play at least one
game with the teams contesting, dur
ing the season.

KIMBERLY BASEBALL
TEAMS CLOSE THIS YEAR
Firemen's Aggregation Sing Swan
Song For Season Fierce Contention
Over Merits.

The baseball feud RACES more fierce
ly than ever in Kimberly, according
to a fan from that town, who says that
the war among the fire boys will be
carried over until next year. The
first game of the season resulted in
victory for hose team No. 2. A return
match gave the second round to No. 1
by a shade. The last game was played
Sunday.
During the first part of the battle,
the No. 2 bunch piled up twelve
scores. Then the other side came
back and by the end of the first half
of the seventh had ten scores to their
credit. Then the No. crowd quit the
field. They said that it was apparent
that the No team would all fall dead
from overexertion, if the game we're
not stopped and that they would tech
nically forfeit rather than have such
thing happen. They said, however,
that should the No. l crowd train up
during the winter, so that they would
not be in danger from overheating, a
return match would be played. The
No l team members say that the 9th
ers simply quit while the quitting was
good and that nobody was in danger
of collapse.

CALLED BY DEATH
WelI-kn0Wn Commission Merchant
Dies Suddenly Tuesday Evening
Near Depot.

Stricken with heart failure by the
side of car of potatoes which he was
loading, Joseph A. Abramson, a we'll
known commission merchant, died
alone Tuesday afternoon about four
o'clock near the Oregon Short Line
freight depot in this city. Several
members of the interstate commerce
commission valuation crew, saw the
body a few minutes after Mr.. Abram-
| son died, and notified the depot, which
in turn notified the authorities. A
postmortem examination conducted
under the direction of Coroner c. j.
Crosby, revealed the cause of death
and showed that no violence had been
used. The funeral will be held tomor-
row from the Grossman & Eames cha
pei at 10 o'clock under the auspices of
the Elks' lodge. The Christian Sci
ence church will conduct the religi-
Gus services. Interment takes place
in the Elks Rest in the Twin Falls
cemetery
Mr.. Abramson was thirty-eight
years, three months and nine days old
He was long identified with this city
first as senior partner in the con-
tracing firm of Abramson brothers
and later as senior partner in the
Abramson-B Produce company. A
couple of years ago he quit business
here and moved to Contact. Later he
went to Long Beach, California, from
which place he returned, with his
wife, on September TO- and entered
the produce business as a representa-
tive of a San Francisco commission
house. He leaves a wife, two broth
ers, Charles and d. w Abramson, wht
live here, and parents residing in Iii

A GREAT FLOOD
AGAIN SWEEPS CHINA
Nearly Million People Homeless, 1000
Square Miles Being Inundated by
HWai River.

WASHINGTON-Ne one million
people have been made homeless by
one of the greatest floods on record in
that section OF China where the Amer
ican Red Cross already has spent
100000 for flood protection and where
the $30.000,000 loan for reclamation
work which was postponed by the war
was to have been spent.
Reports to the state department
Wednesday from the American consul
at Nanking said the Hwai river had in
undated an area of about 1000 square
miles in Hulk province. Appeals for
aid have been sent out. All the au-
tumn crops were destroyed.
Floods occurred in an alluvial sec
ton where the north to south passage
of the grand canal had damned large
lake and allowed the Hwai river too
little space to carry off the excess wa
ter. Wednesdays delayed advices des-
cribed conditions several weeks ago,
but officials believed there probably
had been little improvement.
Colonel Siebert of the Panama canal
head of the Red Cross commission
which approved Jameson's plans, and
the Chinese government, began ar
rangements for a S30,000,000 loan to
put them into effect. The European
war, however, made it impossible to
raise the capital.

BUSINESS GIRLS WILL
PRESENT FARCE COMEDY

the first rehearsal was held of Cap
tain Racket" a well-known farce

Captain Racket" by Charles Town
send, writer of many successful
plays, is a rapid-fire farce comedy in
three acts There are eight in the
cast, five men and three women, and
the situations all through the play are
cleverly presented. The action of the
play deals with the troubles of the
young Captain Racket, an irresponsi-
BILE chap who's greatest accomplish
ment is his ability to tell lies. He has
tricked his uncle Obadiah out of the
hand of the beautiful Clarice, and his
efforts to lie himself out of his pre-
dicament only serve to complicate his
position.
The cast will be completed today
and the names of those taking part in
the comedy will be published next
week.

MOST PROSPEROUS
IN SIXTY YEARS
Ohio Farmer Writes to Times Telling
of Big Money Made by Farmers and
W0rkmen.

"Times are the most prosperous that
l have ever known in my sixty years
residence here" is the way that Leon
ard Warner, of Dundas, Ohio, puts it
in a letter to THE TIMES received
yesterday. Farmers are offered thir-
ty-four cents for butter fat, thirty
cents for eggs, sixteen cents for chick
ems, six cents for cattle off the grass,
hogs twelve cents dressed, potatoes
$1.25 a bushel, apples $3.50 a barrel,
he continues. while farm hands get
from SO to $4 day and can hardly be
secured at that, as many of them are
employed on public works "Now that
you have prohibition, keep it, as the
traffic is great here and much is spent
on liquor"
