Robins Blank Cubs
in the Opening Game
The Robins Roost.

George Cutshaw. the man who put
Bloomington, ILL.,. on the map, was
honored by his fellow townsmen. In
the first frame he came up to the
bat and the game was halted while a
committee of citizens from Blooming
ton advanced TO the plate and pre-
scented him with n gold watch. George
responded with line single to the
right field. He played wonderful
game in the field. too.
Sinister Dick Kinsella. the champion
ivory hunter. was among those present
at the game.
Jim Gilmore. president of the old
Federal League, was spectator
at the game yesterday. He rooted for
Coombs to get a no-hit game. When
Flack made a great running catch on
Stengel, Gilmore said: 81 pronounce
that a pretty keen grab"
In the third inning Coombs pitched
three pitched balls. Knabe grounded
to Mowrey, Jack threw out Workman,
and Olson attended TO Hendrix.
Casey Stengel played host to his
father and sister and lifelong friend
of his dads. They travelled all the
way from Kansas City TO see Casey
in action against the Cubs. He gave
his kinsmen cause for jubilation by
getting a hit in the first frame and
making a brilliant catch Of Saier's rap
TO the right field fence.
Wheat made a bold bid for home
run in the first frame, but lost by
inches. He hit ball over right field
fence just outside the foul line. Buck
got a triple in the third frame.
Every time Vic Safer came up to
the bat the outfelders went back TO
the fences. Vic was rather unlucky.
Once he fouled to Chief Meyers and
on two other occasions Stengel caught
his drives.

Tragic Death Of Ysung Man

While on his way from his
home on Straight Creek to Hart
ley last Thursday Russell Belt, a
young man of 25 years, son Of
Lawson Belt, of Industry. was
thrown from his horse and in.
stantly Tiled. His skull was
crushe@ very badly and his face
was bruised almost beyond rec
ignition.
Just how the accident oc urred
will perhaps always be a mys-
terry since no one was there at the
time. The horse was a fiery an
imal but Mr.. Belt, a strong and
virile young man in the best of
health. was an excellent rider.
1t is supposed. however. that the
horse which was in fast gallop
stumbled over a large rock in the
otherwise smooth road near
where the young man was found.
Mr.. Belt was we'll known and
liked here and in the community
where he lived. and his many
friends deeply regret news of this
tragedy. He was a member of
Jr. o. U. A. M. and lad taken
the initiatory degree in the
Burning Springs Lodge No. 1872
A. F. & A. NJ. He was also a
member of the Elizabeth lodge
of Maccabees.
Beside his father, FIVE sisters
and one brother survive. They
are Misses Beryl and Eva, at
home; Mrs. Chloe Terrell, Of
Parkersburg; Mrs Lee Rooster,
of Charleston; Mrs. Nellie Lem
ons. of near Yawkey, Lincoln
county: and Harold. at home.
His mother, a sister of Attorney
B. B. Terrell, of this place, died
a few years ago.
Funeral services were held
Sunday with the Junior Order
United American Mechanics in
charge, ard interment followed
in the famil.' cemetery at Indus
try.

J. M. Hamilton Breaks Arm

broken arm when he slipped and
fell at his home on High street.
The break, a painful fracture of
the left humerus near the shout
der. was set by DR.. ]. A. Nor
ford, and just now, though suf-
fering some from the discomfort
of his injury, Mr.. Hamilton is
getting along as we'll as could be
expected.
During the past several months
Mr.. Hamilton has been unwell
and most of the time has been
confined to the house. His VEN
ture out alone Monday, a slippery
day, in his enfeebIed and nervous
condition, resulted in the fall
which broke his arm.
