M.SPs CAPTURE THIRD STRAIGHT
For the second time in the pres.
River Falls Defeated in a Loosely Played Game
Score IL to 10
By Boobies

For the second time in the pres.
ent season the M. S. P.s have won
three straight games. The first
trio of wins started May 10 and
was rudely interrupted on June 8.
This time all the games have been
won by a one run margin and
strong resistance is promised any
team trying to break this winning
streak. Incidently the team has
won nine and lost six, attaining a
percentage of 900. Although Wag,
our Woodworking and good ma
tured catcher, had departed. during
the week, the receiving end was
efficiently looked after by East.
A large crowd of visitors, which
during the day had been the guests
of the prison management, stayed
to see the ball game and seats we're
provided for them back of center
field. That wasn't close enough
for some who were real fans and
they strolled over and mingled
with the crowd near first base.
These visitors we're members of
the National Editorial Association,
which held its annual convention
in Minneapolis last week.
We had expected a close game
because the same teams last year
had treated us to a 3 to 2 affair
which went to the M. S. P.s. This
game was in marked contrast, how
ever, and was married by many
wild throws and stupid playing.
The visitors started briskly in
the first. Jensen walked but was
forced at second on Kraut's
grounder to Brad. Rose beat out
an inield grounder to Della. Sen
men out, Har to Della. Clark
cracked the pill to deep left for
home run, driving in two ahead of
him. Sherburn struck out.
In the fifth another run was add
ed to the visitors score when
Richards doubled. Jensen out,
Brad to Della. Kraut popped to
| Wells. Rose was safe when Har
fumbled his grounder and Rich
ards scored. Rose stole second
and started for third when the ball
rolled toward center field but Gil
pegged to Har in time for the
out.
Davidson opened the seventh by
doubling to right field but was
caught at third on a fieIder's choice
when Boothby grounded to Lee.
Richards struck out. Boothby
stole second and scored on Jen-
sons single to right field. Jensen
safe at second when Lee threw
wild. Kraut beat out grounder
to short. Rose singled, scoring
.JensOn. Semen ont Har To Della.
Two runs.
The eighth was the visitors big
inning and four counters were
showed across before they were
checked. Clark walked. Sherburn
singled. Davidson singled, Clark
scoring. Sherburn and Davidson
then worked double steal. Booth
by struck out. Richards tripled to
left field, scoring two. Wells fum-
bled Jenson's grounder and Rich
ards tailed. Kraut struck out.
Rose singled. Semen out, East to
Della.
The M. S. P.s scored two in the
first. Della walked. Brad dumped
one in front of the plate and beat
the throw to first. Fan singled,
scoring Della. Lew beat out hit
to short. Brad was thrown out
when he attempted to steal home.
East out, Jensen to Davidson, but
Fan scored. Lew out stealing

In the fifth five more TALES were
added. Clark muffed Lees fly.

MIR. sCHOFIELD DEAD.
Samuel schofeld, SC years

Samuel Schofeld, sc years old,
who many years ago with his family
and the John Thatcher family set
tied on what was known as the Geo
Bondurant farm, or the Tim Ruane
farm, on Middle Lick Creek, in Aud
rain County, died last Friday and was
buried by the side of his wife in the
Vandalia cemetery Saturday.
Mr.. Schofield was from New York
state. He did not remain long in
Audrain, but bought a farm about
three miles northeast of his first
settlement just over the line in
Rails county. He had several chill
dren, but in later years he lived on
the farm by himself. One time this
last winter neighbor went in to see
him and found him in a chair nearly
frozen to death and unable to move.
The children were attentive, but
they live in different parts of the
country. They wished their father to
board where he might be better cared
for but he could not be persuaded
to leave the old home.

The Young Mans Inning.

Apropos to the above, Hon. John
A. Knott, editor of the Hannibal
Journal, uses the following editorial
in his paper:
The young man has better oppor-
tunities today than ever before. Not
only are possibilities larger and am
billions higher, but, since methods
are swifter and vision is broader and
knowledge more easily attainable
than in any preceding period, more
may be accomplished in early life.
The young man of today may be
master Of trade. profession or bus
mess at an age when his grandfather
had scarcely finished an apprentice
ship. Universal education and quick
and cheap communication and trans
portation bring to the young man
now a practical grasp of affairs
which only long years of experience
could give to our fathers SO years
ago.
J rum lhcIuly anu OlHCO duu
church the cry is for young men. II
is the young mans inning. The
world is his to do with II as he sees
fit. Youth is the master
This is very we'll for the young
man, if he only keeps in mind The
fact that he will not always be Z
young man. In the same degree the
he has his opportunities when he Il
young he will be deprived of then
when youth is gone.
It behooves him, therefore, to pro
vide against the enforced retiremen
that awaits him just about the tim,
when he may begin to feel that hi
experience fits him for the best work
Now is his chance. Now is hi
time to be turning every spare mo
ment for his work. Each hour CIV
en- to special study is worth NOR
than whole day in old age.
There is no young man on thi
earth so poor. so afflicted, so shut II

AFTER-GLOWS OF THE
GENERAL ASSEMBLY.
(By Frank Armstrong;


Not only should the constituents of
James L. McQuie, who represented
Montgomery County in the Forty
Ninth General Assembly, be proud of
the man and the record he made, but
the newspaper fraternity of the State
should also, for the reflected regal
glory on the Fourth Estate. Then,
too, the educators of the Common
wealth owe much to Representative
McQuie, for he cared for the chief
measures relating to them and the
cause of education to a successful
completion in the House. In fact the
entire eitizenTy of the State should
chant his praise, and in token of
their appreciation for his attachments
and his fidelity he should be honored
with the Speakership OF the House
at the next, the Fiftieth General AS
sembIy of the State OF Missouri.
This will be the Golden Assembly
OF the State, the first held in the new
Capitol Building, and the House
should be crowned with ruler. a
man OF the people, one who een
walk with kings and notlose the com
mon touch" Such a man is James L.
McQuie, editor OF the Montgomery
city Standard. Here's hoping that ne

The State Board of Equalization
has increased the assessed valua-
ton for taxes in Missouri more than
fifty million dollars. 1t is a ten per
cent raise. In Audrain it is on real
estate and mules and amounts to
over 100000. In our short vision
we scarcely see the reason for it.
Surely it is not meant as an insinua-
tion that the assessors did not do
their duty.
