Team Standings.

Despite the hot weather fairly
large crowd witnessed the double
header played in the City league Sun
day at Washington park.
The Interurban Bullets defeated
JumbO's Mud Hens in a closely con-
tested game to 8, and in the second
gained staged the Kronitz Kolts and
victors by score of to O..
The Bullets touched Bublitz for
only three hits, but managed to col
lect five runs before play was stopped
Bublitz was given poor support, his
team mates being credited with seven
errors. The Mud Hens played in hard
luck for they outhit their opponents
two to one. Keel was the heavy slug
ger of the team, getting three hits out
of four trips to the plate. In the sew
enth the Mud Hens had splendid
chance to score, but Molzahn in try
ing to steal second forced out Rich
ards, This practically killed the scor-
ing chances of the Hens and they
were handed the losing end of the tilt
In the second contest the Kolts with
Nowack and A. Henke in the points,
held their opponents to three hits.
Henke relieved Nowack in the sew
enth and was never in danger Henke
managed to pole three safe hits out of
four times up. William Carey lent his
services in calling balls and strikes.

AND HOW IT IS CONSTRUED

Clerk of the Courts J. G. BRANDED of
Jefferson has construed the new natur-
alizatiOn law and his Interpretation is
herewith given in his own words:
3 l have spent considerable time in
endeavOring to get a true meaning of
the new naturalization laws, and
while | cannot. guarantee my con-
structiOn, my opinion is that it's mean
ing is as follows: That the act of May
S, 1918, validates petition for natural
izatiOn based on old law declarations
if filed before January 81, 1918, and
granted before December 81, 1918. The
same law provides that petitions of
Germans and Austrians filed before the
declaration of war based on declara-
lions at least two years old at the
date of the declaration of war, may be
granted a hearing, after the commits
siOner of naturalization has received
special notice of 80 days. l have
mailed said notice to Washington and
no doubt the petitions now pending
will be taken up sometime in Septem-
Der, 1918. Petitioners will all be noti-
fled when to appear.
