SNOWFLAKE WINS in
SWATFEST BATTLE

he OnOWIlaK6 DdS0DaIl team
encountered last Sunday after
noon on the Taylor diamond a
mixed-up bunch of Holbrook
ball artists composed Of players
from both the regular and Petro-
leum mines of that town.
The battle lasted throughout
the full term assigned for such
events and when the smoke and
other dust Of the affray had
calmed down, the scorekeeper
was enabled to make out 19 to
II, with Snowflake hanging on
the heavier side. 1t was a swat
fest from beginning to finish.
The players on both sides ap-
peared lifeless. except in hitting
the ball, and very little pep"
was shown, probably due to the
hot day and high wind.
The Holbrook boys borrowed
Postmaster Chas. Osborn from
Uncle Sam to do their twirling
and although he has been out of
the game for a few years he
appeared as strong at the finish
as in the initial inning. Ounce
Gardner did the receiving. For
Snowflake three pitchers were
used, McCloskey being in the
box for three innings, V. D.
Smith one and G. A. Smith hold
ing the visitors down to the
finish. About four hundred peo-
pie witnessed the contest. A
collection was taken up on the
ground to defray the expenses
of the Holbrook boys, a little
over $17 being gathered in, thus
causing the Snowflake team to
dig down in their own pockets
to the amount of something like
S12 to fill out the required amount
of expenses. 1t is funny that
the team furnishes the enter
tainment and is required to as
sist in paying for it. This
makes three straights the locals
have won this season, winning
two straight from Holbrook.
Early Sunday morning the
Snowflake team will leave for
st. Johns where at 3:15 in the
afternoon they will endeavor to
subdue the team of that town.
Cooley is red-hot after our boys
to play there on the 4th of July,
at which time, among other
things, they will have a big bar
becue.

template accompanying the team

autos can be procured for the

The total number Of civil cases COM

which number 217 were class A cases.
involving from 500 to $1,000, and
442 were class B cases. During the

IT might add that since May I and
up to today the number of civil cases

that over 1000 civil cases will be filed

DOCTORS MAY BUY soozE.
Medical Men Can Supply Nssds with.
out Necessity OF Bond.

Sioux City. Nov. l3.-Doctors may
purchase whisky for medicinal pur-
poses without furnishing . bond. as
has been necessary since war time
prohibition went into effect. News Of
the recent ruling by the government
authorities was received by Sioux City
physicians today.
No rush on the part Of medical men
to purchase liquor Is anticipated. as q
result Of the new ruling. by wholesale
drug Arms who have permission to
purchase whisky to sell to the medi-
cal profession.
"The bond requirement caused little
Inconvenience among the responsible
physicians" a prominent member Of
the profession declared. "Quacks now
may take advantage OF the oppor-
tunity to store up great amount Of
whisky.
1--WE have always been permitted
to buy any amount OF whisky we
wanted. The government. thru the
collector Of internal revenue. checked
us up to see II we were using an un-
reasonable amount. This rule still
prevails In the purchase Of narcotics.
Checks Of liquor probably will still be
made regardless Of the lifting Of the
requirement OF q bond"
No real difficulty has been ex-
perienced by 'physicians. It is said. In
purchasing whisky for medical pur-
poses. Drug firms handle 1t, In ac-
cordance with the law, and bootleggers
do not have to be resorted to. It was
pointed out.
Members Of the profession declared
that the great majority Of doctors in
Sioux City are ION the square" and
under no circumstances will they give
any liquor to persons unless It Is abb
soIutely necessary in cases Of illness.
