LOOKED UPON AS "SCARE"

Isaac johnson, president judge of
Delaware county and a Mcclure man,
will take over the reins of the return
board on Monday, when the cases of
Tinicum township and several Chester

Judge Hause. of West Chester, will
be called TO Media to take charge of
the criminal court to relieve Judge
johnson.
This move on the part of the Mcclure
faction is looked upon by the Sproul
men as an attempt to reverse Judge
William Il. Broomall's decision of YES
tcrday in which he ordered that all
ballot boxes from the city of Chester
where fraud or error was apparent
should he opened as we'll as the Tini-

All of Judge Broomalls $ recent rulings
have been in favor of the Republican
League Of Delaware county.
1T is a plain case of scare on the
part of the Mcclure faction" Thomas
A, Kcefer, return board watcher for
the Republican League said today.
'"They know that if the ballot boxes
from Chester are opened the recount
will defeat William T. Ramsey, the
Mcclure candidate for mayor, who won
out over Mayor w. S. Mcdowell by a
seventy nine plurality. The Mcclure
faction are sure of Judge johnson, but
they know that Judge Broomall will
give each side square deal. Well, it
will only mean that we will have to

That system of installmcnt stock

Heavy hitting and one-sided
scores marked the two champion
ship trays yesterday morning in Di-
visions and 2 of the Omaha Bee
Junior Base Ball association.
At Thirty-second and Dewey ave-
nue., the Woodman of the World
team broke the three-cornered tie
for first honors by defeating the
Suburbas by the large score of Is
to 4 and the Holmes Juniors won
the championship of Division 2 by
taking the Dorcas Street Stars to
7 to 0 trimming at Fontenelle
park.
In Division 1 the lodgemen elimi-
mated their opponents from the
championship race and will meet
the Shamrocks next Sunday after
noon to decide first place in that
loop.
Harold Mack, on the mound for
the Woodmen, although touched for
eight bingles, kept them we'll scat
tered, while his teammates gave him
errorless support and secured a
total of 10 hits off Connolly and
McAvoy.
Lux and Kneeter were both hit
hard by the Holmes Juniors, while
Writ, on the mound for the Holmes,
held the Dorcas Streeters to five
hits. The Dorcas Street-Holmes
Junior game was protested by the
Stars on the grounds that Third
Baseman William Wentroub is over
the age limit. This game will prob
ably be played over next Sunday, as
Wentroub, who played with the
Holmes yesterday, played in Di-
vision 1 during the regular league
season and is not allowed to play
in Division 2.
A meeting will be held this week
at which time a final decision will
be given.

Murphy Did-Its Win
Sixteenth Victory by
10-5 Score Sunday

Thhe Murphy Did-Its won their
sixteenth victory when they de-
feated Greenwood, Neb., Sunday by
score of 10 to S, after staging an
eighth inning rally that brought in
five runs.
The Murphys took the lead in
the first inning when Payne's sim
gle brought in two runs and Payne
scored on Williams double.
The blacksmiths increased their
lead when they made two more runs
in the third when Dygert reached
second on an error and scored on
Clair's double and Clair scored on
Payne's single.
The Greenwood team made two
in the fourth when Jardine singled
and scored on Stevens home run,
which bounced over left field fence.
The score was tied in the fifth
when Ziegenbiner singled and came
home when Finley hit home run
over the left field fence. Armstrong,
the next man up, hit the ball over
the right field fence, tying the score,
SIS.
In the eighth Mancuso walked and
scored when Evertt hit a home run
over the right field fence. Dygert
and Clair doubled and scored on
Williams home run over the left
field fence. The players of the home
club argued that Williams hit
bounced off Of the top of an auto
mobile and that he only deserved a
two-base hit. An argument arose
and Williams went back to second.
On the next pitched ball he stole
third and when the third baseman
dropped the ball he beat the throw
to home. 1t was the feature of the
game.
Bill Evertt pitched his first game
for the Murphys and was in true
form. Although he was touched for
nine hits they were kept scattered.
Evertt won his own game when he
made a home run in the eighth.
Evertt will stay with the Murphys
for the rest of the season. Van
