FOR TWO CONTESTS
First at Blackshere Park
Tomorrow; Second at
South Side Monday.

Dick Guys Pittsburgh colleglans
will show up at Blackstone park to-
morrow for game with the Consumer
Fuel company team and it is a good
bet that real battle will follow.
Mr.. Guy always has a good team,
made up OF some of the best independ-
ent baseball players in the country
The Collegians is an old organization
and their trip to West Virginia is al
ways looked forward to with much in
terest, due to their clean and clever
manner Of play. Several major league
players have got their start with the
Collegians-Shaw, the star Washing
ton twirler, played his first baseball
with the Co!legians.
Ray will be seen at short stop to-
morrow and that will mean that the
Consumer team will have 10 keep them
away from the short stop position
Black, the clever little Is year old sec.
ond basemen, is considered one Of the
best infielders the Collegians ever had
on their team. Black is now under
contract with the New York Americans
and will report for duty after short
schedule with the Collegians.
Manager Rotnlisberger will have his
best collection of players in the game
and this means that the visitors will
have no easy sailing.
Monday evening of next week be-
ginning at $3.50 o'clock at South Side
park the Idamay team will play game
with the Pittsburgh Collegians.

Defeated Owens Team Last
Night By Seven to
Five Score.

BY handing Owens rs defeat last
evening the West virginian nine took
one big leap out of the cellar position
and landed away up in fifth place in
the City league standing. The Mid
West, B. e %. and Owens teams were
each left along the road behind.
Erwin Boice, the clever Owens
pitcher who has been doing such fine
work In the City league and who
pitched a no hit no run game against
the West Virginan two weeks ago.
was not pitching up to standard and
was hit freely in the game last night.
The game would have been a poor
one had not the West yirginian team
joined in with the bottlemakers in
making errors. The printers made
many errors, but redeemed them
selves at bat. The score:

Change of Time for
Today's Ball Games

Instead of playing at p. m. the
Wholesaler Mining Machinery game
will be played at South Side park this
afternoon at o'clock. This will be the
first game of the afteroon. The second
game will begin at 4:30 between the
Watson Building and Midwest teams
Both games will be but seven in
nings. The change was made because
the Midwest players had some extra
work to get out this afternoon which
made it impossible for them to be on
the baseball grounds at o'clock.

able that Dawson will do the pitching
for ldamay tomorrow against the Mo-
nongah Glass and that June will be

COULDN'T MAKE CURVE.

"Death turn" in the Calumet road
between Silver Lake and the city is
harmless looking enough in the day
time. There seems to be no necessity
there for piling up in the ditch. There
was belief that after July | drivers
would find no great difficulty in turn
ing their automobiles around that cor
ner in coming in from Silver Lake
However, it probably is a little decep-
tive at night and turns at a sharper
angle than one unfamiliar with the
road expects. Early last Sunday morn
ing Adolph Kresse of Sheboygan, driy-
ing an Oakland car, went off the road
at this point. The car was pauly dam
aged. 1t contained five people and
was coming to town at a good clip
about 2 a. m. A girl was badly cut
over an eye and Kresse was severely
cut and bruised The rest received
minor injuries. When Kresse got back
to the scene from town to get the car
some thieves had stripped it bare of
everything loose and detachable.

TRAIN KILLS PEDESTRIAN.

When the train that runs on the Two
Rivers branch reached that city last
Saturday morning the train crew dis
covered mans cap and a pair of gold
trimmed eye glasses on the locomotive.
On the way back to Manitowoc they
kept a sharp lookout and found the
body of Frank Gleich on the track
near Evergreen cemetery. The body
was badly mutilated and was not iden-
titled for hours until AL Norris, a
horseshoer recognized the body as that
of Gleich who had lately been in his
employe as horseshoer. He left Sat
urday morning, telling his family THAT
he would spend the day with his wife's
brother Gustave Hummer at -Four
Corners. He was doubtless taking n
short cut to that place along the track
when the train hit him about 6:35 and
the body remained undiscovered until
the train returned from Two Rivers
Gleich was hard of hearing. He was 65
years of age and was born in this
county. He was an expert blacksmith
He is survived by his wife and a daugh-
ter, Miss Addie. An inquest was not
deemed necessary.

VIOLATE GAME LAWS.

Conservation Warden Egan is get
ting peeved over numerous reports of
violations of game laws and has started
to bring in offenders. He says that he
is going to get all of them. There are
reports of the use of searchlights and
duck calls before sunrise and other
violations of the provisions made by
our state elders at Madison. Monday
Charles Berlin of Kohler and Frank
Zettler of New Holstein were in muni-
cipal court for infracti0ns of the game
laws Berlin had offended the peace
and dignity of the state by presuming
to shoot hell diver from boat in
open water. The manner in which this
bird with sinister name may be gath
cred in is carefully and thoroughly de-
fined somewhere among the 5000 game
laws OF the state and Berlin paid $50
and costs for not knowing how, or
knowing how, not doing it as the
statute prescribes.
Zettluer's offense was more heinous.
He paid $50 and costs for not being
provided with a hunting license.
In state where a man must have a
license to shave the back of your neck
or sell a vacant lot for you or apply
cold cream to "milady's" nose one
ought to know without being told that
he cannot shoot at telephone pole
without having a license.

QUICK THINKING USEFUL.

Miss Caroline Platt, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. +. M. Platt, displayed rare
presence of mind that probably saved
her some broken bones or worse in
iuries in an automobile accident Satur-
day night She was returning from
the Country club driving a closed car
At the second street railway crossing
near the club she edged over to the
side of the road to allow another car
to pass. As she did SO she felt the car
slipping off the road and threatening
to go down the embankment head first.
She deliberately deserted the wheel and
erawled over into the back seat AS
she got over the car dropped eight feet
and the empty front seat took most Of
the impact while the occupant crouched
in the rear and suffered only cut in
knee and some bad bruises.

PLANTS REOPEN AT TWO RIVERS.

After being shut down for three
weeks, the Hamilton and Aluminium
Goods plants were opened Tuesday
morning and officials of the Aluminium
Goods company claim that about 10
per cent of their employees returned to
work and more are expected to return
each day
The men who remained loyal to the
employers and who have remained at
work will receive protection from
Sheriff Brennan and by more than II
hundred deputies who were brought
here for that purpose. There was no
trouble when operations were resumed
at the shops this morning and none is
anticipated, but the deputies will re-
main here until the authorities are as
sured that the trouble is entirely over.
Little more than one-third of the en-
ployes of the two plants of the Alum-
mum GOODS company joined the strike,
it is said, and on the last day on which
the plants were operated nearly two
thirds of the men reported for work.
In plant No. it is said that one-third
of the men joined the strike while at
plant No. not to exceed 10 per cent
walked out.
The plants of the Eggers Veneer
Seating company, Wisconsin Manufae-
turing company and kahlenberg Bros.
company which were affected by the
strike, are all running, but not with
full crews. Employers feel confident
that all difficulties will soon be settled
and conditions about the plants will re-
turn to normal. Two Rivers Chroni-

OBITUARY.

Daniel Tracy, we'll known resident
of Manitowoc, succumbed to an illness
of several weeks this morning at
O'Clock at the hospital where he was
taken a week ago. Tuesday evening
in an effort to save his life an operation
was performed for prostate ectomy but
it was of no avail
Mr. Tracy was born in Kings County,
ireland and was rs years of age. He
came to America with his parents
when years old. The family resided
at Buffalo, N. Y. for few years and
came to Manitowoc in 1854 and settled
on l60 acres of wood land in Liberty
where the deceased grew to manhood
and assisted his father in clearing the
land and after some years they had
converted the woods into one Of the
finest farms in Liberty. He received
his education in the public school and
when he became man he was promin-
ent in local affairs. He was twice
married. His first wife was Miss
O'Rourke who died shortly after their
marriage. A few years later he mar
ried Miss Catherine Morrissey Of
Maple Grove who survives him.
Mr.. Tracy was genuine Democrat
and always took an active interest in
politics He was director of his school
for many years and was chairman of
Liberty for some time. He repre-
sented the second assembly district in
Madison in lS87-89 serving for
two years. He was a candidate for
sheriff on the Democrat ticket in 1894
but was defeated by an absurd story
that he had said something uncompli-
mentary of certain nationality. Dan
Tracy was absolutely without national
bigotry. There was no boy ever rails
ed in Manitowoc county with less of
national intolerance in his nature than
Dan Tracy. He filed every position
of trust he held with credit He was a
man of sturdy character, honest and
outspoKen, true TO his friends and to
his principles.
He made a trip to Ireland in 1891
and visited the scene of his childhood
returning tine following year. Some
30 years ago he sold the farm and re-
moved to this city ard for the past
twenty years conducted hotel and
saloon on Tenth and Marshal streets.
He rented the place over year ago
and has since lived retired life. In
the death of Daniel Tracy Manitowoc
suffers the loss of an honest and ap,
right man and citizen of the highest
type. Peace TO his soul.
The funeral services will be held
Saturday morning from Sacred Heart
church. Interment will be in St.
Isidores cemetery in Meeme.
