PHILIP TWO--INTERIOR FIVE

Before the largest crowd that
has turned out to witness a ball
game here this season, the Philip
team was defeated on the local
grounds on last Sunday. The
game had been we'll advertised and
the hard fought battles of the two
previous contests led people to be-
lieve that another extra inning
game would be pulled off. Anyway
they came from Midland, Ottumwa
Milesville, Kadoka, Cottonwood,
Quinn and all the other towns
and hamlets.
The game itself was not up to
the usual standard. This was true
with respect to Philip. Interior
seemed to be the usual good form
and out-played her opponents at
every turn. While Philip secured
a larger number of hits off Rock,
the Indian twirler, they were scat
tered and this coupled with some
poor base running left them with
the short end of a five to two score
at the end of nine innings.
Overgaard who was in the box
for Philip, was not in his usual
form, and while he pitched good
ball, his fielding was poor, the
three errors he made contributing
to Inteior's score. Holley batted
for Overgaard in the eighth and
pitched the last two innings with
out a hit.
The first batter up for Inteior
went to first on an error and to
second on another. Two hits then
netted two scores. That was the
end Of their scoring until the sew
enth, when two hits and series
Of errors netted them three more.

While Chatterer the Red Squirrel was looking for Whitefoot the Wood Mouse in the Green Forest over or the Green Meadows. Peter Rabbit was looking for Danny Meadow Mouse. Danny's home was not far from the dear Old Briar patch. and he and Peter were and still are very good friends. So Peter knew just about where to look for Danny and it didn't take long to find him.
 Hello Peter Rabbit. You look as if yau had something very important on your mind,' was the greeting of Danny Meadow Mouse as Peter came hurrying up to where Danny was sitting.
 T have" said Peter. Tt Is mes- sage for you. Old Mother Nature says for you to be on hand tomorrow morn ing when school opens at sun-up over in the Green Forest. Of course you will be there."
 "Of course" replied Danny Meadow Mouse in the most matter of fact tone. .Of course. If Old Mother Nature real ly sent me that messa ge---
 "She really did" interrupted Peter.
 "Of course, there isn't anything for me to do but obey" Danny finished. Inen ms lace DeCdHe very SODeE. That is a long way for me to go Peter" said he. 'T wouldn't take such a journey for anything or for anybody else But Old Mother Nature knows, and if she has sent for me she must be sure I can make the trip safely. What time did you say I must bs there?"
 At sun-up tomorrow morning" re- piled Peter. "We meet every morning at sun-up. Shall I call for you on my way there?'
 Danny shook his head. Then he be- gan to laugh. What are you laughing at?" demanded Peter
 I'm laughing a the very idea of me with my short legs trying to keep up with you" replied Danny. "I wish you would sit up Peter, and take a good look all around to make sure that Old Man Coyote and Reddv Fox and Red tail the Hawk and lBlack Pussy the Cat from Farmer Browns are nowhere about"
 rerer obligingly sat up and looked this way and looked that way and looked the other way. There was no one in sight of whom he or Danny Meadow Mouse need be afraid. Peter said, as much.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1920-06-23

Then he asked Why did you want to know. Danny?"
 Because I am going to start at once. . replied Danny.
 Start for where?' asked Peter, look ing much puzzled,
 Start for school, of course" replied Danny rather shortly.
 But school doesn't begin until sun-up tomorrow morning" protested Peter.
 Which is just the reason I am going to start now,f retorted Danny. If I should put off staring until the last min ute I might not get there at all. I would have to hurry, and it is hard work to hurry and watch for danger at the same time. I've noticed that people who put things off until the last minute and then have to hurry are quite apt to rush head long into trouble. The way is clear now. so I am going to start. 1 can take my time aad keep a proper watch for dan ger. I'll see you over there in the morn- ing, Peter
 Danny turned and disappeared in one of his private little paths through the grass and Peter noted that he was head ed toward the Green Forest. Copyright, 1920 by T w Burgess9

Mobile. August 12.-(SpeciaL)-J. L.

 Gilmore, while serving ten-year sea- tence for second degree murder, es- caped from the penitentiary July 20.
 When shown a photo of Dr. H. R. Knott, life termer from wetumpka, last Friday, Higbee said the second man -e- sembled the murderers but he was not positive.

 Wires were sent out to adjoining g cities, but no trace of the two men was found.

Brazilian Ore Steamer Due Today-Railroads Are to
 Handle Part

Advices from Mobile are to the effect that the steamer Santa Rosalie from Rio de Janerio, with a cargo of 7.5Oo tons of Brazilian ore, will put in there today. and the cargo will be discharged for shipment to the mills of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Company in Bir- mingham.
 Part of the movement will be made up the Warrior in barges and transferred at the Port of Birmingham to the mills in cars, the remainder coming by rail- road. because the river has not yet suff- cient available equipment with which to handle the entire shipment When thi. equipment is on the river, the ore will move regularly and exclusively that way and get the benefit of 20 per cent freight differential
 The yearly movement of this ore is un- derstood to be around 100, GOO tons and up.
