"2. Man stole home from third
base by creeping into the crowd
alongside of base line and the
catcher could not see him.
"3. Umpire gave wheatley four
outs in first and fifth innings, caus-
ing three runs.
"a. A Wheatley man at the bat
tipped the ball with a man on first
base, who started to run to Set
ball to first to get him out while
the batter stood in his box and the
umpire called him safe.
"5. Umpire was not fair with
Blair in bases"
The following is a protest which
resulted in the game being re-
played. Capt. Frank Vaughan and
Manager Abe Goldstein. of the
Hayes School team, are the COM
posers.
From a Teacher.
The Hayes School puts in a pro-
test against the game played be-
tween the Hayes and Carberry
schools at the Terminal play
grounds. The game was played
unfairly and the umpire did not
give his full attention to the game.
When a man was on third. instead
Of the man running home the coach
ran for him and after tagging the
coach the captain of the Carberry
team said we tagged the wrong
fellow. The coach was running on

School and champion of her boys"
'T am writing to ask your pardon
in case I presumed too much last
Friday at the Virginia avenue
Fairgrounds. Let me state the sit
uation:
The game between Lenox and
Wallach. which was postponed from
Thursday to Friday. was scheduled
for 5 o'clock. When 1 mentioned
the hour more than one boy on our
team asked me to have the hour
changed on account of the fact that
some of our players work after
school.
"I called up your department and
stated the fact just stated. Later
in the day, I received word that the
game would be played at 3:45, and
I passed the word to the boys.
Stand BY Boys.
when I reached Virginia avenue
grounds last Friday, IL was s o'clock
and the Wallach-Lenox game had
not begun. My boys believe in me,
and / cannot afford to have them
lose faith In me. I appealed to the
umpire and the lady in charge of
the game to permit my boys to 60
home, without forfeit being
scored against them. The BOYS
declared they would lose money and
even job rather than to go back on
Wallach.' You know 1 could not
stand that. After being assured
that our boys would not lose by

COUNTY BILLS

We attempted some comments on
these two bills last week, drawing
our conclusions from the bills pub
lished by the state. After the paper
had gone to press further infornla-
tion was brought to our attention
A paper published in Denver came
out with long article denouncing
the two bills as a scheme Of real es-
tate agents. and the same bunch OF
so-called arguments a. we have
heard and refuted time and again
in regard to Pawnee county. No
figures given. but q regular dema-
gogue argument. and nothing to it
Following this we received circu-
lars from the two county commit
tees showing their claims.
They make a better showing for
valuation than we had supposed they
could make, in fact neraly twice
what we had supposed.
We took our figures from the last
Tax Commission report, which was
from the assessment made two years
ago, while doubtless these figures
are taken from the assessment made
Tor this year

whether It is morals or law that binds
US. He only knows that II we give a
pledge we are going to stand by 1t.
Take, for instance, article 10, the
war article Of the league. The soldier
reads there that the members Of the
league undertake to respect and pre-
serve against external aggression" the
territory and independence Of all other
members. That is the language
Of the covenant. The soldier trans.
lates that language In his mind Int
United States. He then would put the
pledge, II signed BY the United States,
in about this form:
"The United States undertakes to
respect and preserve against external
aggression the territory Of all mem.
bees Of the league" Add to this that

fight on call. for any other nation In
the league that is suffering from a case

we have to keep It.
The trouble might come in China, or
Slam, Greece, India or Egypt. We
might be called to fight to keep 98.000,-
900 Chinese In Shantung under Jap

The proposed counties OF Limon

portions Of Kit Carson, Lincoln and
Elbert Counties.
The development In these three
counties has been such In recent
years that smaller governmental di.
visions are an economic necessity
The Counties Of Kit Carson. Lin

Eastern Colorado was a stock coun,

Lincoln County is 70 miless by IS

II article 10 means what II says. Il
means war-more war than the United
States ever had before. II we pledge
ourselves to preserve against exter.
nal aggression" every other member Of
the league we have got to 6sht or
break our word.
Il we are going to fight, we must get
ready to fight. That means q great
deal. Only man who was In the war
knows how much. We can't contract
for lot Of war by signing article 10
and then not prepare for It.
The United States has fne fighting
men; none finer. Every soldier who
was In France knows this. And when
they got into the war these men were
warlike enough. But they never felt
that war was a regular business with
them. As the people In Europe under
stand 4, they were not military profes.
sionals. And the Americon people are
not professionals. They arc Q fighting
people, when called out. but In peace
they refuse to be military.
