Another Tent Show.

Last week Butler was afflicted with
another ''tent show" the Dorothy
Reeves aggregation and from what
TIE few who attended have to say it
was below the average of the travel
ing tent shows" and the general
averageSis very low at that.
The only apparent reason why peo-
pie viii put out real money to attend
shows of this sort is that the late P.
T. Barnum was correct when he said
that the American people like to be
humbugged." If Butler people would
stop patronizing shows of this class
they would soon cut the town off
their itinerary or when they did come
here they would put on a show worth
the money.

BUTLER WINS TWO BALL
GAMES
tFirst Team Goes to Clinton and Wins
1 to Q. The All Stars Stay At
Home and Beat Spruce.

Sunday the Butler bali team, &C.
companied BY large number of en-
thusiastic fans, journeyed over to
Clinton and won ball game from the
team representing that town. Ihe
game was : pitchers battle between
Lefty Burnett, Clinton's star twirler
and Howard, who was in the box tor
Butler and with both pitching air
tight ball for the first eight innings it
looked as though the game might go
into extra innings. But in the first
half of the ninth the strain proved too
much for Burnett and he blew up
and the boys from Butler won ball
game. Williams, first up was given a
base on balls and was sacrificed 10
second by Ellis. This seemed to rat
tie Burnett and he walked Osborne
and Campbell. Then came Hulse'
who filled the hero role. Tie made
Burnett use everything he had and
after taking two strikes picked one to
his liking and smashed out two
Dagger, scoring Williams and Os-
borne. Campbell was caught at the
plate and Hulse went to third on the
throw in from where he scored when
Holler tumbled kershner's grounder.
kershner scored on Shroyer's three
Dagger. Luscomb ended the inning
by flying to center.
The work OF the Butler infield was
entirely too fast for the Clinton boys,
last double plays on three occasions
cutting off almost certain scores. Ac-
cording to the Henry County demo-
crat it was these same double plays
that caused the Clinton boys to lose
heart. Buffers infield is one OF the
fastest ever seen in this city, In
Sundays game Osborne especially
covered himself with glory by going
after all sorts of hard chances.
Kershner appears to be fixture al
first where he is making a hit with
the fans in the way he handles the
difficult throws at the initial corner.
The same teams san be sseeA nsxti l's 8
Sunday On the local grounds and the
Clinton boys are going to do their

ard the Butler boys say that they can

of the season is assured.

Thursday evening when about so

Farm and Home Improvement Club

Had It not been for the threatening
weather this would have been one of
the most successful runs that the club
had ever made. More than $50 had
signified their intention of attending
and the Butler band with its soloists
were all ready to start when the
clouds began to gather and a storm
seemed imminent, keeping the band
and many of those intendig to take
the trip at home.
Those who braved the elements and
made the trip had nothing to regret
as the hospitality of the Hudson folks
made them forget for the time the
threatening weather. All sorts of
good eatables had been provided and
as soon as they arrived they were
taken charge of by a reception COM
mittee and led to the school house
where they spent some time partaking
of the good things after which they
hurried back to Butler ahead of the
storm which broke later in the night.
While the run was not the success

made by the Commercial Club to get
there.
