HURLEY BALL TEAM TAKES
TWO FROM BESSEMER
Bessemer Got a String of Goose Eggs
in Sundays Game. Hurley Grabs
Mondays Game 6 to 3.

Hurley made it two straight from
Bessemer by taking the Memorial
Day game by the score of 8 to 3.
Bessemer was shut out in Sunday $
game while the locals piled up 7
runs.
With such old timers as Whit
man, Clifford and Emunson in the
lineup Hurley had an easy time of
it with Bessemer in Sunday s game.
The local boys not only played their
positions we'll but also pounded the
ball to all corners of the lot, in
Guiding several that went over the
fence for two stations. Two Hur-
leyites, Harrington and Schwab,
made home runs. Rinto for BeSs-
emer was landed on so hard that
he was forced to retire in the fourth
inning. His twisters were connect
ed with for a total c. seven hits,
netting six runs. Rinto was sue.
ceeded by Hoeft, but as Hurley al
ready had the game on ice there
was no need of continuing the
agony.
Lubi was on the mound for Hur-
ley and he upset the theory that
he was short term slab artist by
pitching the full nine innings. And
he pitched good ball too, allowing
but four safe ones and we'll scatter
ed at that.
That the Hurleyites played good
ball is evidenced by the fact that
but one error was chalked against
them. This one occurred in the
fifth inning when Whitman got in
front of a grounder that was too
hot to handle. Nothing serious re-
suited from the error, however.
Bessemer made four miscues.
Following is the score by innings:
Hurley -. Il 010x-7 /
Bessemer 30 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 90 q 4
Batteries-Lubi and Hunt; Rinto, Hoeft
and Basket; strikeouts, by Lubi 9. by
Rinto 8, by Hoeft 6; time, lao; umpires,
Aspinwall and Donich.
Hundreds of Hurley fans &C.
companied the team to Bessemer
and witnessed the Memorial Day
game.
Another Hurley pitcher made
his debut in the person of Lefty"
Swedborg, who has been playing at
first. Many of Lefty's friends have
been of the opinion that he could
pitch and after seeing him perform
in Mondays game they are sure of
it. He had regular whip, put
lots of stuff on the ball and acts
like veteran. He Just twisted
them all around those Bessemer
fellows, only FIVE whom connected
safely, and nine famed the breezes.
Hurley took the first two innings
to warm up and in the third opened
up on Hoeft's bill OF fare and
smashed it all to smithereens. Five
successive hits were gathered in
this inning, netting four runs. 1t

DUBLIN. Jan. s.--The success

ton Of the delay in issuing the state

Press Is Guessing"
Statements about the presidents
views attributed 10 him in the Irish
and English press are nothing more
than speculative guessing. said an
official statement from the Dali
Eireann.
Father O'Flanagan. who is now

stated on apparently Creditable au-
thoTity. He is empowered 10 insti-
tute negotiations If the British gov
ernments attitude is sufficiently con-
ciliatOry.
There appears to be no question
that the people will welcome peace
with it's attendant cessation Of re-
prisals and relief from terror, but
they are firmly backing the Sim
Fein. They are suffering directly
from the government and indirectly
from the Sim Fem, the principal
difference being that they regard
the soldiers and police as represent
ing the foreigner" while the Sim
Fein represents what its translation
states ourselves"
As the result OF a total Of a thous-

liveries when assured OF safety.
