the Nevada State Journal, Sunday
morning, and made the principal item

edly an excellent specimen of news
paper work. In fact we thought so
ourselves after a good. hard half day
had been put in gathering the facts
and writing it. And we appreciate
the unspoken compliment of the Reno
editor in featuring the story. but
would like the courtesy of credit !"
Otherwise the Reno Journal owes The
Silver State about $3.50 for the two
columns. II they pay II cents an inch,
as does their competitor, II neither
the credit nor the money. then tho
Journal must plead guilty to "swiping

port frequent complaints about Hin

when Brady went out to Red House.
He instituted a search of the prem
ises. found the still under the kitchen
floor. where the dirt had been dug out
and the board nailed down again. No
whisky was found. but keg which

name and whereabouts are known.
What the next step will be Is known

said that for the seventh time they

of the well between the 6S0-foot depth
and the 745-foot depth. which is being
repeatedly pushed in by heavy gas

be overcome in the near future ant
that the well may beput In shape to

BASEBALL GAME WAS
PRESENTED TO fLKO

The manner In which Winnemucca
tossed off baseball game to Elko,
IL to 3. last Sunday, might lead some
to believe that the men offering odds
OF 1la to / on Elko before the game
knew what they were doing. For
some unexplained reason the Winnie
mucca lineup and batting order was
changed around for the game in
manner that to some indicated the
local team would have no chance to
win
Goldie Vaughn was sent In to pitch
for Winnemucca during the first two
innings, Elko scoring four runs in the
first and five In the second. The
fourth Elko man to cross the plate in
the first inning was forced in when
the batter was struck by pitched
ball.
Banks Arant, Winnemucca's regu-
lar pitcher, who had been playing
center field, went into the pitchers
box In the third inning and thereafter
the much -touted Elkoites were held
to three runs. Aren't pitching the re-
mainder of the game. Had Arant
been sent in to pitch at the beginning
OF the game. and had the same lineup
been used that defeated Loveloek re-
Gently, a different result might have
been recorded.
"Stew" Erskine. former basketball
star Of this city. now employed by the
Southern Pacific at Hazen, came here
for the game and played shortstop for
Winnemucca. He was first up in the
eighth and caused some excitement
when he hit a clean three-bagger that
could have been stretched into home
run. had he extended himself in rum
ming between second and third. The
next three men up. however. were un-
able to connect and "Stew" died on
third.
Fifty El;so rocters who we're re-
ported to be coming here for the
game failed to materialize. but Elko
was largely" represented by the
presence of Harold Hale. editor of the
Independent.
Manning, pitching for Elko. is re-
ported to be former big league
twirler who made his principal record
pitching for Calgary. Canada. In four
previous games this year he is re-
ported TO have struck out forty men.
and 1t Is said he struck out fifteen
Winnemucca players Sunday. To an
observer behind the plate. however,
he places most reliance in fast,
straight ball, and IL he possesses any
thing else he did not see the necessity
for using 1t Sunday. At one time he
showed what appeared to be a pretty
good drop. He is southpaw and
considerably aged for a pitcher.
The box score for the game is not
available today. but the score by inn
ings follows:
Elko .............-..4 0 10 0 0 o 212
Winnemucca II 0 0 0 2 0 0 0 o 3
