and Stowell scored. Piddington and
Oyer then hit successfully and two
more runs came in. The above ac-
count gives some idea of the luck and
support Auel had In the ninth four
hits off Flint counted two more for
Platteville.
Lancaster was close to a score only
once but a double killing, Orion to
Millman to Piddington snuffed it out.
Orion, Millman and Pidington play
ed dandy game for Platteville. Irish,
playing his first game, turned in
swell catch on AueTs Texas Lacquer
to left. Armstrong pitched a heady
game. He apparently used little but
a change Of pace, slow to slower Ian
casters hitters were trying to hit 'em
out Of he park apparently but Army's
slow ball made monkeys of them when
they essayed to kill it. Auel and Flint
were the only ones to show anything
with the stick and their well-timed
swings produced three hits.
Auel famed nine, Flint one and
Armstrong eight.
PlatteVille made one score in the
first, two in the fifth, three in the 9Th
and two in the last IL hits and one
errors.
Lancaster had four hits and five err

| Tommy Auel was the whole show
/ Sunday as far as Lancaster was con-
cerned The tall pitcher from Bee
! town was accorded poor support and
/ had bunch of breaks against him,
/ but nevertheless kept at it and pitched
swell game. He retired in the 7th
to give the local management chance
! to look over q relief pitching prospect
/ in the person Of one Flint from Beloit,
/ who in addition to being a sOuthpaW
can play in the Outfield and looks to
! be hitter Only three real hits were
garnered off Tommy's delivery in the
| sevens innings and none of these
would have produced hits without the
aid of a bunch of bad base ball and
! five lucky scratches which even fair
| fielding would have prevented A
! pitcher who can turn in game like
AueIs Sunday game in the face of so
much bum baseball as was displayed
! by the locals is good enough for any
team and every one of the 700 fans
who watched the game are ready to
say that Auel is just that sort of a
! pitcher.
| The game illustrated the fact that
! it takes more than good pitching to
| ed with only four hits, one by Auel,
| two by Flint and one by Kitelinger
| This total was hardly enough to win
on but five or six hits which went for
hits only because of poor baseball and
| five bad errors by the locals would
have offset a great many more hits.
The local errors were disastrous in
that they came with men on bases
and cost runs. In some instances
they were worse than disastrous be-
cause they showed decidedly bad
baseball. F. Porter's muff of a fly
from Kindschi's bat in the fifth cost
us two runs. Edwards throw to no
one in particular in the sixth cost
another. All in all, Auel got as bad
support as a pitcher could get.
Platteville scored in the first when
Millman walked and scored when F.
misjudged Kindschi's fly to center
and allowed it to fall safe for a
double. In the fifth two more were
counted. Y. Armstrong was credited
with hit which passed over first not
over fifteen feet from the sack. Adj
rian should have fielded it easily but
left it to Horton Oyer then put one
through Horizons position when Hor-
ton was over at second where Ober-
shaw should have been doing the work
With two on and two down Kindschi
again flied to center. F. Porter looked
to be set for the catch but dropped the
ball and Oyer and Armstrong scored.
In the sixth a combination of errors
and luck counted three more Ed.
Porter's wild heave to first gave Sto-
we'll life Irish scratched hit back
of first which Adrian could have hand
led easily had he been playing in his
position. Irish took second and third
when he should have been out easily

at the Herald office Monday saying he
had lost his spectacles and asking if
Herald ad would find them. He was
advised that the usual formula was to
advertise the glasses and then find
them where he had lost them-in the
back yard probably. At six o'clock
Mr. Keene phoned stating that the
formula had worked perfectly and
that the lost was found. Herald ads

women HEAR THEIR
LEGAL STATUS EXPLAINED
Mason County League Of Women VOt.
ers Held Instructive Meeting at the
Court House Monday afternoon.

The full attendance at the first Of
a series of meetings held at the court
house Monday under the auspices of
the Mason County League of Women
Voters was a very active dcmonstra-
tion of woman's awakened interest in
knowing the security of her place in
affairs. Prior to this awakening Ken
tucky women had accepted and enjoy
ed great pride in the chivalrous pro-
lection of man and while her knowl-
edge brings to her no disillusionment
of such type yet she finds solace in
the safe guarding influence of the law.
Hon. Stanley F. Reed lost nothing
to this type of men, when he so ably
and comprehensively interpreted to
those present woman's legal status.
1t was very gratifying to have 26
names pledged as members on the
cards that were passed through the
audience. If there were cards signed
and not collected bring them to the
next meeting or else sign new cards
that will be provided.
The collection taken after many OF
the crowd had left, was so generous
that it will not be necessary to ask
for donations at the next meeting, sc
come knowing each attendance and
signature for membership will be 6
valuable contribution.

TWO new Steel
Boats EOR THE OHIO
Proposed New Boats For Cincinnati.
Louisville Trade To Break
Speed Record.

Two steel-hull steamers, each ap-
proximately 300 feet long, will be con-
structed by the Louisville & Cincin-
natl Packet Company, 1t was learned
yesterday.
Besides being the most modern
boats now planned for the Ohio River,
the steamers will have special equip
ment for passengers and freight. The
cabins will be comparable to those
used on the steamers on the Great
Lakes, 1t was said, and efforts will be
made to provide restaurant facilities
that will vie with the meals set on the
"old-time" steamboats,.
Both Of the steamers will be side
wheel boats, with the most modern
type Of engines. Their estimated speed
will be eighteen miles an hour up
stream, which is faster than any boats
ever planned for the Ohio River trade.
The hulls will be bulkheaded and the
boats will be Of the nonsinkable type.
1t is believed that work on the boats
will be begun in the early spring and
probably will be constructed at the
Howard Ship Yards, Jeffersonville.
Full details concerning the construc-
ton, however. have not been worked
out officials said.

Covington, KY, Dec. 10. - In spite

Farmers who had thrown their to-

day at 60 cents a pound.
Growers had contended tha. at least
80 per cent. Of their number had

to see the sales open with only a few
thousand pounds of tobacco on the
floor selling at very low prices, but
this was not to be. The cheapest

pound, Monday brought five and six
cents a pound. and the buying was
spirited.
The general average OF Monday
