eral Point with a bunch OF pepper
and looked like a different bunch Sat
urday. Just where the boys got the
ginger we don't know but it certainly
was in evidence and helped a lot.
There has been for some time de-
cided lack OF pep in the team but it
looked Saturday as tho there would
be a plenty from now on.
Slapnicker sent HCllenbeck, ex-
Three l Lacquer, to the mound Satur-
day and the Dodgers again showed
their liking for sOuthpaW pitching.
Delaney worked the game for Lam
caster and was lot better than the
score indicates. He had bad fifth
inning when the visitors scored all
their runs but would have come
through without a score if Murphy
had been alive on Bells play on Slap
nicka at third.
Oelwein threatened in only the one
inning, the fifth. Minardo opened
that inning with a drive to Elliott and
was safe when the throw pulled
Schultz off the bag. Slapnicka walked
and Powell singled MinardO scoring
and Slap taking third and Powell
second. Delaney famed Nigbauer
and Van Roo threw Mercer out. De-
laney passed Wagner purposely. Otis
and Bell caught Slap off third, Bell
making a wonderful catch when Slap
tried to block the play, but Murphy
was looking out Of the window at
something else and missed the play
entirely. Bell had to reach around
Slap to make the catch and had him
SO we'll blocked that he never had a
chance to get back. Murphy's snOoze
cost three runs when Mathews tripled
to right and cleared the bases.
Mathews died at third when Van Roo
disposed Of Mcdonald.
Bell worked a free ticket out of
Hollenbeck to start the first. On an
attempted sacrifice Van Roo scratched
a hit past Hollenbeck and advanced
Bell. Schacht beat out another hit
when he also attempted to sacrifice
and Bell scored when Schultz hit to
Mcdonald, ICY" being safe on the
fielder's choice.
Driggett tripled to open the second.
Mathews threw Otis out at first. De-
laney walked and went to second on
the next pitch. Mcdonald threw Bell
out but Van Roo doubled scoring
Driggett and Delaney.
Driggett led off with a single in the
fourth. Otis advanced him with a
sacrifice and Steve scored from sec
0nd on Bells single
With one down in the sixth Delaney
doubled and scored on Van Roofs
triple to center Van could have
scored when the throw in got away
from Mathews but a misunderstand-
ing in coaching held him at third.
1t looked a bit bad in Oelwein's hall
OF the ninth when MinardO singled but
a snappy double play, Delaney to
Elliott to Schultz, disposed of Minardo
and Slapnicka. Powell singled and
Delaney's throw to catch him at first
got away from Schultz but nothing
came to it when Bell disposed of Mig
bauer on a nice play to first.
"Rowdy" Elliott worked at short
and Driggett in right. Elliott put a
lot of life into the infeld and Orig
gett showed real ability in the out
field The change may have been a
help to Steve's batting eye, his triple
and two singles being big factors in
the game. Van Roo also had a big
day with single, double and triple

The North WeHe1w
CONFIDENCE IN AMERICA

Confidence of men in American
institutions has brought prosperity
to the American people.
L he greatest institution of this
country is it's transportation
system. The very life of this nation
depends on the efficiency of it's
railroads.
/ he Chicago and North Western
Railway Company is proud of the
fact that the efficiency and loyalty
of it's employees has enabled the
North Western to satisfactorily
discharge it's transportation
obligations to the public.
Any disturbance to the discharge
of the North Westerns duty to the
public would seriously retard the
recovery of business from it's long
period of depression.
| he Chicago and North Western
Railway Company recognized the
necessity Of adjusting the
disturbed conditions under which
we are living. It voluntarily made
many reductions in freight rates
and accepted the reductions
ordered by the Interstate Com
merce Commission.
| he North Western also accepted
without question-the increase
of wages ordered by the Railroad
Labor Board.
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1922-06-28

w e believe that North Western
employees should show the same
willingness as the Company to
abide by the orders of the Railroad
Labor Board.
his adjustment is fair. After the
reduction ordered by the Labor
Board, North Western employees
will be paid a higher scale than
labor in other industries.
he reductions in rates of grain,
hay and other commodities that
were made effective January l,
1922, together with the reductions
effective July 1, 1922, reduces our
income-based on our 1921 bust
ness-by $13,900,OOO.
he reduction in wages ordered by
the Railroad Labor Board effective
July 1, 1922, reduces our expenses
based on 1921 payrolls 49, by
$4,100,000.
a strike by North Western en-
ployes against the decision of the
Railroad Labor Board will not only
destroy at once the confidence
which the years have given the
North Western in it's employees, but
it will be a strike against this
country's progress toward pros
perity.
We believe that North Western
employees will continue their faith
in American institutions and let
right and wisdom govern their
actions.

DODGERS BACK IN WIN
MING TAKE THREE
GAMES IN ROW
CONTINUED From Page One)

ICY" Schultz was the big noise in
the fifth. With Elliott on first the
big first sacker took a liking to one
OF Layman's fast ones and drove it
into the track back of right field,
driving Elliott in ahead. These two
runs were enough to win but two
more were added for good measure
One came in when Driggett doubled
and scored en- a single by Dodge but
just how or when the last was pro
duced no one seems to know, but it
came some time, somehow on hits,
and that's the main point
AS stated above, we cannot give a
box score on this game, much to our
regret and you'll have to guess the
details as we have done.
