A second victory came to the Mceker
team Tuesday. Glenwood came over
for the celebration with Glenwood
and New Castle bunch to scalp Meeker
for second time. But they didn't get
much scalp-not even the hair.
The game started of with Toles
and Sisemore as Meeker's battery. The
first few ,Glenwood men hit and 1t
looked bad for start but Toies tigh-
tened and retired the side with only
one score. Meeker took the club and
topped Glenwood by polling two runs.
From here on until the ninth Meeker
scored five runs while Glenwood
x.oretl three. In the ninth the first
Glcnwood man up hit for single
but the next man hit square to short
nnd Meeker made double making
two downs with no men on. But the
third man to hat hit fast one which
bounced over seconds head and
through q double error made home
run. The next two men got on which
made 1t look serious but 1'oles kept
cool and pitched himself out Of the
hole and won the game 5 to 4.
The local boys arc playing good

Sunday and Tuesday showed them

the thousands of famine dead froze

taken to shallow graves and handled

from typhus which is spread by par

almost harmless.
The spring sun, however, will change
all this. Both the Bolshevik govern

who are active in the famine regions
realize the danger that warm weather
will bring. They are taking all the
steps that their limited facilities ac-
