Hurley Takes Two from IrOnwOOd.

The Hurley baseball team, champ
ions OF the range, continued its
winning streak by taking the two
games which rang down the base
ball curtain for the season for
Ironwood and probably for Hurley
Sundays game on the Hurley
diamond went to Hurley by the
score Of 5 to ) and Mondays game
at Ironwood saw Hurley on the
long end of II to 7 score at the
finish.
Hurley won both games hands
down, outplaying their opponents
III every department Of the game.
although Ironwood was in the
lead at one time in Sundays game
and also in Mondays.
Bowker was on the mound for
Hurley in Sundays game and
pitched his usual good ball, holding
Ironwood to six hits. For the
visitors Gustafson served 'em as
well as he knew how but not well
enough to cope with the Hurley
sluggers, who tapped the ball for
eight safe ones. The batting
honors went to Leo Hunt, Baer-
valid and Bowker, each Of whom
got two hits.
Five errors by the visitors help
ed to put ragged edge on the
contest and they were costly ones
too, coming at critical stages and
helped to boost Hurley's scores.
Up to the seventh Ironwood was
leading to /, but in this inning
Ironwood got stage fright and
bungled everything that came
along Together with the visit
ors' errors and two hits Hurley
got four men around.

Announcement of A. c.. Townley,
president of the National Nonparti-

consideration Of his "balance of pow

moved an issue that promised to
provoke considerable contention.
This proposed plan called for en-
dorsement of candidates deemed ia
vOrable to the leagues interests, re-
gardless of party affiliation, as a
gainst the prevailing system Of plac-
ing avowedly league candidates in
the field
Mr.. Townley contended his plan
would make the league and labor
vote "balance of power" as be-
tween Democratic and Republican
candidates, and enable the league
labor faction to exact assurances of
cooperation from candidates before
swinging league endorsement to
them.
In several meetings of laborites in
Minneapolis, this "balance Of power"
plan was condemned. 1t met de-
feat in majority of the Nonpartisan
