PLENTYWOOD WINS
IN 9Th INNING RALLY
Local Poys Gene From Behind and
Win from GrenOra, After Batting
Rally in Eighth4GrenOra Plays
Good Game Until Pitcher Weakens.

Sundays game with the Grenora
ball tossers ended with a spectacular
finish and the local boys after battl-
ing with a heavy score against them
eff 8 to 2 at the end of the 7th inning,
won from the North Dakota boys by
a score of 9 to 8.
The aggregation from Grenora ap-
parently had the game sewed up in a
sack up to the eighth inning due to
weak pitching by Willifred, coupled
with ragged fielding, but the Plenty
wood sluggers displayed their cid
fighting tactics which has won them
so many games in the past in the
eighth inning and when the smoke
cleared away the score stood 9 to s
with the local team on the long end
of the tally.
The Grenora pitched hurled a
steady game Up to the fatal eighth
and was mixing them up in a style
that had the local sluggers swinging
like a trip hammer. In the meantime
Willifred was being touched up regu-
larly, at one time allowing three hits
in succession and apparently being
unable to lay the ball down in the
manner In which he wished.
Several errors were made during
the game by Plentywood ball tossers
and had the effect of causing a reor-
ganization of the local club, in which
Willifred and the short stoI
were released and a complete reor
ganization was effected.
The ball games from now on will
be of a superior class and the boys
are getting into the harness like vet.
Grams and the Scobey game is the frs
indication of the comeback of the
ball tossers of this city and that from
now on the fans are going to Sc,
some real games if the PlentywooC
team is defeated by Scobey or any
other team.

MEDICINE LAKE
QUITS IN THE 9TH

a
Makes Decision Which Medicine
Lake Players Consider Unfair
Score 9 to In Favor of Plenty
wood.
True to expectations, the Medicine
Lake baseball team came up to Plen-
tywoOd last Saturday (Memorial day.
with a strengthened lineup and play
ed fast and consistent ball until they
blew up in the eighth and refused to
play further, because of a close deci-
sion made at first base in which a
PlentywoOd player was called safe
when they considered he should have
been called out.
The play was from short to first
and in reaching for a wide throw the
jumps distinguished his foot off the
plate at the time the runner reached
the sack At the time of the play
Medicine Lake was leading 6 to 5 and
the man being called safe on first
meant two more scores which came
in on the play.
AS a matter of fact irregardless of
the decision, the Medicine Lake team
should have continued the game. An
umpire is a Necessary part of baseball
and his decisions have to be cbeyed
otherwise there could be no game ano
while Medicine Lake might have felt
that they were getting an unfair de-
cisiOn, very few games are ever play
ed where both teams are satisfied
with every decision of the umpire
+ The same umpire that gave the de-
cision for Plentywood on the particu
lar play in which Medicine Lake quit

Slowly but surely the Plentywood
boys are rounding into shape and but
for one bad inning last Wednesday
afternoon would have cleaned up on
the famous league pitcher and his
eight assistants.
The new Plentywocd pitcher hurled
a fine game and with tighter support
will get Scobey's many just as sure
as it rained inches of water last
Monday
After a general overhauling of the
local boys and a few changes a diff
ferent spirit is being shown and the
old 'pep" is beginning to show itself.
Risberg as usual pitched a fine
game and a large crowd was oct to
see him perform. It is not often that
the fans in this neck of the woods
have an opportunity to see a big
Lacquer in action and because of the
unfortunate happening in the big
league a couple of years ago the peo-
pie here are enabled to see a man in
action who was at one time one of
the stars in the American League.
To see Risberg in action is worth the
price of admission alone, although he
is due to lose to Plentywood in the
near future because. of the one man
team at Scobey.
Following is the game as played

STATE CRIME
COST is OVER
TEN MILLIONS
Seven Percent of Taxes
To Curb Law Breaking.

MADISON-The cost of crime in
Wisconsin is $1O,5O0,000 a year
S1,OO0,000 more than the annual cost
OF running the general government of
the state.
The high price of crime has been
calculated by Katherine Keene, a Uni
versity of Wisconsin student. under
the direction of Prof. J. l.. Gillin. So
biologist.
The figures represent merely the
compensation of officers of justice and
the cost of conducting the state insti-
tutlons connected with the prevention
and punishment of crime, as shown in
the tax reports. No effort was made
to compute the loss of time resultine
from the confinement of wage earners
or the destruction of property which
was due to crime.
The sum of $10,500,000 is equiva-
lent to nearly seven cents of every
dollar paid for taxes in the state. For
that sum Wisconsin could build new
state capitol building every year
which would be one and one-half
times as costly as the present magni-
f1cent building. With such a sum the
state could pay one-fifth of it's annu-
al education bill, including the cost
of conducting the state university.
recommendation based on the
study of the cost of crime in Wis
consin are that the taxpayers take
more interest in police systems. in
the conditions which make for crime
and in the methods of punishment
and prevention of crime. In only
these factors may effective remedies
be found, the report declares.

PORTAGE FOR
FOX RIVER
GULF ROUTE
Claims Advantage Over the
Illinois Scheme.

ORTAGE-Whether Wisconsin will
play an important part in the Great
Lakes to the Gulf waterway depends
on what action is taken by the gov
eminent on an adverse report by Maj.
Gilbert Van B. Wilkes, federal engi-
neer for the district of Milwaukee,
based on a new survey of conditions
along the Fox river and the Portage
canal connecting the Fox and the
Wisconsin rivers.
The report contained recommends
lions against the advisability of in
creasing the flow of water through the
canal, long an abandoned connecting
link for ship traffic between the two
rivers, because of a cost exceeding
60,000,000.
Portage citizens who have hoped for
renewed government interest in the
canal noted the agitation in Illinois to
route a waterway through the Chi
cago drainage canal and the Illinois
river and advanced their own claims
of adaptibility and advantages of the
Wisconsin route from the waters of
! Green bay, through the Fox river, the
Portage canal, the Wisconsin river, the
Mississippi, and to the gulf.
Weeds, filth, mud, and silt now fill
the Portage canal and the docking
which holds the two or three feet of
flow is crumbling away. If restored,
this short connecting link, two miles
in length, seventy-five feet in width,
and with the original channel depth OF
five feet, would provide an ample me-
dunn for small craft travel from Lake
Michigan to the gulf, provided other
work of dredging the upper Fox and
the lower Wisconsin rivers were un-
dertaken by the government, inter-
ested persons claim.
The Wisconsin route contains locks
as large as those at Lockport, Ill. Be
tween Portage and De Pere there are
81 locks The water route from Por-
tage to Oshkosh, the outlet point into
Green Bay, is 107 miles. The state
once spent 100000 toward making
the route a waterways for boat traf-
fic from Green Bay to the Wisconsin
river, before the project was finally
abandoned.
Two Miles of Canal
The Illinois route contains a canal
twenty-six miles in length, whereas
Cno WlSCOnSH CdldI 10 1893 Ihou 2"
miles The greatest problem would be
the dredging of the Wisconsin river
and it's attendant difficulties in the
narrows of the Wisconsin Dells re-
gion.
| While the Illinois route probably
| would take water in enormous guam
titles from Lake Michigan, the Wiscon-
sin route would be the means of in
creasing the volume of water in Lake
| Michigan for the reason that the canal
once deepened, would increase the
| flow of waters in the Fox river which
| empties into Lake Michigan.

J. A. Mccoy Takes Over
Some Fast Race Horses

Jack Murphy 2:15A, closed their part
nership last Saturday, Mr.. Mccoy be-
coming owner of both horses.
"Jack Murphy" was an exceptional
ly fast PAGER when he left here last
year, having worked what was by far
the fastest mile ever worked over the
Lancaster track. He got hurt before
his first start at Boscobel, but went
very creditable race there and was
started at Richland Center; after hav-
ing stepped the first mile in 2:13 with
a half in 1908 he was drawn and re-
tired for the season.
Bling Tell worked the local track
three or four seconds faster than any
trotter ever trained or raced over the
track He was timed separately in a
race at Platteville in 2:13; made
TOP O. the Morning" step mile in
2:11 and beat her to the half in LOS
at Oshkosh. He was second in 2:14
in his last race of the season at vi
roqua Started in IA races and was
out of the money twice and won
$126100 Many think him the best

MERRY TIMES At
CLOSE OF SCHOOL

The schools closed Friday for the
Christmas vacation, the teachers leav-
ing Friday evening and Saturday for
their respective homes to enjoy the
holidays. Appropriate exercises were
held in the grades of the public and
parochial schools Friday morning and
afternoon with playlets, recitations,
ETC., suitable to the occasion. Gifts
were handed out in profusion. In the
afternoon the pupils of the high school
received a visit from Santa, each boy
and girl and each member of the fac
ulty receiving presents. Dickey orion
acted as Santa Claus in approved style
and his prize packages aroused much
raillery and fun, even the staid teach
ers receiving ridiculous gifts. The
boys and girls have nothing to do in
the way of study for couple of weeks
but the town will be full of life never
theless..
