BAINVILLE Wins;
POPLAR COMING
DISASTROUS NINTH BREAKS
AGAINST US; BRANDON
INJURED

With a close, speedy game all
but in the bag Old Lady Luck ar
rived in the ninth inning at Balm
vile last Sunday and dished up a
couple of tough portions to the
Wolves. First playing-manager
| Brandon received an injury that
viii put him out of the game for
the rest of the season.
Next, with the score 3 to 2 for
the Wolves, Bainville at bat. two
out and on second and
third, an easy grounder was hit
to third. Pennington one of the
neatest surest bah players in the
league stopped to grab the ball
and toss 1t to first for the third
out and a won game. Just in front
Of his hands the ball hit a stone
or clod and took a nasty hop UP
over his head and rolled to safe
territory where nobody could
reach it until both had
scored. The Bainvillians had won
the argument 4 to 3.
At most it was just a tough
break and a ball game. But Bran
don's injury was something more
serious. A fractured shoulder
blade will put him out of the team
as a player but he says he will
stay with the boys in the capacity
of manager. oliver plays the first
bag in good style and puts pep
and spirit in the Wolves.
His injury at Bainville came af-
ter a long fly had been hit to right
field. Clayton, Bainville catcher.
was a runner on first. He thought
the ball would not be felded and
for second. Shenkenberg-
or fooled him, gathered in the fly
and whipped the ball to first. 1t
came straight to the bag but low.
Brandon got in position to pick ii
)ut of the dirt and it would have
)een a sure out. ClaytOn's only
for safety was to make
he baseman drop the ball and
With knees flying high he came
With a desperate dash. Brandon
not shift position and catch
he ball so stood his ground and
ook the gaff. The impact of the
rash knocked the ball from his
and and Clayton was safe. Shen-
finished the game at
.rst and Clark went in at right.

country people invited. Of course the favorite spot
is in the timber at the north end of the bridge.

U. {. DESIRES
TO END STRIFE
IN MANCHURIA

WASHINGTON, Oct. II. -CP-
The mightieSt forces Of peace will
be rallied by America II necessary
to end hcstilities in Manchuria.
Already il has urged vigorously
that the League Of Nations as
sert all pressure and authority
within its competence" toward halt
ing the outbreak between Japan
and China.
At the same time, however, it
stands ready to move momentarily
in an independent action to still
the forebodingS of war In the
troublesome sector where Chinese.
japanese and Russian interests so
often have clashed.
Chiefs Prepared
Once President Hoover and Secy.
StimSon are convinced definitely
that the step Is Necessary, they are
prepared 10 call IN the diSputants
to observe their treaty obligations.
They may invoke either the Kel-
logg-Briand pact outlawing war or
the nine-power Pacific treaty OF
1922. To both China and Japan
are signatory.
The nations are both committed,
also, through their League of Ma
tons covenant against aggression.
The state department assured
the League Of Nations Of its CO.
operation in the situation Friday
after Presiden. Hoover and his
cabinet had studied the question
at length.
Meanwhile, as word reached
Tokyo that the United States con-
templated more forceful interven-
ton in an effort TO mould world
public opinion against the Manchu-
rian hostilitieS, a foreign office
spokesman reiterated Japan abides
by the hands off" policy 1t enun-
ciated after the initial fighting last
month at Mukden.
Local Matter
He %contenoed again the affair was
a local mater for settlement be-
tween the snvolved nations. Japan
stood ready, ne said, to discuss
peace principles with China as
soon as assurances were given that
China is prepared TO assume a
police authority in the Manchurian
districts now occupied by Japan
csc troops.
China has declined to deal d.
rectly with Tokyo while Japan's
soldiers retain control in Manchu-
ria. 1t appealed to the League of
Nations, ~contsnding it had been
forcefully invaded.

When the field was placed under
an order fixing units of 20 acres each
per well some months ago. the at

Gov. Ross S. Sterling said he be-

recognized the folly Of sinking e
wells, thus causing the allowable III
wells already completed to be re-

production down.
If they keep on drilling, the pc,
well allowable will be scaled down
