An Interrupted Game.
The Junior baseball team of
Elko, with a number of their
friends, came to Perry Wednesday-
morning’of ,last week. The usual
.courtesies, were extended,- and the
Elko boys registered at the Perry
Hotel, guests of the Perry team.
• At tfleuusual hour in the .after
noon, the game was called, with
Dr. R. L. Cater as umpire'. It
soon became manifest that the
gamewould bea';veritable slugging
match. The score was large, and
though the game didn’t rank high
as to ball playing, there was a lot
of fun in it to the spectators.
All. this was turned to disap
pointment when- the game was
stopped by a controversy between
two of the players, and a blow.
It matters not here who was
to blame, the occurrence was due
only to those two boys, and very
much regretted by all.
We desire to say;here,‘ that it
were better that base ball had
never peen inaugurated, than a
fight should have grown out of a
game.
If baseball engenders unfriendly
rivalry and unpleasant disputes,
there should be no'more baseball.
It is presumed that these games
between local /teams propose to
promote pleasure and friendliness,
but if they do not, there should
be no more games.
If these games engender bicker
ing and strife rather than friend
ship, promote discordance rather
than good feeling between the
teams and sections represented,
it would be best that Inhere should
be no more baseball games.

Last Thursday evening, Mrs
Elizabeth Wellons 1 was very pain
fully ancl perhaps permanently in
jured by falling from a platform
at the residence of, Mr. J. R. Mil
ler. After supper, before retiring,
she went to poursome water into a
can on a platform connected with
the .back porch, about the wall
where by some means, not clearly
remembered by her, she fell,
distance of some six feet to the
ground. Mr. Miller heard the
fall, and search being made im
mediately, she was found in an
unconscious state. She was car
ried at once into the house, and
the doctor was immediately call
ed in. She has since been con
fined to her bed suffering much
pain,, but her physician hopes that
she will be able to walk again af
ter awhile. The injury is in the
right hip, the doctor being unable
to determine definitely whether or
not the capsule of that joint is
broken. On account of her great
age, 84 years old, it is wonderful
that she was not even hurt worse
than she is.

Rain for several days past has
interferred with the laying by of
cotton and much of it will be turn

live things in it. We are not dis

opinion that crops in this section
have been damaged by a supera
bundance of rain.

operated by individual farmers.
The aggregate will reach nearly a
million cans. -

The Byron base ball team went
over to Rutland last Friday and
defeated them by a score of 14. to
8.
Byron was first to the bat, and
started the run getting at “once,
making 4 runs off of Grace, their
star pitcher,’ the first inning. He
was replaced by Kilpatrick in the
second inning, who proved to be
some better, but he was not able
to hold down Byron’s heavy bat
ters to much advantage, as they
just kept the fireworks going until
they had piled up 14 runs. Rut
land did their best playing in the
seventh, when on account of the
ball getting wet so our pitcher
could not do much with it, they
scored 5 runs.
