pitcher but the hard hitters on the local team gave him his worst defeat man on the Correctionville team plicated the batting against Quimby Lloyd Peck the local high school phenom took Manager Walsh's first dollar offer for a home run and the ball over the left field fence and scored behind Davis In the seventh inning with Walsh and Thorn on bases Freeman hit one into the corn field for a homer scoring four runs Petty hit one to the left field fence that was good for three but on account of his sore ankle could only make two stations Thorn Bros Walsh and Davis hit the pill and four or five were hit by Smith's fast snoots For Bronson car Heggblade of Lawton was a star player In the first frame when the locals made three of their five errors Oscar hit the ball on his turab but it went over the fence for three runs Batteries Smith and Freeman and Struct man by Smith 6 Side Winders Jim Cockbarn is the team's dian Winning the first two straight is not bad for a starter Boost for the ball team One of she finest looking ball teams in northwest Iowa and one a clean manly player One fart was in the the and balloon with Prof Shields until the wind got too strong Petty who played ball when some of his mates first kicked the end out of the cradle is as as ever He hits the ball hard runs like a race horse and spends his spare time coaching the younger players Frank J Clarke relieved Petty when Ed received an injury to his ankle at second Frank did not get a chance but he hit the ball hard Frank does his share to instill pep into bis Waddy Davis the popular captain gave his mates the signals Saturday with the warning that the first player would be benched that balled up It was a pretty sight to see the play their first whole game vithout a bonehead and only make hree errors Lee Walsh is the plucky center fielder His fast peg from any part f the field makes him valuable His eft handed swing is also dangerous Smith realizes this point Ray Thorn received a fast ball in lie right arm at the plate Saturday The injury has bothered him but lunday we noticed it didn't bother him from making some pretty hits Jim Cockburn the outfield like a leaguer He simply plucks the ball from the ozone and at bat fairly knocks the alfalfa out of the ball The umpires at Bronson were uson Their work faultless and no kicking was nh protector be- hind ine bat had and thu Blat k DAYTIME FIRE TAKES BRICKYARD PLANT Friday afternoon at the plant of the Cherry Red Pressed Co which is the property of the Clay Co of Sioux City was ly destroyed by fire with the exception of the brick kilns entailing an mated of and according to local men was uninsured The fire was discovered by Leonidas Cook who had just backed his auto- mobile into the southeast end of the drying shed which he used as a age The reporter O M Olson and George Green were about the first on the scene and discovered a small pile of hay against the west side of the big drying shed A pail of water would liave squelched the blaze but no wa- ter was near The flame crept ily up to the roof and before the men could procure spades from the I C section house to fight the fire with dirt the roof caught afire and all the woodwork of the plant in thirty minutes burned like tinder It was beyond the control of water and the work of the firemen was futile Burn ng embers lit upon the I C stock yards and ignited Milton Beckwith extinguished the fire there with bucket of water The plant continued to burn throughout the night and the sky reddened for miles with the reflection The Cherry Red Pressed Brick yard was constructed in the year 1902 because it was a decided fact that one of the richest deposits of brick clay in the state is located here near the Little Sioux The project was moted by G A Bailey E C Bailey Matt Markusen and Charles ridge A thriving business was built up and it soon began to tell on Sioux ity institutions For some reason the plant shut down four years ago and three years ago the Clay Products Co of Sioux City purchased the plant and shut it down forever The Clay Products Co have stated several times that the plant would soon be as soon as they got around But their progress as like and a junk pile marks where thriving institution might have VOL 33 NO 2 1914 CHAUTAUQUA TO BE BEST BOOST FOR BIGGEST EVER HELD At a meeting week of the talent committee the Wick System was
