SEWARD BUNCH j
DEFEAT ARMY
The town nine won the baseball
game from the Soldiers yesterday
afternoon by the score of 7 to o but it
was not until the Soldiers had been re
tired in the first half of the ninth that
the game had been cinched. The town
nine won the game by hard work for
practically all players seem hard on
their feet the only limbering up they
had being in the practice before the
game was called. The soldiers played
hard but they also showed that the
diamond had not been used to any
great extent, but the game was only
played for the pleasure of the day so
what is the use going into errors, ect. ?
Brash ear pitched the full eight in
nings for the soldiers with grab’em j
Looney behind the bat. The other
players were Hannon, Young, Bedford
Houston, Hooney, Norris, of the com
mission and Doc Gix>sse of the Expl
orer. “Doc” showed that he was some
B. B. player himself. He went in to
hill up the nine. The Soldiers made
two runs in the first; two runs in the
third and one in the eight frame.
Those who crossed the plate were
Hannon, Looney, Young, Grosse and
Bedford.
Lucas pitched four innings for the
Seward players with faithful Hag
strom behind the bat. Lien went into
the box in the fifth inning for the re- i
mainder of the game, Lucas taking
second bag. Like the Soldiers, the
Seward nine was one man short anti
Broughton, of the Explorer pulled off
the blouse of his “gob” uniform and
went in to the field. While he has be
en on the water for several months,
his diamond legs came back to him and
he made good accepting all chances.
The other players on the home team
were Shellhorn, Reed, Adams Mathison
and Painter. The home bunch made
two runs in the second; two in the six
th and three in the seventh.
Keller, from out the line, a well i
I
known player, and Woolley were the
umpires, one on balls and strikes, and
t lie other on bases.
It is estimated that over 500 witness I
ed the game.

and chewing gum man and sold out.

MARATHON RACE!
IS A GOOD ONE
0m
Seward's annual marathon race, one
oi the most original events perhaps
pulled oil anywhere in the world,
started at the crack of the pistol
snarp at six o’clock last evening
t’lom the Hank of Seward corner.
1 here were three entries, Joe Karaotf,
mil Holt and oung Mausen. kaiaoii
won ii:st money lus time being 56:50.
Rolf was second man in, his time be
ing oU minute*, .uadsen did not reach
the top out stopped, claiming that ow
ing to a bite oi a dog yesterday morn
ing.. pains in lus light leg prevented
nom continuing the race. The dog
look a nip at Madsen’s leg yesterday
mo mug when he made the race up the
marathon mountain and back in record
time. One watch gave his morning
try-out at 52 and another watch at 54
minutes.
In the race last night KofT the sec
ond man to cross the tape, was the
first to go around Mike Johnson, pivot
man. ivoil reached turned the pivot at
6:11. Karaoff rounded the pivot four
minutes alter but gained his lost time
and out distanced his competitor by a
minute and a half on the race down
the mountain.
Doth of the men who made the race
are Russians and have been working
in the yards for the commission. They
are both a bunch of muscle and were
in excellent condition.
Last year the race was won by Tom
Hardoff his time being 57:31). ,
During the race several hundred
watched the men going up and coming
down, but owing to the sun only those
with exceptional eye sight or with
glasses could follow the race from the
timber line to the top and back to the
t’mber. Several hundred dollars chang
ed hands over the result of the race,
many playing across the board.
ESTES WINDOW
AT B.&H. GETS
THE BIG PRIZE
The window designed by C. A. Estes
manager of the clothing Department
of Brown & Hawkins, won the prize
for being the most original and most
patriotic .The prize money will be
given out today.
Last night, two known citizens were
selected to make the award for the
best decorated window in Seward, part
of the celebratin of the Fourth. The
committee decided that the Seward
Commercial company had a well dec
orated window, but commercialism
played too prominent A par^.
The windows of Ellsworths, Phelps,
Northern, Urbach's, Hettels, Seward
Drug Co., Borgens, Sexton & Thwaites
Brown & Hawkins and others were
carefully inspected and then the decis
ion went to B. & H. Mr. Estes, the de
corator had a window devoid of every
thing but patriotism. The window re
presented the office of Uncle Sam. On
the office desk was a noe on a spindle
hich said: “Gone over to get the Kais
er.” Uncle Sam’s uniform was thrown
over the office chair showing that he
had on his work clothes and was out
for the big work A globe of the
world was in the center of this pat
riotic picture . and on the floor
of the office, the letters being made of
cartridges, was the sentence “To
make the world a decent place to live
in.”
The general committee desires to
[thank all merchants who decorated and
who showed the true spirit of the day.
