The Maroons took the third straight game from the Weir Browns at Sportsman's park, this city, Sunday by a score of 6 to 1, in a very remarkably played game of ball, the chief feature of which was a triple play by Speck and Riddle. With first and second bases covered and no one out Speck reached up in the clouds and gathered in a warm one from the bat and planting his trilby on the bag, put out the runner on second and then threw the ball to Riddle who fixed the runner on first the same way, and the Browns were retired all in much less time than it takes to tell it. Pettigrew pitched for the Maroons and while he was off a little from his usual fine form, he played a remarkable game nevertheless and gave the visitors only four hits, none of which cut any considerable amount of congealed moisture in the windup.

-In addition to almost shutting the Browns Pettigrew made a three bagger first time at the bat and a single later. Baxter a three ger and two singles; Holmes a double and two singles; Sharp two singles, Hiller one and Finney one. Baker pitched for Weir and gave eight men bases on balls and struck out three. Finney, Hamilton, Lindley and Lofton did the hits for Weir, each scoring one hit, the first named making a two bagger. The Maroons made four errors and Weir five.

has beaten everything so far. this season, and they come here intending to maintain their record. The chances are therefore that the best game of the season will be played at the park tomorrow. On the 29th the Topeka Missouri Valley League team will play here. This will be a week day game and will be a drawing card as the Topeka club is playing good ball.

Speaking about umpires, S. E. Collins has performed that operation several times here and always with the best of satisfaction, and the first kick is yet to be made his work. Pittsburg's league team don't seem to be itching very, much to play ball with Scammon. Leastwise the conditions asksd in a proposed game here on the 30th are such that no one could be expected to accept them.

Writing to Manager Holmes this week on the matter of a game between the olubs Gus Baldwin, manager of the Pittsburg team, said that Scammon must bear the expenses of the visitors from the time they left their home town until they returned; that in addition they would have to have $25 cash whether a game was played or no and that the Pittsburg club would bring along its official umpire. In addition the Maroons should not, in the meantime, play ball with Weir City because the club of that town had been guilty trying to secure some of the Pi. burg players. Nothing nervy about that proposition; its just To morrow. SUNDAY GRANBY, VS.

The Maroons, at Sportsmans PARK, Scammon. You Should be There. gall. There are too many good clubs -league clubs- -that are anxious to come to Scammon and play on the usual terms to fool away on a gang of tail tenders like Pittsburg. The Maroons' date to play with Weir on the 17th still stands.

The flood of letters Manager Holmes is receiving from the very best ball clubs iu Kansas, Missouri and the Indian Territory, asking for dates to play with the Maroons is the best of testimony of the wide popularity of Scammon's ball team. Dates could be made for every day in the week and not play the same club twice, if all were accepted. Scammon not only has the pick of the clubs, but names the day. There is something in having a good ball team concealed about your home town. Base ball ethics is a peculiar As a condition precedent to playing ball with the Pittsburg league the Maroons must not play with the Weir City Browns for the reason the latter club had been guilty of the heinous offence of trying to induce some of the Pittsburg players to join the Browns.

The same mail that Brought this proposition also car- tried a letter from the Pittsburg team's manager to a member of the Maroons asking him to join the Pittsburg club. Columbus has organized a good ball team and will play the first games with the Maroons here on the 3rd and 4th of July. Childrens Day Exercises. Childrens day will be observed at the M. E.

That fortyone men bad worked two days each and six teams one day each for for the month. Also that he had repaired several culverts and built two new ones on hill between 5th and 6th streets. The placing of the drain tiling, or of which has been ordered, is a feature that the street and alley mittee will be required to deal with in a way to faciliate the rapid transit of the contens of a lot of mud holes that adorn the landscape.

The improvement of the business portion of the city's streets and walks took definite shape and tone in the adoption of a resolution to curb and gutter Main and Third streets for two blocks each way, beginning at Second and Main and extending north to the Union hall building and then at railroad and Third and going east to the Mackie-McDonald Lumber Co. It is required that the curbing and guttering be of granitoid. A surveyor will be employed to establish a grade and the work will then proceed as fast 98 men can be employed to attend to it. It is estimated the cost of guttering and curbing will be about 75c a run ning foot. A survey was also ordered for a lot of brick side walk to be laid in the Third ward.
