' The game was staged last Sunday afternoon and after battling nine long, strongly fought Innings, the game ended with Elsinore with eight scores, while the homers were a close second having rambled six runs across the plate. Some classy exhibition plays were staged several times during the contest. Batteries for both sides wert, in the collar and out to win. Three times the score was tied and this situation brought the fans for their respective sides to their feet and grandstand and bleacher coaching reached a high pitch several times. It was a most fierce and proved breathlessly struggle The visitors, thrilling at times. however, proved the stronger and won a mighty fine game. Several star lays and clever pitching, fielding and base running gave the fans full value. The two teams ape staging a three game series. By winning Sunday makes a game each, and next Sunday, at Elsinore, the final gaime will be played. Lovers of baseball and those who would see a close contest, should not fail to see this exhibition. Both teams are lining up the best placers for the game. An automobile accident, in which three cars were involved and in which three persons barely escaped death, happened last Sunday evening between Salina and Redmond. That the three victims whose car overturned escaped death only by a miracle. The driver of the large car, whose name and number of the car was not learned, and after knowing an accident had happened, drove away and offered no assistance to those who were in danger just another act of inhumanity by a demented driver. Manuel Aceves and his two small sons were in the car that was brushed off the road by the big touring machine. Scratches and a bad fright was the extent of the injuries received. According to reports, Mr. Aceves was headed for Redmond and at the place where the accident occured another car was met. Aceves, who was driving a Ford, made the proper turn to give way for the oncoming car. Just at this point the big car, which was also headed north and going at a high rate of speed, attempted to steer his ear between the other two autos. In doing so he struck the Aceves cur violently, throwing it entirely from the road. The Ford landed on the fence and hung there. Only for the fact that the fence held the car from going farther the occupants would have svcly sustained fatal injuries.
