BREAK EVEN.

Le Mars and Sioux City Each Win a Game
Eastman Does Good work In the Box.

The game Tuesday afternoon was one of the best yet seen on the home ground.
It was full of ginger from start to finish. Eastman pitched a superb game,
proving a puzzle to Sioux City's hard hitters, fanning out the best of them
on several occasions. His support was excellent only one error being made
and that was an excusable one, being a red hot grounder to short, but it did
not cost anything.

Eastman struck out ten men and only four hits were made off him. The home
contingent touched Tredway for five and he gave five passes. Le Mars got a
lead in their first inning after Breyette went out from Durkee to Freeman on
a hot grounder. Hatter beat bunt to first; O'Neil swatted one to Black in
left which the latter dropped. Alberts got to first on Baxter's error.
Lang struck out and Shannon, the new first baseman, hit a beauty past third,
bringing in Hatter and O'Neil. Le Mars scored another in the seventh, when
Lister hit safe. Eastman sacrificed. Breyette went on to first on a bunt
and Hatter brought Lister home.

“Deacon" Lohr saved Sioux City from a shutout in the seventh when he hit to
deep center for two sacks. Baxter hit safe, scoring Lohr.

Sioux City looked dangerous in the eighth after Treadway flew out to
Breyette. Jamieson hit for two sacks. Durkee to short and Jamieson was
caught out at second. Lohr and Baxter got passes, putting Durkee on third.
Black came to bat and after two strikes and three balls were called hit a
dinky one to the pitcher, who threw to first, retiring the side.

In the ninth Messerly came to bat in place of '"Bricktop" Freeman, who had
fanned three times. He did no better and made three swipes at the air.
Moriarity flew out to Lang at left and Bruggeman hit a hot one to Lister at
third, which was brilliantly stopped and sent slinging to first ending the
game. The score:
R. H. E
Sioux City 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 —1 4 3
Le Mars 2 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0—3 5 1
Batteries—Treadway and Jamieson. Eastman and O'Neil Struck out—By Treadway,
4; by Eastman. 10. Bases on balls—by Treadway 5; by Eastman, 2. Stolen
bases—Hatter, Black, Lang. Two-base hits—Shanon, Lohr, Jamieson. Sacrifice
hit—Eastman. Umpire—Flynn.

DEATH OF JOSEPHINE LONG

Miss Josephine Long died at the home of A. C. Colledge on Friday morning.
Miss Long with her sister and brother have been residing in the Colledge
house this summer. Her death was due to neurasthenia. She was taken sick on
Tuesday and lay unconscious for several hours, but no special alarm was felt
by her relatives as she had been subject to attacks of this kind for a
number of years. On Thursday she became worse and died between seven and
eight o’clock on Friday morning. Miss Long had suffered from ill health for
many years and was never of a strong constitution.

He death was a shock to her many friends and the community at large, where
she was well known and liked, having lived here all her life.

Josephine Sarah Sloan Long was born in LeMars on September 11, 1876. She
attended school here and graduated from the high school in 1893. Subsequent
to that she studied at Cedar Falls Normal school of which institution she
was a graduate.

After completing her studies she taught school for a time but gave up
teaching on account of her health. For the past year she has been living in
Sioux City and recently returned to LeMars to spend the summer.

She was the youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jos. Long, both of whom have
gone to their reward, Mrs. Long dying some three years ago and Mr. Long two
years ago.

Miss Long leaves a sister, Miss Lillian Long and brother, Dana Long.

The funeral was held from the home on Sunday afternoon, Rev. G. Platt, of
St. George’s church officiating. The service was brief and simple the
beautiful liturgy of the church of which she was a member being used. The
floral tokens were many and beautiful emblematic of the love and esteem in
which the departed was held by many sorrowing friends. The pallbearers were
old school comrades, E. A. Dalton, R. B. Dalton, Guy and Dwight Struble,
Carl Adamson, and R. J. Koehler. The relatives have the sympathy of a very
large number of friends in their bereavement.

"Bobby" Black Retires.

Sioux City Journal: "Bobby" Black, who for the greater part of the season
has played with the Sioux City team in the Iowa-South Dakota league has
resigned and will attend to his business affairs at Le Mars. “Bobby'' had
decided to desert the team on the first of the month, but was persuaded to
remain till Sunday, which was his last game He has given up baseball
altogether, and his time hereafter will be taken up with his bowling alley
at his home.

With the passing or Bobby from baseball the diamond loses one of the oldest
players in this part of the country. He played on the old Husker team in
the palmy days when Sioux City was in the Western league. After the demise
of baseball in Sioux City in 1894 Black moved to Le Mars and from that time
was identified with the Le Mars team of amatuers, of which he was the
captain and first baseman. When the Iowa-South Dakota league was born the
captaincy of the Le Mars team was offered to Bobby and he accepted. After
the season had opened the Sioux City management traded off Brayette and
Frazer for Black, and he played with the Sioux until Sunday.

Bruggemen will probably play in the right garden for the present.
