Will tut Out Postville
The decision has been made to
route the pr.mary road from West
Union to Clermont the present way,
past the Huntsberger and Blunt
places, instead of the proposed way
north to the Henry George corner
and thence east. The determining
reason was that eventually the Na
tional highway will go over the El
gin road instead of the Clermont
road, if the present plans of the gov
ernment engineers are not changed,
so (the part of the road near West,
Union can be prepared and main
tained as one job instead of two, the,
West Union Union says. The idea
of the engineers is to save mileage
and avoid a number of dangerous
railroad crossings by cutting out
: Clermont and Poatville, and going to
fore charging the primary road and
! turning the West Union-Clermtmt
\ road over to Fayette county for ntain
-1 tenance the Clermont road will be
given a complete grave! surface by
federal aid, so that it. the end Fay
ette county will get that much more
hard surfaced road.

LUTHER BEATS MINNESOTA
Won Ten Innning Game of Ball ut
Northrop Field Thursday Af
ternoon. 4 to 3.
The University of Minnesota base
ball team lost a ten inning pitching
due! to Lu.her college of Decorah,
lowa, on N.-rthrop Field Thursday,
and the Minneapolis Tribune gives
the following description of the game.
Les Fried!, the Gopher right hander,
and Ossie Orwall of Luther engaged
in the twirling battle, the latter hav
ing just the edge that the score
would imliea e. He whiffed 18 Gop
hers in the ten frames, while Friedl
sent back .en of the lowa collegians
by the same route.
The winning run vas scored on
two singles and :.u error by Ander
son, Gopher center fielder. Orwal!
hit a hot -ingle to center and took
econd when Anderson fumbled the
ball before throwing in. The pi rcher
scored a moment later on BotteLf
<on'- single to left, beating Samp
on V thrown by a narrow margin.
In the Gopher’s half of the ten:h,
Rumble and Doyle both struck out,
but Captain Harry Brown slammed
the ball far over S. Orwall’s head in
center field. It looked good for the
round “rip, but the ball stuck in the
soggy field and Brown was held at
third. It was his second extra base
hit of the day. Fribley followed,
striking out for the fifth consecutive
time. Rober son, the regular Gopher
first baseman was kept out of the
game by an injury while the Gophers
were working out in the field a few
minutes before the stall. A line
drive mean, for the outfield caught
him O' the temple, knocking him un
conscious. He was taken to the Uni
versity Health service for treatment.
