PAGE EIGHT
SERIES BEGINS TO
DECIDE CHAMPS
IN SOFT BALL
Winners In Three Game Series Will
Play For League Championship;
, First Game Tonight
Though there still remains two
more rained out games to be played I
in the soft ball league schedule,
managers of the clubs, in view of
the fact that these games would not
materially change the standing, met!
Tuesday afternoon and decided to
begin a play-off series for the city
championship. In order to deter
mine the two contenders for this
title, a series of three games will be J
p]mje4qfcy > ,the Lions, and sed Men
amithe Masons and Rotarians, with [
the two winners playing for the j
championship. |
This series will begin tonight
' with the other two
frames scheduled to be played Fri
day and Tuesday nights. On each
night a double-header will be played.
Tonight the first game between the
Lions and Red Men will begin at 8
o’clock, immediately following which
the Masons and Rotarians will play.
On Friday night the Masons and Ro
tarians will cross bats first, followed
/by the other two teams.
‘For sbe championship title a series
*of seven games will be played, a
schedule for which will be made as
. soon as the contenders are decided.
Afl four teams in the circuit have
-been playing a good brand of ball,
which makes it hard to predict just
who the winners will be.
A double-header was played Wed
nesday night of last week when the
Rotarians and Red men were vic
torious. Considerable substitutions
were made in both games due to a
number of players on all clubs being
absent.
The Rotarians completely wallop
ed the Masons in a one-sided game,
taking the long end of a 28-6 count.
In the other game the Red Men
tamed the leading Lions 9 to 1, being
the first defeat suffered by the Lions j
at the hands of any team except the ■
Masonic aggregation.
Another swatfest was staged.
Thursday night when the Rotarians j
hit the ball to all comers of the lot!
ranging in singles to have runs to
easily down the Red Men 23 to 3.

Welfare Puzzling Ta
County Commissioners
Considerable time was devoted to
welfare work by the County Com
missioners Monday when Superin
tendent W. M. Perkins submitted his
monthly report.. Chairman D. M.i
Warren was much concerned by the I
fact that the county is now paying j
for upkeep of county home inmates
who are eligible for old age assist
ance, but by virtue of being in the
institution eliminated their chances
te be put on the list.
Mr. Warren instructed Mr. Perkins
to make an investigation to see what
could be done in the matter, feeling
I that the cost of upkeep per person
l in the home was greater than the
I county’s share in old age- benefits. 1
I It was estimated that the cost per
I inmate in the home was sl2 or 412.50
I per month, which is more than it
would cost the county under the
social security set-up.
The Commissioners also went over
the old relief roll of the county
which brought to light that all but
I six of this group were now receiving
or had pending checks for old age
assistance. The six who remain on
the county roll cannot qualify and
therefore will remain charges of the
county.
Mr. Perkins’ report showed that
there are now 56 in the county" ap
proved for old age relief, five depend- ■
ent children applications represent
ing nine children and two aid to the
blind cases. These cases represent
$220 per month paid for old age as
sistance, $92 for dependent children
and $24 for the blind. Checks range
from $2.50 to sll per month, de
pending, of course, upon circum
stances surrounding applicants.
During August the number of per-.
sons recommended and passed for
old age assistance was 28; aid to de
pendent children, 4; blind assistance,
1; rejected for old age assistance on
first interview, 10; rejected for aid
to dependent children on first inter
view, 2; pending for old age assist
ance, 15; pending for aid to depend
! ent children, 2; pending for blind as
, sistance, 2; persons given general
relief out of county welfare budget,
; JO; number hospitalized, 1; homes;
: visited by superintendent, 22; collat
! eral calls, 15; number given govern
ment food, 61.
