Thé visitors »imply couldn’t find Cellor*, who »hot ’em out o f the box for the local.» and in no case did he condescend to serve hi* twisters to more than four o f the visiting lineup in any one inning. He had splendid support and there was simply nothing to it. Smith and King handled the receiving end in style. The local* hammered the horsehide around to suit them seh.» but had mercy on tl,e visitors after copping o f f eight score* in the first inning. The vi»itors made numerous errors but were credited with the only double play during the game. A remarkable feature whs that never once did either side question the decisions o f L'mpire W. W. McFarland. The line-up was as follows: Row River— Hubert Mosby lb, Casey Jom*s 2b. Hidderman ss, K. Wicks 3b, M. Wicks p, Smith e, F. Jones rf, Van Winkle ef, A. Wicks if. The positions were ehanged considerably in the latter part o f the game, R. Wieks nnd Van Winkle both being used on the mound a couple o f innings each. Cottage Grove— Brumbaugh ef. King ss. Hill 2b. Cellers p, Smith e. DeLassus lb, Kinie 3b, McQueen If, Bennett rf. The positions were changed in the lat ter part o f the game when King went behind the bat nnd Kerr took the place o f DeLassus at first. Strikeouts: Cottage Grove 13, Row- River 4. Bases on bulls: Cottage Grove 0, Row River 4. Errors: Cottage Grove 2, Row River plenty. Two-base hit»: Row River— Casey Jones; Cottage Grove— Cellers anil King. Three-base hits: Row River— M. Wieks; Cottage Grove— Kime, Bennett nnd DeLassus. Centerfielder VanWinkle for Row- River and Centerfielder Bennett for Cottage Grove each had credit for nab bing o ff a high one after making a long run to reach i t Auto Mechanics Must Pass Exams. That the motorist may be protected from the inefficiency o f untrained me chanics and repair men, and that crafts men may be protected from inefficient competition, the state board o f auto me chanic examiners, created by1 the Inst legislature, is distributing blank* look ing to the early examination and licens ing o f every auto mechanic in the state. Deeming a purely theoretical exam inntion unfair to many excellent me chanic* who have had no theoretical training, such tests may be omitted. The classification o f mechanics will serve th« dual purpose o f giving credit where credit is due, and uet as an incentive to others to increase their knowledge and efficiency in their crafts. Has London People Worried. H. M. Barrett, o f this city uninten tiosully caused considerable commotion at London Monday, when he left the hotel there and returned to Cottag' Grove without telling anyone o f his in tentions.
