Several types of races will be con ducted with $50 in merchandise awards for first, second and third places in all events. ‘BEEF CHAWING’ BREAKS UP TILT All the efforts the Dodgers and Rogues put forth in the first three and one-half innings at the high school field Wednesday night went for no good when an argument broke out and the Rogues were obliged to forfeit the game. The score was tied at 5 to 5 and two were out when Fromm, Rogue third baseman, walked. He was alleged to have left the bag too soon on an attempted steal and was called out. When Manager Daugherty protested the decision he was ordered off the playing field by Umpire Jim Krinock, who declared the game a forfeit. With but eight men left to play, the Rogues had no choice. The Miner Press got back into form and walloped the Elks 8 to 3 in the second game of the double feature. It was an even and fast game until the last of the sixth when the Pressmen sent four tal lies across.
