Sangtter's Successful Artists Wallop "Billy" Englert's Bunch in Bloody Battle--Grim Details. Leland, 9. Bon Ton, 7. It was a great day. The white-coated heroes of the Leland and the immaculately robed representatives of the Bon Ton met upon the gory field of battle--yclept Iowa park--and there and then the Sangsterites filled the Englertites' cup with gall and wormwood, instead of cocoa and cream.

The score was 9 to 1. The Bon Ton bunch, at that, discovered the mysteries of the unapproachable Yessler's curves, even better than THE LOCAL NEWS TUESDAY, JUNE 14, 1904.

had the state university of Missouri, the Ames or Cornell teams--much, better. Maybe "old iron arm" relented-who knows? Even more so, were the revelations made by the Leland batters, when they ran up against smiling Hampson's twisters. The balls looked like codfish and mashed potato creations, instead of horsehide, and hits were rather frequent. However, Yessler had his opponents well in hand, except in the seventh inning, when for a while the Hampsonites looked dangerous. They went after the benders like a bunch of hoboes after a free lunch on Flag day.

They put in their orders in a loud, peremptory voice and taking the balls for fried eggs, they ordered them "straight xip" -and "turned over," with a vengeance. For the rest of the time, except during those two minutes, the flying spheroid looked like a slice of thin Now is the Time Hirt, Schaffner ft Mine sum- want you be thinking about the clothes you will wear during the hot mer months.

CO AST SON The American Clothiers. ham, between two big slices of rye bread--Yessler and Dennis, respectively, impersonating the bread. Seemingly, the Leland fraternity was filled with Sunny Jim's creation, for there was a whole box of Force In everything that the fielders, batters and pitchers accomplished. Assisted nobly by an occasional but alarmingly fruitful exhibition of "poor service," the noble-mannered Singleton, who looks as sturdy, as if he were born Singletree, and renamed for euphony's sake, scored three times. Singleton is as straight and clean, as a sandalwood toothpick, in a cut-glass holder, and he runs bases, like a stream of cooking butter out of a buckwheat griddle.

Yessler, himself, with the strength of a boarding; hoise egg, created in February, and fried in July, chased himself over the plate twice. The other scores were neatly captured by Dennis. Story, Brims and Moss--one apiece. They were maJest about it, and asked the scorer to put 'ern down, in a mild and gentle voice, like a poor relation requesting his rich banqueter to please pass the custard pie for the fourth time, or a man. back seven weeks in board, calling on the landlord for a side dish of terrapin.

R. Hampson, for the losers, did the heaviest scoring, and he captured tallies with the eagerness and speed of a hurried and harried traveling man trying to bolt a nine-course breakfast at 6:30 in the morning, with a 0:42 train sweating impatiently at the depot a mile away. Bert Hampson went after a score- record, also, and he locked a couple of scores in the cash register, and wrapped a couple of hits in a dish cloth that hadn't been working this week. Dye and Sutherland, when Bos Yessler wasn't looking, put in an extra spoonful of sugar in the chocolate in the shape of a niece clean score. That made the seven.

The balls went over the "oyster" rather badly at times, for the "walks" were numerous, owing to the inability of the "pitchers" to discover the "plate." Inasmuch as the Bon Ton boys were good "waiters," they were thus permitted to land on first base several times, without making any hits to get there. Both sides fielded pretty cleanly, although, once in a while, naturally enough, somebody showed a case of butter fingers, dropped the ball with the grace of a freshman waiter pouring olive oil down a boarder's back, and then the ball scototed away off in latitude 87. longitude 134, while a bunch of white- robed angels scampered across the "pan." Altogether, It was a nice dia- WIN ONCE MORE CAPTURE BOTH CONTRACTS FOR S. U. I.

BUILDINGS. Will Construct Two Wings of Science Hall and Maybe a Third--Gymnasium Building Theirs. Rowson Son of Iowa City, captured both the greatly-coveted contracts to erect new university buildings, as awarded by the board of regents last night. The figures are as follows: South and centrals wings of science hall, $165,800. North wing of science hall, $66,300.

Gymnasium, $28,550. The first two wings of the hall of science must be constructed the coming year, and are supposed to be finished by Dec. 31, 1905. The third wing, according to present plans, will GREAT! GREATER! GREATEST! not be erected until time is advanced somewhat. The gymnasium will be of pressed brick with stone trimmings.

It will be located on the site of the tennis court, and thereabouts, near the interurban and the ball park. The hall of science will be of stone, will be fireproof and modern in every detail. It will be located on the northeast part of the campus, relatively situated--as to the old capitol--as the Liberal Arts hall. The third wing will not be contracted for at present, but Rowson Son may be induced to give an option on their present bid. This will form a pretty picture on the campus, it is planned, and the oH capitol will be the keystone of the new quadrangle.

The other two bidders, on the two wings and one wing, respectively, and their bids were as follows: Science Hall. H. W. Schleuter, Chicago, $68,000. Tri-City Construction Davenport, $77.000.

L. F. Olsen, Stillwater, $83,000. Butler Bros, St. Paul, $85000.

J. C. Robinson. Chicago. $204936: $80,513.

Marcus M. Hall, Cedar Rapids, $85,382. Nichols Des Moines, $89,400. Iowa City contractors were after the smaller contract, as will be seen on inspection of the following: Gymnasium Bidders and Bids. Rowson Son, $28,550.

Harry C. Smith, $29,849. Sheets Freyder. $38.557. F.

Rowson Son. after building the courthouse, completing the Hall of Liberal Arts, and erecting the medical buildings, have proven themselves first-class contractors, and the fact that the contract is to remain in Iowa City delights everybody. That the Rowsons are to do the building, as against any out side firm, is especially pleasing to their many friends. SALE! Ever Held in Johnson County is the issolutioi?
