Morris of Warrensburg, pleton City on the latters’ grounds, The Butler team played well at bat and in the field. There was very little ragged playing. Black of But- ler, got one stinging three base hit and scored a brace of runs. The Appleton City team put up a nice clean game but were unfortunate in their choice for umpire. That offi- cial seemed obsessed with the idea that he was a member of the home team. The Athletics will cross bats with some of the best teams in this section of the country. Appleton City comes in for a beating on Decoration Day. The game will be played at the Fair Grounds ball park. Ira Rockhold will umpire. Game called at 3:45. Admission 15c; Wagon leaves east side square at 3:30. Free ride to grounds. The Times is for the bunch and encourages everybody to support the team in their home games. Hurrah for the Athletics! The Field Family. Of the five sons of a New England Congregational preacher four wrote their names into the history of their day. The most widely known of the family was Cyrus W. Field, who laid the first Atlantic cable. Stephen T. Field was a.Justice of the Supreme Court. Another brother, David Dud- ley Field, was a leading authority on international law, and still another, Henry M. Field, won a place in let- ters as the editor of a New York re- ligious weekly and as the author of several books.
