Cincinnati manages to hold second place
by narrow margin, but the cranks of that
city fear the worst. They realize that the
Orioles are only few points behind the Reds
and are just about closing the second big
trip. Cincinnati always a poor road team,
soon leaves for the East and the chances are
that Baltimore will be in second place before
the Reds have been gone three days.

are no more generous, kind-hearted

besides the great majority of you were

astray."
He dealt further with the temperance
question, and condemned the sale of
liquor vigorously, saying that the men
who sold it to the men before him
| ought to be serving time instead Of the
present cOuvictS. He "allOwed" that
liquor was the main cause of driving
men to commit crimes
His theology was somewhat startling
to the prison officials and other out
siders who were among the auditors
this sentiment which he expressed with
considerable force: "a man in the
frenzy Of liquor that shoves a knife
through the heart of friend is not a
murderer. He is not responsible for
his acts"
He spoke of his visits to the prisons
in Saltwater, MIMI, and Leaveu~
Kan. 81 have received" he said,
"over one hundred and eighty letters
from the prisoners that 1 have talked
to. every one of these breathing a spirit
of thankfulness that they have heard
me, and a promise that my talk wou d
be remem bered and made profitab in
their future lives. There is heap OF
satisfaction to me in this. My talks
may not be thoroughly orthodox, but
as long as they are practical and true,
1 know that good results follow, and no
better evidence is needed than the
letters 1 receive from the prisoners
themselves"
He related an incident of his scout
ing days He learned that there was
to be an Indian outbreak in a certain
section. He warned a family and took
to place of safety four weeks old
baby on the pommel of his saddle. Nine
years later the mother of the child
wrote to Capt. Crawl rd telling him
that her baby was dead. and asking him
to write poem. He did so and pro-
duced the piece stvled ''Sunshine be-
hind every cloud" He recited this to
the audience.
His concluding words proved to be
very interesting to the prisoners. He
introduced to his auditors from his
memory a character of the west known
as ''POny Bill" whose Christian name
was Ed Bolles. Pony Bill'' was
cowboy of the wild and woolly variety,
who drank firewater with the utmost
abandon and discharged his "guns'
with equally as much promiscuous-
ness. He afterward became a western
preacher of the gospel. Capt. Craw-
ford gave synopsis sermon that PONY
Bill'' once preached, choosing for his
theme, ''The prOdigal son.

talk that Capt. Jack Crawford, the
poet scout of the Slerras who arrived
in Boston from New Mexico last Satur-
day, gave 10 600 convicts at the state
prison in Charleston yesterday morning

He was the best drawing card that

point for long time, not eXceptin g
the vaudeville entertainments that
Warden Bridges pr"vldes on holidays
for the prls soners of the state.
His reputation was not unknown to
the greater part of the convicts, some
of them remem bering his visit paid to
the institution eight years ago, and
pthers knowing him through reading
the verses that he has penned on the
prairies.
A man that boldly confessed his
faults, acknowled ged that he held him

Der gray before him, although his
seeming condition was better. he was
taken in a freddy spirit by the prison

that was highly appreciated. There
was a strange western flavor in his talk
and mannerism. He occupied the pull
pit in the chapel above the rotunda,
and with ruddy face, curling hair, fall
ing below his shoulders, clad in a dark
cutaway suit, b e presented an unusual
figure.
He spoke for nearly half an hour,
followed by Rev. D H Trlbou, chap
lain of the Charlestown navy yard.
The poet scout looked into the faces
that were regard ding him curiously,
and the remark. that he felt like an
unclaimed, 10 brande person of their
own kind. was sufficient to create a
favorable impression at orce, and de-
spite the fact that it was religious

that moment 10 the end of his talk he
was constantly interrupted with vigor.

Recorder Manning said the idea that

temple to each state or territory, each
group of shrines outside of the temple
city being known as such and such an
