DIAMOND DUST

Raubs home run drive TO the left field
corner on Saturday was the second home
run ever made at Adelaide park inside
the ground, Henry Lynch having accom-
plished the feat several years ago. putting
the ball into almost exactly the same
spot as Raub.
What a surprise that victory yesterday
must have been to Newark. II has been
a long day since Newark won a game at
home bofer. and the victory was the
seventh won by the team In the last 40
games played Newark Is about the worst
beaten club in the country.
There has been considerable criticism
over Umpire Snyder's decision IN Satur-
days game, In declaring Corridor safe at
the plate in the llth INNING with the
winning run. Raub was waiting for Cor
ridon with the ball on the base line and
10 score Corridor had to run around him.
going more than three feet out or the base
line. To many II looked as though Corri-
don should have been declared out.
Rochester bids fair TO remain the sec
ond division for q while. Unless some OF
the weak places are strengthened, the
champions will go still lower

Miss Patton'S Clock.
BY Howard Markle Hoke.

All of US who often dropped In
to see Miss Patton noticed, of
course, that the tall, mahogany
clock that stood on the landing
OF the stairs leading up from her
luxurious sitting-room, did not
run. Its highly ornamented case
was kept polished, and we could
see that she gave it scrupulous
care, but so far as We could learn
she had never called in for it the
service Of a clock maker. The
hands stood at nine twenty three,
and at the time | am writing
apout | was confident they had
not moved a minute in ten years.
The older people of Brookton
believed that the moveless hands
and pendulum stood for some
crisis in Miss Patton's life. They
told us that after she had come TO
live among them the clock had
run for a few mOntes, but one
day they had seen that it had
stopped, and she had never start
ed it. Some of the pryIng ones
had tried to question her, but she
had evaded them with her per-
feet courtesy, and from these
batfled ones the impression was
spread that there was streak
Of queerness in Miss Patton.
But we young people resisted
and resented this. If Miss Patton
had had great GIFT, she became
all the more interesting to us
but that it had made her queer
we stoutly denied. For if there
was one person IN Brookton who
was interested in us young fOIks
and all we did it was Miss Patton.
She was only too glad to help US
plan our pleasures, and none of
u.s. trouble or perpiexed, had ever
been turned away by her after a
confidence without an uplifting
word or suggestion that made
the way clear. If anyone in
Brookto tou was sick she was the
most constant and the most vel
come visitor, and the tale of her
charities and kindness could not
be told on many pages.
AS outsiders, our relation to
the MYSTERY of the clock was en-.
tirely different from Mamie
Graham's. She had been adopted
by Miss Patton a few weeks after
she had come to the village.
NaDnie had been only ten at that
