Paducah Took Both Games Yes

The Egyptians Put Up Stubborn
Fight in the Presence OF
Large Crowd.
GOSSIP OF THE DIAMOND

The close of the baseball season here
yesterday was marked by two fairly
coed games, witnessed by about 1000
people. Both were seven innings, and
the first was won by Paducah py
score of to z, and the next by . score
of z to 3. The first was quite excit-
ing Gardner, the left paw of the Hen
de'son club, pitched for Paduoah and
Brocket, the crack pitcher Of the X. !.
L. league, was in the box for the
Egyptians. Paducsh s slugging did the
work. Many errors were made on both
sides, but costlier on the Pncucah
side, and in the seventh inning the
score was seven to seven with Padu-
cab at the bat and two men out. Me-
redith singled, Gardner lined out a
fly to center field, and Powers muffed
it, Me-edith scoring and ending the
game, but the Cairo boys, seeing they
were beat, tried to run IN bluff by
claiming that Powers threw the ball
down, but it was too plain muf and
Umpire Doyle declined to entertain
such a proposition. The winning run
en- fed the game.
The next game was not so exciting,
ten hits being made off Lloyd the Cal
TO twirler, and four of Best. The
crowd was well pleased with the
games. and Paducah won the loving
cup from the champions. The summa-

Paducah is of the opinion that the
three games we won should not be
counted, and in that case she would
lead Henderson in the percentage col
umn. The little city of windy base
ball fans and players will have to
bring forth better argument than the
one quoted above, for il the Owensbo-
70 games cannot be counted neither
can the ones with Vincennes and in
that case Paducah would still be
scratching beneath us. II on the other
hand Vincennes did complete the cir
cult, the three games WE won from
her must be counted, which they never
have, and in that event, we would
still be in the lead. We have Paducah
bested in every possible way, and the
only thing for her to do is to quit kick
ing, and try to get better team for
next year. In conclusion we would
like to ask if Secretary Farnbak.r is

only Cairo and Paducah; and to allow
other teams to count the games won

from counting the three games she
won, which three it was necessary for
Vincennes to play before completing

POWERS ENCOURAGED
HIS MOTHER VISITS HIM AT
THE JAIL.

Georgetown, KY, Sept. 2i-Mrs.
Amos Powers, mother of Caleb Pow.
ers, arrived in Georgetown Saturday
and went Immediately to the Jail to
visit her son. She was accompanied by
her physician. DR. Samuel Bennott, of
Williamsburg, Ky, who because of her
infirmities, had volunteered to make
the trip with her.
Mrs. Powers, contrary to expeota-
tions, did not break down upon meet
ing her son, but, like the Spartan mo-
Their, babe him be brave, stand and
fight for his idea of the right, and for
the upholding of his innocence.
When Mrs Powers was admitted to
the Jail Caleb Powers was brought out
into the reception lobby, and no eyes
witnessed the meeting betwee moth
er and son.
Mrs Powers after many exhortations
to her son to be brave in facing the
ordeals of the next few weeks, left the
jail at 1855 o'clock, accompanied by
Miss Gray.
Mrs. Powers is woman whose face
shows great strength of character. APP.
psrently about 50 years Of age, her
hair is dark. mingled with gray. Her
face is cast in the same general lines
as that of her son, squiline, but strong,
showing above a firm mouth and heavy
eyebrows. a forehead indicative of in
telligence and strength of purpose. 1t
is net hard for one having seen the
mother to realize the source OF Pow
ers' strength Of will.

HE EXPECTS A WAR.
So Says N. E. Adams Who Has
Returned from COrea.

N. 4. Adams, who returned three
weeks ago from Corea, where he has
been for the past eight years, has been
selected by the Alumni association of
Washburn college to deliver the annual
address before the Alumni association
on Tuesday evening, June Q.
Mr.. Adams is a graduate Of Wash
burn ii the class of 'SS. and he also
served as an instructor at the college in
the department of mathematics.
Mr.. Adams address viii be Of especial
interest in view of the information
which the speaker possesses concerning
the Manchurian difficulty, now the CEN
ter of the worlds attention. In CONVEX
sataon with a reporter for the state
Journal, Mr.. Adams said today:
i have been located in the southern
part of Corea, while Manchuria is in the
extreme northern end of the peninsula,
extending over on the mainland. Rus
STA. has been fishing for control in Corea
for years, and it is well known that it
wants to take possession of Manchuria
if opportunity offers. Japan viii GER
tainly resist this effort, even at the cost
of war.
Il believe that there will be a war
over there before long. Some of the
powers will almost certainly become in
volved in strife and Japan is ready to
fight at the drop Of the hat. 1t is
question of vital Importance to Japan
that Russia should keep out of Man
churia 1t involves the very existence
of Japan.
Japan could make a very hard fight
while she lasted. but the trouble is that
the Japanese nation is not rich ma
ton. 1t is rather poor, as nations go,
and its resources would soon be ex-
hausted- It has formidable navy and
army and would probably sweep things
for while. But in case of a prolonged
war. it would be in a preca15ous situa-

This is where England would come
in. England and Japan are openly al
lied. and England would probably stand
back of Japan with funds, if in no other
way.
Diplomatic affairs receive much
closer attention over there than they do
here There it is part of our daily
existence, and we are intensely interest
ed in the conflict between the powers.
Here people read the press dispatches,
but understand fully that there is moth
ing of personal interest at stake"
