Mr.. William 3. Hare, Superinten-
dent of the Florida school for the
blind, deaf and dumb, is making a
strong appeal for large appropria-
ton to aid him in the humane work
he has undertaken. He says as the

heard by our legislators and the
benevolent citizens of Florida every
where. Let US endeavor to tighten
the burdens and brighten the paths
of these unfortunate little ones.

Special to The Herald.
SEATTLE. Aug. 1S.--The locals had
hard luck today, making almost as
many hits as the visitors, but Baum
refused them the privilege of scoring.
1t was a beautiful game. Ross broke
UP the game in the fifth inning by
rapping out a long two-bagger that
scored two runs. and he saved it later
by making a brilliant catch of Frary's
long drive that would have sent two
runs home.
Bernard stole home and did it so
cleanly that Clark made no effort to
touch him in the sixth. Ross brought
out hit with two men down in the
seventh and stole second. He counted
on Spies safe drive to center. Frick
has jumped the town and the team
and no one knows where he is. AS
a result Hart had to play second to-
day, McHale going to center.
The latter got half the hits made
by the locals, but they came when
they would do no good for his team.
without regular second baseman the
local team is in bad shape. Three bril-
liant double plays started by Flood,
helped enliven the game. Baum was
steady at all times, having fine control
of his underhand ball.
