From Our Exchanges

Paul Ratio OF Gwin Mine was in San
Andreas last Sunday night, in consul
tation with the authorities in regard to
runaway wife, who decamped with
man and took along the two Ratio
children. And also presumably to de-
fray the expenses of the trip, which we
understand is to terminate in British
'Colum bia, Mrs Ratio and male compa
nion took along some $500 belonging
to the husband. AS the money was in
the possession of Mrs Ratio, and not
her gentleman friend, and was placed
in her hands by Mr Ratio, the officers
of course could do nothing. A requisi
tion would be necessary to bring back
the couple, but this could not be pro-
cured as the money was community
property. It's pretty hard for man
to work two or three years and deny
himself all the luxuries of life in order
to save a little money for an emergen-
cy, and then to have another man step
in and swipe the family and the money.

A good story comes from Santa Rosa,
An easterner who happened to be there
during the recent quake having been
caught in the debris shouted: "Help !!
Help! Get me out first, amt used
to these earthquakes; you Califor-
mans are!'' The man was rescued.
Sam Radovlch, an employe of the
Lightner mine, met with painful ac-
cident last week. While ascending the
shaft on the skip his foot got caught
between the rim and shute, crush
ing it quite severely, but breaking no
bones. He will be out again in few
days. ys.-CaIaveras News.

win a pennant and make a new record for
winning games for a season is entitled to
be held together" replied Murphy.
How much money did it cost you for
players to land the pennant?'
I'VE spent exactly $4,000 for new men
to strengthen the club. We have already
spent $1,000 for new men for next year, as
we have secured five new Outfielders which
will make nine we can call In case of emer-

will be farmed out to other clubs, from
where we can recall them at any time

worst exhibition of horsemanship that turf
men have seen this year. At the start
Miller took Rye to the front and got the
rail. Nearing the half mile pole Yves and

that Miller, believing that they would tire,
took Rye up. This was his first error and

CLEVELAND. Ohio September 29-New
York and Cleveland had another hard bat
tie yesterday, which resulted In an even
break. Both teams played grand ball, and
IT was not until the last man was retired
in each game that either side could be sure
of a victory.
Walter Clarkson was The winning pitcher
for New York, and he pitched a splendid
game and well deserved the victory Otto
Hess was his opponent, and although eff
fective at times he was unsteady at critical
periods The score of the first game was
to o in favor of New York, while the Maps
took the second in the eighth inning by
2 to l score.
Clarkson only gave the sluggers three
hits, and had perfect control at all times
his only weakness being at bat where he
struck out three times and raised a foul
the last time up. In the fourth inning the
Yankees opened fire on Hess. Chase sin
gied to center. Williams sacrificed neatly.
Laporte flied to Jackson without advancing
Chase Conroy, however, tore off a long
single to left center and Chase scored.
Conroy went to third on stovalrs muff Of
Hoffmans bunt and Thomas beat out

looked as If there might be some action,
but Clarkson famed and it was all over.
Hess gave Williams pass to first in the
sixth inning and he went to third on La
porte's sizzler TO left Williams came home
after Conroy's fly had been caught by Jack
son. This ended the scoring and neither
side had chance after the sixth In fact,
Cleveland never had q chance, as only one
man got far second base, Congalton
getting a two-bagger in the second but
being left there.
Joss Outpitched Hogg.
Billy Hogg pitched the second game and

IT was a single by Conroy, stolen base

successful IL Hogg had not hit the ball to

Hogg then TO first SO slowly that he
was nailed by inches, and the run did not
count, as Hogg was the third man out.
Some great work by Chase cut off a run
in the first inning. Jackson singled, stole

by Thomas. Stovaa then fouled to Laporte
and Turner hit g grounder to Chase. intend

dali Green yesterday afternoon for a prac-
tice game, and at the conclusion of twenty
Ave minutes Of play neither side had passed
the goal line of the other.
Gallaudet this year is lighter than for
merly. and as far as weight Is concerned
seems to be about a par with Eastern
During the course Of the play 1t seemed
that the new rules had created havoc with
the play of both teams. for only few times
were either of the teams able to make the
ten yards on three downs. First Gallaudet
would kick. and then. after holding the baby
blue and wlsite, Eastern would kick out. and
thus the game passed off without either
side scoring.
OF course the boys said it was a practice
game, but Eastern as well as Gallaudet did
some fast playing in several stages. Both
teams seemed averse to open play, and
from the way the line was bucked by both
aggregations In their rushes one could
hardly see the difference from the play of
last season 1t was the first game of the
season for each Of the teams, and the GAL
laudet tackles and ends seemed to get
through the Eastern line in fast shape
Then again Easterns linemen did some ia st
work. and more than once threatened the
goal of their opponents from the thirty-flve
yard line. The training had not gone long
enough for the players to have gained much
endurance, and as time was called every
now and then the most popular place on the
grounds was in front of the water cooler,
where tired Fasteners and thirsty Gallau-
Diet players drank to their hearts content.
