Earthquake Broke Water Mains.

San Francisco.-One of the causes
of the destruction of the greater por-
tion of the greater portion of San
Francisco was revealed when Mayor
Schmitz and Engineer Schussler of the
Spring Valley Water Company, ac-
companied by other officials, made a
trip down the peninsula to inspect the
huge mains of the water company,
which furnished the city's water supply
from Crystal Springs and other lakes.
Several big breaks were found in the
mains and thus was explained why the
city was without sufficient water sup
ply to fight the flares on the days i'm
medately following the earthquake.

A War On Profanity.

Mayor Hawkins, of new Rich
mond, Wis, says to the 2OOO souls
OF that town that profanity must
go.
1t is useless. 1t is blasphcmous
, in the sight of God. 1t lsabomin-
able in the sight of man.
"lf the profane man wants to
wallow in the pollution of his pro-
family let him betake himself to the
lumber camps, and he must remem-
Der that when he crosses the CON
fines of civilization he swears at
his peril"
With some such comment Mayor
Hawkins announces his intention
to enforce the law ir all cases of
wilful or ineXcusable profanity,
assessing penalty of 800 or a
Jail sentence of 30 days,
This Mayor has started praise
worthy though difficult and per-
haps impracticable reform.
There is no practise quite so
senseless as swearing, And none
more common.
Profanity is poison to good
speech, and the man who resorts
to it to give force to his expression
finds himself after while in the
same condition as the man who
takes liquor to stimulate his ener-
gies-the natural powers leave
him.
Habitual use of profane exple.
tives renders him powerless to
speak strongly in decent English.
Any attempt to reduce the evil
deserves commendatlon,-Cinein-

One more bitter pill stuck in the
throat of the Queen City team,
Sunday. 1t was another case of
"We have met the enemy, and we
are his'n." Murray opened the
game With confident assurance (;
stared In surprise at the way they
were held down the first four in
nings; then with a conquering
yell swooped down on the leather
and battered their way to victory.
The first half of the game was
right up to the mark, with few
errors and some remarkably nice
fielding. In the second, Logan
scored two on Murray's errors.
Murray drew blanks until the fifth,
when they tied. 1t was the bloody
sixth that spelled Waterloo for
the home team, the scJye being
equal at the beginning of that in
ming. Coburn came co bat first,
and hit for triple; wild throw
from third put Loyett TO first, and
The Democrat-sentinel. [volume] (Logan, Ohio) 1906-1935, 1906-05-17

a single by Will Taylor filled the
ba ases; Jonas followed with long
one to deep right that lost itself
in the tall grass, and the four men
crossed the plate in quick success
sion. Joe Taylor went to first on
pass, Petey Curran followed on
a tumble by O'Day, Bunton
walked, and another wild throw
! to first put Hugh Curran on irst
bag, scoring Taylor. Big sam
Taylor made the first out in the
inning, flying to second; Coburn
came to bat for the second round,
and walked, forcing Petey home.
Lovett was hit by pitched ball,
and Willie Taylor again singled,
scoring Coburn. A strike-out by
Jonas and fly to Webb by Joe L.
then ended the series of dire hap
penings. O'Day retired from the
box during this half, being succeed
ed by Livingston. There was a
little more desultory hitting for
the rest of the game, but nothing
startling. Logan scored two more
in the ninth, and retired grace
fully from the field. Statistics of
the game are appended.
The Democrat-sentinel. [volume] (Logan, Ohio) 1906-1935, 1906-05-17

though, and it was a forlorn hope.
His fielding, too, was excellent
except in two instances. Both his
| errors were on difficult chances {;
like Hulswitt, he goes after every
thing, and little hasty work in
as good general player as Camp
is not objectionable.
Jakey Klelnschmidt is develop
ing better each game. His mis-
plays were costly but his game as
a whole compared fayorably with
any of the others. He was the
only player on Logan's team that
hit more than once.
The one-handed assist by Joe
Taylor, Murray's second baseman,
in the seventh, was pretty play.
1t was warm grounder, and he
barely reached it with his mitt,
where 1T stuck. He made the play
to first, probably because he
thought time was short, for Canty
got second on the play. In the
case of phenomenal stunt like
this, however, one is always har-
assed by doubt as to how much
.'hog-lucll" was n4Xed up in it.
At any rate they look remarkably
nice, and Taylor was loudly APP
plauded.
This feat was surpassed by
Myer, in center, though. In the
third inning, after two men were
out, Jonas singled, Joe Taylor
landed first on n grounder played
to second, and Petey Curran
worked O'Day for free one.
Bunton, one of Murray's most
dangerous hltters, came to bat,
and hit the bail straight to center
so hard that the fuzz flying oil the
leather was plainly visible to the
naked eye. | looked like plates
of peaches for Murray. Mr.. Myer
went after that ball like son OF
the Congo after ripe watermelon.
He was playing deep, as he usually
does, and he just barely reached
the hurtling sphere, and held it
held it, mind you. A wild cheer
arose to a height of nine feet, at
least; Murray growled about luck,
Big Sam whooped in disgust, and
some unknown party swore. But
it saved four runs, and registered |
a goose-egg for the visitors.
Webb, the little outfielder from
out Webb Summit way, delivered |
the goods in left in a manner
astonishing in one so young. The
boy had five chances, and took
them all without batting an eye.
1t may not be generally believed,
but there are holes in that left
field four inches deep, straight
down, where Webb dug his toes in
while waiting on high tension for
the ball to come his way. He won
the hearts of all, and if he keeps
his game up, should be signed as
a regular.
Tom Wakely, Logan $ old center
and erstwhile long hitter, was in
the game, in right, and took his
one chance with becoming grace.
Five of Murray's players are left
handed batters, and it was rather
surprising that no more went to
right. Their two long hits were
placed well out of reach there,
back in the timber. |
