IRWIN AND YATES 1T"
As Battery They Seem Invincible-
Only 8 Hits Made off Jimmie"
in Last Three Games.

Before a crowd of about 1000 people
and amidst the yelling of the excited
fans, the Valparaiso Standards pre-
viously labeled champs of the north
ern Indiana, were jolted by the Lowell
team yesterday afternoon at Valpa-
raiso by the tune of to 0. Suffice it
to say that the Valparaiso team didn't
have a chance at any stage of the
game.
The opening round started out by
plate and after the fatal first (fataI
for the Standards) the Lowell bunch
continued to put the runs across the
plate until their last bat.
Irwin and Yates, the Lowell battery
were invincible, Irwin striking out
nine men, Only three hits were reg
istered off Irwin. Yates behind the
bat, played one of the finest games of
the year shooting the ball to second,
catching five Standards. Sievers, the
Valparaiso twirler, struck out two
men and allowed ten hits. After the
game the Valparaiso players wended
their way from the grounds a dis
hearted looking crowd of players, but
all were willing to take off their hats
to the victors. There seems to be
little doubt that the speedy little ag-
gregation of south end players are
about the best in northern Indiana,
having played twenty five games this
year and only lost two, which gives
them a pretty good record, in fact one
that can hardly be equalled by any
other team in the northern part of
the state.
The last three games pitched by
Irwin have been shutouts, and only
nine hits have been made off him.

Keep the Armholes Down.

1t is strange that not one person in
a thousand knows how to help a man
on with his coat or a lady with her
jacket. They all make the mistake OF
holding the garment too high, especial
~ the last sleeve. They lift it so that
a man nearly dislocates his arm reach
ing for 1t. The more futilely he grabs
and claws and lurches for 1t the higher
they hold 1t until the wretched victim
would have to get on a pair of stills
to find the arnhole. The proper way7
Why, hold the coat so that the arm
holes are as low down as the mans
waist, taking care to keep the skirt of
the garment off the floor, of course. If
there is any struggle to find the last
armhole, drop it still lower. Never
raise 1t. Drop 1t until his hand slips
into it naturally.

How Mrs. Davis prevented her hus-
band from escaping In his fight after
the fall of the Confederacy is told in
Mrs Avary's book, Dixie After the
War" After leaving Washington,
Ca, Mr.. Davis had heard that maraud-
ers were in pursuit Of his wife's
cortege, and, turning out of his course,
he rode hard across country, found his
family, conveyed them beyond the
present danger, as he thought, and
was about to renew his journey
south. The party camped, when he
was reused at dawn by his negro serv-
ant, who said troops were coming.
Mrs. Davis begged her husband to
leave. His horses and weapons were
near the road down which the cavalry
was coming. In the darkness of the
tent he caught up what he took to be
his raglan. q sleeveless waterproof
garment. 1t was hers. She then
threw a shawl over his head. He
went out OF the tent. she keeping near.
''HaltP' cried a trooper, leveling a
carblne at him. Mr. Davis dropped
his wraps and hurried forward. Mrs.
Davis saw the carblne, cast her arms
about her husband and lost him his
one chance Of escape, for he might
have slipped away in the dark.
