The second game OF the afternoon

Less Than Twenty-Five Hundred Dol

twenty-five hundred dollars to be Sc
cured before the fund is completed. 1t
was thought that the meeting this
noon would be the last one but more
careful scrutinization of the provisions
of the conditional gifts shows that
there can still be another meeting on
Monday. At this time it is hoped that
everything will be cleaned up and the
money all secured,
An erroneous impression seems to
exist among some people that all there
remains to be done at the present
time is for President Plass and some
other members of the committee to

No one has anything up his sleeve
which he is holding for grand stand

committee has a hard days work
ahead yet. With proper response on
the part of those who are visited by
the committee between now and Mon

count as it is the small offerings which
a great number are able to make that

A Rellable Home Defenderi,

The truth of the adage that "An
ounce of prevention is worth pound OF
cure" has probably been forced upon
more people through the agency of "L
f." Atwood's Bitters than would readi-
ly be believed. And what Ia still more
remarkable is the fact that IL. F." At
woods remedy is equally as eficacious
in It's curing powers as 1t Is as pre-
ventive against sickness. Thousands Of
families have depended upon the 81

over half a century; and it is no ex
aggeration to say that few medicines
have averted more sickness or prevented
more suffering. Don't wait until sick

State Conference of Charities and
Corrections.

The invitation to the state conference
of charities and corrections at Auburn,
October 21st to 22d, is a general one.
All are invited to attend. From present
indications large number of the pastors
of churches, and volunteer charitable
workers will be present. A large num-
Der of institutions have already signified
their intention of sending delegates.
At one of the sessions the subject for
discussion is, "What city should do
for widow with five children, without
means of support, unable to work be-
cause of sickness. What 1t costs such a
family to live decently." This subject
will be discussed by men who have had
years of experience in city relief work
here in Maine. 1t is the purpose of the
committee to make the meeting extreme
~ practical and helpful as we'll as inter.
esting.
1t is expected that between 200 and
$50 delegates will be in attendance al
the conference. A man who knows the
state of Maine pretty we'll said, the Other
day, that in his opinion there were fully
$50 paid workers in Maine who give
their entire time to charitable and cor
rectional work. At least half of tht
delegates, however, will be volunteer
workers. The railroads have arranged
] reduced rates for the conference.

Base Ball.
WEST PARIS s: NORWAY


In the game at the fair grounds Satur
day afternoon West Paris once more
proved too strong for Norway, winning
in rather loosely played but interest
ing game. The makeup of the West
Paris team was the same as In the
previous games, but for Norway, Adams
was In the box, Rich took Hayes place
in center field and Titcomb was on sec
ond base in place of Jordan. An anus.
ing incident of the game was the roofing
of some Oxford fans. Adams and De
lano both being former Oxford players
and pitching for the opposing teams
made it hard for the Oxford rOoters to
tell which side to cheer for, but they
used them both alike, encouraging one
at one time and the other the next
minute.
The most pleasing part of the contest
from South Paris standpoint was the
playing of Titccmb on second for Nor
way. Regardless of his two errors,
which cost nothing, his playing was one
of the features of the game. He led
both teams at the bat with single and
double, figuring in all three of Norway's
runs, and turned in some fine fielding
plays.
Delano had the better of Adams in
pitching, but poor support at critical
times placed Adams in some bad holes,
and was more responsible for Norway's
defeat than he was.
In the last of the first inning Cole and
Emery ran together in going after fly
ball back of first base, and Cole was laid
60 hnr
place for one inning until be recovered.
Although both teams had men on
bases in the opening inning, neither
scored until the last of the fourth. Gam
mon, the first batter, was safe on L.
Rowe's error, Pike sacrificed him to sec
ond, he went to third, when Rich struck
out and scored on Shaw's error on Tit.
combs hit. Titcomb stole second and
by good base running scored on Perkins
hit into right field, which Emery fielded
very poorly. Anderson went out, Rid
Ion to Shaw.
West Paris came back in their half of
the fifth, with two men out. Price
made an error on l.. Rowe's ground ball,
and this was followed by clean hits by
Ridlon, Delano, Farnum and N. Rowe.
These with errors by Perkins and Adams
gave West Paris five runs before it was
retired. West Paris was unable to score
again, fine throw by Libby to the plate,
cutting off what looked like good
chance for more runs in the eighth.
Norway could do nothing after the
fourth inning until the ninth. Pike led
off in this inning with single, but was
forced by Rich, Titcomb then made the
best hit of the game, scoring Rich from
first and he reached second, he went to
third on Perkins out and was left there,
Anderson striking out.
The score:

covered it, lost his powder plant which
he had located in Gorham, few days

without exploding, when the wind blew
some sparks into pile of about half
ton Of the powder. The inventor wal
burned somewhat in trying to separate
the burning powder from the other, but
no one else was at all injured. The
building and an automobile in which tn
visiting party had come were burned
but there was no explosion.
