CRAYS SHUT OUT
KreII-French Team Defeats
Wayne County Lads by
Score of 8 to O.
NEW CASTLE WAS LUCKY.
BY Nose.

Cambridge City, Ind. June 15.-It
was terrible revenge that the Krell
French bunch took on the Grays at
New Castle yesterday afternoon, for
the defeat that Cambridge handed
them last Sunday They were able to
amass five runs to the Grays none.
The contest was most interesting from
beginning to end and the final score
should have been 20, but for some
rank decisions on the part of Umpire
Watkins. Boyd and Lacy were OPP
ponents on the mound and both pitch
ed fine game. The Krell-French out
fit simply had the horse shoes with it
in a batting way, and it seemed that
whenever it hit the ball the sphere
went to safe territory. while with the
Grays, the men placed their hits right
in the fielders' hands. New Castle
men had the best batting eyes and
therefore won the game. In the third
frame Lacy grounded to Conner safe
Cummine flied out to Shiverdecker.
Lacy stole second. Ritter grounded
to Shiverdecker, out. Fiant ground
ed to right for two bags. scoring Lacy
Anderson grounded to left, Fiant scor-
ed, for three bags and was out at home.
There was nothing more doing in the
scoring line until the seventh, when
Ritter slammed a hot grounder to left
for two bags, scoring Cummins, who
had walked and stole second. Fiant
hit to right for two bags, scoring Rit-
ter. Kehoe sent a hot grounder to
right and was safe, Fiant scoring Ham
ilton, then flied out to Caldwell and re-
tired the side.
The defeat of the Grays reflected no
discredit on their ability to play the
game. 1t was generally remarked by
the Flower City admirers of the sport,
that this was the best game ever wit
messed in that city. The score by in
nings follows:
Grays :. .... o O o 0 o % 0 90

DESTROYS of getting the best thought of
the party in the framing of what is
considered the most important plat
form the party has put out since the
one on which Lincoln was nominated
in 1860. The one of 1896 had only one
leading feature-the gold plank-but
the one of 1908 will have number.
Postal Savings Bank Plank.
The postal savings bank plank re-
ceived a good deal of attention yester-
day afternoon at number of the con-
ferences which were held in Mr.. Ellis
room at the Annex. Samuel Gompers
of the American Federation of Labor
was also a visitor to talk over the la
Dor planks. 1t is these labor planks
particularly the anti-injunction one,
which are making the most trouble.
There is opposition to a postal saw
ings banl- plank, but it is scattering.
There does not seem to be any organi-
cation to it. The bankers, who are
naturally the most directly interested.
have up - date shown no desire TO
mix up. AID nobody else is interfering
except il general way. But a con-
siderable number of the more conser-
vative members of the party think
that postal savings banks would be a
bad thing.
1t is certainty the democratic plat
form will have postal savings bank
plank in it. The feeling is the repub-
lican party will have to acknowledge
this popular demand and accede to it.

A Terrible Punish m mt.

Herr Hager, wealthy and absent
minded banker who lived in Berlin
many years ago, frequently had watch
es picked from his pocket. At first he
had recourse to all kinds of safety
chains; then one fine morning he took
no precaution whatever and quietly al
lowed himself to be robbed. At night
on returning from business, he took UP
the evening paper, when he uttered ar
exclamation of delight. A watch had
exploded in mans hands. The hands

left eye gone. The crafty banker had
filled the watch case with dynamite
which exploded during the operation OF
