Seven Runs IN Seven Minutes
Tdke All the Fight Out
of Oaks
STANDING OF THE CLUBS
By w. J. SIaffery

Lie way the Angels went atter tnat
Oakland team IN the first inning of the
game across the bay yesterday after
noon drove the fans out of the lot be-
fore even the first spasm of the agony
was at an end. Any one who was not
there can easily imagine the feelings Of
the Oakland fans, If they care to glance
at the score. which shows that Dillon
and his southern band gathered no less
than seven runs inside of seven min
utes. Figure out what a chance a ball
team like the Oaks had to Offset this.
Though it was the first game OF the
new series and the first appearance of
the Oakland nine on the home lot for a
couple OF weeks, the fans did not seem
at all glad to welcome the boys. Only
about half of the regular Tuesday aft
ernoon crowd reported, and most of
them busted themselves roasting the
players after the game had been tossed
off.
DELLAR PROVES EASY
Dellar. the young man who had not
lost a game up to couple OF weeks
ago, was trotted out in the vain hope
of mystifying the Angels in the first
game of the series But what a good
time they did give the big blonde.
Bingle, bingle, biff and wallop tell the
story OF the third of an inning that
Dellar lasted. While he worked four
Of the Angels came over. Most OF them
stung the ball safely and those who did
not either proflted by bases on balls or
errors, SO it was all the same.
After realizing that the Angels would
unquestionably be batting all night un-
less he got rid of Dellar, Cap Van Hal
tren chased the pitcher with only one
down and sent southpaw Johnny Hop
kfns in to face the slaughter. Though
he was supposed to have a lot OF stuff
guaranteed to send the Angels back to
the wilds, they seemed capable of wal
Looping him all the same and before the
inning was out they added three more
at Hopkins expense.
Naturally the game was transformed
into joke after that opening inning.
Neither the fans nor the Oakland play
ers seemed oscare whether the Angels
run totals ran into the millions or not.
Everybody was sore and instead of try
ing to square themselves with the fans
the Commuters fell down on many other
occasions. allowing the Los Angeles
tribe to annex three more and make it
an even 10 before the farce ended
ONLY SIGNS OF LIFE
The only time that Oakland showed
any signs Of life was In the third In
ming. when Heine Heitmuller walloped
1.-The ball out OF the lot via the left field
fence route, scoring Jimmy Smith, who
was on second. This hit was one of the
longest ever seen on the grounds and
produced a few cheers from the Oakland
rooters. Otherwise everything was suiet
and serene for the balance Of the game.
The score:

NOTES.

Ed Sharp went down with Col. Hep
burn, but he gave George Baker hard
race, and is the only man who ever ran
against Baker and had a majority In the
town of Leon.
The Reporter arranged for the bulle-
tinslon election night, which we're dis
played in the front window under a
special string Of electric lights, and the
whole street was crowded until after
midnight by big crowd anxious to hear
the returns.
AS usual The Reporter gave the first
returns to the waiting crowds and the
tabulated returns shown in the window
were correct and the only place in Leon
whore the returns were posted.
The defeat of Col. Hepburn takes out
much of the sting over the defeat of
Bryan.
The democrats of Decatur county lost
the sheriff but to Offset it they gained
the representative and clerk.
Cummins carried the city of Leon by
majority of 13 votes in the republi-
cans primary.
Many republicans refused to vote on
the primary for U. S. senator, as they
would not make oath that they had
supported the entire republican ticket.

Food Purity.

The National Pure Food authorities
at Washington are doing good work in
educating people to demand quality in
the food they buy. The magazines and
newspapers. are also taking up the issue
and emphasizing the need for care in
handling eatables.
This excellent work is measurably the
result of the establishment of the "Seal-
shipt' method Of handling Oysters, a
method and system which was some
years in advance of the present move-
ment for purity in foods.
"Sealshipt" Oysters are packed in a
galvanized steel container which is
then sealed. Ice is put around the con-
tainer but no ice or water touches the
oysters. The oysters are kept whole
and perfect and their natural flavor and
color are retained, as ice does not crush
them, nor does water bloat or bleach
them and "dope" is not needed to keep
them.
You will find "Sealshipt" Oysters in a
Pure White Porcelain Case which bears
the Blue "Sealshipt" Trade Mark. We
sell "Sealshipts" only.

In Decatur County.

The result of Tuesdays election in
Decatur county, is anything but salts
factory to the republicans, and is cor
respondingly pleasing to the democrats.
-Four years ago the republican majority
in Decatur county was S82. Two years
ago it was little over $50. At Tues
days election Taft has majority of
326. Col. Hepburn ran behind his
ticket all over Decatur county, jamie
son having majority in the county of
1872 votes, and is elected congressman
with majority of over $50 in the dis
trict. This is the severest blow of all,
for Hepburn had held the office of con-
gressman from the eighth district for
so many years that he thought he abso-
lutely owned the district and the office.
The democrats elect three county
officers, Hon. E. ]. Sankey for represen-
tatiye has a majority over Dye of 204,
George w. Baker defeated Ed Sharp for
county attorney by 1872, snd John Men
denhall defeated John Burns for clerk
by SO votes. The democrats had a
splendid ticket and the defeated candi-
dates have no reason to complain, for
they made gallant race, but tho ma.
jority of over 800 was too much to
overcome in view of the desperate
effort which was made to line up the
republicans to vote their ticke t
straight.

The General Results.

The great political battle Of 1908 has
been fought and that peerless advocate
of the principle that the people shall
rule has gone down in defeat, Taft be-
ing elected, carrying New York, Indiana
and Ohio along with the balance Of the
doubtful states with the exception of
Nebraska, Bryan carrying both the city
Of Lincoln and the state of Nebraska.
While the democratic party is defeated,
it is no new experience to them, and
the defeat this year will only serve as
stimulus for renewed efforts to secure
needed reforms. Bryan has lost no
friends by being defeated, and the
cause of the common people will be
carried on until right shall ultimately
triumph over money.

If The Reporter is a little shy on
local news this week please overlook it..
The editor has practically had no sleep
for two nights, being kept up receiving
and compiling the county returns, but
now that the election is over we will
settle down to business again.
Hepburn ran behind his ticket all
over Decatur county, and in fact all
over the district, Jameson carrying
eight OF the eleven counties in the dis
trict.
DR.. Fred A. Bowman, the democratic
candidate for state senator put up a
game fight, for he went into the fight
facing majority Of over 23OO, but he
cut his opponents majority down to less
than one-third Of this figure.
There were many scratched tickets
this year and the judges and clerks had
a hard time counting the tickets. 1t
was nearly daylight before the result
was known on the vote in Leon and
after noon on Wednesday before the
final result could be told on the county
ticket.
The republican majority in the three
wards of Leon this year was 40. -Four
years ago the republicans had major
lty OF ll5, and two years ago they had
101. Not bad.
Congressman Jameson went out of
Leon with clear majority of 80 votes
over Col. Hepburn. In the first ward
Hepburn had majority of 10, in the
second Jameson had 26 and in the third
Jameson had 80.
Leon did the right thing for Johnnie
Mendenhall, notwithstanding this was
the home of his opponent. In the first
ward Mendenhall had II majority, in
the second ward he had 50 and in the
third he tied Burns.
Hon. E. J. Sankey went out of Leon
with flying colors, carrying every ward
in the city. In the first he had ajor-
ity over Dye Of 1S, in the second a ma
jority of 81 and in the third majority
of "A.
DIR. Fred A. Bowman, while he is de-
feated for state senator made splendid
showing, running ahead of the demo-
cratic ticket in every precinct in Deca-
tur county except three. The full re-
turns have not been received but Brown
will have majority Of 700 to 900 in the
three counties, Decatur, Ringgold and
Union.

Leon Wins Again.

The Leon High School foot ball team
defeated the Garden Grove town team
on election day in this city, the score
being y to II.
Leon used several substitutes and
shifted their regular players about
good deal in the first half but in the
second half they used their regular
lineup.
In the second half McGinnis tried
drop kick but the kick was blocked and
was recovered by Eveland who raced rs
yards for touchdown.
The longest gain Of the Leon team
was made by Housh, he getting 35 yards
for touchdown.

As to State Senator.

While it is impossible to secure any
definate returns on state senator from
Union and Ringgold counties, it is con-
ceded that Capt. ]. D. Brown has defeat
ed DR.. Fred A. Bowman by majority OF
from 700 to 900. At the last election
the senatorial district returned repub-
lican majority Of 2300 and DR.. Bowman
went into the fight in the face of almost
overwhelming odds. He made game
fight, running far ahead OF his ticket
and there is no disgrace in being de.
feated under the circumstances.
