There is in Katherine NJ. Abbott's
recent book, "Old Paths and Legends
of the New England Border little
story which illustrates the Importance
of accurate statement.
In SaybrOok, Conn, in the days OF
cottage prayer meetings one hundred
years ago, a lady directed her servant
to go to each neighbor and say that
Mrs. Bowles will have the prayer
meeting here tonight.
The servant carried out her instruc-
tions to the letter: Mrs. Bowles says
the prayer meeting will be here to-
night"
Accordingly, each lady arranged bel
chairs, put on her best gown, made
ready for the coming of the parson, ant
stayed at home.

 Weak hearts were in peril in the first inning for the locals. After Page had gone out. Speaker laid one down and beat 1t out. East walked. Con- ners shot drive over second base to- wards right field. Molesworth started running. but seemed to have no chance. The ball curved a bit Running at full speed, Molesworth clutched the sphere by a great reach. It was all that East could do to beat the throw back to first. Speaker took third, but was caught at the plate when he and East attempted a double steal.
 Molesworth gained applause again later in the game when he snatched Stark's line drive that looked good for three bases. Manning made a great catch of Pages short fly to right.
 Pages wallop in the ninth was clean-cut drive that counted three bases easily. Speaker flied to Molesworth and Page beat the throw home.

POINTERS ID RANDOM
BY HUGH w. ROBERTS.

The Barons dropped another game yes- terday.
 Turner yielded but two hits-the first an infield bunt, the second a three-sack- CT Buchanan, who worked for Little Rock, was touched up for 10 singles.
 The Travellers scored one run, all that could be expected from two hits so widely scattered The Barons, however failed to cross the rubber, although they stung the ball hard.
 That Buchanan kept his hits well scat tered is not a tenable reason for the Barons' defeat. In the first and second innings, the Barons hit safely five times and were granted one base on balls. In the second inning they got three hits and walk.
 The Barons were unfortunate. but the chances are that perfect ball playing, all though daring stunts were attempted, would have landed the game for Bir- mingham.
 Demont started the second inning with a single. Henline popped to East who purposely dropped the ball, according to the report of the game in this morning s Age-Herald, and threw Demont out at second. Walters singled and Henline reached the keystone.
 Henline then attempted to steal third and went out, Walters remaining on first. Turner was passed and Molesworth got the third hit of the inning.
 Walters was thrown out at the plate.
 Thus it happened that three hits and a base on balls in an inning netted no score.
 The Barons should have scored In the first After Molesworth had flied out Manning hit safely and stole second. Douglass hit to shortstop and Manning to at at third Then Meek singled.
 If Manning had remained on second but what's the use!
 There have been some strange stunts of umpiring in Little Rock since the Barons have been in Kavanaugh's city.
 Thursday, with Traveller on first and another on third Fleharty baked.
 OBrien allowed the man on third to score and the man on first to advance to second.
 The rule says that on a balk a base runner shall advance. It has no refer ence to base runners. It is obviously im- proper, therefore, for two men to have advanced on one balk.
 It is probable, too, that no man, ex- cepting cases in which all bases were oc- cupied, was ever scored on balk prior to Thursdays game.
 Yesterday With Demont on nrsl, Hen line popped to East. East dropped the ball--intentionally, according to the report of the official scorer-and threw Demont out at second.
 It would have seemed more proper had Fltzsmmons ruled that Henline was out and Demont entitled to remain on the first sack.
