Newark Scribe, Sore Over Digger's
: Double Win, Refuses to Describe

kNewark, July 1.-Two nice ball
games, all decorated and entwined
with bone headed errors foolish
plays and umpiracle decisions Of
Questionable quality nicely mount
"a on an ebony base. inlaid with
ptarls, all OF which borne on a
beautifully engraved silver platter,
were presented to the aggregation
N ball tossers from Marion, Ohio at
beautiful Wehrle Park Thursday af-
ter'noon. an immense throng, num-
berinly fully 500 persons witnessing
the highly impressive ceremonies
which attended the presentation.
The ceremonies were so very inn
pressive. that II Is doubtful If one
out of that great gathering will ever
forget IT, The Democratic National
convention dwindled away into signi-
finance when compared to this event
and IL has already gone down in the
history of the City OF Newark as
one of the greatest events OF the
decade.
Numerous times during the alter
tempted to interrupt the ceremonies
20 protest against this great honor
hut each time their effors were
ignored and the committee of ar
rsngemcnts consistirIy OF twelve
Newark ball players, gently punched
them back and went on with the
program, which bore all the ear
marks OF being carefully planned.
The plans were carried out without
q hitch except the several Interrupt
tions mentioned above. The net re-
suits of the afternoons work were
two games on the right side of the
account OF the Marion bunch.
With all sarcasm laid aside for
the time being, Newark got Just
what they deserved. the small end OF
the score in both games Not that
Marion should have been granted
the decision in both bouts but SIM
ply because the local players made
two or three bone headed plays
everx time Marion made one.
The reasons why Marion won are
too numerous TO mention and the
reasons why Newark should have
won. outnumbe the first by great
majority. II is like something which
every one has occasion to regret
and wants to forget 1t as soon so
the least said about II the better
aMsrion" batters got hits on fluke
plays that should go into the error
column but the rules forbid. New
ark base runners died on the paths
through other flukes that were too
disagrcehbe to talk about.
Even Umpire Handiboe caught
the infection aud called fair ball
on foul that three men tried TO
catch. all Of whom were outside the
foul line. the ball dropping in the
grass between them. He then tried
to even things up by favoring New
ark and consequently Marion suffer-
ed considerably.
Lefty Webb. who relieved Joe
Locke In the second unpleasantness
was the only player the spectators
could recall as having played
high class of ball He went in when
Marion was two runs to the good
end allowed but one scratch hit. He
woked hard but the damage had
already been done and couldn't be
undone., 81
Suffice It to say that the only
fhihg that did not suffer greatly was

FOR children to read. Bible literature
must be given to children with dis

Perhaps you were made wretched in

RECORD CREATED BY VOTERS.
More Than a Million Ballots Were
Cast.

Columbus, O.-Ohio polled a vote
that surpasses the million ballots de
posted four years ago, making a new
high record for Ohio voters.
Exact figures have been slow IN
coming In. The immense ballot which
had compelled the making of special
boxes and some increases in the
booths, was in part responsible for this
slowness, but the large number OF
Taft-Harmon votes cast caused much
of the difficulty.
Taft carried Ohio by probably over
10000, while Harmon seems to have
won by a safe margin.
Such figures as have been received
on minor candidates, although meager
indicate the probable victory of all
other republicans on the state ticket.
1t is reasonably sure that the three
constitutional amendments have fail
ed. not because of the proper proper
tion OF such votes, but because they
did not in the aggregate reach any
where near the required majority OF
all votes cast at this election.

Smokes and Tires.

John d. Rockefeller has one virtue
which even his greatest critics won't
deny him; He doesn't affect public
dinners. The secret of this abstinence
he recently confided to his family
physician.

can't eat much, as you know"
But you doa't have to eat at such
feasts," protested the doctor.
Pm aware Of that" replied j. D.,
but you do have to sit through the
speeches, and II there's anything |
dread it's that sort OF thing. To my
mind an after-dinner speech is like a
bicycle wheel; the longer the spoke
the greater the tire"
