Clayton. July 24.--(Special. )--In the
last game of the series here today
Clayton won, from Coffee Springs by a
forfeit of 9 to o. The visitors took
what Clayton people say was one Of
the slimest OF excuses and kicked on
n decision OF the umpire, Of their own
choice, and when he refused to reverse
they left the field. The true reason
for their refusal to play. according to
local people. being that the locals had
found Red" Smith. the star twirler,
and we're cracking hits safe to every
corner OF the field. six clean hits hav-
ing been made in the Ave and half

Now that the hard fought day IS ended
With laurels for the faithful few;
The cheering and the jeering blended
In praise blame that may be due:
Now that the score has been completed,
Beyond the shallow depths of fame
Among the Victors and Defeated
Well turn to those who played the game
Not In the losing the winning
Success nor failure for the day;
But from the battles first beginning
Well take their work D, play by play;
How well they tried--how they stood ready
Beyond the World SrowGs narrow sight
Welt lift our glasses, bravely steady,
And drink to those who fought the fight.
The game IL done-the hght completed
What matters now who reached the goalf
Alike the Victor and Defeated
Walt for the Final Scorers scroll
And those who look may read the story
OF star by star against each game,
Set over those with world-won glory

First Pretzels Made In America.

According. to information furnished
by an old historian the Rauch family

credit of having baked the first pref

March II, 1917.
1t is said that one John William
Rauch, by trade a weaver and Il maker
Of chip hats and brooms, was asked
by the Moravian congregation to take
up baking, as the town of LititZ was
in need of such help. He consented to
do so in connection with his trade.
One day an old German happened to
cali upon John Rauch and in return
for material assistance offered to teach
him the secret of making what he
called "bretzels.' They baked in a
small way at first for local trade.
Ambrose Rauch. the son of John.
was peddling brooms through the
country at the time aud prevailed upon
his father to allow him to offer pref
zels to the trade. They took imme-
dlately. and the fame Of this particu-
lar make soon spread throughout Lam

custom to serve the salty titbit with

with tasty cold snack in connection
