Most Innings Ever Played.

The longest game Of baseball ever
played in the world was contested be-
tween the Henry L. Pierce grammar
school of Dorchester and the Bennett
school Of Brighton this afternoon. For
rs innings both teams struggled for
supremacy, the Pierce school finally
winning out by the small score Of
to 8.
The game, which lasted more than
three hours. abounded in specaular
plays on the part of both teams.
Neither side scored until the third
inning when the Pierce school scored
two runs. but in their half the Ben
nett boys made three. This was even
ed up in the fourth by Pierce. Then
for % innings both sides went out
in order.
In the final inning the boys from
the Pierce school punched three hits,
sending the final and winning run
across the pan.
One remarkable feature Of the
game was the fact that both pitchers
stuck to the game until the finish, al
though both were asked to give way
to some Of the substitutes.
The longest professional league
game on record was played last year
at the Huntington avenue grounds
between the Bostons and Athletics,
the latter winning in the Gath.

Section Of the same law provides
that the inspection shall be made be-
fore first day of November each year.
We are planning to cover the entire

CUBANS HIDE MONEY.
Some Queer Places in Which People
Secrete Their Cash.

Although there are excellent saw
Ing banks in Cuba, for generations
the people have been accustomed to
secrete their cash. A traveller tells of
one hiding place in the birds house in
= tree. The Cuban's residence had
been looted a number of times during
the various revolutions, but the raid
ers had never suspected the birds
house in the tree. After the death of
the head Of the family the valuables
were removed by the children and
placed In the Havana bank. In an
other case the wall Of a building was
chosen. A man with considerable
patience followed out one of the
stones in this wall. Five days were
consumed In clipping out this hollow.
Within this hollow the little casket
containing jewels and money was
placed. Then stone slab had to be
cut to replace the front without show
ing any break. This required two
days more. The piece of stone was
slipped into place and sealed with ce-
ment. IN order to remove the stone
fresh tools were required each time.
But this hiding place served for years
and exists now.
one man thought he had found a
most effective hiding place when he
put shelf under the caves of his
house for holding the cas!: box. The
place was chosen partly because of
the existence Of small hornets nest
here. Robbers, as rule, will not
take much interest in searching
place in the vicinity of nest of
wasps or hornets. But the home Of
the insects grew, and after a few
months the nest expanded to the box,
and the owner could not get the box
without danger Of being stung. He
was obliged to hire two bee experts
20 come with nets and ladders and re-
move the box. wasp stung through
one mans mitt just as he grabbed the
box and the receptacle fell to the
pavement below and some small
pearls were scattered about the place.
Several hours were consumed in find
ing the lost valuables. The owner
vowed that he would place his valu-
ables in depository in Havana there
after
Another odd place for hiding a bag
of money was in a followed table
leg. Cuba is noted for it's ponderous
articles Of furniture. There are table
legs with ample space for following
secret chamber. Usually a tightly
fitting door is made and when this is
closed the bag is we'll concealed. The
hall stands are not overlooked in
some of the houses of the Spaniards
and Cubans. The natives of the coun-
try love to have plenty of hall light.
These hall lights are often fixed to
elaborate stands. One such stand
proved to be a very effective hiding
place for years, until one night the
house burned down and the money
went with it.-Philadelphia Ledger.
