GARDIN Err.
coBeossEE S; HALLowELL 5.
Game at HaIIoweII Ends With Dispute
Over a Decision.


The Cobbossee Inn team of Gardiner
went to Hallowell Friday afternoon as
scheduled and played the strong team
of that place six INNINGS, but with
Gardiner ut the bat in the seventh and
with ono man down. Gardiner refused
to Stano for a decision by the unpire
at the plate and the game STONED
there.
The Gardiner team did not have its
regular players nor did the regular
players with them play their regular
positions. Talbot caught the game and
his place on second was filled by East
ran Morrell or Clason were unable to
go with the team to play first and
lark of Richmond filled in on this
position. Corbin also was among the
missing and Spinney was utilized in
light field, Blair going to center.
However with the patched-up team.
he boys played fast ball, getting IL
hits off Patten and making but one
error Capt. Perry was a fiend at the
bat making three two-base hits with
a total of seven bases. Shepherd also
connected with speedy one labeled
wo bases. Moore held the Hallowell
EATERS down to six hits, but they
managed to bunch them pretty well
md secured four of their five runs in
me inning-the fourth.
The trouble started almost before the
game began because Hallowell did not
lave an umpire on the grounds. AS
! favor to both teams. Jerry Burgess

less the utmost caution was taken to
prevent double taxation.
After the departure of the Demo-
Gratis, the Republican conferees talked
for short time without taking up the
bill They agreed that it might be ad-
visable to appoint sub-conferees to
consider portions of the bill where the
phraseology is vital. This never has
been done in previous cases on tariff
legislation, but 1t is believed that this
course will facilitate making reports.

scented TO umpire and do the best he
toulu but from the minute he gained
the title of umpire" he was in, trou-
bic continually and at the conclusion
of the third inning refused to continue
in that capacity and retired to the
bench
Hallowell then decided to use one of
their players and accordingly called in
Patterson from deep center field and
shifted Gilley from third base to his po-
sition and trotted Fish out of the stall
to cover the territory around third and
then the game, started again, but not
peacefully-balls and strikes were argued
over by the umpire and players, and de-
cisions on bases were disputed, and with
one man down in the seventh Capt. Per-
ry came home on a single to extreme
right by Chase and was apparently safe
beyond a doubt. but Umpire Patterson
refused to see 1t in that light and called
him "out" and the game stopped then and
there.
When the crowd had been put back on
the side lines Gardiner was for continu-
ing the game, but Hallowell left and Gar
diner claimed the game to O. At the
time when the game ended Moore was in
position at the plate to bat and two men
were on bases, but when Gardiner saw
that Hallowell did not intend to finish
the game they picked up their bats and
also left. The Cobbossee Inn boys are
sorry that the game should end in such
an abrupt manner but feel that they did
their best to have the game continue
and give the patrons their full nine in

FALL OF TOM JOHNSON
 ACCOMPLISHED 1T LAST
HIS DEFEAT FOR MAYOR BY Aooo
He Hastened to Announce That He
 Was Not Done Running.

Cleveland. ohio. Nov. 2.-Tom l.. Johnson. four terms mayor of Cleve- land. was defeated today by Herman C, Baehr, the republican county recorder. Unofficial returns from approximately half the city indicated that Baeur's plurality over Johnson would run 4.00o and might run to 5000. Johnson early conceded his defeat by 1.50O. With him probably went the bulk of the democratic ticket. those councilmen who have been conspicious in their support of his street railway program suffering the most.
 Herman Baehr. the first republican to be elected mayor of Cleveland in ten years. declared his election due to the dissatisfaction of the people with the methods in handling the city business. The mayor in conceding his defeat, an nounced that he would be a candidate for mayor two years hence. Rumors that he would remove to New York were denied by his friends, but John son did not comment on them.
 The election of Baehr, is believed to mean the certain settlement of the long street railway war which Johnson be- gan eight years ago when he demanded a three cent fare. Baehr pledged him. self to a settlement on the basis of a six per cent return on the stock of the Cleveland Street company. all earnings over that to go to the reduction of fares and improvement of the service.
 The acceptance by the voters of the proposed seventy-five year franchise for a subway system was indicated by the early returns.

dren, first attained prominence in con nection with the taxpayers suit which he caused to be brought against Hugh Mclaughlin. the one-time dem ocratic boss of Brooklyn, in the course of which he saved the city $1.000.000 In similar suit against the Brooklyn Elevated Railways he collected another million for the city in back taxes. In 1893 he was elected to the state su- preme court and while a member of the court broke the power of John Y. McKane. the boss of Coney Island. and sent him to Sing Sing for election frauds.
 He supported Bryan in his first cam paign and Hearst for governor in 1906. His pressing of the charges against Police Commissioner Bingham. grow ing out of the Duffy case. involving the right of the police to hold the pie ture of an /unconvicted person in the rogues' gallery. led directly to the re- moval of Bingham and brought Gay nor into renewed public attention just before the fall campaign opened.
 Although many arrests were made for violations of the election law, the greater part of these were found to be due to clerical errors or misunder- standings. The professional repeater and guerilla were notable by their ab- sence. Credit for this satisfactory state of affairs was given largely by the new signature law. put into prac- tice for the first time in a New York municipal election. Under this law every voter after receiving his ballot is compelled to write his name and have it compared with the signature which he made at the time of registra- ton.
 Every polling place had it's full quo ta of watchers. including 2e00 college students from Columbia, Yale and Princeton, and sother nearby institu- tions. distributed throughout the greater city. Squads of ~plain clothes scouts and detectives were ready for any emergency.
 Robert A. Taft. the presidents son, was among the earliest college men to volunteer as a watcher. He was sta- tioned early in the day at Third av- enue polling place. His presence, how ever, proved such an attraction that the police were called updh to disperse the spectators and young Taft was transferred to work as a republican scout"
 Herbert Parsons. the republican county chairman, said the election has been the hardest fought municipal contest ever held in New York. Tt is true it has been quiet election" he said. but there has been much crook edness and l think we shall hear more of this later. Our watchers reported all day long that ballots had been found already marked with the cross in the democratic columns before be- ing handed to voters. There were oth- CT peculiar things going on. too; how generally l cannot say at this time"
