At Bombay, British India, the chief

London, Dec. 22.-There is natur.

The Pioneers won game Friday and
one Saturday from the Lawmakers,
and by so doing kept in striking dis
lance of the flag. The first game was
a slow affair and was won by the Pho
ueers by :Le score Of 6 TO ,. Cornell
ana Creager were the opposing pitchers
and Creager was by odds the best. lie
allowed only FIVE hits and was never in
danger. On the other hand, Cornell
was not at his best and the Pioneers
'oInd him for ten hits. The fielding o.
Krug and Welch was the most brilliant
seen here this season and their YoIk
blasted many OF Fraukfort's hope.
The game Saturday Was a farce. the

the Pioneers were doing all this hitting

Hoodoo Still AT Work.

The hoodoo which has flllowed the
Pioneers throughout the seasCn with
regard to Sunday games, and especial
ly with Lexington, was still at work
Sunday aud as a consequence the
Pioneers went down in defeat at The
hands Of the Colts by the score OF 4 to
3 in au eleven inning game. The
Pioneers started out like they meant
70 win the game early, the score stanG-
ing to in the third inning, but be-
fore the sixth-was reached the Colts
bad forged to the font by one run.
Our boys tied it up in the eighth and
it stood this way until the eleventh
when with two out runner was
allowed to get home with the winning
run. If all reports are true, that run
was worth 500 to the Lexington team,
for it is said that Sonny" Thomas had
agreed to pay that sum to Lexington
players for a victory. Pretty costly
pennant, but some people seem to have
money to throw away.
Golden was in the box for Richmond
and but for four costly errors by his
teammates, would have scored a
victory for he had the Colts at his
mercy, striking out ten of them. Rob
bins also pitched good ball, but didn't
deserve TO win.

Sensible Girls.

Harrodsburg Herald: The girls in
Kentucky town have organized
themselves in a society who have re-
fused to marry any man who drinks
u ses tobacco or refuses to take the
home paper. Drinking is regarded as
the greatest objection, tobacco chew
ing coming next. while the young
man who don't take the home paper
is regarded as not being intellectual.
While these Kentucky girls have
probably made freaks of themselves
by announcing in stentorian tones
what requirements are expected OF
the young men. who would seek theii
hands in matrimonv, yet it is fact
hat too many sell themselves entire

Break Eyen With Paris

Paris came over Monday for dou-
ble-h header ana the Pioneers took the
first game by the score Of . tod but Paris
got the second by the score CT IL to 3.
The first game was very good one
both sides playing very good ball. but
the second was the worst exhibition put
up by the Pioneers for many moons.
Mccormick and Wlnchell opposed
each other in the first game and honoTs
were about ev.n. Oar bows put up a
game fight, overcoming = lead of three
runs, sending four men scrosl the rub
Der in the sixth rOund Oh good, clean
hitting. The Bourbonites tied the score
IN the ninth, hIwever, and we had to
send another one over in our half of
the ninth in order to get the long end
OF the pnrse.
The second game started off with
Noah in the box for Richmond and
Poole for Paris. Noah did not last
long, the boys from Paris hitting his
delivery almost as they pleased. He
was taken out in the fourth round with
the score standing to and Creager
sent in. Sally" did not extend HIM
self, however, and runs continued to
cross the plate.
The only bright spots for Richmond
IN this game was the work of WEIGH

Paris.

Manual Training and Shop
Work For the Boys and
Young Men.

One Of the new courses at the East
ern Kentucky State Normal School /
this year will be that of Mechanical
Drawing and Manual Training. This
course should be Of special interest to
the high school students who are
contemplating taking an engineering
course.
The work in mechanical drawing
will begin in the most fundamental
manner and will be carried along by
easy steps to the more difficult work.
Any high school student or grammar
school student can take this work
without any trouble. In fact, any
one with knowledge Of fundamental
arithmetic, would find little difficulty
in the work. By devoting the regu-
lar school year to the drawing, the
average boy would find little trouble
in holding a position during the
summer doing tracing or detail work.
This work would have the double adj
vantage of furnishing a source of in
come and also giving the best posi-
bic practice. The manual training
will be conducted on the second floor
Of the New Power Building. This
entire floor space has been divided NJ
so as to make first class shop with
all tool rooms, wash rooms, etc. There
will be complete set of tools foI
each boy taking bench work, and also
plenty of space for him to do hiS
work in without interfering with any
one else. For the lathe work Their,
will be separate tools for each lath'
and such work viii be done as is usua
ia course of this kind. The shof
will be larger enough to accommodate,
about 80 students at ore time. and al
east two periods day can be giver
to the work. This work is invaluabl,

membered with pleasure by the en-
cheering student, when he enters
freshman. Citizens of Richmond are
invited to visit the department after
it is in operation.

BASE BALL
Notes and Gossip
Take Two From Hustlers.

The WinchesteTs came to tow u
Wednesday withblood in their eyes for
the last series Of the season with Rich
mond. On these two games depended
whether or not Richmond was to have
a chance for the pennant and each side
fought desperately, but luck favored
the Pioneers and they were the victors
in two of the most exciting games CT
the year. The score in the first one
was to e, due to the fine pitching Of
Mccormick and the timely stick-work
of Krug, Maloney and Mccormick
Grohe, Maloney aud Thoss also did
splendid work in the field. McCor
mick let the Hustlers down with only
four hits, two of them coming in the
second round when Ellis led off with 2
ripple and scored on Stouts single,
which was the only run they could get
over the rubber. Toney was on the
mound for the Hustlers and our boys
found him for seven hits. most of them
coming at times when badly needed.
In the second game. which was played
Thursday, two of the best pitchers in
he league opposed each other, Goldea
ior Richmond and Burden for Win
chester. 1t WAS strictly pitcher
hattie. bat errors behind Burden LEI
Richmond get two runs while Golden
was holding the enemy safe. 1t looked
on two or three different occasion as if

Golden was too much for them, an,
they fell short, and as a consequence
were shut out. Golden struck out
twelve men and allowed five hits, only
two of them coming together. Burden
struck out three and allowed only
three hits. The fielding OF Reid,
Goosetree and Barney for Winchester
and OF Welch, Maloney and Thos
featured the game.

WEDNESDAY, SEPT. Is 1909

In some quarters it may cause sur
prise to know while DR.. Frederick
Cooks feat in reaching the North
Pole will 60 down in history as one Of
mans greatest achievements, the
actual visiting of the pole will add
very little to the scientific knowledge
of the world concerning polar con-
ditions. II DR.. Cook had with him
at the time the proper instruments.
considerable light may be thrown up
on the magnetic influence of the pole,
but for practical purposes, h e
scientists of the world haye long
known about as much concering the
pole as If somebody had actually
visited it.
The quest for the pole which has
cost SO many lives and the expendi-
ture of so much money has really
been quest for adventure and to
attain thing that many wise men
have declared to be unattainable. Ii
probably gave DR.. Cook and his
party-or at least DR.. Cook himself,
for mis- Eskimo party" probably was
unable to comprehend much about
it-a thrill to stand upon the north
pole where time was not, as all
meridians meet there, aud where
man might stand with one foot on
one side of the earth and the other
foot on the opposite side.
1t will cause a trill in American |
breasts, too, to realize that it is the
Stars and Stripes that floats from the
pole.
Venturesome spirits now can only |
turn their attention to the discovery |
Of tn e South Pole. Lieutenant
Shackleton recently reached point
very near that extremity and just
near enough to make him confident
that it can be attained. After that |
has happened there will remain few
spots on the earth's surface that have
not been trod by the foot of civ
ilized man.
