Where do the men live who believe
that the Richmond management gave
the best article of baseball during
the last season that was possible? II
would be really refreshing to hear his
views on the matter, and The Times
Dispatch will publish any of the rea-
sons, providing they are cut down to
written. Such views would be worth
the reading, and it would probably give
light on the question as to whether
the Richmond management brought
dub after dub to Richmond to play
in the hope that find" would be dis
covered.

The fact that. the. purchase of the
Montreal franchise is Just above the
bility of the Richmond management
in regard to baseball The prettiest
thing about the matter is that If the
management does not give much
better article of baseball next season
than was handed out last season there
will be nobody to see whether it is
good or not. ficourse. the result will
be that there will be no baseball in
Richmond or there will be better base
ball here. If the owners do not give
better baseball they are going to lose
money on the proposition. and when
Richmond is in such position that
the management cannot help out the
other teams in the league there is
going to be trouble.
There is one big question in the
big leagues, and that question is as
to whether Ty Cobb can rest on his
laurels with his bad eye and still
beat out Lajoie In the batting averages.
Cobb and Lajoie are rather CLOSELY
punched for the automobile offered for
the highest batting average, and there
is a great big doubt as to which will
pull 1t down.

The frequent picking of an all-star

year, is really humorous. Every fan
thinks that he has the best team in
the world, and hands out the names
as If he were granting favor The
fact is that half the teams picked

another fact is that the teams picked

He puts Cobb next and Wagner on a

ses, on each of which is inscribed

licenses to Miss Conroy, but she has
not as yet announced her intentions,
telling both suitors she Is going to

advice.
Miss Conroy admits that she cares
a whole lot for both young men, but
says her affections for them are
equally divided. She intimates that
she would make no objection to
marrying n of them, but says she
does not think 1t would be proper to
take both.

CIiffwood Man Writes to the
Evening News of an Al
legged Attempt.
WERE AFTER TWO GIRLS

The EVENING NEWS today re-
ceived the following account of an
alleged attempt at kidnapping from
G. w. Durham, of Cliffwood:
On Sunday afternoon, August 81,
at about 4 o'clock, Isabelle Durham,
aged fifteen years, of C~liffwood, and
her cousin, Ethel Durham, aged
thirteen years, of Fords, while walk
ing on the stone road between Cliff
wood and Keyport, were stopped by
an automobile. The car contained
two men and two women. The
women were about forty years old,
tall and stout, and wore tan coats
and bonnets. One man was about
forty-five years old and wore a dark
moustache; he had on a black suit
of clothes. The other man was
about sixty years old and had a gray
moustache; he wore a tan auto coat.
The automobile was a black, five
seated car.
They accused the girls of throw
ing stones at them, which they de-
MED. The men said they would take
them to Perth Amboy and have
them arrested. The men then tried
to persuade the girls to go with them
in the automobile. The girls would
not go and started to walk away,
when the men sprang out and tried
to capture the girls. At this the
girls were so thoroughly frightened
that they ran into Mr.. John Marz's
house, which was nearby. The men
followed them to the door.
Mrs. MARI met them at the door
armed with the broom and demand
ed what they wanted. They said
they wanted the girls who ran in
there. They told her they were go
ing to arrest them and take them to
Perth Amboy for throwing stones at
their automobile. The girls still
kept inside and firmly denied throw
ing any stones. Finally one man
asked them to come outside as he
would not harm them and he wished
to talk to them. The girls then
went out with Mrs. MARI and again
denied throwing any stones. At this
the men grew so angry that they
threatened to slap them in the
mouth If they again denied it. Mrs.
MARI here threatened them so
strongly with the broom handle that
they left quickly.
1t is the opinion of most of the
people of Cliffwood that the stone
throwing question was only an ex-
cuse to capture the girls and escape
with them.
This incident it is hoped will pre-
vent other young girls from paying
any attention to strangers, and to
beware of strange automobiles of
his description or any other.

A Drink From the Well That Was Not
Appreciated.
The girl accepted the glass Of ice
water with a fcrvor In her words that
went away beyond the manner of or

YES" she confessed, II am deeply
grateful. You don't know what a bless
ing 1t is to be able to get a drink out
of a refrigerator-just open the door
and take it out. You see, I've been
visiting at me of those houses In the
country where the poetic old oaken
bucket still is on the job. Every time
l wanted a drink l had to get a knife
and a weight and a rope and a bucket
and a cup. l dug the lid Of the well
up with the knife. Then 1 adjusted
the weight on one side Of the bucket
SO It would tip " and take In water
when it hft the bottom. Then / drew
up the bucket, took a cupful of water,
cooled the rope, shut down the lid and
put the knife away again. All that for
Just u little drink!
"Onee we went out driving. We
found one well where we couldn't get
the lid up. We found another where
the rope was too short. l was just
dying for a drink by that time. so one
OF the boys held another upside down
