test was an eight-inning affair, which
was the nearest to a nine-inning game

to a triple and single. Jack. who Is

as his curves and shoots were more effec-
tive yesterday than they have been for
several seasons.
Workman and Lowe were the only two
batters in the Marines lineup that could
connect with Jack Leonard's delivery.
Nuss did the singing for the Soldier
lads and he was trif1e wild, hitting two
men and passing three. He was touched
up for a total of nine bingles, most OF
which were timely swats.
Three Of the four errors the Churchnlen
made allowed men to be safe on the first
pillow.
Fats" CoTrigan's stick work proved
to be the feature Of the battle. He con-
nected for a double and two singles out
of four times up and also caught q good
game.
Maurice O'Connor added another star to
his squad by signing Chaplin. who last

II McMahn Of the Adams Express team.
which Is now at the top of the league,
keeps up at the rate that he has been
going in the last two games he will no
outs than any other amateur pitcher in
the city. In the hast two games he has
struck out .thirty-three men. Wednesday,
when his team beat out the Car Depart
ment for first place. he struck out fifteen,
while Saturday last. in an exhibition
game with Union Station. he struck out
eighteen, which is going to be q record in
amateur circles this year hard to beat.
McMahn's feat is only surpassed by
that of Forest Thompson. who in the
same league last year accomplished the
wonderful feat Of striking out % men In
one game. Thompson Is now playing sem
sational ball in the North Carolina State
League, with the Fayetteville, N. c.. club,
which he Joined few weeks ago. He
has pitched two games. winning both Of
them thus far. in one Of them shutting
out the Greenville club to O. Thompson
are all confident that he will make good
in fast company.
That the fight for the championship this
year in the Railroad League is to be the
the hardest yet is evident by the class of
ball the various teams are playing. At
present 1t looks like fight for first place
between the Adams team and the Car De-
pdrtment, Adams not having lost game
this year. while the Car Department re-
ceived It's first defeat a few days ago.
However. the Southern Railway team and
the Union Stations are not to be over
looked; neither are the Shopmen and the
Trainmen. all Of whom are fast rounding
into shape.
The game this afternoon will be between
the Union Station team and the Adams
Express boys. This game easily ought to
be one OF the best yet played, as Adams
has not lost a game and the Station boys
will. In railroad language, try to sidetrack
them.

Listen now. There aren't any more
country doctors, but such as live in
towns and serve the farmers will tell
you, the first thing they say about
their practice, that they collect ninety
five per cent of all their bills. It's
business with them. If old Jake Rine-
hart calls them up by phone some

ness Is business, you know.
There are no more country doctors.
Do you know why? You remember
how Uncle Doc fused with the n.y.
draulic ram; you remember how inter
ested he was in all kinds of farming
implements that saved labor. They
were clumsy things in his day, always
breaking down and getting out OF
kilter, but they have been gradually
improving until now their purpose is
well-nigh accomplished. They have
saved labor without a doubt. They
have made the farmers boy unneces-
sary, and have driven him to town
