but the game was too sided to be in
teresting. Fairfield put a coat of white
wash on Fort Preble. shutting them out
by score of II to o. There were a few
innings when 1t was good game to
watch. but all Fairfield had to do was to
put on extra steam and they batted in
runs at will
Fairfield got good start, getting three
runs in the first inning. Leavitt, the Fort
Preble pitcher. walked the first two men
and Wilson with a hit brought in one
run. Loose playing allowed Allen and
Rawson to score. Leavitt then steadied
and for six innings had the heavy Fair
field batters at his mercy, allowing but
one hit. But he soon lost his control and
In the eighth inning Fairfield started
things rolling. Four runs came in the
eighth inning. In the ninth they repeated
the trick and brought in five. Six hits off
the soldier pitcher and loose fielding were
accountable. Abbott started with three
bagger and Wilson followed with home
run.
Moore. the Fairfield pitcher. was given
great support and did not have to exert
himself. Only one man reached third
base. His hits were all scattered.
The features of the game were the bat

lis Players Draft
ed by Big Leagues

Cincinnati, Ohio, Sept. 1.-One hun
dred and fifteen minor league players
were drafted by the sixteen clubs OF
the two major leagues when the Ma
tional Baseball Commission League
got only 4S.
The Brooklyn National League led
with Is players: the New York Ma
tionals were the next with 13 jlayers:
Philadelphia Nationals had II. and
Chicago Nationals eleven players. The
Chicago Americans secured ten. The
others ranged downward to single
player by Detroit and this one is un-
der investigation. so that Detroit may
come out empty-handed in the draw.
St Louis National did not secure a
player. A little less than $125.000 was
deposited with Secretary Bruce of the
commission to cover the drafts.
Before the opening of the drafts,
the dra wing Of the lots and the award
ing of the players, the commission
held a long session in which they
placed a ban upon the contemplated
series between two all-star teams from
the American and the National
Leagues, scheduled to make tour of
the country after the worlds cham
pionship series was completed. No
specific reasons for the ban were given
except that it would interfere greatly
with the worlds series.
All doubt that the worlds series
would take place was banished when
the commission notified President
Thomas Lynch of the National League
to arrange his schedule in such way
as to make the worlds series possible
as early as possible.
Other decisions were:
Player Fletcher WAS awarded to
Brooklyn: Coakley was allowed to
play with Elmira until his case was
decided: Yates was declared a free
agent. but his claim against the St
Louis Nationals was disallowed.
Players were drafted and secured by
the Boston clubs as follows:
BY Boston Nationals: From ST.
Paul. Josh Clark; from Baltimore
Goode: from Birmingham. Elliott;
from Roanoke. Spratt.
BY Boston Americans: From Oak
land. Thomas; from Omaha. Riggert;
from Duluth, G. Anderson: from Fall
River, Bedient; from Spokane, Killilay;
from Columbus, Ga, Mcleod: from AL
bany. O'Rourke
The draft by the Boston Americans
of McTighe from New Bedford was set
aside on account of his having been
previously purchased under an ap-
proved agreement filed with the Ma
tional Commission.

5000 HOMELESS
Through Evictions in the
CIoakmakers Strike.
.110O Cases Docketed Thurs
day in New York City Court.


New York, Sept. 1.-One thousand
and one hundred cases of eviction
were docketed in the second district
municipal court today.
Idleness, hunger, misery and sick
ness walk the West side, because of
the cloakmakers' strike, which still
persists despite injunctions and at
tempts at arbitration.
1t is estimated that 5000 women and
children are homeless, because of to-
days proceedings alone.
Thousands of other cases are in
preparation.
The magistrate gave the unfortu-
mates from two days to week OF
grace, but it was only makeshift'
for they have no money and no expec-
tations of money.
Occasionally, when there was sick
ness in a family. counsel for the
Strikers Union stepped in and guar
anteed the rent.

PERPETUAL MOTION IN CLOCKS.
English Electrician Makes a Remark
able Discovery.

An astonishing claim comes from
burton-on- England, where
Mr.. r. Bentley says that he has solved
the problem of perpetual motion fof
stationary clocks.
He was awarded a gold medal at
Liverpool in 1902 for a clock which has
not been wound in ten years. and is
still going. The latest invention.
which eclipses that clock, is actuated
by electricity secured direct from the
earth, without battery, and its life de-
pends on the almost frictionless work
ing parts.
The clock is undoubtedly a marvel OF
ingenuity, and the inventor who mas
spent much time in considering meth
DDS of applying negative and positive
currents, is an electrician of some
note. The clock. which started many
months ago. has never stopped once,
and it is the marvel of all who see H.
for, without the usual working parts ot
a spring timepiece. the pendulum
swings merrily on without apparent
cause, being driven back from side u
side through electrical agency. the
wires going direct into the earth.
Mr.. Bentley will not disclose how ne
achieves the singular result. ana
awaiting full patent recognition. pu.
there the clock is. and If any .attemps
is made to stop it instantly the pres
sure is released the ticking goes on a.
before.

the motive power remaining constan.
and unchanged should insure absolute
ly correct timea Making every also"

O'Rourke plans for raising the battle
ship, which have been pressed upon
the engineers and which were explain
ed to President Taft at Beverly, Mass.
this week, believing that the plan
would give the board the proper op-
portunity to determine whether the
Maine was blown up by an explosion
from without or within the ship.
The O'Rourke plan provides for the
raising of the Maine by placing
cables underneath the wreck and lift
ing her bodily out of the water. The
army engineers are said to favor the
construction of caissons around the
wreck and the raising of the wreck
by that means.
