night.

to give him the privilege of giving a

to it.
The Tenders is operated on the
pilot principle and may be termed a
rope netted pilot with an automatic
hammock retainer, This principle of
it is brought into use when person
is struck by car while standing
and is such that the person in falling
against the fender is caught up by
the automatic hammock
To safe guard life when a person
has fallen on the track what is known
as an automatic life sheet picker is
brought into use This consists of a
wheel guard which keeps the person
from going under the wheels of the
car until the picker can get into
position to gather him up, and sally
carry him along until the car can be
slonred.

Shame on you Ira! YOU'RE to

Never mind, it was the cracker
jack game of the season. anyway,
even if we did lose. 1t ties us up
with the Derbies in the race for the
pennant and l guess we won't do
much to them when they come up
here next Sunday.
1t all happened in the first of the
ninth, when the game was already
| tucked away in Salem's hip pocket,
but there's many a slip, etc. Lo-
| dell scored a hit, when Humphreys
| played in too close on a bounder.
| Turk hit a liner into Hamilton, which
bounced gracefully, or rather dis
gracefully from his hands and he
missed a peach of a chance for a
double. Lucky famed. McIlwain
hit over first and Hamilton booted
it, allowing Lodell to score. Stone
fouled out to Fay. Rupert scratched
hit over first, scoring Turk and
| McIlwain.
AT any rate It was a peach if we
did lose, to 8, and Soldier Meier
pitched a masterful game, allowing
only five scattering hits, two of
which were illegitimate, while Salem
touched up Witherbotham for total
of nine clean hits, two of which, by
Kay and Mickels, wore two-baggers.
Taylor and Lodell each scored two
baggers off Meier. The game was
replete with exciting features, among
which was the cleY 7 baserunning of
Fay, Kay and White, a double play
pulled off by Shorey, unassisted, and
the splendid pitching cf Soldier
