PITCHER HENRY WEAkLEY HANDS FUTON
SHUT.OUT AND PULLS CAIRO UP HIGHER
TEAM BACKS HIM WITH ALM)Sr PERFECT TlELDING-CAIRO
PUNCHES HITS IN FOURTH AND EIGHTH INNINGS AND
MAKES NEARLY EVERY HIT COUNT FOR A TALLY

Pitcher Henry Weakley was never
in finer form than in yesterdays
game when, pitted against Pitcher
Humphreys of Fulton. star player,
shut out the visitors BY the score OF
5 to 0.
Weakley allowed number of hits,
nOtchoosing to wear himself out as
he must be in the box for at least
one more game of the series of six
with the Colonies. All Of his hits he
kept scattered and no one ever ran
from third towards home.
Once when he was in rather
difficult pinch he assisted in double
play when there were no outs and it
looked as if the visitors might score
Cairo made nearly all OF her hits
count for runs and punched in two
innings, the fourth and eighth,
when Pitcher Humphrey was an
easy one for them.
In the fourth Wolfe famed; Flood
doubled and went to third on Mills
single, scoring on Taylors bingle;
Taylor stole second and then he and
Mills scored on PARROTS single MAX
ing three runs for the inning and
then Kinser fouled to Schlensker and
Jantgen few out to Hart. In the
eighth Mills started the second dis
play of fire works with single and
was sacrificed on to second by Tay-
lor; Parrot was hit by pitched
ball but was not allowed his base by
Umpire Pierce and later flew out;
Umpire Pierce then disregarded his
precedent and allowed Kinser to
take first when hit by Humphrey and
Jantzen scored them both on a
double to right; Lewis ended the in
ming when he fouled out.
Umpire Pierce was again in charge
much to the dissatisfaction of both
teams and the spectators. Some of
the fans cashed in their tickets,
when after purchasing, they learned
Pierce was to be the referee despite
the efforts made by both sidse to put
two players in charge OF the game,
Many did not even go to the park
who would nave attended otherwise
knowing he was to be the umpire,
One time in the eighth inning
when Parrott was not allowed his
base by being hit and when Kinser
was also hit by a pitched ball he
pretended that 1t was some time be-
fore he knew he was to be allowed
his base.
Umpire Pierce managed to get
through the game without fining any

northwestern Italy. No one knows
how much marble Is contained In this
range OF Italian mountains Though
they have been opened for 1000 years,
and, as stated. the mining methods
are attended with enormous waste, 1t
is known that vast beds OF the marble
still exist. BY digging longer and
longer tunnels and shafts an mex
haustible supply can be obtained, for
the beds are so extensive that some
of the mines are worked at height
OF over mile above the sea, while
many OF the workings are over 1000
feet above the sea. This is great
advantage to the Italians, however,
because methods are still In use In
ouarrying ara getting out the marble
which are hundreds OF years old. But
little advantage has been taken OF
the modern labor-saving machinery,
such as electric and compressed air

being steel bars and chisels, mallets,
