BASE BALL RECORD
FOR THE PAST WEEK

Cleveland at johnson City, July IL.
1t seems that the soldiers have found
how to hit that pitcher Norman of
Cleveland's; he went in this game and
allowed four runs in the first inning
before they could get him out. PerriLt
held US down to two in the second,
which made seven in all. 1t looked
mighty like rain then and as our boys
did net want 10 lose this game on that
account they played fast without any
attempt to score for an inning or so
until the fifth. Cleveland got in two
In third but were held down pretty
we'll by Lee, In the fifth Pitts brought
in another for us by three Dagger,
scoring on wild pitch. 1t is we'll TO
note that out of four times at bat, Pitts
got four hits in this gone. Cleveland
tried to rally in the eighth but one
more run was all they could accom-
plish. The game was called in the
eighth on account of thesudden down
pour. Three base hits Bales, Pitts.
Two base hits Thrasher, Hedgepeth,
Pitts, Burton, Blackburn. Stolen bases

First game. Rose pitched good
game and we were unable to make safe
hits off of him. Kelly pitched good
game but by punching their hits the

hurt in running to first and Alexander
had his finger broken. Thompson of

1t was hard to lose this game; the
score was so close that Pope was hit
in the head and put out of the game in
the seventh, we did not give up hope
until the end. They made four runs
off Lee an the first but the Soldiers did
the same and evened things up. They
made two in the THIRD and then Kelly
went in and held them down pretty
well; they only made four hits off of
him. We had the game in the eighth
and one out in the ninth, but Hill
made a two-bagger, Williams went to

runs that we have to stop and count
them. The soldiers played half heart

The first indication those men had
that Mr. HARRISON didn't know the
state of affairs was when he turned
and faced them.

said gravely. Were a selfish lot. If
Miss Caruthers is a responsibility, let

tation Of lightness, as they put their

door. Dals retort, "Whose?" was lost
in the confusion, and we went into the
library. On the way Dallas managed
to speak to me.
IF HARRISON doesn't know, don't
tell him." he said IN an undertone.
He's queer duck, in some ways;
he mightn't think it funny"
Funny" I choked. It's the least
funny thing I ever experienced. De
ceiving that HARRISON man isn't so
bad-he thinks me crazy, anyhow.
He's been staring his eyes out at

German System Good.

Germany, said Mr.. Ingalls,, has no
rival in the industrial war, and that
country has the most advanced sys-
TEN of workmen's compensation. In
that country the employee does not
contribute to the accident feature, and
that same theory is presented in the
bill before the Wisconsin legislature.
In response to a query by Assembly
man Gettle, Mr.. ingalls, said that per
sons afflicted with Occupation dis
eases" might come within the bene-
fits of the act, although they are not
included in the present bill.
He further explained that the board,
operating under the proposed law,
will be situated In Madison and all
notices of a claim or objection to a
claim will be filed with this body,
which is given power to appoint local
examiners to report in specific cases.
Any person wishing to take case
into the circuit court would come to
Madison and operate through the
board Senator Linley considered this
a source of considerable expense. 1t
would be much cheaper, Mr.. Linley
thought, if the action could be started
locally. Mr.. Ingalls, said the presence
of many local boards would result in
too much confusion. Senator Husting
suggested that there might be local
boards and that their rulings IN a gen
eral way might be laid down by the
central body, thus eliminating the
confusion anticipated by Mr.. ingalls,,

PREACHED HIS BEST
CANDIDATE THOUGHT HE MADE
AN IMPRESSION.
sut He Should Have Heard the
Comments of the Flock He
Was So Anxious to
Shepherd.

The candidate has done his best
He believed that 1t had made a deep
impression on the church, before
which he was "candidating." He
might have changed his mind had he
heard the following comments on his
effort by the people as they passed
out of church or fingered for the aft
ernoon tea sort of chatter that OBJ
tains in some of our modern
churches:
We'll, how did you like him?"
Fairly well, but he amt no way up
to what dear Pastor Elder was"
Did you notice that he said eye
Their? l always hate to hear min
lister say that"
His deliy'ry want none too good.
I could not make out some of his
words"
Il didn't just like him having that
pink rose in his buttonhole. Looked a
little vain to me. like to see min
lister dress rather soberly."
Didn't his coat fit awfuIly? IA
you notice that the sleeves were too
long? And his trousers were too
short. I think that minister's dress
has lot to do with the impression
he makes"
81 can't bear to see a man with his
hair parted in the middle, and II he
should be called to US I wouldn't make
no bones Of telling him So"
Wasn't some Of that poetry he
quoted beautiful? I do love to hear
minister express himself in poetry"
Seemed to me he wasn't very deep.
When you come to think 1t over, he
didn't say much I hadn't heard be-
fore"
Seemed to me he was rather sing
song in his delivery. Didn't Pastor
Fourtherly have a beautiful delivery?
He never said much of anything, but
his delivery was SO beautiful that he
held you with it."
81 didn't like the way he hammered
the pulpit with his fist. like to see
minister calm and dignified in the pull
pit. Always makes more OF lasting
impression"
Did you notice the way he began
so lnany his sentences with And?
And I was just reading the other day
| that one should never begin a sent
ence with and"
Il didn't like the way he rolled up
his eyes. It seemed so sort of sane
timonious."
at didn't seem to me there was
much real spirituality in his sermon,
and I don't like a sermon unless it is
downright spiritual"
ST don't believe that he is the man
for u.s.
Seems to me that he's better suit
ed to some church where they don't
really expect much of the minister"
"If they called him I think that l
should take my letter to some other
| church"
Wasn't he Just splendid. think
his sermon was just lovely! Seems
to me he is just the man we are look
ing fort"
ST wouldn't want it said as coming
from me, but I have heard that he
didn't resign Of his own accord the
last pastorate he had. If his resigna-
| ton was asked for, seems to me we
ought to know the reasons why. -

VIII Danish Old Mexican Coins

The circulation of large 1-cent cop,
per coins, generally known as cen
tavos grandes," and also the scent
silver coins called "quintos, will
cease at the end of the year, and be
replaced on the first Of January with
new, small 1-cent pieces and the 9th
ers by scent nickel coins.
Owing to the announcement that
this money will soon be out of exist
ence, frequent incidents occur be
tween the public and the merchants,
especially in small stores, where they
refuse to take those coins and the
people are compelled to go to many
places before they take them.
To prevent such trouble, the banks
and the mint will exchange those
coins for new 1-cent and scent pieces,
and In order to prevent the lack of
change in the commercial transac-
tons and in the market, the mint will
strike a sufficient quantity to furnish
the public all that Is needed in Janu
airy of next year.-Mexico Herald.
