Cottonwood with one earned RIM

That it is not the hen that
cackles the most that laws the
most corner stones. Neither
is the ball team that makes
the big noise" always the one
that takes best with the crowd.
That a base ball pennant is not
worth the winning if crooked
work and unsportsmanlike con-
duct is necessary to win it. The
cost of such a winning is too
great to be compensated by such
a prize.
That the teams in the prairie
league are now all pretty close
together and the results of Sun
days games will be watched
with interest. Just a little good
luck on the part of the weak
ones will put them all running
practically neck and neck again.

SONS EARNINGS
LURE TO DEATH
Pittsburg Woman Trying to
Save Money Probably Will
Die For It

Pittsburg, Pa. July pa mothers
desire to save the earnings of her
two elder sons from going up in smoke
when their home, at 279 Cotterton
heights, Germantown, caught fire,
may cost the life of Mrs. Anna Car
ney, So years old, who is reported
dying at the Germantown hospital
The woman sustained burns about
the arms, face and body in her rush
through the flames to where the mon
ey envelopes, received in the mills,
had been slowed away.
Leaps for Life
Peter Carney, the 9-year-old son
of Mrs. Carney, who was asleep in
the same room with his mother, is
elso dying at the hospital of burns
and internal injuries, the latter sus-
tanned by leap from second-story
window to the street below.
According to the members of the
fire department who are investigating
the blaze, mice nibbling matches in
the kitchen Of the two-story frame
building were responsible for the
blaze. 1t was not discovered until it
had burned it's way into the second
floor hallway, which separates the
mothers sleeping apartments from
that of her two older sons-Joseph,
20, and John, Is years of age.
Son Gave Alarm
1t was John who, upon being awak-
ened by the cracking Of the flames
in the hallway, gave the alarm.
He awoke his brother Joseph, but
both realized the foolhardiness of a
rush through the burning hallway to
their mothers bedroom. Instead they
shouted and awakened their mother
and brother Peter.
With the opening of the door from
the mothers room into the hallway,
the flames leaped across the thresh-
hold, igniting the carpets and hang
ings and licking up the furniture.
Mrs. Carney pushed Peter over the
window sill and shouted to the as
sembled crowd below to catch him.
In the excitement the little fellow
missed the outstretched hands, and
fell to the pavement where he was
picked up unconscious.
The patrol from Hsines street and
Germantown avenue police station
carried the injured lad to the hos
pital, while the district engineers

mother to the same institution.

cape by the rear windows of their
room.
While the fire was at it's height,
cries as of child were heard issu-
ing from the burning building. The
report spread at once that a baby
had been left in the burning home.
Policeman George Trott of the
Haines street station, rushed inside,
but was forced to retreat before the
scorching flames and binding smoke.
When the fire had been sbated some
what, Policeman Kromm, of the same
station, went through the house and
found the roasted body of pet dog
in the kitchen and the cries were ex-
planned.
The story told by the neighbors, re-
garding Mrs. Carney, is a truly pa

NET DEFEAT
Players Gamboled on the Green

Score Of 5 to 3

The Picketts. defeated the Park .Riv-
er nine on Sunday by score Of 8
to 3 in a game Of fifty-seven variety
baseball. The diamond at the Pick

Jupiter Pluvius and Sunday it re-
sembled a duck pond. The two teams
took to the long grass for the sched-
uled scramble and in spite of the
grass and other impediments maneged
to struggle through nine innings with
out making any more, or less, than
seven errors.
The Park River aggregation was
recruited from Grafton, Argyle, Minn.,
Devils Lake, U. N. D., and sundry
other points, but the consolidation
was not enough and Menzel wa= hit
all over the lot, letting in two scores
on wild pitches and passing three
men. The Pickett lineup also diff
fered from the regular aspect as Lud-
wig, Hallett and Evans were missing.
The locals started the scoring in
the first frame. Conmy buckled into
nice one for a single; Thompson
reached the keystone when left field
er dropped his fly, Spanton dumped
one along the third base line and
reached first safely on an infield hit.
With the bases drunk Chandler poked
one to the pitcher and Conmy was
caught hitting the high spots for
home, Chandler backing off the dia-
mond when the ball was relayed to
first. With two decorating the grass
bench Chieftain Roy with lordly mein
walked to the plate carefully, bearing
his most precious war club and-when
