THE NATIONAL GAME,

II was said that ten soft and soaky
gray October days have completely
. cooled the ardor of the baseball fans
of the east; but they came to time in
good form Tuesday. and it is not
apparent that the receipts OF the hon
ors win be any less.
Baseball is our most sensat ional
game. Read the following extracts
from letter from the west:
Among towns and cities baseball
mad. Chicago won a foremost place
with the record of 9s.359 paid admis-
stems TO the Sox-Cubs series. 5000
more fans than saw the game between
the New York and Philadelphia teams
in 1895.
The next best is Bloomingdale,
Mich. popula ton 700, where enthus-
iasm created by a town team that won
the state championship reached such
fever heat this year that merchants
closed their stores on days when games
were played and farmers who went to
town to trade either returned empty
handed or remained to watch the
game.
The attendance at the western city
championship series nearly equalled
the world series games of 1906 in
which the Sox and Cubs played six
games. when se.s64 passed the turn
stiles.
The figures for 1907 and 1908. when
the Cubs played the Tigers, were away
below those made in Chicago this
year
The 1907 series drew only 7S,06s

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
An Explanation in Order

Mr.. Editor In recent issue L
noticed the statement that the 1f-infh
pipe line now being laid in West Main
street was to- be continued over the
track of the G. Y. railroad by two g.
inch pipes. This seems a strange bit
of engineering. Is it not true that it
would require four S-inch pipes to to-
tai the same capacity as l6inch
pipe? Would it not be safe to add
another S-inch pipe TO compensate fol
the, increased friction of the water
in passing through the smaller pipes?
After experf ing so much money 70
obtain an adequate water supply, Is
it not absurd to choke the capacity by
such a plan as that described in your
item Why not carry the 16inch line
across the bridge instead of beneath
it, as is frequently done elsewhere?
The PRESSURE may be maintained, I'M
der normal conditions, in the center
of the city, by the proposed method:
but the capacity is lacking, and a
great fire calls for capacity III the wa
ter supply. / am not an engineer, but
this l,an does not appeal 20 my me-
chanical judgment. Perhaps some one
can explain this apparent blunder.

A DECISION OVERTURNED.

1t is not surprising, outside OF Mas
sachusetts, that the superior court has
overturned the decision of the lower
court in Plymouth county, Mass, in
the case against Thomas Lawson, who
was found guilty of conducting lot
terry because he gave away a horse
and buggy as an attraction at a fair.
The tickets were given away and
there was no direct profit because of
the scheme. 1t was a part of the ad-
vertising plan and every person adj
mitted to the grounds paid not an ex-
ira penny upon his ticket or took any
chance except the chance imposed up
on him by this free gift. 1t was an
attraction and doubtless the fair as
sociation may have profited by the
plan; but it certainly came the near
est 70 giving something for nothing of
any scheme yet devised. $3.50
How a court could rule it was a
gift enterprise or lottery in the mean
ing of the law which it was alleged
TO have violated. without direct sale
of tickets or direct profits. is not
clear.
The gift Of any kind of a premium
in connection with advertising could
as well be called a chance game and
violation of the gift enterprise or lot
terry law.

GOOD DOCTRINE.

We all believe in more manhood
and fewer qrarrels. Strife has never
yet been classed among the pure and
digniied occupations whatever the
cause of it.
The Bridgeport Standard, referring
10 Governor Baldwin's recent address
in that city. says:
Governor Baldwin's opinion, ex-
pressed in his Bridgeport speech, that
there can he no problem in the way
OF labor trouble that should not be
settled before it comes To "A strike has
evoked widespread approval through
out the state. AS he says, in n strike,
those suffer most who can least afford
10 wait for a settlement, and the set
tlement should come without the
strike. That is good doctrine and
should prevail TO control Ia bor trou-
hles, and more and more it is coming
10 so prevail, We believe"
The Bulletin shares in the belief that
labor wars. so-called, will in a few
years be things of the past to read
about and wonder at There is no
reason why honorable differences and
demands should excite bad blood and
criminal acts. some of which are pros
equitable and some not

Try of this country have been tolerant

HAS HAD ENOUGH.

Mayor Tammany of Norwalk
considers that a long suffering public
should be relieved Of the asinine de-
vices Of political ballot makers and
since the October election he has come
out in favor of voting machines. He
is reported TO have said:
Under the laws of the state, vot-
ing machines may be adopted and
used by any municipality. SO much
confusion has resulted, from the adop-
ton and use OF the present form of
ballot. and so much time has been
consumed in making the count and ob
tanning results, that have come to the
conclusion that the ideal method of
voting is by using the voting ma
chine. When it takes six men from
five o'clock in the afternoon until
nine o'clock the succeeding morning
10 count about twelve hundred bal
lots, il seems imperative that there
should be a change in the method OF
balloting and counting"
Where such facts as these can be
put up sgainst a voting system, it does
not require any argument to show a
crying need for a change of methods.
There is no one in favor of the old
methods OF counting ballots in these
DAYS OF progress excepting those who
in some way profit or are profited by
this old. obsolete way of doing things
Since counting machines are as COM
mon in counting houses and banks as
writing machines, and are purchased
at high prices because they represent
both accuracy and despatch Most

tilted have been dickered with by "a

TRAPPING A WASHER.

Miss Nellie Gurfey of Wi1limantie
has won considerable fame by the COO
headed manner in which she landed a
married masher in the hands Of the
police on Saturday, Who, for his base
and .unbecoming conduct, was fined
s25 and costs by Judge Arnold.
The Waterbury American, in allud-
ing editorially to this case said:
las every one will agree, Whitman
tic is to be congratulated upon having
a Miss Gurley among its citizens
Most young women naturally SO shrink
from publicity under such circum-
stances that they allow such man &c
go unchalIenged unpublished. and I'M
published to the world. While UNI
doubtedly these cases are rare, much
| rarer than in foreign countries where
women do not enjoy the general re-
spect which attends them here, it is
nevertheless, probable that there are
many more of these cases than any
one has any idea of. Miss Gurley has
contributed Il noteworthy part toward
making Willimantic a better town to
live in, far safer town for young
women. Her example, s far as it is
made known through the press, will
doubtless encourage other young wo-
men uHutI SilHiisl SliCuiiiStdHCCS W w
as she did
And Willimantic is also to be con-
graduated on having Il judge who,
TO lend recognition and assistance
to respectable and insulted women in
bringing such culprits to justice, insists
on hearing the case in chambers. There
is NO reason why a lady under such
circumstances should be obliged to
meet a crowd of staring, curious cit
liens, most of whom are usually with
out occupation or the qualities which
mark gentlemen.

and pay any and every person render

people receiving the money for service
would own the money, and they could
go into the chicken business and sell
