HOW THEY sTAND-BEFoRE AND AFTER ToDAY's GAME 9

Tacoma 2, Spokane 1.

ldCOmd q, SpOkdn0 L.
That's better. But Miles Net
eel nearly had the laugh on the
fans. The hard hitting Spokane
third baseman decided he would
work Baker for a base on balls
in the eighth. So he would be
busting off the plate while Baker
was winding up, and throwing
dust into the air as the ball
whizzed by.
. The fans kidded him, called him
a vaudeville actor. But 1t work
ed. He got Bakers goat and
walked to first.
And then
Baker threw wild to Fisher to
catch Netzel off first, and the Tex
an was star gazing when Fisher
returned the ball to him and by
that time Netzel was on third.
Two men flied out, fast fielding
holding the runner to third.
Then Netzel started home just
rs Baker was drawing his arm
back for the throw. Spencer was
going to grab the ball to touch
him out but Zimmepnan beat him
to 1t. driving a hard one to Eddie
Burns, which the little acting
shortstop threw wild and Netzel
walked to the bench, smiling
bland1y at the grandstand.
This was in the eighth and tied
the score.
{ In the eleventh the Indians
went at It to drive in the winning
run. They got total of three
men on bases, then Kraft famed.
Tacoma started the scoring with
singles by Abbott and Burns, a
base to Siebt, and long sacrifice
fly by Tauseher. They got their
other run almost exactly the same
way. Kennedy singled and Abbott
doubled, then Kraft passed Eddie
Burns and Fisher came through
with the sacrifice fly to thinner
man.

lis the purest sort Of nonsense.
They say COINS real purpose In
butting in asking for a meeting is
to thre5h out his trouble with Bob
Brown.
After the exhibition" in Van
couver last Friday Brown got out
a warrant for Ostdiek, who had
to duck down. He also barred
Joe Cohn from the park.
They didn't hold any meeting
and President Lindsay WASH t
fired yesterday, but things seem
to be in an unholy mess in league
politics. Shredder and Cohn both
went over to Seattle, as did Bob
Brown, but that's all.
Dugdale is blamed for breaking
up the plans.
Shredder denied that there was
any plan to dismiss Lindsay, but
it's undeniable that there's a lot
Of bad feeling around the mag
mates table.

The Guessers Busy.

The Sunday papers viii tell you
"all about it," \ swarm of newspa-
per men from other states are in
Maine this week. Their opinion is
worth no more than yours. and the
anan who tells you how the election is
going is a false alarm.
As many guesses are being made,
some one will have the privilege OF
saying Il told you so" The Kenne-
bee Journals reports are, perhaps, as
complete as any compiled and they
show 'opinion,' not proof.
The readers OF this paper are
urged to go to the polls ON Monday,
and VOTE. Vote No. trust to the
wisdom Of the Almighty. and be pre-
aared Tor surprises.

that | cannot vote IN Maine again,
but IS that cannot be, l want 70

conditions in many parts OF the coun-
try.
There are people who believe that
although a prohibitory Law is violat-
ed, license law in the same place
would be we'll enforced. That Is not
the lesson Of experience, II appears
to be universally true that liauor-desl-
ers are aw-breakers. Whether under
prohibition, or regulation by license.
high or low. the men who sell hduor
habitually disregard the law, ADJ
the laxer the Law. the less the regard
paid to it, A system allowing IL"
widest freedom TO the dealer does
not satisfy him-ae observes no re-
striction which he can violate
Under the strietcst of license sys-
TENS. as in Massachusetts. liquor Is
sold IN many no-license towns more
commonly than ia so-called vide
omen. towns in Maine while in wet
towns conditions are infinitely worse
than in any part of Maine. There is
more liquor sold, more drunkehnesS'
more crime. more misery. one OPEN
legalized saloon sells more liduor imam

Prohibition prohibits TO erea.ei
extent than license restricts Ne,'"-
er system is automatic in acuoh' put

The demand for statewide prohio'-

/ am glad to say that in all my travels
In license states including the states OF
Michigan. Idaho. Colorado, ILLINOIS, IN
diana. Ohio, kentucky, West Virginia,
New York and Pennsylvania, have
never seen as clean, moral, upright APP
pearng people as ] see In the cities and
towns of Maine have never seen i'll
the cities of any of these license states
such evidence of thrift as is manifested
by the great, solid. massive business
blocks in the cities of Maine and In the
We1l-paifitgd, WelTeouStfucteu, Dedutt-
full residences of her citizens, both In the
towns and in the country. Her young
men may successfully challenge COM
parison in dcneanor and appearance with
the young manhood of any license states
that ! have ever visited. In word her
buildings. her citizenship are but liV-
ing example, concrete atteStation OF the
wisdom of her fathers who wrote into
her organic law by their ballots the colt
stitntional prohibition of the liquor traf-
iic in this state
IN closing | may say | do not ordinarily
pay any attention to newspaper articles,
but one of the facts which forctbly i'm
pressed the wisdom of constitutional pro-
hibition Is the character and tone OF the
Watervillc Morning Sentinel, Wmch
while it is the most rabid pre-liquor
paper in the State of Maine that | have
seen, yet its uiterances are so above ana
beyond the matters contained In the pro-
luuor press of the license states that
would necessarily be impressed with the
wisdom of Names constitutional Provls-
ion prohibiting this traffic had | no other
evidence from which to form an opinion.
And for this reason. Ii for no other, |
should have been constrained to accept
your invitation to make this pubic utter
ance
i trust | have fully answered your tn
terrogations and being compelled by my
itinerary to leave Waterviie and be ii
other parts of the State where / shall not
have the opportunity or time probably
TO read your paper. / must submit the
foregoing as an end to the contro-
versy / am
Yours truly,
