made good his reputation. With the
crowd yelling frantically for a home
run Baker proved himself real hero
by smashing out terrific double to
left center, which started the winning
rally.
Eddie Collins, batting and fielding
hero Of the 1910 series, was also a
bright star Collins scored two sim
giles and a sacrifice hit in the four
times he was up. He scored all the
way from first base on Bakers sec
ond double in the fifth inning with the
fourth Athletic run.
BY winning this game the Athletics
took lead over the New York Giants
of three games to one in the cham
pionship series. If the Athletics win
at the polo grounds in New York the
series will terminate with a victory
for the Philadelphians Of four games
to one.
Bender, crafty, cool and steady,
started out to pitch the same brilliant
ball against McGraw's pennant chasers
as he exhibited in the opening game.
Although Bender was landed on for
a hard hit drive to right center by
Doyle in the first inning, Devore scor-
ing and Doyle coming home on Snod-
grass sacrifice, Mack's crafty Indian
only smiled, frightened up his belt and
retired the side without further dam
age. The attendance was 24,555.

A LITTLE VISIT IN
COL. E, P. GREEN'S PASTURE
1.-THE time when lilies blow

And clouds are highest up In air"
is the best time to go fishing and
tramping and gipseying generally.
This is the time when skies are bluest
and clouds are whitest and stillest and
every body loves to run away from
daily tasks.
a lew days ago, right after an early
breakfast, a CHEEKY voice came over
the phone saying: "Be ready right
away am going to take you out to
see the lotus blossoms while thew are
wide open"
NO one ever keeps a spirited auto
stamping impatiently at the gate. so
we were soon skimming along in the
cool breeze to Colonel Green's pretty
farm house on the Powder Springs road
where Mr.. and Mrs Frank Collier are
sojourning.
Mrs. Collier was on the front porch
and went with us across the road into
the green pasture which would be
called park in some places There
are so many kinds OF trees and flowers
growing without the interference of
any gardeners pruning shears. There
are tall stalks of mullen with their
Velvety leaves and deep yellow flowers
growing luxuriantly in the shade of
sweet-gum trees. Then there are great
royal purple thistles blooming in the
fierce heat and tangle of Cherokee
roses on a sunny slope. The foliage
OF these roses is a deep green, glossy
and thorny and the golden-hearted
flowers are like vestal virgins that
worship the sun. Their fragrance is
delicate and pure, but they wither
IN water and delight in the sun.
Within marshy depression in this
pasture is bed OF the Egyptian lotus
whose flowers close at noon. At eight
O'Clock in the morning, however, this
bit OF floral magnificence simply takes
your breath. Think of leaves, flowers.
buds and seed-pods on reed-like stems
SIX or eight feet tall, crowded closely
together, and standing perfectly still
as II growing leisurely in that land
where 1t is always afternoon"
The leaves are round and of all sizes
from a small saucer to some almost
big enough for a summer hat The
wide-open flowers are wonderfully
lovely with their pink and white
standings and deep golden hearts, but
the half open buds are too beautiful
for words. From their curves. as thew
droop over the leaves, you can see
where the idea Of the 'hobble'' skirt
might have originated. There are two
or three young matrons in Marietta
addicted to pink and white lingerie
frocks. One wears her skirts like a
hollyhock almost touching the ground
ard very becoming to her plumpness,
but the others appear in short skirts
showing their pretty slippers and
clinging at the hem like the closing
petals of lotus. They all wear big
hats with wide open pink roses on
them. No very slender woman should
wear narrow skirt.
Mr.. Green's pasture does not seem
to have any animals in it-at least
near the lotus marsh. II there we're
any hammocks under the trees near
those beautiful flowers visitors would
go to sleep IN them, overcome by the
"dreamful ease" Of place where such
luxurious lilies blow.
