CROSSING BRIDGES.

The New York Tribune is somewhat per-
turbed because Governor Marshall has failed to
ha se anything to say about the matssrs,of a
second term in the White House. and the
Washington Star reminds The Tribune that 1t
would not be in good taste at this time for
the Yice-presidential candidate to declare him
self in view of the fact that Governor Wilson

the convention city of this section OF the

others have not. This week the Virginia CAPT.

NOTES OF THE GAME

Ainsmith had a bad day. but perhaps
the presence of scores of his friends
was mostly to blame. He must have
been thinking Of that BANQUET which was
coming to him.
Alva Williams made a pretty good bid
for pinch hitter, and was robbed OF
a double by Gardners splendid stop in
the eighth.
The crowd enjoyed the Altrock-Schaef-
er combination. and Nick's shifty work
on the first bag during the practice
brought. down the house. A farcical
boxing match between him and Schaefer.
wherein Germany counts Nick out, also
proved a scream.
Milan did not get much chance TO
show his speed on the bases. but he
robbed Larry Gardner OF hit by a mar
velous running catch in the fourth.
That was a choilce collection OF names
that the announcer shouted out at vari-
Gus intervals-Gallia. Musser, and Her
ring. When Herring was announced as
the new pitcher some one yelled: What
ever became of Haddock?' It's a good
many years. though. since George Had
dock pitched for Washington.
The Nationals look very weak at sec
ond base. Laporte is a good hard stick
er, but Boston fans don't think he COW
ers as much ground as his own shadow.
The fans are waxing indignant over
the decision OF Ban Johnson which re-
duces Woods string OF consecutive vic
tories by one. II looks as though he
had balled things up by venturing into
controversies where official scorers fear
TO tread. Many believe that johnson
should not have been credited with that
defeat that caused so much discussion.

HERALD'S WORLDS
SERIES PARTY TO
HAVE GREAT TRIP
Best of Accommodations; Best Of
Seats at Games: Best of Every
thing at Herald's Expense.

The Baseball Contest has not begun to
reach it's full speed yet. but It is going
along SO fast that whole neighborhoods
and whole towns are deep in the work
of getting votes for favorite candidates.
The coupons are coming in more
rapidly and in bigger punches now. and
the subscriptions are also being received
in large numbers. This is having tho
effect Of boosting the standing OF the
different candidates and many changes
will be noticed in the list published to-
morrow. II you are one Of those who
are holding back your votes or SUD-
scriptions we advise you to turn them In
at once. Have them appear in the paper.
Boost your standing and get up among
the leaders. There is absolutely nothing
to be gained by holding them back. and.
perhaps, a big advantage by having
them published.
Where is there a real baseball fan who
would not jump at the chance OF making
a trip to the worlds series absolutely
free of all expense? There are twenty
such trips open Twenty fans will win
them. And these twenty fans will have
the time of their lives. Can you imagine
what II means to be a member OF a
party like this? Well. We know. and
believe us. there is going to be something
doing all the time. Why shouldn't
YOU be one of the twenty good fellows
who will have places on The Herald's
party? Nobody knows exactly where
they are going. Boston looks like
cinch. but in the National it's a different
story. But no matter where the party
goes they will have the best of travelling
accommodations and the best of seats
at the games. Everything will be looked
after and paid for by The Herald.
The contest does not close until October
3 II is really still in it's infancy. but
is becoming more interesting every day.
Keep your eye on the list that is pub
Iished every Sunday. Wednesday, and
FRIDAY. Some big changes and surprises
are coming of pretty soon. We are also
going to publish the pictures of some
Of the live ones in the near future. so
send yours in at once. 1t don't have
to be a work OF art. any kind of photo
will do We will return IL to YOU in ex-
actIy the same condition as when re-
ceived.
There is danger in delaying your vote
getting and there is every advantage in
an early start. You want to spread the
news OF your campaign everywhere and
get your friends 10 help you.
Get busy now-TO-DAY.
