 when he swung vociferously with success and spanked the pellet into center field, upon which Johnson and MoGilvray taj- lied.
 Seeing that the lead could easily be overcome by a combination of safe hits the Gulls got busy in the third After O'Dell had lined out to Mcbride, Jacob son hit in the center field groove back near the fence McBride tucked his head and grabbed the pellet but Jacobson was then passing second. A perfect throw to Johnston improved the chance to get him at the home platter. Johnston threw per- fectly to Ellam who relayed with the same accuracy to the Cuban third sack CT. His wonderful arm probably saved a run. for the Castillian shot the pellet to Yantz just in time to catch the big sunfielder at the plate It was the most remarkable piece of work in the game.
 Scarcely had the big fellow died at home before Long cracked another hit to right field into the overflow crowd for two bases. Paulette failed to deliver however and the session ended after several ex- citing moments

Barons Cinch Battle

Then the noise started again and again the Barons nobly answered the command. Marcan opened with double over first base Carroll popped weakly to Walsh, after two unsuccessful attempts to sac rifce and Almeida struck out. Mcbride hit slashing single to center field, how ever, and Marcan crossed with the third score. The Barons were but one run be- hind and then Mcbride made ah easy theft of second. Then Large William singled to left field and Jacobson tried to catch Mcbride at the home plate. His heave came true but late and Mcbride was safe.
 This tally tied the game. Then the hefty first sacker made a daring theft of the keystone and counted when Jimmy Johnston singled to left field. Jacobson stopped the ball and attempted to catch Large William at the deciding station, but the throw was late. The ball got through the veteran receiver and Johnston was mounted upon third before 1t could be captured. Ellam drew his second sue cessivc pass and then stole second with Johnston perched upon the third hassock.
 Mickey Finn decided that this deluge had proceeded long enough and showed southpaw Cavet into the fray. Yantz hit weak pop fly between home and third which the lanky southpaw got his hands on and dropped Johnston crossed third in the mix up, while Eliam counted when Cavet heaved into the overflow crowd in an attempt to catch Yantz at first. Hardgrove's grounder ended the session.
 After this session both twirlers pitched highly successful ball. Hard grove allowed but one more hit during the next five innings, while Cavet all lowed but the same number. However, his wildness and Dunns inability to hold the sphere cost the Gulls the eighth and final run.
 Last Run Scored Tn the eighth session, with the field scarcely illuminated by the glow of the setting sun, Ellam was walked again. passed ball permitted him to take second, while Yantzs infield out advanced him to third By the usual brilliant fielding of Paulette on Hard groves grounder, E1lam was held at third but he scored when Dunn let an- other ball get by him.
 At this juncture Umpire Breitenstefn called the game after 2:S7 minutes Of thrills
 The fielding feature of the battle was a remarkable running eaten by Jimmy Johnston in the seventh inning of Starr's Texas leaguer. Although Jimmy is suffering from a slightly sprained ankle. he exhibited wonderful speed and caught the ball in his gloved hand at his shoetops at full speed.

CAMPING IN UNCLE SANS WOOD
LOTS.

1t is estimated that we'll on toward half
a million people enter the national forests
annually for recreation purposes. Prin-
cipally owing to the attraction furnished
by Pixies Peak. the Colorado forests take
the lead In popularity, with 10000 visi-
tors. California has over 100000, OF whom
half are credited to the Angeles. The
Tahoe. Sierra. and sequoia national for
ests are also popular resorts for Cali
fornians. Arizona, Oregon. Idaho, and
Montana are other States in which recre-
alton use OF the forests is heavy.
The administration and protection Of
these forests is in the hands of the for
est service Of the department OF agricul-
ture. and Is conducted not only with a
view 10 the utilization of their economic
resources. but also to make them serve
the public In every possible way.
The forest service works in cooperation
with State authorities to protect game
and fish and to restock streams and lakes
with trout An important part Of the
work Of the forest service LIS the con-
struction of trails. bridges, and roads to
make access easier into the remoter parts
of the forests. Where occasion calls for
1t, regular camping places are establish
ed and sometimes reservation OF sufficient
forage Is made for the saddle and pack
horses of campers
The use Of the national forests as recre-
alton grounds Is increasing steadily.
There is no better place for application
OF the motto See America First" than
| on the national forests.-Henry q. Graves.

Governor Wilson Favors Plan to
Have Them Receive P0liti-
cal Contributions.
WOULD 50 ELIMINATE EVIL
Gratifying Triumph to Re.estab.
lish Supremacy of the People
and Free Government from
Selfish Influences.

New York, Aug. 1S.-Banks and trust
companies throughout the country are
to be asked by the democratic ma
tional committee to receive and trans
nit to their proper source subscrip-
tlons to the campaign fund not only of
the De nocratic but of the Republican
and Progressive parties.
The plan is in pursuance of the COM
mittee's popular subscription idea.
Acting Chairman McAdoo made 1t
known to-day by giving out state
mcnt embodying a letter which he an
nounced he had sent to every bank
and trust company In the United
States requesting them to agree to re-
ceive and transmit subscriptions to
each of the three national parties He
accompanied his letter to the banks
with a letter from Governor Woodrow
Wilson.
In his letter Mr.. McAdoo expressed the
idea that the popular subscription move
ment was directly in the line of freeing
presidential campaigns from the suspi-
cion of sinister Influences" and declared
that the Democratic party favored the
Financing of presidential campaigns by
the people themselves" He urged the
need of convenient and responsible agen-
cies for the receipt of subscriptions and
asked the banks and trust compa MES
TO perform the same patriotic service
that the newspapers already had under
taken.
! "Will You agree to receive and transmit
subscriptions to the democratic national
committee. the republican national and
progressive national committee" The lat
ter continued: Speaking for the demo-
lciatic national committee. | would not
Iask you to act for one unless for all
This must be patriotic service to the
public and not to any one party. Each
day a list of the banks agreeing to act
will he given to the press.
In order that you may know the
attitude of Governor Wilson in regard
to popular subscriptions enclose
copy of a letter from him on this sub
ject. just received"
The letter from Governor Wilson &c
Mr. McAdoo is as follows:
Sea Girt. " j., Aug. II.
Dear Mr.. McAdoo.
ITO bring about the election of 4
president through a campaign financed
by popular subscriptions would be a
distinct and gratifying triumph. II
would strikingly evidence the renew
ed supremacy of the people, and woul
mean the permanent emancipation d
our government from those selfish In.
fluences which have too long been re
lied upon to furnish the campaign
funds in return for favors to be he
slowed am in hearty sympath'
with every effort that NAV cOntrihut,
to such a result.
1.-THE idea back of the proposed con
trihutors' movement is thoroughly com
mendablc. and hope that YOU and YOU
: associates will push it and make 1t al
| effective instrument for the attainmen
of so praise worthy an object"
Very sincerely yours.
