ENRACED WOMEN
COAT GIRL IN TAR
Norwalk, Ohio, Club Members
Lure Firt to Woods and
Apply Pitch.

Norwalk, Ohio, Sept. 14.-Eight
matrons of Clarksfeld, 10 miles east
of Norwalk gave a tar and feather
party last Sunday night for a young
woman who had been audacious
enough to fiirt with their husbands.
The girl was induced to go walking
shortly after dusk by three members
of the tarring party. A short way up
the road five other women, in mails
attire, Joined them The party drag
ged the screaming victim to lonely
SPOT and, stripping her. administered
a coat of tar. Then they admonished
her to leave the neighborhood at once
or worse would follow"
Details of the tar party became
known yesterday. Those who applied
the tar were prominent in local social
circles, according to gossip.
The girls conduct has been matter
Of gossip for some time. Recently 1t
was discussed at a meeting OF the
Clarksfeld Woman's club. Much to
the surprise and chagrtn Of no less
than a dozen members Of the club,
the names of their husbands were
linked with the girl when the club
members began checking up" on the
| latter's actions. 1t is said that the
tar party was then planned and vigi-
lance committee OF eight selected to
carry out the plot.
! So carefully were the details arrang-
| ed that the action Of the women did
/ rot become public until today.
The girl has left for parts unknown
and it is unlikely that prosecutions

were peculiar, but at the same time
costly. only in damage 10 property and
not human life Back in 1881 there
were some mighty heavy rains. and it
was necessary for stock trains to be
sent around circuitous route in order
10 get them TO their destination. One
day, three long stock trains were sent
out. and Mr.. Carl was in the lead. AS
he numbered down the Cambridge hill
at a slow rate, he saw the bridge
was gone, and so brought his train TO
a stop. The next train was following
so close by that 1t crashed into the
first train, while the third train was so
close by the second train that it crash
ed into it. The result was that hun
dreds of heads of cattle were killed
and many cars were turned into value
less masses of broken lumber and
twisted metal.
Four years before that, Mr.. Carl car
ried a train across a washout near
Mineral With the exception of less
than two feet of rail. the track for 10
yards had no bearings under it. Only
two sleepers were ditched. One was
turned completely over, while the 9th.

BEDlENTs OF RED SOx
 LOOKS LIKE GREAT PITCHER

Ivan H, Thompson, of Jamestown, N.r1 Y, who was a schoolmate of .Hugl, Bedlent, the Red Sox pitcher, has the following to say of his friend the twirler: b.
 Hugh Bedient, one of thA best pitchers in the American league. ac- cording< to Connie Mack of the Phil adelphia Athletics, has made a record simply phenomenal since his debut in baseball. Beginning at the age of IA as the principal twirler for Falconer High School, he has learned the game from the start, and now is rated along with the best. Hugh Bedient, or Rube to his intimate friends, spent his early days at the little school house in Le- want, near which his parents, Mir. and Mrs. o. D. Bedient, reside He was leader among the boys and was al- ways ready for game of ball. He took naturally to pitching, and even as a youngster displayed remarkable ability.
 He started attending Falconer High School about 1904. / There Rube was the mainstay of the nine during the five years he played with it. The Fa1coner team defeated everything that came it's way and was the scholastic champion aggregation Of western New York and northern Pennsylvania. The team even defeated the Jamestown semi-profesSional club one year after the villagers had hard work to ar- range game, as the locals did not want to make monkeys of the school boys
 .'Bedient early developed a mania for strikeouts. It was no uncommon thing for him to go through a season with an average of Is Or better per game. For four years he was unde- feated. As soon as he left the school the Falconer club secured him. Then the village was represented by a win ming aggregation. It seldom came off second best in a contest. One mem orable day the Youngsviile, Pa., team played, and not a Youngsyille man reached first base or made a hit against Hugh.

GIBBS PITCHES AND BATS TEAM
 TO FINE VICTORY
IRv Wa rnarA


 Politely removing his cap and fac- ing the eager throng the megaphone man at Newfeld park yesterday an- nounced, ''Mr Gibbs, the slugging pitcher, will now place three bagger in left feld.'' Thereupon Freddy, the we'll known pinch hitter, laced the leather down near the horse gate and scored Buck Venable from first. The Saco swatter is getting to be a regu- lar Joe Jackson with the hickory. He wall in Springfield Tuesday. Aftec the game MT. Gibbs said when inter viewed. My only regret is that have but one basehit to give my country. Call a taxi, kid. Ifwant toa cross the street."
 Anyway you look at it Freddy is there With only one days rest he went in against Waterbury and mash ed the Spuds by to g.. Although Mur- phys hfre4ings collected eight hits, the blows didn't do much damage The Mechanics tapped Sam Mclean, the Glastonbury landlord, for seven soaks. Tom Crook leaned against the bulb for a home run and a three sack er Buck Venable treated himself to a pair of singles.
 The real vaudeville stunts of the afternoon were pulled by the jumpine jack twins Skipper Eley and Red Fisher. They were all over the place. leaping merri1y into the air and spoil ing the three baggers. Eley made three remarkable catches but his pest came in the seventh. Mclean belted a long liner between left and center. Turning his back to the ball, Eley started with the crack of the bat. He timed it nicely and still facing toward the fence made a jump and caught the sphere as it passed over his head. The bleacherites arose as one man and whooped it up for the Bayonne bucko.

What brought Rube into the lime light for the scouts of the leagues was game at Corry, Pa, which Fall coner won after playing twenty-three innings. In that game the youngster struck out forty-two men, an average of almost two men per session He was apparently as fresh after the game as before.
 9Bedient signed up with the Fall River team of the New England League i'll 1910. He made a great showing in the New England States and the very next season was pur- chased by the Boston Americans. He was farmed out to a club in the Inter- national League in 1911 and worked so well that Boston took him again this spring.
 .'Hugh Bedient is now p years old All things considered, he should be one of the greatest twirlers in the game in a year or two"

was probably the greatest debut ever made by a young pitcher, when Mack grabbed him in 1909. He won ten con- secutive games right off the reel be- fore the Browns stopped him in an ven-inning tussle. Six of these ten victories were shutouts, and in only one game of the ten did the opposition get two runs off him.
 Seven of these ten games were, won from Boston and Detroit, who were the Athletics closest rivals in the 1909 pennant dash. In the ten games Krause. allowed only forty-nine hits, six hits being the most made off him in any one game. However, after 1909 Krause fell off badly and was of little use to Mack in 1910 and 1911. Last May Mack sent him to Toledo. With Toledo Krause won nine straight games and did not suffer a defeat.
