this time he was pitching against
the hitherto iny.ncible Tiny Leonard.
Bad base running by the Bruins help
ed him out but. after all 1t was ms
own good work that brought him VIC
tory. Many times he allowed men
TO get on bases but. except IN the
seventh. he made them all die there.
Pendleton started things in the
second by grabbing a couple. Reid got
to second when Thompson booted and
hit a hot grounder and when Davis
made a bal peg to first after stopping
J,odelTs iafield hit there were two
men on with only one down. Curly
Wilson thereupon came through with
a timely single through short which
regiatered both men.
Another was added in the third,
when RAIDER singled, stole second,
took third on Browns bad peg and
came home when Thompson threw
wide TO the plate on Robinson's
grOunder.
Wala Walla came near to tying
the game up in the seventh, Davis
singled ard after Jones had whitfield.
Martini was safe when Lodell drop
ped the throw. Davis going to third
on the play Brown laid the ball down
to Lodell who advanced toward the
runner, at the same time keeping his
eye on Davis. The latter. however
ihugged the base until Lodell tried

home. Lodell threw to Pembrook,
but DAVIS slid under and Brown was
also safe at first. Leonard's single
scored Martini but a moment later

caught at the plate when trying to

most prominent families in Porto Ri

gressive women of the island the

New York to a real sense of freedom
in politics, dress and matrimony. And
apparently she has started. She APP

Never wash your uniform. This

After missing a hit and run signal
always return to the bench via the

makes the third out, sprint for your
position as rapidly as possible.
When you strike out four times in

Diaz Escapes
Mexican Jail

LOUISVILLE. KY, Nov. 12.-Gen-
eral Felix Diaz, leader of the latest
revolution in Mexico, has escaped
from prison, according to a letter re-
ceived here by r. G. Kirwan, of this
city, from r. H. Dickerson, at
Oaxaca, Mexico. Dickerson is from
Boston and is interested in mining in
Mexico. The letter was dated oaxaca.
November 8, and hat part of it bear
ing on Diaz's reported escape follows:
This afternoon a special edition
came out here saying General Felix
Diaz had escaped from prison by
bribing sentries and gone by boat
down the coast. The whole town is
wild. and Emilio goes round with a
broad grin on his face. Emilio says
he is going with several other Mex
leans here"
Kirwan says the Emilio referred to
is Felix Diaz's nephew. Kirwan, who
recently returned from Mexico, said
he inferred from Dickersons letter
that news of the escape of Diaz was
suppressed by the government be-
cause of the effect it would have on
other rebels.
