BASEBALL NOTES.

Both Hobitzel and Mike Mitchell of the
Reds are very strong for Boston and
would welcome being traded to the Hub.
If Ban johnson is looking for three new
umpireg, Thomas j. Lynch should get
busy and sign up an entire new staff.
The loss of Bin Rariden is a severe
blow to the Braves for Bill has been
playing better ball. this season, than
at any time in his career.
The sudden death of Thomas c.
Noyea is severe blow to the Wash
ington team, of which club he was
president.
Eddie Plank has gone through a lot
of blistering campaigns, but up TO the
present he has failed TO show the
slightest sign of becoming warped.
BY winning the first game of Tues
days double header against Cleve-
land, Walter Johnson won his 18th
consecutive game, thereby setting up
new American League record.
Maranville, who is now with New
Bedford, but who will report to the
Red Sox at the end of the New Eng
land League season, is playing Won
derful ball for the Whalers.
The fans think very well of Bert Whal-
ing. who is to be Brave, next season,
claiming that he is the only catcher In
the Northwestern League who is capable
of turning back the fastest base runners.
Somebody must have wished the
Cicotte link on big George Mcconnell
of the New York Highlanders. Nc
Cornell has pitched first class ball ALI
season, but his support has been SO
bad that he has lost most of his
games.
Jack Boultes. who was pitcher with
the Boston Nationals few seasons ago.
and who is now covering third base for
Lowell, is the peppery Kid of the Spindle
city outfit. Jack is playing fine game
both at the bat and in the field.
Ray Collins of the Red Sox claims that
Eddie Collins is the hardest man he ever
pitched to- Ray says that Eddie is So
small, and stands so close to the plate
that 1t is impossible to work the corners,
and that he very seldom goes after a
bad ball.

Colonel Numerically Scores
PenrOse, as Well as the Trusts.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Aug. "a severe
attack on Senator Penrose of Penn
| sylvania was made, tonight, by Col
Roosevelt The senator, he said, was
| like a cuttlefsh, which, lacking the
courage to fight its enemy, "squirts
ink in the hope it may escape. In
denouneing the senator, Col. Roosevelt
repeated his denial that he had known
of any STANDARD Oil contribution to
the Presidential campaign of 1904.
Col Rooseyelts speech was made
| in the Armory, at a meeting held in
connection with the jubilee of Rev.
Father Curran. The crowd which col
leeted in front of the building was so
great that, when the doors were
thrown open, the police forced back
the people to avoid dangerous crush.
TIE building was finally filled by ad-
hitting a few hundred persons at a
time. the police barrieading the doors
after each rush.
After Col. Roosevelt had paid a
tribute to Father Curran. he said
And now word about honesty
We can't have any reform unless we
have honesty in both business and
politics. BY a natural sequence of
thought now come to Senator Pen
| rose of Pennsylvania.
Recently certain definite and spe
cifie charges were made against Sena-
tor Penrose. | knew nothing of them
and did not even look into the charges
until Mr.. Penrose succeeded in rivet-
! ing my attention upon them. Yester-
day, he got up in the Senate to deny
these charges, and brought in hearsay
|charges against me.
Il call.your attention to an analogue
| in Senator Penrose among the inferior
forms of animal life--the cuttlefish.
When the cuttlefish is attacked by an
enemy which it lacks courage to OPP
pose, it squirts ink and tries to eS-
cape, trusting that the enemy will at
tack the ink instead of the euttlefish.
/ now propose to clear away the ink
and attack the cuttlefsh.
THE statement of Mr.. Penrose was
he had heard that by my direction
100000 was asked for from the Stan
dard Oil Co, for my campaign and
contributed and that further sum
was asked for. MFR. Penrose gave this
evidence On hearsay. 1t is contempt
BILE for MIR. Penrose to repeat such ev
idence en- hearsay."
Col. Roosevelt then referred to the
letters which Ire gave out. last night.
which he sent to George b. Cortelyou,
chairman of the Republican commit :
tee IN 1904 directing that no cam
paign contribution be received from
the Standard oil Co.
Any man who reads these letters "
he continued, lis bound. if he is an
honest man, to state that | acted in
absolute good faith and that If any
contribution was made by the Stan
dard OIL Co. it was without my knowl-
edge and in spite of my absolute pro-
l.ibitior.
THE proof of the pudding is in the
eating Every trust controlled news

in its power to beat me. DO YOU think
that those trust papers would be try

tory TO the Standard Oil Co, and thai

influence me while / WAS President.

which recently occurred, and the voy-
age at sea when Paul offered prayer
for the protection of all on board, all
being saved. The lesson he drew from
the two scenes was pathetic, thrilling,
one that will not soon be forgotten.
He praised the heroism displayed by
the men on the Titanic, but strongly

Women Vote in County Race.

If the generally accepted construc-

suffrage act proves correct, women
will for the first time in Kentucky vote
at the regular election for county
offices in 1918, in which they will have
the privilege of voting for County
School Superintendent. Women have
for years been eligible to this office
and quite number of Kentucky coun-
ties have women for School Superin-
tendents. 1t is believed that the new
law, if it applies to this Office, will have
tendency to make women School Su-
perintendents the rule rather than the
exception. for if the women support
one of their sex it would practically
make her selection certain The wom-

square in the town of Columbia. In
1864 the square was graveled, all over,
about eight inches deep, and since that
time it has been regraveled in spots,
but it now needs to be remetaled. In
some places the gravel is all gone, and
there are many washouts' In fact,
the gravel is so tasty disappearing
that in few years, if something IS not
done, the square will be like dirt road,

ed rock or gravel. and the square,
which belongs to the county, not the
town of Columbia. again put in good
