| NATIONALS POUND
TWO SOX PITCHERS
Griffmen Give Unexpected
Evidence of Recovering
Batting Optic.
NINE HITS OFF JOHNSON.
INCLUDING TWO HOMERS
But Is Effective in PinChes.
Locals Regain Third Place
as Result of Victory.
BY J. ED GRILLo.

y sudden revival of the batting
optic made it possible for the
Nationals to win a comparatively
easy victory from the White Sox
Yesterday, thus regaining third
place in the pennant race. Though
Walter Johnson was hit safely
nine times, among which hits
were two home runs and double,
he had FIVE runs to spare at the
finish, winning his game by a
score of 8 to 3.
Scott and White were the op-
posing pitchers to fall victims to
the rather unlooked-for batting
exhibition by the locals, and
while Johnson. too. was hit TN
usually hard he was good when
danger threatened and had so
easy game during the finishing
innings that he merely toyed with
his opponents, being satisfied to
get through the final innings with
as little exertion as possible.
Only once was Johnson in real
danger, and then, though he was
hit safety three times in one in
ming. the visitors failed to score.
This happened in the second, and
then Johnson saved himself by
grabbing hot shot from Weav-
er's bat and throwing the runner
out at the plate. But for this
play he might have had trouble,
for the play was followed by a
clean hit which filled the bases,
though he eventually retired the
side without allowing run.
Scott. one of the strongest portions
OF Callahan's pitching staff. did not
last long. The locals jumped on him
I'm the opening round and by some real
clean hitting and good base running
grabbed couple of runs. Scott was
taken out to allow Easterly of pinch
hitting fame to bat for him in the second,
when the bases were full and two were
out. This brought our fellow-towns-
man, Doc White, into the fracas and
for a time it seemed that the old
hoodoo which G. Harris has always held
over the locals was still in vogue but
during the closing innings he began
10 falter and was given about as nice
a trimming as could be served to an
aspiring pitcher.

Obituary-Austin

Eliza Austin was born in Han
worth, Middlesex county, England,
January IA, 1912, and died at the
home of her brother William at
Cedar Falls, Iowa, May 18th. 1913.
When four years of age she came
to America with her parents and
lived in Michigan for five years
when the family moved to the
farm now owned by younger
brother, Edwin J. Austin, near
Lancaster, where she lived contin-
uously until 1870. She then went
to Iowa and remained with her
brothers, Henry and William, upon
their farms near Austinville for a
time and for the next thirty years
she divided her time between her
fathers home here in Lancaster and
the homes of her brothers in But
Ter Co., Iowa.
Her father, the late Henry Austin
Of this place, preceded her in death
on February IL, 1908, and as this
broke up the home, which had been
such a pleasant one for him through
hers and her sister Mabels efforts,
she went to make her home with
her brother VIM. at Cedar Falls,
Iowa.
Her brother Henry preceded her
in death some two years, but she
leaves to mourn her loss her broth
ers, William at Cedar Falls, Walter
A., Reuben A 4, and Edwin J. of
Lancaster, and her sisters, Mrs.
Frank Walker of Lancaster, and
Mrs, Frank A. Dahn now of Fred
ericsburg, Iowa, besides many old
friends here, where she lived so
many years.
A genuine lady of sweet and un-
selfish disposition with broad sym
pathies and most kindly hearted,
she was always planning and work
ing for the comfort and welfare of
those about her. Certainly Aunt
Eliza" will be long remembered by
relatives, ne1ghbors and friends.
The funeral services were held on
Friday, May 10th, at her brothers
home at Cedar Falls, conducted by
DR.. J. E. SnOwden, interment being
beside her brother Henry, in Pleas
ant View Cemetery, at Arlington,
Iowa.

Professor Hicks Forecast For June.

Prof Hicks forecast for June, in
general is not abnormal. except in
the face that the tendency will be
local downpours and cloudbursts,
with lack of general rains. in wide
sections of the country. He Predicts
storms of wind and rain about the 3rd
and 4th. and the regular storm period
from the 9Th to the 18th, accompanied
with heavy storms of wind, rain and
thunder. The latter part of June, he,
says, the conditions are for prolong
ed spell of cloudy and threatening
weather. DR.. Hicks further says that
June thunder storms are always
charged with vicious lightning bolts,
and the greatest care should be exer-
cised against danger. He cautions
against taking shelter under trees and
leaving the doors and windows open,
when storms are in the near vicinity.

CONSULTING ENGINEER
VIEWS PROPOSED LINE
OF the Chicago Short Line EIec-
trio Railway
H. G. Palmer, Representing Prospective
Buyer of Bonds, Thinks Il Would
be Good Paying Road

Last week Mr.. H O. Palmer a
civil and consulting engineer, Of Chi
cago, was in Lancaster couple OF
days, having driven over the prOpos-
ed route of the Chicago Short Line
electric railway which company has
headquarters in this city and proposes
to build the line of road with the de-
tails Of which most readers OF this
paper are familiar.
Mr.. Palmer represents certain
foreign financial interests that con-
template handling the mortgage of the
company for the construction Of the
road when issued. and was here to
look up matters connected Herewith.
He drove over the proposed road, nos
only on the belt line encircling she
western portion of this county, but
also the portion between this city
and Stockton, ILL.,, and stated TO the
editor of the Herald that in his judg
ment there can be no question but
what standard electric railroad.
such as this company proposes to
build will pay we'll. as both tie
resources and needs are strongly ap
parent He expressed himself as
much impressed with the healthy
agricultural development of this Sec
tion of country and its many evil
dences of prosperity. He expressed
the belief that the money making pos
sibilities of this section, when this
railroad is built and in operation, can
scarcely be over estimated.
Under Mr. Palmers directions
maps and reports will be prepared for
the use and benefit Of the investors in
the mortgage bonds of the company,
which will show construction costs
as we'll as earning power, also esti-
mates for construction, grading,
bridging and drainage. The govern
ment topogra phical maps that show
by surface con tour lines all elevations.
depressions. water courses. etc., will
be used in this work.
Reports of traffic possibilities will
be based upon government and state
census reports, so there can be no
doubt as to their reliability.
The plan thus far has contemplated
connection with the Great Western
steam road. at Stockton, but it is said
there is a possibility that arrange
ments will be made, in case the COM
pany's plans are successful IN the
primary, financing to extend the road
via Stockton to Freeport, connecting
there with another standard electric
| road. giving through electric service
from this city to Chicago. which
would be a most desirable condition.

INTERESTING FACTS IN
FRUIT SITUATION.
Eastern Apples Take Precedence Over
Those Grown in the Far West
ern States.

Those who in the past have persist
ed against all advice and invested
their money in western apple orchards
on tbs claims Of promoters, will be
interested in the following from the
May II. 1918. issue of the New York
Fruit Trade Journal:
Western box apples shared slight
ly in the advance. but not 10 so large
an extent as might be expected. as
barrel stock had the preference, and
buyers paid little attention to box
packages, while fancy fruit in barrels
was available. A great many of the
box apples were overripe, dry and
seedY and sold at 81. 20 TO $3.50 per
box. Desirable large sizes that carried
we'll in storage, commanded So 90 to
2.50"
The conditions indicated in the
above report is the climax of market
change that has been progressing
steadily for several years. This is a
condition that has been pointed out
by the Wisconsin state board of i'm
migration and the Wisconsin Advance
ment association for several, years,
and yet millions of Wisconsin dollars
have gone into these western projects.
| There is some consolation that probab-
ly other millions we're saved to the
state by the advice thus given cut.
It was we'll known that the eastern
apple was better than those from the
west and that sooner or later the
public would quit buying apples on
color. That time has come.
It was also we'll known that soon
labor conditions would make it i'm
possible for the western growers TO
market their output in the conditions
prevailing in the past. The over
rips, dry and seedy" condition re-
{ ferred to in the above report shows on
! ly too we'll that that labor condition
has arrived.
If the western promoters mad
stopped at the right time, or, other
wise expressed, if the Wisconsin and
other middle western investors had
quit, the apple industry in the fal
west might have been saved with at
least some profit TO all. As it is the
losses will be tremendous. Wisconsin
investments don't pan out that way,

Motor Vehicles in the State.

The returns in the office of Secre-
tary of State Donald show that the
mum Der of motor vehicles registered
for 1918 already exceeds the number
on July last year, with applications
still coming at the rate of about 125
per day. The revenues up to the
present time exceed the total for the
period ending June 30, 1912, by $28,
1872.
Following is the record Of licenses
issued so far for 1918:
Autos, 26, 146 at S., $13O, $50; motor
cycles, 4. 139 at So, IS, 278; dealers,
1, 228 at So So 40; total, $145, 148.
The record for the fiscal year end
ing June 80, 1912, when the law had
been ia operation from January 1st,
the record was:
Autos, 81, 1913 at So, $105, 965
motorcycles, 3,178 at So, So, 356
dealers, $50 at 50, 81, 795; total, SIT,
116
Thus it appears that already the
mum Der of automobile licenses register
ed for the present year is 4, 953 more
than on July 1 last year. the mum
Der of motorcycles 964 greater,
while dealers out-number those of
last year by 271,

Electric Lighting For Automobiles.

The new metal filament incandes-
cent lamps made possible the lighting
Of the gasolene automobile by cleo
tIicity. The old carbon 6lamenr
lamp required too much electricity
per candle power and gave too little
light
The latest model gasolene auto
mobile depends upon electricity for
light, ignition and for starting the
engine. The entire electrical equip.
ment consists Of a dynamotor, which
runs as a dynamo until the battery is
fully charged and which also runs as
motor to start the car A small
storage battery is carried on the
running board. in place of the gas
tank, and the car is lighted with
electric incandescent lamps.
A motor car requires at least five
lamps, with an aggregate of 46
candle power. AS carbon lamps con-
sumo g. 8 watts per candle-more than
! three times as much as Mazda of
the low voltage type-the size and
weight of the battery for supplying
the necessary current were prohibitive.
AS a consequence gas and oil lamps
until recently have been the only
source of light available,
The most effective outfit for light
| ing al automobile consists of two
headlights of 20 CANDLE power each,
two side lights of 2 or candle power
each. and one tail light of 2 candle
power, consuming in all from 46 to
80 watts The battery for this equip
ment of lights should be one of 100
ampere hours, volts. This will
operate all the lamps continuously for
twelve hours without recharging.
This battery weighs So pounds. but
since it may be used also for engine
ignition it will replace the ordinary
ignition battery which weighs %
pounds and the gas tank weighing
30 pounds
Including the battery. battery box,
lamps, switch, wire and wireman s
time, an outfit of the capacity given
will cost about $50. The battery is
carried on the running board and the
battery leads are connected, through
suitable fuses, to twin conductors of
flexible wire leading to the several
lamps.
