b0IIlllS Ol IuG SERIES Is dDOuI even,
with a few partisans willing to give
odds on the Sox. Cub enthusiasts,
remembering last years disaster, are
more cautious.
Honor to Hans Wagner, the Ger
man Pirate, the greatest batter base
ball has ever seen, or probably will
see under the present system.
When Hans got his second hit off
HUMPHREYS yesterday in the Cub
Pittsburgh game he pulled his batting
average up to 300 for the seven
teenth consecutive season, record
never before equaled.
Wagner started his big league ca
reer away back in 1897 with Louis
vile, under Barney Dreyfuss, for
whom he has played continuously
since. The first mention of Wagner
in the records is in connection with
an average of .344. From then until
the present date he has never fallen
below the 300 mark. His second
year was his poorest performance,
his standing being 1905. Hans reach
ed high-water mark in 1900 with a
percentage of $3.50, figures he has
been unable to touch since.
Since 1900 Wagner's lowest record
was 800, collected in 1910. He raj
lied in 1911 with 1874 and dropped
ten points below that last Season.
Hans had trouble at the start of the
present campaign, and kept below the
800 line. He hit with his former
vigor, but the ball always travelled to
a waiting fielder. AS the season pro-
crossed he began getting his drives
safe, and though the pull has been
hard, he landed in the circle yester-
day. ...
Larry Lajoie is the only man who
even approaches Wagner, but the Big
Nap had a break of a couple of sea-
sons. Cobb, Jackson, Speaker and

Death of Mrs. T. I'll. Patch

Last Sunday night at about 1876
o'clock occurred the death of Mrs. TIL
Patch at her home on Summer street
Although she had been in failing health
for several years, she had been as well as
usual until last Thursday, when she was
taken ill from the grip, later developing
into pneumonia. On Sunday she seemed
to be more comfortable. but she was un-
able to withstand the effects of the dis
ease because of weak heart.
Luella Wheelock Patch the last of the
| family of seven children of Walter and
| Saloma Wheelock, was born in Cam
bridge Feb. %, 1888. On June 21, 1856,

in Wolcott and in Cambridge for several
years, after which Mr. Andrews enlisted

where they resided for about two years
after their marriage, going from there to
Canada, where they spent four years, and
then moving to this village, where Mr..
Patch died in June 1881.
Mrs. Patch had spent practically her
whole life in Lamoile County where she
has a large number of friends. She
was a genuine home body, her devotion
being to those near and dear to her; yet
her home was always open to friends and
neighbors and her kindly disposition and
cheering manner made for her friends of
all with whom she came in contact. As
long as health would permit, she was an
attendant at the Universalist church and
that society.
Funeral services were held this after
noon at o'clock from the house, Rev X.

The last entertainment in the lecture
course, and the best as far as an Intellec-

Pa, who spoke to good sized audience
upon Natures Masterpiece" With this
for his text the speaker showed that a
friend is Natures great masterpiece; that
man does not live to himself alone; that
the greatest service man can render to
another is to be his friend; that man is
dependent upon his fellow-man and that
"the modern democracy of man is built
on love and brotherhood" and that
these are the ties that bind communities
nations and races together. The lecturer
is an orator and his delivery pleasing
and impressive. The committee made
no mistake in securing Mr.. Byrnes and
choosing Natures Masterpiece" tor
the subject.

Must Pay Interest.

A decision has just been handed
down by Judge F. A. Youmans, of the
United States District Court, which is
of vital interest to cities and villages
in this state. The city of LaMoure
some time ago issued certain city
sewer and water warrants and failed
to make proper levy of taxes to pay
them. The warrants were held for
some two years by the owners and
never presented for payment. When
they were presented the city treasurer
refused to pay interest on them on
the grounds that they had not been
presented and properly registered un-
der the statute. The federal court
holds that the failure to present the
warrants for payment and the regis.
tering them for interest was not ar
act that avoided the interest charge
and ordered the city to pay interest OF
the warrants.
