 TIERS HOME,

Mrs. Fannie Baridon, aged 7s, died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Joseph F.rauenthal, this morning at 6 o'clock, after short illness of pneu- monla. Although on account of her age Mrs. Baridon's illness was re- garded very critical for several days, hope was entertained for her recov- cry until this morning, when, as if she were peacefully dropping off to sleep, she gently breathed her last.
 Mrs. Baridon was born near Gene va, Switzerland, May 29, 1885. She came to America in 1852, living at Montreal, Canada, until 1898, when she moved to Conway to make her home with her daughter.

 Mrs. Baridon was a devout member of tire Conway Presbyterian church. During her residence in Conway she made many friends, all of whom are deeply grieved at her death.
 The funeral will be held from the residence of MT. and Mrs. Frauen- thai, on Deer street, tomorrow after noon at ? o'clock Mrs. Baridon's s pastor, Dr. c. H. Steen, is on his way to Corinth, Miss, but it is hoped to reach him by wire in order that he may return and conduct the funeral services. The active pall-bearers will be J. Frank Jones, o. o.

OFFERS F REASONS
 FOR HIS ELECTION R. 1AYDON'S ARGUMENT PICTURE OF AN EVEN DOZEN CHILDREN CANDIDATES
 CAMPAIGN CARD.

A photograph of his 12 sturdy sons and daughters constitutes dozen reasons why Rufus Haydon of Bene- dict township says he should be nomi mated sheriff of Faulkner county. Ac- companled by a cut of the group the following article appeared on the front page of Fridays Arkansas Ga zette:
 When an aspirant for an office makes his claims to the voter today he must show just, concise reasons why he should be given the office or he is liable to be among those who al- so were entered.
 Rufus Haydon of Rocky Gap has reasons, 12 in all, and every one of these reasons is unanswerable, for they are 12 healthy children ranging in age from 23 years to IS months. All live at home. Mir. Haydon doesn't ask the voter to take his w0d for it. he IS mailing out postal card pictures of this dozen reasons lined up in stairstep regularity.
 "Mr. Haydon owns a sawmill. cot ton gin and country store, but he be- lieves that the sheriff's office should be his and there are many voters who believe that his is an argument which no opposing candidate will be able to meet

"CHILDREN'S DAY." A DOUBLE-HEADER,
AND MUSIC TO BE YOUNGSTERS TREAT

The biggest day of the season for
Father Newark's rising young gen.
GRAFTON, bigger even than circus day.
will be next Tuesday. President
George L. Solomon, of the Newark
Club, has graciously consented
through the efforts of Frank ]. Nc
Tague, of the Fairgrounds, and at
the suggestion of the Evening Star
to set aside that day and put all of
the youngsters on the free list.
Arrangements have been made to
have a band of fourteen pieces, COM
posed of musicians who assist in the
city park concerts, on hand. The
youngsters from the city Fairgrounds
will assemble outside of the park
and march through the automobile
gate to the right field bleachers.
which will be at their disposal that
day.
Baseball magnates the country over
have come to realize that the young
sters are their loyalist supporters in
spirit If not financially, and that the
boy of today is the fan of tomorrow.
Scores of youngsters who can't af-
ford two bits or the fifteen cents to
gain admission to the park during the
week to see Harry Smiths coming
champions will be delighted at the
opportunity to root for the Tigers.
Harry Smith and the Bengal players
are delighted to perform for the edi-
fication of the Hustlers, and as Roch-
ester will be the attraction in a dou-
ble-header, the youngsters could ask
for nothing more in the way OF a
treat.

DOINGS IN THE INTERNATIONAL LEAGUE

Winning the close games is the test
of championship calibre. The Tigers
have 1t.
Almeida is out of the Royals lineup
with a strained leg ligament or they
would be able to show even more
speed on the paths.
Gilhooly, Burns. Allen and perhaps
Purtell may figure in a swap or a
trade of some sort with a big league
club before August Is. Sam Lichten-
helm placed a prohibitive price on
Gilhooly and Burns, asking for $4,000
and three players. Frank Chance got
scared and snapped up Fritz Maisel.
Lichtenhein will surely sell Gilhooly
rather than take a chance of losing
him by draft.

ester clubs who play here Monday

Three victories in a row by 80
scores.
Newark fans are certainly baseball
mad, and so are scores of others who
never took any interest In the Tigers
until this year beyond scanning the
scores and the standing of the league,
In the street cars, on the corners and
wherever two members of the
stronger sex gathered last night the
main topic was baseball, Even in the
moving picture shows the Tigers are
the main topic.
1t is also interesting to listen to
some of the gossip occasional visitors
to the local park turn loose coming
up in the cars. Some of their ideas
and talks on baseball and players
would tickle the funny bone of a
sphynx. As a whole Newark fans ap-
preciate the finer points of the game
and are well educated IN the Tigers
inside work.
Going down to Wiedenmayer's Park
yesterday afternoon, a fan happened
to board car with some of the New
ark players. He picked up a CONVEX
sation on baseball, not knowing the
identity of his fellow travellers. One
of them was Al Shack, and as AL is
fond of kidding, he asked the talka-
tive stranger what he thought about
Pitcher Shack.

GOSSIP OF THE Big LEAGUE PLAYERS

The Giants have had a disastrous
week, while the Phillies are squirting
harder than ever, but McGraw's men
still look like fiag-winners in the
stretch.
Becker Cravath Luderus and
Doolan, following one another in the
Phillies lineup, had three hits each
yesterday. No wonder the Quakers
got sixteen tallies.
Lively smuggling, reminiscent of the
early part of the season of 1911, fea-
tured some of the major league games
Among the long hits made were
seven home runs, Luderus, of the
Phillies, leading with two of them in
a 16-to-3 defeat of Chicago. Becker
aided his teammates in the Cubs de-
feat with one homer, and the others
were made by Hoblitzell, of Cincin-
natl; Bodie, of the Chicago Ameri-
cans; Wingo, of the st. Louis Ma
tionals, and Wilson, of Pittsburgh.
Two years ago the unusual amount
of smuggling was popularity accounted
for by the theory that the balls were
made with an extra live core. Later
an experiment made by a National
League umpire and Boston news
paper man indicated that at least
some of the balls then in use were
overweight-just enough heavier than
ordinarily to make the hurlers unable
to curve them much.
Snodgrass struck out twice, flied out
once with two on bases and a fourth
time hit to the infleld for an out al
the plate.
The Giants lost, although they bat
ted harder than In any previous game
since leaving home.
John III. Gaffney, the retired nm
pire, who died yesterday. was the first
umpire to appear on the diamond with
chest pad to protect him from fou
tips when umpiring behind the bat.
Manager Flannery, of the Helena
Baseball Club, announced the sale al
Pitcher M. Williams to the Washing
ton Americans. The price stated was
$4,000. Williams will report to CLARK
Griffith at the end of the Union AS
ISOLATION season.
