BALTIC
Runaway Horses Drag Driver Along, Barely Escaping Fall Into Sewer Trench-TraveIers Home from Eng land.

Friday morning about II o'clock a pair of horses belonging to a. TaftviIle man became frightened while standing in front of the Baltic hotel and started on run uo Railroad street, towards the Catholic church. The driver who was standing nearby when the horses started, seized one of them by the col lar in an effort to stop them, but in do- ing so his arm in slipped in some manner in under the collar, and he was unable to withdraw it. The horses were h1tched to heavy wagon loaded with furniture. They ran with increasing speed up the street dragging the 1riv- CT along with them, in the direction of the trench where seven Italian work men were shOVeling. Charles DonneIly timekeeper of the woTIcnen, was stand ing nearby, but did not see the on- coming horses until tkey were almost on top of the worlznen. He shouted to the Italians, who looked up just in time to see the horses before they struck the trench. The men scrambled out in the nick of time, shouted at the horses, and threw stone at them to keep them from plunging into the ditch The run aWays kept on and turned up the lane between the church an the new con- vent and were stopped in the rear of the church by a TOW of posts set across the street. The driver escaped with a good shaking up and a few bruises.

 An unclaimed letter at the local post office for the week ending August 23d is for Charles Green.

CoRRECTs STATEMENT
 OF LATHAM'S TIME
c. V. PendIeton, Jr, Says Latham: Record Is Five Miles in 6 Minutes 37 Ia Seconds.

c. V. Pendleton. Jr.. writes The Bull letin as follows:
 will thank you to correct an er- roneous statement that appeared in the local paper this evening.
 G. B. Latham of Lebanon, well known as a racer at the Eastern Q9n- neoticut fairs in 1912. and this faI' has won three out of last four races he has entered. In regard to the time would state that five miles in six min utes, thirty-seven and one-half seconds made at Willimantic on Tuesday of this week is his record in competition
 This is at an average of 8 mile in 1.19 1-2, which fails to equal the time by Wild Bil1' Burdick at the local fair Wednesday, Sept. Srd, when he went the seven miles in nine minutes and ten seconds, or an average of a mile in 1.1S AT.
 Iatham's stated time of five miles in 5.37 and a half mile in 35 seconds do not very well coincide, inasmuch as , miles in 5.37 would be turning the half miles off in 33.7 seconds, faster time than he claims to have ever turned off a half mile.

OFFICIAL SCORERS.
Small Chance for Them to Keep TracE
 of Balls and Strikes.

The official scorer bluff is one of the most LaIuDus things connected with the national game T. is all well enough to repOse in them the authority of settling the vexed ques- ton or Whe -her a particular rap is q hit or not a hit or whether or not some tumble is excusable or inexcus- able, because f1naiiUy of judgment about such things has to be placed somewhere; but the very idea. of al lowing them to pretend to keep track or the number of strikes and balls, and settle intricate questions of rules and regulations of the game is a bowling absurdity that cries aloud for reform
 Anyone with a spiink of sense, or common, ordinary knowledge of press box proceedings, knows perfectly well that official scorers rarely know 8, con founded thing about the number of balls and strikes on a man, unless by pure accident Tn a particularly tight situation, when they are keyed up like the rest of the crowd they may be alive 10 the number Of balls and strikes but, as q general thing, they know just a shade less on the subject than anyone else on the grounds. This, of course applies 10 the scorers unofficial, ss we'll
 The reason is plain: It is some job tc keep score of s bali game, and quite a Tor Of the clerical work of this kind Is done while the batter is de- daring halls and strikes. The SCOT CTS are busy with their hferogIyphfcg &nd ouFy look up when they hear the crack Of the bat. They are paying absolutely no attention to the number of balls and strikes while they are engaged in their scoring, By some pure accident they may happen to know the number of balls and strikes de- cIared on a batsman, but not othaF- A "a fully says. a kid in the bIeaehers, who has no scoring to look out for, and whose mind is centsred on the game, knows more about the balls and strikes than the official scorer, 10 times oyer, Springfield News.

SENATORS AGAIN DOWN CLEVELAND
Banding Unable to Pull Maps Out of Johnson Twirls Fine >Bal-Washington But One Full Game from Second Place

Washington, Sept. 12.-With today's 6 te victory over Cleveland, the fifth straight in four days, Washington claimbed to within a single game of Cleveland in the fight for second place in the American league pennant race. The home team won by hitting Bland ing hard when hits meant runs. The big pitcher was sent back in a vain effort to check Washington. and for the first three innings the game looked like 1t was going to be close.
 Washington got off to a one run lead in the second, but Cleveland taIlied in its half of the fourth and the teams were again on even terms The close ness was short-lived. however, as Washington landed on Blanding in the fourth for two doubles and two sin gles, and these helped along with an error, were good for three runs. The locals scored again in the sixth and in the eighth. and with Walter John son moving down the Clevelanders in regular order, the result became a certainty.
 Johnson in Fine Form.
 It was Johnson's second victory over Cleveland in the series. He was in fine form, allowing but four widely scattered hits, striking out seven and giving but one base on balls. In the field he accepted six chances perfect ly,
 Milan was the hitting star of the day, getting four hits out of four times up, two of them being doubles. Ain smith also batted hard, connecting for a triple and a double out of three times at bat, Joe Jackson, CleTSland's slugging outfelder was hurt in the fourth inning while going after one of Milan's doubles to the fence and had to be replaced by Ryan. Jackson and the ball hit the fence about the same time, the ball rebounding into Leibold' S hands, while Jackson crumpled up in a heap unconscious. His condition, however, is not serious and he is 'ex- pected to be in toporrow's game against Philadelphia.
