NEW YORK, May 16.--Taking a
careful slant at the BATHS, averages
Eof the Philadelphia Athletics, and a
peek at the records of Mack's pitchers,
we would opine, if pressed for a
statement, that the champs of two and
three years ago have very fair
chance of crossing bats with the
Giants or the cubs next October. Oc-
tober is still long look away but it
looks from here like an even bet that
it'll be Mack versus McGraw or Evers
next fall, remembering always, of
course that the representation is
based solely on present time dope.
When you get right down to 1t and are
not hedged in by partially through
residence in one of the rival cities,
Connie Mack's furious, firing phalanx
looks fairly fit to finish ahead, Bos-
ton, so far hasn't shown as much
class as Washington and in spite of
Walter Johnson and thieving Milan,
the base stealer, the D. C. boys are
not exactly of champion calibre. Bos-
ton, of course will do much better lat
er on and they will undoubtedly push
Mack hard. Mack's twirlers have
been going at a great rate, young and
old alike. And what's more, the
Quaker batters have been backing UP
the pitchers with a slashing offense
that, if kept UP, can mean only one
thing.
In the National league Pittsburgh
has been minus Honus too long.
Also the Smoketown crew hasn't the
necessary twirling staff despite the
presence of O'Toole, the costly. AS
for Chicago, it's a great question
whether the pitchers Eyers has will
last before the eastern sluggers dur
ing the present invasion of this section
by the Windy City bunch. The Cub
pitchers are facing harder hitters
just now than they faced while they
remained In their own section of the
country. But, after all. the only real
way to get the answer is to dope
your own dope if you can't be made
to see this brand Go to it. 1t doesn't
cost a cent.

in MEMORIAM.

In memory Of Mamie Stewart Cash,
daughter of j.. Leander and Margaret
1. Cash, who was born June Is, 1889,
and passed away from earth, Decem-
Der Is, 1912. Hers was a life of un-
broken suffering. In early childhood
she had a severe attack Of sickness
that left her almost helpless, SO that
during all the years of her life she re-
lquired constant ministration, and her
mission in this world vas to develop
tenderness, sympathy and self sacri-
flee on the part of all who ministered
to her wants. The effects of this con-
slant appeal of helplessness and suf-
fering was visible in the faces and
character Of all who ministered to her
and upon all the intimate friends of
the family, whose hearts were ever
going out in sympathy to her and to
them.
When the Lord called her from suf-
fering to rest, she left many hearts
more tender and many lives more
beautiful because of her life and suf-
fering. No child of God ever lives in
vain. w. H. d.

er precedent was set by the ad-
ministration when Secretary Bry-
an appealed to the German am
bassador Count Bernstorf, to have
the German government and peo-
Die represented at the approach
ing Panama Pacific exposition. The
ambassador appeared at the state.
department after a visit to the
White House and it was under
stood that President Wilson ex-
pressed a desire that he call upon
Secretary Bryan.
Count Bernstorf will acquaint
his government with the request,
adding to it such personal repre-
sensations as he believes the situa-
ton warrants.
This move on the part Of the adj
ministration was inspired by the
hostile attitude towards the expo
sition Of several Of the great Euro
pean powers. This attitude is
credited to apprehension as to the
adverse effect upon trade of GER
tain failures of the administrative
section of the pending tariff bill,
especially the socalled inquisitori-
al section, as well as to a desire
on the part Of some nations to
sympathetically support the Brit
ish government in its protest

OL|NGER RETURNED
TO INSANE ASYLUM
Man Who Entered Richmond
Home Was Missing For
Four Year.

r. j. Oinger, who was arrested
Monday night after he had entered
the home of r. J. Ginger on South
Thirteenth street, and stolen SO cents,
then hiding under the bed to escape
the police, was sent to the Ohio state
insane asylum at Dayton this morning.
The local police believed Olinger in
sane and telephoned his home in Brad
ford, O., where 1t was learned that
Olinger had run away. Olinger's
brother asked that he be held until
asylum authorities arrive to return
him to the Ohio institution.
Olinger was gone from home for
five years, his brother stated, and the
first heard of him was that he was
confined in an asylum in Idaho. He
was then returned and remained in
the Dayton asylum for short time.
He finally secured his release six
months ago and has been living at
home until he ran away last week. He
is a kleptomaniac.

Three carloads of ice, two from Con-
nersville and one from Warsaw, ar
rived here this morning. Another car
is expected tomorrow morning from
Warsaw and two cars are ordered from
Kalamazoo, Mich, besides a carload
daily from Connersville. Officials of
the Rettig and Johnson ice company
stated today that all of this shipped
ice would be disposed of today. I'VE
will fill the refrigerators of the meat
markets and then they will not have
to be supplied for several days. one
official said. They must have ice to
keep their meat from spelling. In the
case of the ice cream dealers and the
saloons, where we feel that a neces-
sity is not at stake. we are cutting
down the supply. AS long as our ma
chinery at the plant remains in good
working order no one will suffer from
an absence of ice. BY working all
night we can manufacture a sufficient
amount to give each customer a small
amount. We are making every effort
to supply the demands on us and l
don't think that any one will suffer"

MAKE DAILY TRIPS
TO THE CITY DUMPS
Chief Orders This 70 Prevent
Spreading of the
Flames.

The fire department has made al
most daily trips TO the dumps around
the city, which are on are. Although
these calls have not been in answer
to calls. the fire chief wants to keep
the dump fire limited to the dumps
and prevent any spread of flames to
neighboring properties or fields
There is no danger from any of the
dump sres but the smoke or smudge
is annoying The fire chief and city
officials believe that ii is an advant-
age to have the dumps burn as this
will eliminate disease and will keep
the amount of refuse down TO a mini
mum.
The dump fires were the results OF
spontaneous combustion, the damp
material below the top layer of refuse
becoming heated by the internal i'm
pulses until it bursts into a smolder-
ing fire. There is little or no kane
and the dumps are gradually eaten
away by the slow fire.
