Ray Morgan's Rough Riders, of Bal
timore, rode over to Washington last
hight to tackle a picked team Of Wash
ingtons duckpin spiders and met defeat
in both total pins and games. Morgan's
team has a reputation of hitting only
| the high spots in regards to big scores,
but they must have thought they had
entered a hill-climbing contest, as they
were forced to trafl the Washington
stars from the very start. One of the
similar match packed the Palace alleys
and cheered both teams to the echo. Ray
took the defeat good naturedly and was
the center Of attraction all evening.
Washington won four of the five games
with fine scores, losing the third game
by q pins. The total pins were: WASH
ington, 2,7T; Baltimore, ISIS, difference
of 139 pins in favor of the local boys.
Every one of the men of both teams
rolled a total well over the 500 mark,
FOR the five games, except Roche, of Bal
timore, who lacked just two pins of the
coveted mark.
The Washington second-sacker was
hailed as the star of the Baltimore ag-
gregation and lived up to this reputation
totaled 654 pins in the five games for an
average Just shy III, which is excellent
rolling on strange alleys. However, this
good rolling was overshadowed BY both
HALEY and II. Krauss, of the home team,
who totaled Isl and 5S4, respectively
Three men were tied for the high single
of 1874, as Lon Krauss started the first
game with 1t, Morgan carried 1t in his
frame in the second game, and HALEY
ended up the evening in fine style with II.
Pop HALEY proved himself the most
consistent performer of the evening,
with scores Of 1o4. l0l. 10e. log. and 134,
being the only man of the team to roll
every game over the century mark Lon
Krauss' high mark in the first game
came at the right time, as II held up
Carroll and Eiker, both of whom got
away with bad starts. The local teams
high total was 564. which il scored In
the fourth game, while Baltimore was
falling down in the game with AS, a Diff
ference of eighty-six pins that never
was made up.
Following is the official score:

FINE RECORD OF TWO STARS.
Chance, in Seven Years, Has Won
an Average Of Two Games
Out of Three.
CHANCES RECORD.

Far more eloquent than any mere clus-
ter of words. the above statistics show
just what New York's two leaders. John
j. McGraw and Frank L. Chance, have
accomplished through their careers as
leaders. McGraw reached New York late
In the campaign OF 1902, so his record is
started from 1905.
Chance took charge Of the great Cub
machine in 1906. In the seven years OF
his leadership he has carried his people
through loo games, with a record OF
IA victories against $50 defeats, yielding
a grand average Of .66. He has won
two games out OF every three starts.
In the ten years of his reign McGraw
has led the Giants through 1.5ls contests.

CONDEMNED MAN
 MAKES ESCAPE
Arthur Tillman Jumps From Moving Train And EIudes
 Officers.

Perry, Nov. 14.-"A chance
 for life
 With these words. Arthur Tillman, aged 21, convicted mur-
 derer of his sweetheart, Amanda Stephens, and under sentence to
 be hanged at Paris, Logan coun- ty, March 10, shortly before midnight hurled himself from the rear platform of a sleeper on the Rock Island and escaped into the woods near Perry. When he made his sensational and highly dangerous escape, Tillman was in the custody of Sheriff Cook of Logan county, who was bringing the youth to the penitentiary at Little Rock for safe keeping.
 According to Sheriff Cook, Tillman and he were in the chair car Of the Rock Island train and had started back to the sleeper. When this coach was reached 1illman expressed a wish for a drink of water from the cooler in the rear of the car. Sheriff Cook followed the condemned man down the aisle. Tillman was handcuffed and with the train running 30 miles an hour, the officer felt that there was little danger of an attempt of escape. When the cooler was reached, Tillman, after drinking from a paper cup, suddenly slipped the bolt on the door and stepped out to the rear platform. The off,
 cer, fearing the boy would try to
 kill himself, hastily started to-
 ward him. Tillman slammed the
 car door in his face and vaulted
 the rail of the platform.
 The entire country side was
 warned by Sheriff Cook of Till
 mans escape when the train
 reached this city.
 As Tillman jumped over the Trail he called back to the official that he was taking a chance for life" Those were the last words
 heard by the officer.

The Newport High School foot ball and basket ball teams left Friday morning for Augusta, where they meet the two oppos- ing teams of the Augusta High School this afternoon.
 The boys and girls left New port early this morning by the way of Bald Knob and a iollier crowd never left the Iron Moun- tain station. They all wore that determined look that means victory and we are expecting a big score regardless of the fact that this is the second game for
 the boys and the first this sea- son for the basket ball girls.
 Prot. and Mrs. Edgar Will Hams, who are very enthusiasts tic over the school outdoor sports accompanied the two teams. The boys who went along were Will Childers, Elmer Patton, AL bert Bevans, Charles Minor, Carl Hirsch, Burley Coe, Her bert Wise, Heber Askew, Pewee Stallings, Virgil Umsted, Gus Rankin, Harry Littleton, Cecil Marion and Wylie McMinn; The basket ball girls were Stella Wallace, Mary Bains, Frances Bailey, Rita Whitten, Nellie Snetser, Lottie Ballew, Helen lowers, Lucy Sprigg, Aline Mos 1 by, Maude and Jesse Littleton and Mary Frances Hays.

 The statement made by the minister of finance Wednesday night that he had been unable to present MT. Lind's message to General Huerta was verified to- day.
