Cordele, Ca, Aug. 15.-(Special)-
Judging from the way the pitchers
were going, today's game would not
have ended till Christmas or some
time near that season if rain hadn't
broken the game up in the eighth in
ming. Neither side was able to push
a run across and both teams were sup
porting their pitchers in fine style.
Stewart got off with a bad start and
allowed two hits in the opening inning
but after that he was almost lnVinc
ible. Fillingem had his splitter WORK.
ing fine, and the Muckalees had hard
times connecting with his delivery.
Grady Bowen at third played spec
tacular ball. He fielded like big
Lacquer and got two hits of the four
that Fillingem gave up. Dick Utter in
SAANNb
right was also star.
The Muckalees missed their best
chance to score in the fifth. Bowen lei
off with single in this frame and
then proceeded to purloin the key
stone; Brouthers walked and he and
Grady pulled off a double steal; Mall
chester attempted to work the hit-and-
rr:. and Bowen was caught at home;
then Utter lifted a sacrifice to left,
Int Brouthers was also caught at the
plate.
We will play two games this after
noon. The first will be called at 2:3O.

THE SALOONS
Towns Having Difficulty Adjust
ing the New Conditions

Aberdeen, May 6.-The city and
town councils and the city commits
sions of South Dakota are experiencing
copsidera BILE difficulty in solving the
problem of reducing the saloons to the
new state laws requirements of one
to every 600 inhabitants. In some
towns 1t has been proposed to let the
statutory number OF saloon licenses to
the highest bidders. In others it has
been suggested that the legal voters
decide from the applicants for license
those who shall be granted the permits
to sell liquor. and at Sisseton, E.
Francis Atwood, a socialist, suggests
in a local paper there that the town
Of Sisseton purchase the number of sa-
looms allowed under the state law
and make of the saloon business q
municipal enterprise. In Aberdeen,
where the number of saloons must be
reduced from 81 to 10, the city CON-
missioners. ne the first step, raised the
license fee from $500 to 81, 100, which,
it is expected, will have the effect of
wedding out a number Of applicants,
and have also let 1t be known that only
who have conducted orderly
places and who are located In good
buildings will be considered.

MISSION SERVICE
At St. Thomas Church Attracts
Large Congregational
teresting Sermons

The mission service at st. Thomas
church last evening was attended by
a large congregation, the spacious
edifoe filled to its capacity. Father
Brady opened the service with Rosary
which he explained the previous even
ing, followed with the Benediction,
the ceremony of which was explained
last evening. Father Brady then took
up questions which hsd been deposited
in the question box and explained
them to the congregation. First. Can
a priest forgive sinsf He pointed out
that the priest il an agent of God and
through his i~ntercession by prayer sin
is forgiven If the confessor is truly re.

man I was answered by a reference to
the Incomplete history of the saint,
that he was born in Scotland. emi
grating to Ireland, and that he was
an Irishman by adoption.
The sermon of the evening was by
Father Monaghan, subject, Mortal Sin
The speaker analysed sin in all it's
phases. recounting the first sin commit
ted by man and graphically sketching
the sins Of the world. finally taking up
the ten commandments and detailing
how they are constantly broken b,
mankind. This was not done in
malice toward God. but through the
passions of man whom God had en-
dowed with an intellect superior to any
other of his creatures.
The sermon throughout was instruc-
tive and intensely interesting, the
large congregation paying close atten
lion Il the discourse, the attrsctiveness
OF which was augmented by the pol
ished oratory of the speaker.
The meetings will be continued
throughout the week. and the reverend
gentlemen in charge extend a cordial
invitation to everybody in the city to
attend. as much in the doctrines and
customs OF the church will be placed
b fore the congregations.

COATS AND SKIRTS
Manufacturers Adopt Styles for
the Coming Fall Trade

Toledo, Ohio. Mey 6.-Just before
a'jJurnment the convention of 155
members of the National Cloak, Suit
and Skirt Manufacturers association
approved the report of the style CON-
mittee, fixing styles for fall, 1918.
The report follows:
Coats and suits for fall will en-
body a greater variety OF features than
they have in several seasons past.
These features will consist of high
~buttoning, cutaway and blouse effects,
mandarin sleeves, drapings, vests or
w~aistcoats, fur band collars. Russian
effects with belts and sashes, sleeves
shirred at the wrists, and the combina-
ton in a suit of one material for the
coat and another for the skirt.
The principal feature of the suit
coat will be the GETAWAY effect, the
back of the coat being cut markedly
longer than the front. The slope of
tie cutaway is the element which de
termines the length of the back which
will vary to an unusual degree. Suit
coats measuring from finger tip to
bends of the knee length will pre-
dominate.
In addition to the tailored skirt.
the slightly draped skirt will be
prominent, particularly in the dressier
suits. The high waist line. a SLASH
at the skirt bottom, plating and
shirring at the belt, and a narrowing
effect toward the hem of the skirt
will be in high favor. Coats are to be
AZ to 80 inches long with emphasis on
high ~buttouing collars and a tendency
toward sloping back seams The cut
will be irregular at the bostom, long
or in the back than at the front. In
dressy and novelty coats shorter
| sngths will be shown. The combina-
.ticn of pile fabrics. the use or wide
belt effects below the waist line and
a fancier coat, mandarin sleeves and
draped effects will be favored treat
meute.
