Hampton sacrificed the big pitcher
along a sack, and Markham drew a
pass. Then Alex DeSha bit off a clean
single to center, Barney spiking the
pan, while Markham was thrown out
at third on beautiful peg from En-
Sue to Lai Tin.
In the seventh Franco developed the
hitting habit, and opened with a
single. Dave Desha was out, third to
first, and at this Juncture Captain
Akana made a costly slip by firing
the ball right back at the third sack
to catch Franco, before Lai Tin got
back to cover it. OF course, the run
came across.
The game was replete with lively
work on the paths, and there were
any number of sensational plays
around the bags. Up to the last inn

great style, keeping his hits well scat

GOV. FOSS COMMENDS
SHERIFF FRANK TRACY
Tells American Prison Association That
Washington County's Jail Keeper Is
Progressive and Humanitarian
Officer"

Indianapolis, Ind, Oct l4.-In ad'
dressing the American Prison association
on "The Ideal Prison System" at the
annual meeting of the association here
yesterday, Gov. Eugene n Foss of Mass
achusetts took occasion to commend the
work OF Sheriff Frank II. Tracy OF
Washington county, VT, saying:
This progressive and humanitarian
officer began to employ his men under a
prison labor law OF 1906 which provided
that the prisoners should be worked un-
der guard. Results were very poor. The
men did as little work as possible and
with little care as to quality.
Finally, Sheriff Tracy commenced on
plan of his own, of giving the men
themselves part of their earnings. He
promised them all they earned above 81
a day, and under this system the results
have been remarkable. Mr.. Tracy says,
we have had many man support his
family from his earnings while serving
time The men are said to work cheer
fully, to save their wages, and to be con-
tented with the terms OF their employ
ment.
Il know, from personal testimony,
that this official has won the respect OF
his men, made friends with them. and
reformed large proportion of them
through cheerful work and through fos.
tering a spirit of manhood"
