But five hits were made off Whitaker and his team won both games by a l to score. The first game went nine innings and the sec ond twelve In major league baseball, Reulbach of the Chicago Cubs, on Sep tember 26, 19O8 pitched a double-head- CT consisting of two nine-inning games against Brooklyn, winning both with out giving the SuperbaS a run.

 Toronto and Jersey City clubs of the International league, were playing a twenty inning scoreless tie game in which Pitcher Hearne of the Toronto club, twirled the full distance, allow ing but six hits.

 The chronicles of the days unusual baseball features do not end with these feats- August 12 marked the seven teenth anniversary of Napoleon Lajoie's entry into big league baseball. It was also Christy Mathewsons thirty-third birthday and he celebrated by being a l material factor in the Giants victory over the Brooklyn club in an eleven in | h1ng game.

AUTO SALESMAN
SLABS HIMSELF
IN UNIQUE WAY


New York, Feb. AFTER stabbing
himself to the heart with an old
cavalry sabre, Louis Duryea, an auto
mobile salesman put on a new sweat
er and his coat and walked down
stairs, today. to fall a moment later
and die. When his body was found a
few minutes afterward, the ambulance
physician was called in. With no out
ward signs of the cause of death a
certificate of heart failure was made
out.
The body was taken to an under
takers shop where the discovery of
the narrow, deep cut was made Exa-
mination of Duryea's room, disclosed
that he had tied the sabre under a
chair with the point protruding. sew
eral inches up through the seat. It
was believed that the young man had
unbalanced himself over the back of
the chair and then let his body down
upon the sabre point That he put
the sweater on afterward was proved
by the fact that it had not been
pierced by the sword.

LOW WAGES CAUSE
FOR immortality OF
WORKING WOMEN
So Says Senator Works In
Endorsing La Toilette
Eight Hour Bill

Washington, Feb. 1.-The public
should be willing to pay an increase
in the cost of living if such an ad-
vance is necessary to give working
women decent wages and protect them
from the temptations of immortality to
which they are now subject because
of meagre pay, according sto the views
expressed by Senator Works, of Cali
fornia, today. The Senator endorsed
the LaFo1lette bill establishing an
eight hour day for working women in
Washington. He told the Senate COM
rnittee which heard protests from To-
cal business men against the measure,
that ''low wages are the cause for I'M
morality among working women
They go to the streets to increase
their small wages, y he declared. "This
measure is aimed at improving the
moral life by giving these women a
decent chance. If the employer is to
suffer loss by granting fair hours
and decent wages, then would be
in favor of having the public bear the
loss.''
Senator Dillingham;, Of Vermont, de-
c1ared that the measure, if used as a
model for the State. would take away
the right of free contract" from many
women employed in country towns
who would by this action be deprived
of the chance to secure employment.
He thought 10 hours not too long for
stenographers in law offices and for
clerks in stores outside the large cities.
and suggested that places of women
would be filled by men were wages in
