Asking pardon for the Biblical refer
cree, but il is time to admonish the
multitude Of pin rollers that ''the first
shall be last and the last shall be first
and that seems to be the very trend
of things bowling. How would You like
to be q member Of q team which rolled
a game of $50 and be beat OUT by a
club which came through With a total
of 5s2, and tail-end club at that? This
very thing happened to the Nationals,
of the National Capital League, who
amassed a sum of ESQ pins in their first
effort, only to have the Brunswicks,
who have been struggling along for
weeks at the bottom of the standings,
put over q string which amounts to 59o.
Get your breath. and we will con-
tinue with the details. Those two
games, 5sG accredited to the Nationals,
and 592 which today appears on the
credit side OF the Brunswick ledger, are
two of the highest games ever rolled IN
a match game in Washington. and it
viii probably be many moons before
either mark is battered. None short
of q Brocktonian could dare assault
such scores. and Washington is now
said to be we'll fortified against a
Brockton invasion.
Noisy Watson is chiefly responsible
fo- the commotioE which was noted in
the bowling community last night, his
one game OF 13S being the best string
turned in by any individual Robinett.
lead-off man, contr. .buted a round OF
I30 in the extraoi binary game in which
Brunswicks shattered all previous stan
dards, and Johnson, Thomas and Week
eriey gave the two former the best
kind of support.
McKnew and Robinett each got 125's
in the third game, which, when the
books were balanced. amounted TO just
SO pins not a mean game by any sense
of reckoning. Tommy George helped
most in anassing that big game for the
Nationals. his game OF 125 being the best
rolled by any member of the team.
Give these figurcs your most careful
and undivided scrutinization, for 1t will
require nothing short of a miracle to
provide another set for your enlighten-
ment elevation, and uplift:

Being a farmer and understanding the

can easily see why Connie Mack wants
to Plant his field with a different crop
next season.
Princeton beats Yale today. Walter
Camp will probably pick only eleven Yale
players for his All-America team.
Walter Camp favors no colleges in
picking his players for the AlI-Amcri-
can team. All Walt demands is that
the name of the college start with Y.

CITY OF SACO
DEFENDANT IN
NOVEL LAW SUIT
Claims in Suit City Should Pay
For Care of Three
Poor Children

Saco, Me-, July 15.-Papers were
served this afternoon on City Clerk
George e. Grant of Saco in a novel
law suit in which Mrs Lydia w. Rice,
county agent for the York County So
ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Children, is the plaintiff and the city
of Saco the defendant. Mrs. Rice sues
for the recovery of expenses for car
ing for three children of Mr.. and Mrs.
A. w Written of this CITY, This is the
first time suit OF this character has
been brought in York county court
and 1t Is understood that the State
Board of Charities and Corrections is
interested in the action. It is probable
that eventually the suit will find its
way to the Maine law court as a test
case.
The children were taken from their
parents early in January, 1913, because
of alleged neglect and placed in the
temporary care Of Mrs. Rice, agent.
until provision could be made for
them or until further order by the
court Their condition, because of the
alleged neglect, has been such that
permanent homes could not be obtain
ed for them and no further order of the
court has been made. The contention
if the city is that this temporary or
der has expired and that the city is
no longer under obligations to pay the
expenses of the children while in the
care of Mrs. Rice. Mrs. Rice contends
that such construction is not only IL
legal but not in accord with the spirit
of the day. The children have been
taken from their parents because of
alleged neglect and If the order of the
court has expired, are outcasts, with
no person or institution responsible
for them. She believes she is respon-
sihle Tor them until relieved by the or
der of the court and says that the city
must pay the expense of caring for
them while under her charge.
