Once.
HACKS HEAVE OVER FIRST
RESULTS IN A DEFEAT
paducah Comes From Behind and
Takes Contest Before Large
Crowd on Home Grounds.

After apparently having the game
salted away for keeps, Cairo blew
yesterday and Paducah walked away
with the first contest of the season
on the home grounds. 10 TO S. the
locals were five runs ahead for a
time and even though Paducah kept
gradually drawing nearer, the con-
test should have ended victory for
Herbert's men, to Z, Catcher Hack
throwing the game away in the
ninth.
With the exception of this one
misplay Hack caught q dandy game,
taking care of everything that came
his way and digging one out of the
dirt in big league style, but this one
error came just at the place where
it hurt.
Pitcher Forrest worked the first
seven innings and started the eighth,
but after he had given the first maa
up three balls Herbert replaced him
with Hendee, who finished the game.
Yarmouth began for the visitors,
but was yanked out in favor OF
Nicholson after Cairo had made six
runs in the first round. Kuykendall
finished the game for Paducah.
The visitors made one score in the
first inning and Cairo came back
with six in their half. The local
boys batted once around and one for
good measure.

ARMY WORM MOTHS
 BEGINNING TO APPEAR
State Authorities See Little to Fear From Second Crop of the Insects.

Following upon the recent invasion of the sections of the state by the caterpillar to which the army worm is the same appropriately applied from it's numbers and means of travel ing. the moths of the species are be- ginning to appear in large numbers in some parts. In this particular vii cinity the period of metamorphasis has rot quite been reached, but within a few days it would not be surprising to see a good many of the moths in New London county.
 The army worms after several days of blight, during which his numbers were pretty we'll decimated by the abundant use of arnenate of lead, plac- ed upon the tender grass and leaves he delighter to devour and by the oth- CT determined measures with poison and blow, betook himself into the ground as was predicted and now aft CT this intervening period they have metamorphosed into these moths. Liv- ing on air alone these moths are now busy laying the eggs which will eventually hatch out into another series of army worms. but it was gist w. E. Britton, that the worms will not breed so numerously as be- fore. There is little cause to fear a serious invasion it is stated and if will be the middle of September be- fore the new worms will be big enough to do any damage at the ear- Hest and by that time there will be little left for them to damage.
 Dr. Britton thought that rye, grass, and late season crops might suffer from the worms. but at thata time the greater part of the harvest would be gathered. "The fact that many of the army worms were destroyed when they appeared a few weeks ago, will make the number now satisfactorily smaller. Many Of the moths where they appear can be killed and that will also greatly decrease the breeding of the worms. Many get caught in the arc lights, or are killed by the heat from them, but the lights nowadays do not catch the bugs as well as the old style of globe used to. Sometimes the globes would get half filled up with bugs. Many of the army moths get crushed on the walks and roads, an diff any are seen lying about in the daytime they may be easily killed by spraying with kerosene. Dr. Britton has never heard of the army worm appearing in the same locality for two consecutive years.
 Prof. D. H. Jenkins director of the Connecticut Horticultural station hopes for New London count, also ex- pressed his belief that there would be no further damage by the army worm this year. He thought that the pahasites which destroy the chrysalis and young worms would play a large factor in diminishing the mum Der of worms.

By the early part of next week, prob- ably on Monday, the first rails will be laid in the trolley track extension in the Salem turnpike from Backus cor ner. The track laying gang under di- rection of Roadmaster Thomas Guinan has pushed the work ahead this week in spite of the handicap of the heat and humidity, and has the track all excavated as far as the bridge. That the heat and the humidity were an actual handicap was shown by the fact that on one day, Wednesday, four men, an Irishman and three Italians, dropped on the job and have not re- turned to work yet.
 The track is laid at the southerly side of the turnpike. close to the gut- ter. A number of the row of trees along that side of the street have had to be cut down or trimmed out 10 make room for the 1,6oO feet of new trackage.
