Locals Crippled By Absence
Of Three Regulars
But Played A Very Excellent
Fielding Game
Losing Out By Failure To

Losing Out By Failure To
Bunch Hits At Critical Times

With three regulars missing from the
lineup, Mt. Vernon battled bravely, but
without avail, against the Bates Pi-
rates of Columbus Sunday and only
let down when Gleich knocked out
home run in the first Of the ninth and
gave the Pirates the game, to 8.
Bowden pitched excellent bail and
the locals fielding was unusually clear
of errors, but the inability to bunch hits
caused the downfall of the Mt. Vernon
club in what was considered by all a
very good game.
The Columbus team tailed twice in
the first inning. McCreedy famed
Nadjek hit one out over first and then
scored on Trautman's three-bagger into
left field. A wild pitch by Bowden let
Trautman in. Bateman attempted to
bunt on the third strike and was de-
clared out, while Jorgenson tailed the
third out by the route of Maison to
Mondron.
Mt. Vernon failed to land run in
the first. In the second, Sullivan wal
loped the ball into deep center to the
tune of three bases. Porter hit an easy
grounder toward third base and went
to second while McCreedy tried to trap
Sullivan. A sacrifice fly by Thompson
brought Sullivan in, Maison and Bow
den making the other outs.
Trautman landed on first In the
fourth on Porter's muff and was pushed
to third by Bateman's hit over second,
scoring on Jorgenson's single into left.
Bateman was caught at second on
Thompson's peg and double play by
Popejoy and Mondron retired Jorgen-
son and Gleich.
Popejoy, in the sixth, hit out clean
double-sacker, took third on Sullivan's
bingle and stole home. Sullivan stole
second, went to third on wild throw
by Jorgenson and remained there when
Porter, Thompson and Maison went out
in order. In the eighth, Mt. Vernon
made her last run. Mondron walked,
Bowden flied out to Bateman and Max
we'll went to first on Dunnick's booting
the ball, advancing Mondron to second
Sapp hit an easy one to McCreedy and
the latter tagged Mondron, Maxwell

single. Sapp was called out in a doubt
full decision at the plate.
With the score to at the end oi
the eighth, things looked like an extra
inning game until Gleich swatted Out
his homer. The ball rolled under the
fence, but Sullivan's arm was Ions
enough to reach it. In the locals half

A "HUNT .
Did Anyone See One Around
On Saturday?

Fairly bristIing with arms, capari-
soned in all the accoutrements of a
true huntsman and carrying a large
blunderbuss, G. A. Young of Spring
field, Ohio, rolled into the city Saturday
noon and loudly asked where the
hunt" was going to take place. The
blank faces that this question pro-
duced would have put Mt. Vernon in
the "boob" class for Mr.. Young, had it
not been for some sharp bystanders
seizing upon the idea that the outing
of the Knox county Fish and Game
association was referred to.
Thereupon, the location and the dis
tance of the said hunt" was carefully
described to the Springfield sport
much to his dismay and chagrin. But
like a true sportsman, he took careful
inventory of his goods and chattels,
made his way to the nearest garage
and hired an auto to convey him to the
fertile field of sport he had been led to
believe existed in the county Of Knox
and passed a delightful few hours with
our foremost manipulators of the gun
and rod.

GREEN
Explains Compensation Law
In Public Address

State Senator William Green OF
Coshocton addressed good-sized
audience on the public square Satur-
day evening, in which he took up at
some length the workmen's compensa-
tion law and explained its provisions
in a very satisfactory manner. He
compared the good conditions that
have come about to the injured work
man and his dependents under the
law with conditions that formerly
existed when he had to go into court
to get anything, and then received
very little. Senator Green is candi'
date for the Democratic nomination
for congress in this district and took
occasion to define his position on ques
tions in the public mind. Senator
Green is a good speaker and was
listened to attentively.

The fair is an institution. 1t is a
measure of it's community. 1t is not

what his neighbors are doing. Our fair

is now one of the best equipped of its
kind in the United States

gained and the great demand for its
graduates, is attracting students to 1t

JUBILANT
Is Governor Cox Over The
Outlook
Visits Over The State Are
Pleasing To Him

Columbus, Ohio, August 3.-Bene-
fitted by day Of rest at his home
here Governor James NJ. Cox was ju-
bilant to-day over political prospects
Although he refrained from making
any statement concerning the prim-
sry election a week from tomorrow,
the Governor and his advisors con-
slider that the only thing remaining
is to determine the size of the major
ity.
Last week was the most remark
able l ever put in on the stump" said
Governor Cox, in reviewing the situa-
ton today. Il visited the hill coun-
ties in Southeastern Ohio, the north
eastern part Of the state, and the rich
agricultural districts of the north
west. Everywhere conditions noted
we're the same. 1t is my judgment
there will be more Progressive and
Republican votes cast for the Dem
ocratic ticket this fall than were ever
cast for the nominees of the Democra-
tic party.
From what / heard and saw / can
say candidly that the tax issue is set
tied. Not only has the Warnes law
been vindicated, but the people are
pleased with its operation and are
certain in nearly every county to re-
ceive the benefits of the increase. At
many points 1 asked the audience
this question: Have the valuations
of your farms and homes and person
al property been increased?
"The answer l invariably got was a
lusty roar of noes Then l continu-
ed that since there has been an in
crease of hundreds of millions some
one must be standing heavy ad6i-
tions. It's the tax dodgers was the
answer almost invariably. One far
mer told me he thought that some of
the former assessors who were so
negligent as to allow property to es-
cape taxation should be prosecuted
for violation of their oaths of Office
The effort to stir up those who failed
to pass the civil service tests has fal
len down badly, and it seems that fur.
ther fight against the new taxation
listing system as embodied in the
Warnes act is likely to be dropped.
''In Akron l found the workmen
aroused over the danger to the work
mems compensation system If the Ad'
ministration should meet defeat at
the polls in November. The indus
trial centers will be with us and the
rural folks are coming over to our
side very fast One thing that inter
ested the people much was the dis
cussion of the new school code
Nothing SO impressed them as the
fact that 11,OOO teachers are being
trained this summer for the years
work, and at the normal schools
found the places crowded to the capa
city of the institutions

week of speaking, finishing at the big
Duckworth picnic in Cincinnati next
Saturday.
