BRAVES TIGHTEN
HOLD ON LEAD
Break Even with PhillieS
in Double Bill-No-Hit
Game for Davis.
IRy Teicgraph 10 Tho Tribune. J

Boston, Sept. 9.-"Watch Davis wher
he starts" said George Stallings, man
ager of the Braves, day or two ago,
concerning one of his young pitchers
who has seldom been seen off the bench
this season. And to-day Boston
watched Davis, and was all but breath
less while it gazed, for the youngster,
who was on the nine of Williams Col
lege no longer ago than 1912, shut out
the Phillies without a hit or run.
The victory was vital one, for the
Braves were trounced in the first game
by a score of 10 to 3. Davis took his
game at to 0.
Davis was a member of the New Yorl;
Yankees when Frank Chance first took
charge, but the peerless leader failed
to see his possibilities. The recruit
was wild to-day and put himself in
serious difficulties in the fifth inning,
when he filled the bases with none out.
He rallied gamely, however, and pulled
himself out Of the hole.
Quigley, who umpired behind the bat
was knocked unconscious in the second
inning of the second game, when he
was hit in the throat with foul tip.
lie was carried of the field, but after
being under treatment for half an hour
insisted on returning to his duties. 1t
was necessary for him. however, to
keep an ice pack round his neck for the
rest of the game.
Cochrehan began the first game for
Boston, but was removed after he had
given two bases on balls and had been
found for d double. Crutcher sue
ceeded him, and was badly mauled.
Strand worked in the last two innings
and checked the sluggers Of Philadel-
phia. lineup was the opponent Of Davis
in the second game.
Davis hit well, in addition to pitch
ing in tine fashion. Byrne's poor throw
was directly responsible for two Bos-
ton runs in the second inning, and in
the fourth solid single by Davis
drove home two more.

WANT
SOME LIGHTS
At CROSSINGS
SAY THEY ARE GOING TO PRO-
TEST TO CITY If SOMETHING
is NOT DONE QUICKLY ABOUT
MATTER.

The residents of northwest Ard
more, west of Washington street.
are complaining bitterly about the
lighting of the crossings over the
o., n. NJ. & u Railway, and say
that if something is not done about
the matter at once they will take the
matter in their own hands and see
if the condition can not be remedied.
They say that all the crossings from
Washington street west, with the ex-
ception of the one at the depot are
absolutely dark, and that the cross
ings are dangerous for lack OF illum-
ination. The places designated are
good stands for holdup artists who
might want to relieve some lady Of
her handbag, and besides, without
light, the crossings are dangerous on
account of passing trains.
1t is said there is a controversy on
between the city and the railroad as
to who is to pay for the lights, but
this is of little interest to the gem
eral public. What they want is light
and they are going to have it or
make things lively about the city hall
until relief does come.

WIN. ALEXANDER, WHO PRAC-
TICED LAW IN DALLAS FOR
TWENTY YEARS, KILLED.
SON ALSO WOUNDED
Son Of the Dead Man Rushed to His
Fathers Aid and Was Shot in the
Breast and Index Finger Of Left
Hand Shot OFF.

Los Angeles, Cal, Dec. 22.--Wil-
liam NJ. Alexander, retired attorney
and millionaire, who was for many
years resident of Dallas, Texas,
was shot and killed here this morn
ing by one of two burglars, whom
he discovered in his home.
His son. William, in endeavoring to
aid his father, was shot in the breast
and another bullet cut off the index
finger of his left hand.
Miss Penelope Alexander, one of
the daughters, heard the shots fired
by her brother and rushed to his aid.
With silver-backed hair brush sh"
beat the burglar on the head as he
struggled to free himself from the
grasp of her wounded brother. The
burglar finally broke away from the
grasp of the brother and sister and
escaped.
Alexander practiced law in Dallas,
Texas, for twenty years. He moved
from Dallas to Washington, three
years ago, where his two daughters
attended school. The family spent
last summer in Europe and had re-
turned to their home here only a
week ago.

To EXEMPT
. COTTON HELD
BY FARMERS
GOVERNOR ELECT WILLIAMS
STATES THAT HE WILL so
RECOMMEND IN HIS MESSAGE
TO LEGISLATURE.

Some time ago a delegation OF
Carter county farmers called on
County Attorney Hardy and asked
his advice relative to taxes on cotton
held after the first of January which,
under the law, is taxable.
This is going to be quite a burden
on the farmers of the cotton raising
counties this year as a great deal
of cotton has been held upon the
advice of bankers, merchants and
landlords, which the farmer will have
to pay taxes upon.
Mr.. Hardy wrote to Governor-elect
Williams and asked his advice abort
the matter, and yesterday received a
reply, in which the governor elect
stated that he was going to recon-
mend to the legislature in his mes
sage that all products of the farm
held after the first of the year be
exempt from taxation, and expressed
the opinion that the legislature will
respect his wishes in the matter.
He advised that an amended bill
be prepared and brought before the
legislature for passage which. in all
probability, will be done Immediately
after il convenes. This would give
the farmers a great deal of relief
in all the cotton growing counties.
They have followed the advice of
the bankers, as stated above, and
they do not feel that they are being
treated right, when they are asked
to pay taxes on commodity which,
under normal conditions, would be
marketed before the first of the
year.
