BENEVOLENT AID
SOCIETY HELPING
DESTITUTE Ones
SEVERAL CASES IN AMERICUS
WHEREIN FOOD AND CLOTH
ING ARE NEEDED.

The ladies of the Benevolent Aid So
ciety, as winter approaches, are al
ready receiving numerous appeals for
assistance from unfortunate poor in
Americas and are alternating such dis
tress as far as their limited resources
will permit. The Aid society is COM
posed of some of Americas noblest
women, and while it has no treasury
or fund upon which to depend in its
work of succor and relief it is, never
theless, helping many needy ones.
This is done, largely, through volun-
tary contributions made by charitably
disposed people here and distributed
by the Aid Society, which keeps in
touch with the deserving poor.
These ladies, among them Mrs. E. B.
Everett, president of the society; Mrs.
R. P. Stackhouse, Mrs. R. L. Maynard,
Mrs. S. H. Hawkins, Mrs. E. A. Hawk
ms, Mrs. c.. J. Sherlock, Mrs. F. B.
Arthur and others, have long per-
formed this labor of love among the
needy poor here. They have visited
many darkened homes-some of them
still darkened-and know where gifts
of food and clothing are most needed.
AS the Thanksgiving season ap-
proaches every means should be made
towns rendering it season of thanks
indeed. Everyone here can help lit
tie with gifts of clothing, shoes, gar
ments of every kind, or food supplies.
No dress or coat is so worn that it
will not be of service to some poor
creature here who possesses neither.
The little children, too, must not be
forgotten in the distribution.
Any member of the society will send
to your home for any clothing tender
ed, if notified by postcard or telephone
call.

homes are needed and only 200 were
provided. Besides this 1900 in cash
was to be raised and only half that
amount is in sight.
The convention is bringing women
from all over the country, and great
plans had been made for entertaining

Five Runs in First Inning
Too Big a Lead for
Home Team to
Overcome.

One inning does not make baseball
game. hut il will often serve 70 win
one. Two good innings will often serve
to turn what might have been battle
into rout. That fact was demon
strated to the complete satisfaction of
some eight hundred spectators at Eb-
bets Field. As a matter of fact, some
little disappointment was felt, for the
st. Louis Cardinals walloped the SUI
perbas by score of TO 2, scoring
their runs in two innings.
The partisan fans lost all real inter
est in the first frame, for right then
and there the hopes of Brooklyn sank
TO rise no more. The Cardinals got
together and scored five runs by tear
ing four hits from the delivery OF
Schmutz. The pitcher added TO his
tribulations by cutting loose n wild
throw on a bunt. Instead of hitting
Daubert's glove with the ball he hit
Leo Dresser in the small of the back,
and two runs counted while Dresser
reached third. He scored hit.
Wilbert Robinson called in Schmutz
and sent Frank Allen to try TO undo
.he damage. Allen went through eight
left handed innings with greater skill
than he usually shows. In the sixth
inning. however, he was drilled for r
brace of tallies. This extra scoring
was like sending smoke to Pittsburgh.

Indian Chief Who Left Nc.
Graw in the Lurch Leads
Tip Tops to Easy
Victory.

Jim Bluejacket. the Indian chief VINO
firted with McGraw, and then was
corralled by the dough offered by the
Wardmen at Washington Park, BROOK
Ign, made his bow yesterday afternoon
against the Kansas City Packers. The
debut was success in every way.
Bluejacket toyed with the opposing
batsmen and held them runless, while
his teammates made two tallies.
Another Indian chief, in the person
of Johnson, once with the Reds, was
Bluejacket's rival on the mound.
Johnson got off to a poor start, the
Tip Tops scoring two runs in the first
inning. Johnson had an slibi in the
fact that of late he has been doing
most of his warming up in court. Then,
too, he has been forced TO dodge in
functions at frequent intervals, and
this perhaps made him shy about show
ing his wares right off the reel.
The first inning, which AS il turned
out, decided the outcome of the game,
Anderson began inauspiciously by
being tossed out by Kenworthy. Dele
hanty did not get a chance to hit the
ball, as Johnson failed TO hurl it with
in reach of the bat. So Del walked
and the trouble was started.
Grggs lined savage drive toward
right field, but Delehanty unfortu-
nately got in the way and was called
out. Steve Evans, who had perfect
day with the stick, doubled, scoring
Griggs. Holman then hit a short fly
to right, which neither Gilmore nor
Stovall could get to, and Evans raced
home. Westerzil ended the inning
with fly to Coles.
The best chance the Packers had
to score came in the sixth inning, and
it was in this frame that Bluejacket
showed what a cool, calm and collected
Indian he was. Brown singled for the
Packers, and went to second when
Coles grounded to Griggs. Gilmore
hit safely, but Brown was held on
third. It looked bad just then for
Bluejscket, and Bert Maxwell was
hustled out to right field by Bradley
to prepare for the rescue. But Blue
jacket was not dsmayed. He wheeled
around in the box and with a majestic

by Shutting Out Packers

wave of his arm assured his team
mates that he was equal to the occs-
sion.
The fact that Kenworthy, the Packer
second baseman, who had already made
two hits, was at the bat had no terrors
for the Indian. Those other safeties
had been in the nature of gifts, for
they came at "A time when they could
do no damage. Now it was different.
One strike whizzed over the plate with
the speed of bullet. Kenworthy made
nc attempt TO meet il. He couldn't,
for he didn't see the ball Again Blue
Jacket let fly, Kenworthy swinging long
after the sphere was in Lands NIT.
The Indian appeared determined not
to waste any energy, for he hurled a
third speedy one that was about TO
cut the rubber when kenworthy, still
in dsze. stuck out his bat. The ball
made high fight and then began to
drop directly over the Indians head.
II is customary at such times for the
third baseman or the first sacker to
waltz across the diamond and save the
pitcher the trouble of catching the ball.
Blueiacket doesn't believe in SUCH
tactics, and he gave warning growl as
he saw Westerzil dashing toward him.
The latter paid no heed and perched
right under the dropping sphere. Then
Biuejacket acted He pushed the little
third baseman aside and reached up
and caught the ball some eight feet off
the ground. Gilmore and Brown were
both over the plate by this time, but
the Indian had made their sprinting
useless.
The game was called at the end Of
the seventh inning to enable the Kan
sas City team to catch train for the
West.

Derrick sacrificed up the first base

the hit would easily have scored

Notes of Game
at Polo Grounds

Mathewson struck out Knisely in
the first inning with three pitched
balls, and the outfelder never even
moved his bat.
"Big Six" threw many more curves
than usual, which may have accounted
for his weakening in the final innings.
Knisely and Derrick both broke into
the hit column for the first time this
series.
Larry Doyle and Heinie Zimmerman
"kidded back and forth" during the
game, but Zimmerman had the last
laugh.
Derrick made fine catch in the
fourth inning, when he went all the
wav into short left field 10 get
Merkle's puzzling little fly.
In the sixth when Leach hit q high
foul he did not wait TO see 1t caught,
hut simply trotted out toward centre
field. When the ball came down into
McLean's mitt Leach was already IN
position.
Mathewson came within an ace Of
heating out bunt. an unheard OF per-
formance for him, in the seventh inn
ing The ball was midway between
Humphreys and Archer and each
waited upon the other.
