two runs and tied up the game. Mack
who for three innings had hesitated
about removing Coombs, finally did so,
sending Plank in TO pitch the last half
OF the tenth. Doyle, after getting two
strikes, pOked a short fly to left field
which fell safe, and which he TUNED
into double by fast sprinting and a
good slide. Snodgrass hunted toward
third base to advance Doyle. 1t was
an easy out at first but Plank elected
TO try for Doyle at third, that player
beating the throw, both runners being
safe. Murray, who had struck out
three times during the game, again
failed, sending a short fly to Murphy,
on which, neither runner tried to ad-
vance. Merkle. after getting two
strikes, hit a fly ball to right field,
close to the stands. 1t was not a long
hit, but because of the peculiar ar
rangement of the stands at the Polo
grounds, it was certain that Murphy
would have a hard throw TO make, as
the ball would drive him close to the
stand.
1t Looked Foul.
was sitting in the press box watch
ing the game. From there it seemed
certain that the ball would go foul
by a foot Every one figured the ball
would be foul, and that Murphy would
wisely let it drop. When Murphy made
the catch, the angle on the play, as
seen from the press stand, made it
seem that Murphy had pulled q prize
bone" because Doyle easily beat his
throw to the plate after the catch,
scoring the winning run Of the game.
Ball Was Really Fair.
Gotham fans were enjoying a huge
joke at Murphy's expense. L knew
Danny was a bright player, so
thought that possibly he had made the
right play. After the game I dropped
around to the dressing room of the
umpires. The field umpire, who was
standing within a few yards of Murphy
when he made the catch, said the ball
would have been fair a foot had Muir
ply allowed it to drop safe. Instead
of having pulled a bone, Murphy made
a good play, the only one possible He
knew the ball was fair, he realized
that his only chance was to make the
catch and try for the play at the
plate. Had Murphy taken a chance
and let the ball drop without making
an effort, and it f'u safe, a bone"
could certainly have been charged to
Murphy, for he would then have failed
to take advantage of his one and only
chance. Murphy, instead of drawing
censure for the play in that important
game, should have been praised.

not get his pardon. A review az IN

guilty of nineteen infractions OF tn
prison rules-fighting. cutting his cell

eRAspIMe At THE SHADOW

No man-especially if he is mar
ried-would deny woman any right
she demands. Take the earth and
give us peace, but why does woman
long for the ballot?
When all is said and done, is not
the selection of the butcher more i'm
portant to the home than the election
OF a mayor; is not the employment Of
the dairyman far more important
event in the life of the children than
the appointment of a postmaster; is
not the selection of books for the
family library more important than
voting bonds for jail and court house?
Why does woman lay aside the i'm.
portant things in life? Why leave the
substance and grasp at the shadow?
Be it said to the credit of woman
hood that it Is not, as rule. the
woman who rocks the cradle that
wants to cast the ballot; it is not
the mother who teaches her children
to say Nov lay me down to sleep"
that harangues the populace: it is not
the daughter who hopes to reign as
queen over a happy home that longs
for the uniform of the .sutfragette. It
Is, as rule. the woman who despises
her home, neglects her children and
scorns motherhood that leads paradss
aud smashes windows.

UNIVERSAL PEACE

This nation is now in the midst Of
a controversy as to how best to pro
mote universal peace. That question
We will leave for diplomats to dis
cuss, but peace within nations is no
less important than peace between
nations and it is heavily laden with
prosperity for every citizen within
our commonwealth.
Many leading politicians and ofttimes
political platforms have declared war
upon business and no cabinet crisis
ever resulted. Many men have stood
in higk places and hurled "gas bombs"
at industry; thrust bayonets into bus.
mess enterprises and bombarded ag.
riculture with Indifference. Party
leaders have many times broken dip.
lomatic relations with industry; sent
political aviators spying through the
affairs of business, and political sub
marines have sent torpedoes crushing
into the destiny of commerce. Dur
ing the past quarter of century we
have fought many duel with prog
ress, permitted many politicians to
carry on a guerrilla warfare against
civilization and point pistol at the
heart of honest enterprise.
No man should be permitted to Cry
out for universal peace until his rec
ord has been searched for explosives,
for no vessel armed or laden with
munitions of war should be given
clearance to sail for the port of Uni
versal Peace. Let us by all means
have peace. but peace, like charity,
should begin at home.

INSPIRATION OF = %.
THE COUNTY FAIR
BY Peter Radford.

When you enter the agricultural de-
partment of the county fair, you feel
your soul uplifted and your life takes
on anew power-that is the inspira-
ton of the soil. You are overpowered
by the grandeur and magnifcence Of
the scene-that is the spirit of the
harvest You can hear the voice Of
nature calling you back to the soil
that is opportunity knocking at your
door. 1t is a good chance to spend
quiet hour in contact with the purity
and perfection of nature and to sweet
en- your life with it's fragrance, elevate
your ideals with it's beauty and expand
your imagination with it's power
These products as food are fit for
the gods, and as an article of COM
merce they ought to bring tip-top
prices on any market in the world.
The products of the soil are teachers
and preachers as well. Their beauty
gives human life its first entertain
ment, their perfection stirs the genius
in artists; their purity furnishes mod
els for growth of character and their
marvellous achievements excite our
curiosity and we inquire into the Won
derful process of nature.
Before leaying the parlor of agricul-
ture where nature is parading in her
most graceful attire and science is
climbing the giddy heights of perfec-
ton, let us pause and take a retro
spective view. How many of you
know that after these wonderful prod
ucts are raised, they can seldom be
marketed at a profit? Take the blush
ing Elberta, for example-they were
fed to the hogs by the carload last
year. The onion-the nations favorite
vegetable-every year rots by the
acre in the Southwest for want of
market and as result hundreds of
farmers have lost their homes. Cot
ton-nature's capitalist goes
begging on the market at less than
cost of production.
1t is great to wander through the
exhibits while the band is playing
Dixie" and boast of the marvellous
fertility of the soil and pride ourselves
on our ability to master science, but
it is also we'll to remember that there
is market side to agriculture that
does not reflect it's hardships in the
exhibits at county fair.

 When one woman tells you that another woman is the big gest gossip in town and that the gossip's own closet is just jam med with skeletons" what do you think?
 When a politician promises you the earth with an iron fence around 1t and the moon with all of it's green cheese if you will only vote for him, what do you think?
