we have one game safely tucked
away, anyhow. That first game ia
always a good one to win. and ev-
erybody can rest assured that the
boys and l feel mighty glad that we
succeeded in getting the jump on
the opposition.
Straight baseball from beginning
to end won the game for US. When
we got a man on with none out, ]
called for the sacrifice play almost
invariably. Only once did I use the
hit-and-run play, and that time It
didn't succeed because Shore pitched
the ball almost over Whitted's head,
so George couldn't help out Luderus,
and he was thrown out at second.
I am we'll satisfied with the way the
boys performed. Not one OF them
showed the slightest nervousness. In

BY IRIS SPEAKER.
PHILADELPHIA. Oct, al

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 9.-Alex-
ander is a great pitcher, but I be-
lieve we have greater in our league,
judging by what we saw of him to-
day. We had thought Alexander
for more than q week. We felt that
we would see something we couldn't
see (if such an expression is pos
sible). But our club hit the Phila-
delphia star and hit him harder
than Shore was batted as far as
solid smashes 60.
It was the first time I had ever
swung a bat on his delivery and
Alexander looked good, pitching
carefully all the time with plenty Of
stuff on the ball. But the fact that
we had men left on bases every in
ming showed we got to him right
along. We all feel today we will
be able to get to him more substan-
tally his next time out, and we be-
lieve we will beat him. We also be-
lieve we will win the series. The
Phillies certainly got all the breaks
of the ball game this afternoon.
Shore, our pitcher. deserved to win.
He pitched the best game I have ever
seen turned In during q worlds series
In my opinion. his actual work in the
box was superior to Alexander's, al
though "Alec" got the results.
The same kind Of pitching that Shore
gave US today will win tho series for
us. It ought to have won the ball game
this afternoon. By saying this. I am
not trying to detract from Alexander,
but no didn't look anything like as
good against us as he did to US the day
we saw him from the grandstand.
Shut-out the Boston Braves with sin
gle hit. He worked a heady game all
the way, mixing UP his stun and cross
ing us sometimes. He pitched his heart
out in the pinches but Lewis smashed
one ball with a man on. and brought
home our only run in the eighth in
ming. Alexander did not work as II he
knew the weaknesses OF our batters,
but seemed to be feeling around. He
kept the ball on the corner of the plate
most OF the time. and showed good con-
troll. He also kept II on the outside to
us left-hand siders. evidently being
afraid some one would lift one over the
fence. That was good judgment.
We figured that with a pitcher going
the way Shore was. one run or two
would win the ball game for US. and one
run would have won had we gotten any

VALLEY SHOULD MAKE GOOD
SHOWING ATDENVER MFAII,

If the San Luis valley embraces
an onportunity that has been put up
~ If this week, it will be able to
make a showing before a grceter
crowd than ever before.
This idea of publicity and good,
straight advertising seemed to appeal
very much to the various counties
and boosters of the valley, and a
movement appears to be on now to
carry it out.
The proposition involves a valley
exhibit, probably by the several coun-
Ties in unison, at the International
Soils Products Exposition at Denver.
september 26-October 10. This ex-
position is put on by the Interna-
tional Farm Congress, whose ses-
sions will be October At This con-
gress is the outgrowth of the old
Dry-Farming Congress. which has en-
oyed such an enviable reputation
and such good history for the past
ten years.
Annually the congress goes to
new state and there puts on a years
campaign in the name of good agri-
culture and to help that state in some
Of its problems. Colorado happens
to be the state this year. This is
fortunate for the San Luis valley.
The congress puts on an EXPOSE
ton this year for longer period
than ever before. 1t will be fifteen
days-September 26-October 10, or
the week Immediately following the
Pueblo State Fair. Thus, it will be
possible for the San Luis valley coun-
ties to go to both places with prac-
ticaly one exhibit and at a minimum
Of expense. This is now being con-
sidered by several of the valley coun-
ties

A day full of enjoyment was had;
dancing, base ball, fishing and noun
tain climbing being some of the
amusements. The tennis tourna-
ment which was to have been played
between Monte Vista and Del Norte
was postponed on account of the con-
dition of the courts.
Most excellent ice cream, cofee
and lemonade were furnished to the

INDIANA INDICTMENTS

Indictments charging conspiracy
TO commit felony were returned
Tuesday against Thomas Taggart,
democratic national committeeman:
Mayor Joseph E. Bell, Superintend-
ent of Police Samuel B. Perrott of
Indianapolis, ex-Mayor Dom M. Rob-
erts of Terre Haute, and 1874 other
Indianapolis politicians, by the Ma
ricn county grand jury, which has
been probing the 1914 election in
Indianapolis
Bonds for the defendants were set
at sums ranging from $500 for the
lesser lights to $40, 900 for the more
prominent politicians involved.
The election in November 1914,
involved the election of straight
ticket and congressman. The indict-
ment contained forty-eight' counts
against each of the 12S defendants
and the charges were identical
against all.
Among others indicted were Su-
perintendent of the Workhouse John
O'Connor, former Chief of Police
Charles Metzger, Detective Lewis
Larsh, Police Lieutenants Maurice
Murphy and Oscar Merrill, E. j.
c'Big Chief") OLeary, and others
prominent locally in political and Of
fetal circles, including former Coun-
ty Prosecutor Frank P. Baker of
Marion county.
The charges contained in the in
dictments are similar to those re-
turned in federal court in the Terre
Haute cases.
Practically every possible violation
of the election law is charged, "stuf-
fng ballot boxes, coercion, strong
arm work, persecution. the manipu-
lation of the ballots to favor certain
candidates, etc. These methods. it
is alleged, were employed by the
conspirators with the consent and
knowledge of each other actively
participating in each alleged in
stance.
Politically big majority Of those
indicted are democrats More than
a dozen are present officials. either
police, county or city.
1t is alleged the other conspirators
united with Perrott to solicit and &C
cept from saloonkeepers large sums
of money" In consideration for the
contribution, according to the indict-
ment, the saloonkeepers were to. re-
ceive protection" in case OF law
violation and were to be permitted
to keep their places of business open
Sundays and legal holidays.
Floaters were imported from Vigo
and Hendricks counties and other
states in primaries, the indictment
alleges.

r. H. Faxon, Kansas newspaper
man, who owns paper at Garden
City, in the Arkansas valley, and who

Agent f. H. Thomas looking into
prospects They have been all over
the valley, into all the counties, see
ing commissioners, business men,
boosters, commercial bodies, farm
ers, etc, and have made much prog
ress.
1t is the ideal chance for the val
ley" said Mr. Thomas. 1T is big
chance, for instance, to lend dis
tinction to the pea, stock, and Mar
quis wheat industry of the valley, as
well as various other things. 1t is
too good a chance to overlook.
Mr.. Faxcn was in the valley sew
eral times in 1910 when he was sec
rotary of the Irrigation Congress and
Exposition at Pueblo, and helped
form the San Luis Valley CONNER

in commercial organization. news
