OF some catastrophe; no one Knows what
Today all evil spirits scheme and plot
This is the thirteenth day, and Friday, too;
A combination all have learned to rue;
Finding that 1t inseparably links
Itself with countless multitudes of jinx
Eschew the ladder, avoid the smashing
of mirrors, regardless OF the provocation.
It is Friday, the 18th, the great day of
the happenings that shouldn't be. Panics
and bad luck thrive today.
Commuters surging from Pennsyl-
yania ferryboat at Market street wharf
suddenly came to a halt today when
some one yelled, Look out, it's Friday
the 18th"
Instead of rushing as usual up the
gangplank, the commuters walked In sim
gle file and with extreme caution. Ac-
cordingly. no one was injured.
The whole city papitated with superstl-
tious fear. The closest of friends became
suspicious of each other
Beware" was the watchword every
where.
Even the temperature, against which
there has been little objection lately, went
up. Starch ran out of shirts and collars
before floods OF perspiration.
The careful man avoids everything to-
day that might lead to anything. He
walks under no ladders. He uses the
utmost care at street crossings, stair
ways and other points where he might
collide violently with something heavier
than himself or fall and get hurt.
Some men did not eat, fearing ptomaine
poisoning. No one should lend money

Automobile Accident.

Showed from his course by the ma
chine of Arthur h. Blair, Hagerstown,
several children were probably saved
from serious injury last Tuesday after
noon on West Patrick street, by the
presence of mind of Oliver Wren, near
Frederick, who swerved just in time
to avoid the carriage full of children
and crashed into an automobile of
Waynesboro dentist. The Waynes-
boro machine was not badly dam
aged, but Mr.. Wren towed the machine
to a garage in Frederick and had the
necessary repairs made.
1t was stated from the scene of the
accident that the Hagerstown car was
driven in front of the machine of Mr..
Wren, who in order that he might
avoid hitting carriage containing
children took the alternative of
smashing the Waynesboro car.
Blair stopped his machine for q
few minutes, but did not return to the
scene of the wreck. He did not give
his name. His license number was
1874.
None of the occupants of Mr..
Wren's machine were injured.

.LEAKE MAY PITCH
FOR KENNEY'S CLUB

Dick Kenney has submitted the
name of Al Leake of Marion, O.. as
the regular twirler for the Richmond
team for the remainder of the season.
This sweet tWirler, who worked a cou-
pie of games for Rushville last year,
would make a real man on the mound
for the locals, and as he is willing to
sign up providing the club agrees to
his terms, it begins to look after all as
though Richmond would not be so bad
off in the box
Leake has what many other tWirlers
lack. that is control. and besides has
a varied assortment of shoots that
when they are breaking right are prac-
tically unhittable. He has been work
ing for the Marion club in the Ohio
State league but as he can get good
terms from the local club and work at
his trade throughout the weak, he has
decided to accept kenney's offer The
clubs officials will probably pass fav-
Orably upon this twirler and he will
work his first game for Richmond
