TONORs WITH SHORE AT FIRST.

HONORs WITH SHORE AT FIRST.
For three innings to-day honors were
all with Shore. In tho first half Of the
fourth. however, 1t was Shore himself
who gave the Phllies an opportunity to
score: Paskert dropped a Texas Lacquer
back Of first base just out Of reach OF
Hoblitzell. Cravath was sent In to
sacrifice and sent a fast bunt directly
at Shore. who picked the ball up cleanly
and had plenty Of time to throw Paskert
out at second. Much to the surprise of
his teammates, however. he shot the ball
to first, where Cravath was an easy out.
Luderus went out, Barry to Hoblitzell.
Paskert raced to third. Then Whitfield
barely met a fast one and the ball went
weakly bounding into the infield just over
the pitchers head. Barry made a great
try for an out but Whitfield reached first
half a step ahead of the throw and
Paskert was safely across the plate.
Speaker was given a pass in Boston S
half of the eighth after Scott was out
and went to second on Hoblitzelrs infeld
out Lewis singled to left and Speaker
scored. Duffy" taking second on the
throw-in. II was here that Paskert saved
the game with his startling catch OF
Gardeners drive. Paskert has suffered
much in all preliminary comparisons with
Speaker. whom he opposes In center
field. but that one catch to-day gave
him warm place in the hearts of Phila-
delphia fans.
The way Shore and Alexander were
working at this time indicated the game
might go into many extras but In the
Phillies' half Of the eighth came the
decision. Alexander proved an easy out.
Shore passed Stock. Bancroft then shot
the hit over second. which gave
Barry the opportunity to mako miracle
stop with his bare right hand. Barry.
recovering his balance. started to toss
the ball to second to force Stock but
the bag was bare. Too late Scott realized
his duty and started on dead run for
the keystone. In a forlorn hope Barry
shot the ball to him but Stock was safe
and there were two on instead OF two

Frank Hubbard IS
Fair Director, Too
Gazette Omits Name in Publish
ing List of Director And
Pres. of Board Protests

The Gazette realized last We'd
nesday morning that the big
sins are not always the sins of
commission-the sins Of omis
sion may be just as grievous and
much more unjustifiable because
they are the results Of unexcus-
able carelessness. We were
brought to this realization of
our short coming by the presi-
dent of the agricultural society
marching in and very sternly de-
handing that he be told why
we had omitted F. C. Hubbard's
name from the published list of
county fair directors. We didn't
know why, so we didn't tell him.
Then said president sarcastical-
ly asked if we knew that the
omission of this same name oc-
Cured last year. We admitted
that-because we had to. But
when he insinuated that it would
probably be omitted next year
also, we took exception to his
highhandedness and offered a
wager that it wouldn't be. A
thing may be done once and got
ten away with, and twice ditto
if the doer is a good buffer, but
we don't trust ourselves to put
it over a third time.
However, we don't blame Mr.
President for indulging in a
growl since Mr.. Hubbard is one
of the most active and valuable
members of the board of direc.
tors and this second omission OF
his name has all the appearance
of an intentional slight. AS il
is entirely unintentional, how.
ever, The Gazette asks Mr.. Hub.
bard's pardon and takes pleas
ure in announcing to the public
that he is one Of the efficient
members of the Fair Board fol
