With Aid of Rochester Moves
Up; Schacht in Form

Red" Cranes return to his old
home town yesterday, stirred up tho
baseball fans. There were other stir
ring Incidents The Indians won from
Richmond, score to 8. Up in Can
ada, Rochester put a crimp in Mont
reals ascension. This trio OF victories
put Harrisburg in third place. 1t was
surely a lucky day.
Outside of Harrisburg's good for
tune, Red" Crane held the horse
shoes. His friends took him by sur
prise when they handed him gold
watch and several other gifts, along
with punches of flowers. Gee. it's
great to meet a pal from your home
town." was played by the Good Will
band when Mayor John X. Royal
stopped the game to put one over on
Crane. When all was over Red
Crane remarked ut is also great to
come home and meet your old pals
Richmond Once Dangerous
Richmond was not hard proposi-
ton for Harrisburg. The Climbers are
a lively bunch of youngsters, and they
play sensational baseball They had
the Indians guessing in one inning.
Schacht was the hypnotizer. He had
the Climbers under control all the
time.
Cottrell was not able to stand the
frequent iolts handed him by Harris
burg In the sixth he went soaring,
and when he was taken out he fell on
the players bench. Russell held up
in good style for two innings. Rich
mond's support was peppery, and as
result eight Indians were left loiter-
ing on bases during the game.
In the fourth frame Richmond
chalked up one run. Pick doubled to
center, reached third on Aragon's
single to right and scored on an error
by Heckinger. With one man down
In the sixth, Bates went to first on an
error by Move. Aragon singled.
Red" Crane. the boy from Harrisburg
hit out double, scoring two runs.
pass. sacrifice, and Tooley's single,
helped Harrisburg get man over the
plate in the first Zimmerman's triple,
and Writer'S sacrifice fly brought the
second. In the sixth every man was
up to bat for the Indians. Two men
were walked. one man was hit and
four singles followed in close order.
Three runs were hung up and the
game went on ice for the Indians.

LITTLE DANGER OF OVER-PRo
DUCTION

1t is announced from Washington
that last years big apple crop is prac-
tically sold out. Less than two per
cent. of the fruit remained in the
storage houses of June 1st.
People need not be afraid to plant
apple trees. There will also be a
market, and while prices may occa-
sionally fall below the profit mark,
the average will stay on the right
side of the ledger.
Even last year. the man who rails
ed good apples and graded them we'll
in packing had no reason to com
plain. Dan LeGore, Farm Life's apple
expert, who won the big prize at the
Indiana apple show last Fall, tells
us that he disposed of his entire crop
at an average of S1.25 a bushel-

be handled with the utmost caution

In exceptionally bad cases. it is ad-

Letter

Letter
Washington D. C.-During the
fiscal year ending June 80. 1914,
Uncle Sam expended SLOPE, $685.
$50 in the support of the various
departments of government.
That represents an annual tax
of $40 on every man, woman and
child in the land. The average
American family numbers five
persons, so the average family
contributes at least $50 per year
to the maintenance of Federal
power.
Twenty eight years ago in
1886, with Grover Cleveland in
the white house and q democrat
ic congress in the capitol, the
country worried along on appro-
priations which total ed
331.O15, 4O4, and of this more
than a., ,OCO, 900 represents pay
ments on account cf the nation
al debt.
Thus in twenty-eight years
the annual cost of running I'm
sle Sans big machine has cost
about 500, 900, 900 or more than
200 per cent increase.
Gear Reed and his followers
were probably guilty of extra
vagances, but the real era If
wasteful expenditure in t.is
country was ushered in by tile
Spanish American War. Then
1t was that a wavesof i'm %, ialis-
tic hysteria swept over this
country.
The United States must te-
come world power" we are
told by 22-caliber statesmen ard

Last year we spent sl39, OOO-
900 on our sea fighters and the
I alleged experts tell us we are
not in as good shape as twen-
ty years ago.
If we accept the advise af the
military and naval officers we
will! increase the appropriations
for the army and navy to about
$500, 600, 600 a year, or approxi-
m atty about 5000, 600, 600 more
