CONGREGATIONAL PASTOR
-
LEAVES FOR NEW FIELD

After six years of faithful and en-
ergetic service Rev. A. c. Hacke,
pastor of the First Congregational
church of Dickinson, leaves for a
larger field of activity.
The resignation of Mr.. Hacke came
to his people with such surprise that
they were actually dumfounded. 1t
has been known for some time by a
few that the state of North Dakota
had scheduled Mr.. Hacke for the ef-
fciency man for the state by the di-
rectors, but this was not generally
known outside that body. Finances
however, delayed this appointment,
until the state of Iowa stepped in
and stole the master man.
Mr.. Hacke is and has been recog-
nized as the strongest executive pas
tor in the state, where his quiet but
pungent forcefulness has made his
presence and counsel invaluable to the
conference of the Congregational
churches of the state. The entire
western part of the state has been
under his special care, with the re-
suit that the churches west of the
Missouri river have found in him a
strong friend and advisor.
To his people in Dickinson he was
a man in whom the utmost confidence
was placed. Six years since he came
an unknown man, since that time the
church has made the greatest pro-
gress than during any previous pas
torate. Foundation work; work upon
which any pastor could build, was his
great desire and in his leaving, his
successor will find every department
of the church in splendid shape.
Mr.. Hacke has been very fortunate
in his work for the Sunday school,
which has nearly doubled in member
ship, with the school grades adopted
in every department.
The Boy Scouts was another one
of his splendid industries and in
which the fathers and mothers of the
city have been deeply interested,
while a number of these boys have
taken the several examinations for
First Aid and other things.
Possibly the Brotherhood, the or
ganization for men, has proved the
biggest marvel of success, inasmuch
as the monthly meetings, with men,
bership of one hundred and ten, has
been the rallying ground for all
things religious, moral, civic and
economic life. This organization
carries with it a prestige that NOR
ally and educationally has had a
great deal to do with the building up
of the city.
The city deeply regrets the going
of this family, whose personal life
and good fellowship has woven itself
into all the citizens, irrespective of
race, color or creed.
In the farewell services on Sunday
Mr.. Hacke had two full houses and
at the evening services the pastor and
people of the Methodist church gave
up their own service, to bid good bye
to Mr.. Hacke, Mrs. Hacke and Miss
Margaret Tabor, their aunt, who has
made her home with them for the
last six years.
The Hacke family left on No. A
Tuesday morning, spending their va
cation first, then taking up the work
in Iowa as the State Educational
Secretary.

MANIPULATING MATRIMONY
w e d de d to Yankee Nut
"a Story with Gobs Of sobs)
!. By W. o. Mcclellan.

Yankees. 1t was my pride that hello
me back.
When our little son Amos was a year
old felt that somehow he might bring
John and me together again. took him
enc afternoon to Ebbets Field, but the
little mutt cried all afternoon. Then
I began to suspect the worst My son
had inherited from his father that ter
riblo craving to see the Yanks. My
worse fears were verified when | saw
John carrying our offspring to Sixth
Avenue 81" one afternoon.
Can you imagine my feelings as
wife and a mother? Married to g
nut and the mother of nut. | can
imagine nothing more terrible to a
sensitive woman. | cannot enjoy the
afternoons at Ebbets Field because |
am constantly reminded that my hus-
band is at the same time out at the
Polo Grounds INDUCING that horrible
wee of watching the Yanks and bring
ing up our child with the same in
iquitous inclinations.
| cannot help myself now. But I can
warn other girls of Flatbush against
the same fatal error that | made.
Never marry Yankee fan to reform
him. | thought that / could change
John. but it could not be done. Once
2 Yankee nut always a Yankee nut.
And the life of a Yankee nuts wife is
beyond human endurance. My friends
sheer at me as / pass. | can almost
tear them say: eyes, she has a hus-
band, but he is out at the Polo Grounds
watching the Yanks." I could not stan
this life at all if / were not sure that
the Robins would cop the pennant.

Giants Beaten
in Both Games
of Double Bill
Phillies Pile Up Runs Behind
Good Pitching of Alexan-
der and RiXey.

Philadelphia, Aug. 14.-The Giants
are shooting the chutes. They lost
both games Of a double with
the Phillies this afternoon. There
was some excuse in the first game, for
Grover Alexander was in the box, and
at his best. Incidentally. Moran's
right bower registered his twelfth
shut-out victory of the season.
In the second conflict Eppa j. Rixey
suppressed the Giants with more or
less ease, while Fred Anderson was
hammered hard, and Ferdie Schupp
was nicked for Two runs when his
support cracked. The scores were 8
to and 7 to respectively.
Grover Alexander has turned in
many a stylish game during his reign
owe rthe pitching mound, but seldom
has he surpassed his exhibition Of to-
day. 1t is his ambition to win fifteen
games by the shut-out route this rea-
son, and he passed the dozen mark in
impressive style. Four hits were
made off him, and three Of them were
the rankest sorts of fukes. The other
was clean, but of no great distance.
Never base on balls brought relief
to the New York men, and seven of
them famed.
The ineffectiveness of RUDE Benton
served only to bring the remarkable
pitching of Alexander into sharper re-
lief. The New York left handler was
pounded hard, and to add to his tribu-
lations the defence of the Giants
broke with a bang.
The scores follow:

Newark Defeats
BiSOnS in Close
Diamond Game
Four Runs in Third Inning Puts
Fred Tenney's Team
in Front.

Newark took fall out Of Buffalo in
the opening game of the series at New
ark yesterday afternoon by score of 6
to 5. The game was an even battle
right down to the final round.
Newark virtually won the game with
four runs in the third inning, and was
helped largely by the wildness Of Will
kinson, the Bisons' pitcher. Two
singles and two free passes forced q
man over the pan and filled the sacks.
Cav took up the pitching, gave base
on balls and forced in another. Durgon
peeled off long single to centre and
two more romped home.
Buffalo made a stand in the seventh,
tallying three runs. With three on
bases, Chanell's infield out allowed one
man to tally, and two more were driven
home on Jackson's single to left.
The score follows:

Boots and Bingles

The Mackmen conclude their 1916
visit to New York this afternoon, I'M
less seen here later in a world series.
John Franklin Baker hunted at sew
eral before the game and was dis
tinctly pleased TO hear no creaking in
his ribs. He hopes to be back in by
the last of this week or Monday Of the
next.
The Giants yesterday dropped to
games back of Brooklyn, and any
further debate as to where the new
flag pole should be planted will be
carried over to next spring.
In the eighth inning as Pipp started
to steal Haley attempted to peg on
through to second. The ball might
have arrived if Pitcher Nabors's wide
but thin abdomen hadn't been in the
way. As il was, the ball bounded back
with drumlike thump.
Despite all their woe, sorrow, suffer-
ing. annoyance, anguish, injuries and
two defeats from the Mackmen, the
Yanks to-day are but GA games from
the top.
The Yanks have dropped 16 Of their
last 10 games, and yet they are math-
ematically still we'll up-far enough
up for a brief squirt to carry them
around the crest.
"Do you think the Browns will win
the pennant?" some one asked Cap
Huston. 81 doubt it," said the
Cap. "why," replied his questiOner,
haven't they won % out Of their last
25 games ?" Suppose they have" an
swered the Yank owner. 1--WE won Il
out of "a games back in July, but no
one is picking US to win, are they =?
Nick Cullop gets credit for yester-
days battle, as he was leading, to 3,
when Fisher relieved him. That makes
IL out of IL for the Chilhowie south
paw, despite a shattered chest muscle
and a battered knee cap. Wonder what
percentage Nick would have acquired
without his many wounds?
Jack Majors looked to be a first
class pitcher yesterday. He had all
the stuff any good pitcher is supposed
10 have. Yet he has won but one out
of Is games. If some expert could get
a heart-to-heart interview from Majors
about pitching for the Mackmen 1t
ought to be good for at least six reels.
George Stallings is still absolutely
confident his Braves will win the pen
nant. but as long as his hustling
Robins can maintain a four game mar
gin Your Uncle Robbie will still be
able to sleep an hour or two and inhale
light nourishment day by day. -
The Giants lost four out of II starts
against the four Western clubs and
three out of three against the Phillies.
What's the answer?
Larry Cheney is hasbeen the same
as Eddie Plank, Russia and Fielder
Jones. Pretty tough to see the old
boys slip.
Donovan had only one athlete in
jured yesterday, but it was cool, brac-
ing afternoon with the atmosphere
replete with bracing tonic.

"BOSt0n Does Not
Bother Us Any,"
Says Robinson
Manager of Robins, However,
Has Wholesome Fear of
the Phillies.

Captain Johnny Evers- of the Boston
Braves issued the statement that the
Braves did not fear the Robins. but
looked rather to the Giants to furnish
the strongest opposition in the final
fight for the pennant. The peppery
little Trojan has nothing on the
Brooklyn Robins. They do not fear
the Braves, but are counting on the
Phillies to fight it out with them for
the flag.
Robbe's men are confident of win
ming the game this afternoon and
squaring the series. Wheeler Dell
probably will pitch against Jess
Barnes, or it may be that RUDE Mar
guard will oppose LEFTY Nehf.
Boston does not bother US any"
said Robbie yesterday. "If we can
only hold Moran's bunch of Phillies
off we will play in the worlds series.
We got a couple of tough breaks in
the games Saturday, but the law of
averages worked out. and we were
favored by luck to-day. But luck
aside. | cannot see where the Boston
bunch will come on. Their pitchers
DONE size up with ours at all, and
they have not done so well against the
other teams as we have.
"But the Phillies are the boys. Any
team that has Grover Alexander on
its roster commands respect. He has
won a dozen games by the shut-out
route and is well on his way to thirty
victories. He will pitch at least ten
games more this year. and should win
eight of them. Stallings has no one
like that.
"Man for man we have better ball
club than Boston, and with an even
break in the luck will beat them out
in the race by five or six games"
