THE ATLAS-ALL STAR BALL
GAME
GAM e.
BY Isidore GottIieb.

BY Isidore GottIieb.
Lovers of good amateur baseball who
took the trouble to go out to Nicollet
Park last Sunday had the pleasure of
witnessing one of the most exciting
games ever played in local diamond.
The Atlas Club, winners of the
championship of the Associated Jew
ish League, emerged the victors over
the All Stars, the pick of the remaining
four teams in the league, in a game
that was hard fought from start to
finish
Both pitchers, Hy Fischbein, of the
Atlas Club, and Sam Alberts, of the
West Ends, pitched one of the best
games of their career, Fischbein strik
ing out fourteen men and allowing four
scattered hits, no two being made in
the same inning, while Alberts struck
out four men and allowed six hits.
However, the Atlas team was FORUM
ate in getting what is called the breaks
of the game, as the few errors made
by the All Stars came in critical pc
RODS, practically all of them figuring
in the scoring.
The Atlas Club was the first to score.
In the first inning, Otto Markus got
base on balls with one down, started
to steal second and came all the way
home on an overthrow at second This
lone score looked as good as a million,
for Fischbein was working like a clock
and there was no sign OF score on
the part of the All Stars, although AL
berts frightened in both the fourth and
sixth innings and struck out the third
man with the bases full.
In the seventh the well-oiled Atlas
machine slipped a cog. To start it,
Freedman walked, went all the way
to third on an overthrow and scored on
George Landy's clean twO-base hit.
That tied it up.
In the eighth both teams scored one
run. But the ninth was the inning
that will never be forgotten by anyone
who was fortunate enough to be a spec
tator.
With a man on third for the All Stars,
George Stromberg surprised even his
most ardent admirers when he drove
slashing single to left, putting his
team one run to the good.
But in the last half of the ninth, the
Atlas Club demonstrated their fighting
spirit, which has pulled them through so
many hard game, and, incidentally
winning the championship.
One run behind, Harry Swiller started
with a single, and retired to allow
Army Rosenfeld, a fast man, to run
for him. Ted Marker followed but
the best he could offer was a fly
to the outfeld. Then Rosenield stole
second Art Horwitz walked and Otto
Markers struck out, the catcher miss
ing the third strike. Otto made first
on the play, but Rosenfeld was forced
at third Levy was purposely passed,

necessarily reserved by the board Of
directors. since it is a new departure,
yet we are confident in the opinion
that it will never be necessary to dis
continue it.
The object which the directors ex-
pect and hope to accomplish by this
insurance is to afford employees of the
Union Pacific System the satisfaction
of knowing that, so long as they are
in the service, some financial provis-
ion, although comparatively small in
some cases, has been made for them
and their families against the misfor-
tune of death, injury and illness. 1t is
a measure prompted by good will to-
ward the employees and their families
whose welfare is bourne constantly in
mind, and whose cooperation in es-
tablishing the success of these prop
critics is greatly appreciated.

The OBSERVATORY
LEAGUE TO ENFORCE PEACE

Elizabeth of England and the able
Charles * of Sweden; and this is in
teresting in view of the fact that the
recent efforts for worldwide arbitra-
ton had no warmer advocate than the
late King Oscar, father of the present
king of Sweden.
Charles V. mentioned above, became
king of Spain when sixteen years of
age, and was elected German Emperor
three years afterwards; his youth and
good looks won him many friends, and
he ruled about half of Europe, and
presided at the Diet of Worms which
tried Martin Luther for heresy; he
had given Luther "safe-conduct,'
pass to come and return safely from
that German Diet, which he did; but
it is the common report in history that
Charles in his later days, after he had
been fiercely prosecuting heretics, de-
plored the fact that he let Luther go
safely; the Monks told him he should
have broken his word. as he was un-
der no obligation to keep a promise
with hereto. 1t was this ruler that
Henry, Elizabeth and Charles of
Sweden desired to curb in some way;
for he not only held sway over half of
Europe but also over much more than
half of the two Americas, and had
vision of world-rulership. And it has
not escaped observation that during
the last twenty-five years during the
discussions and labors of the world
arbitration the chief obstacle to a uni
versal agreement has been another
German Emperor with, apparently. a
thirst for world domination; like the
Emperor of the other German Empire
he came to the crown in his youth and
with many favoring circumstances has
chosen the path of force and subjec-
ton instead of world peace-the
greatest good of the greatest number.

Great Show Place of the World.

(From the New York Mail.)
Fifth avenue is the show place of
the world today. The parade of
wealth, of beauty, of luxury, surpasses
anything in history. From early in
the day until after nightfall the won
derful thoroughfare is an endless pro-
cession of motor cars, richer, more
costly, more magnificent than the
chariots of Some of the kings in olden
days. The sidewalks are crowded
with the most eNquisitely dressed
women. Furs that represent small
fortunes are plentiful Hats, shoes,
gowns of price that would have

are common. The expensive shops
are filled with eager buyers The
great hotels and dainty tearooms, the
magnificent restaurants, the jewelry
houses have a patronage that taxes
their capacity.
The department stores report a
trade 81 per cent greater than the
best heretofore recorded More than
lOO,OOO persons are said to have visited
one establishment in one day
mobbed it with money, so to speak.
The Christmas trade OF the metropolis
is estimated conservatively at $780,
100000. One merchant of prominence
is credited with the statement that if
the public knew the number of ger
sons spending from $1,000 10 $4,000 on
Christmas gifts they would be
shocked. Perhaps.
One Of the largest storekeepers of
the city-the owner of an establish
ment that appeals to the general pub

as a $4,000 spinet, $4,000 crystal ball,
a 5000 Persian rug, a $1,000 set of

three tapestries for $500, $4,000 and

for $1,000, and so on.

Don Juan in Action.

Ismail, on the Danube, is best
known to US through Don Juan,
wherein Byron depicts the terrible
storming OF the place by Suwarrof in
1890. 1t cost the Russians 10000 mel
and the Turks 10000, and even the
Russian commander retired to his tent
and wept when the victory was won
ByrOn's cantos are very close versi-
fication of French work by the Mar

of the incidents concerning Don Juan
himself are taken from actual happen

BOOM IN AMERICAN BIBLES.

American publishers of Bibles re-
port an increase of about so per cent
in business over the best previous
year. This does not mean that war
has multiplied readers Of the imperish-
able book. For generations the Bible
has been an assured and secure best

COPIES a day in the average. In the
course of the nineteenth century SOO'-
900 900 copies, complete and partial,
were sold. Among mere novels a total
sale OF $4,000 copies is considered very
good. II took ben Hur" twenty odd
years to get beyond the million marx
and Uncle Toms Cabin" appears only
to have doubles, in its long career, the
mark made by General Wallace's book.
In spite of the war, with its disasters,
establishment and shiftings of whole
populations. the Bible retains first
place on the selling lists. The boom
news means only that for the present
publishers in other lands being handi'
capped by war conditions, American
printers and binders reap the com
mercial advantage of furnishing large

The First Skater.

The first man or nation to skate Is
lost in the mists of antiquity. The
Eskimos of the farthest north were
found to be in possession of runners
carved from whalebone when they
were first discovered. Skating is men,
toned by a Danish historian about
1854, and Fitzstephen, in his History
Of London" says that in the twelfth
century young men fastened the leg
bones of animals under their feet by
means of thongs, in order to slide
along the ice. A pair of these bone
skates is now in The British museum.
LondCners got the idea from Holland,
probably via Lincolnshire, where
skass have been used on the frozen
fens from the very earliest times.

Attractive Niuht Lamps,

So-called Damascus shrine lamps
come from the far East and are now
being used in America for night lights,
or in rooms where only candle light
is used. The base of the shrine is a
fluted shallow brass pan four inches in
diameter, which holds a candle. 1t
hangs at the bottom Of wreath of
peterborough leaves. The wreath
is the size of tea plate, and at the
top it holds a dome over the candle
fame. In the top of the dome there
is heavy hook to swing the light by.
These lamps are particularly decora-
tive, lending themselves to their back
ground tremendously, especially in
rooms with black paint and yellow
wall coverings.

A report has been published by the
bureau of labor statistics on the indus
trial conditions in factories making
lead storage batteries, particularly
with relation to the danger of lead
poisoning In the construction OF lead
grids the workman is exposed to the
lead dust and lead fumes. In some
plants provisions of hoods and ex-
hausts over the kettles serve to mini
mize the danger. Another danger lies
in the making of lead oxide when this
work is done by hand, but in some fac
tories this work is done by machinery
which is inclosed so that there is
practically no danger to the operators.
Altogether conditions in this country
were regarded as decidedly bad COM
pared to conditions in the same in
