BUNCH WINS GAME.
Interesting Five Inning Game l.
Played Mt Jungle Park During
the Afternoon of Thursday.
Double Play Fell Short.

The sting of defeat on Wednesday
afternoon was too much for "OId
Folks" Jennings, so he took active
management of the Invincibles and
went into practice game Thursday
afternoon with an avowed purpose
of getting revenge. Billie Sullivan
directed the play of the Irresistibles
and it was battle royal with the
Invincibles getting the better of the
argument to the tune of z to 4. Jen-
nings was pretty well pleased with
the showing Pagan made the day
previous in the two innings he
pitched and he sent the Brownwood
lad back for a five innings work
out Thursday. Pitted against Pagan
was Smithson, likely southpaw,
whom Billy Sullivan is carefully
nursing in hope of getting a run
ming mate for Coveleskie. The
youngsters We're hit often, but show
ed pretty good form nevertheless.
In the second inning the Invinci-
bles got to Smithson fo~ a covey of
hits that netted seven runs. Pagan
brought in two of these runs with
a two Dagger which went to the right
field fence. In this inning eleven
men faced Smithson and they ham,
mered his offerings numerically.
He was wild and walked three men.
Kavanaugh proved himself a pinch
hitter of the right kind when he
bumped the center field fence and
brought three men romping home
with a three Dagger. 1t was time
ly hit.
In this inning the Irresistibles got
to Pagan for five hits that netted
three runs, but it was due to slow

credit and the Irresistibles only 4.
at double play was made in
this inning when Sullivan was safe
on error and Stanage hit slow one
to Pagan. The recruit whipped the
ball to Burns at second and caught
Sullivan, but Stanage was called
safe. though ii was admitted that the
Invincibles had grounds for protest.
Pagan is a likely recruit to the
Tigers squad. He is a right mana

she would have no time left to devote
to clothing herself beautifully. But
whatever the direction in which she
is going-it is not away from lovely
apparel. Specialists design styles for
her, she chooses with discrimination,

Guardsmen to Be Retained in
U S. Service.
ESTIMATES GO TO HOUSE
$4,000 Guardsmen To Be Retained On
Mexican Border Pending Fur
Their Developments in In
ternational Situation.

Washington-A deficiency appropria-
ton of $28,4OO,OOO for the Army on ac-
count of Mexican border service was
submitted to the House by Secretary
Baker
I In addition, Secretary Baker sub
mitted supplemental estimate OF
81, 100000 to clothe and garrison 1867
900 men of the National Guard for a
year beginning July 1. 1t was con-
sidered significant in connection with
the plans for retaining the guardsnen
in the federal service.
Testifying before the House Military
committee recently Quartermaster Cen
eral Sharpe said that if the National
Guard were retained on the border at
a strength of $4,000 men until June 80,
1917. the deficit would reach Il total
of $50,000,000 1t was more than $25,-
OO0, 900 on October l. and has increased
in excess of $3,000,000 since that time
according to the figures presented to-
day.
1t is understood the strength of the
guard retained on the border pending
further development in the internal
tional situation will be approximately
$4,000 men, making total force OF
about $4,000, including regulars, COM
pared with 100000 there few months
ago
The supplemental estimate of SILL
100000 to maintain the Guard during
the fiscal year 1918 is understood to
include provision for the replacement
of clothing and other property which
the state soldiers brought with them
into the federal service The book
koaoing problem presented by demo
bilization of considerable number OF
guardsmen has been a serious one. 1t
is army custom that discharged sol
diers take their clothing with them,
and presumably the demobiliZed regi-
uents will have to be re-outftted.

Someone who knows says that the
restless American never stays in one
spot longer than two hours. Now how

away at any moment, in one direction

with hats suited to all chimes? Day
after tomorrow she may find herselRin

be watching winter sports in Canada.
Those clever milliners who do so
much thinking for the lady of fashion
have seized upon the sports hat to
help solve the problem. Three superb
answers to the question of where
withal shall we clOthe our heads are
shown in the picture above. They are
made of materials that are worn every

where you will in any of them.

ran down the steps to meet them.

when she had Winifred safely upstairs

"Now listen to me and the whole

bleak little platform at Byers' Cor
mers and looked through the snowfall
for anything that seemed to be con-
veyance.
She had left Boston at 5 :45-plenty
of time to reach Windyheath in good
time, Anne had written her.
"It's just nice little run over from
Providence on the Providence and Will

Corners. The trains only stop there on
signal or to let off visitors, and the
only visitors that ever come are ours.

Evidently Rolf, Anne and the sub
Stitute had been overcome by. the
storm. Trains had been delayed from
Boston to. Providence and on the little
local line they had waited again aud
again along the way. There had been
mo real need of any signal to let her
off when Byers' Corners came in view.
The drifts were so high that it took
the train 20 minutes to get out of
Byers' Corners, let alone getting in.

For some time the German and Brit

far has not been made known.
