Cheney Pitches Winning Ball in Getaway COnteSt- Chase a Hero

Brooklyn, Sept. 19.-Hal Chase caused 12,OOO fans to leave Ebbets field yesterday with grief stricken faces when he crossed the plate in the tenth inning of the second game of the double header, spelling a tie just when darkness was enveloping the field. This gave Cincinnati a victory by to l. to offset the first encounter which resulted in favor of the league leaders by 4 to 1.
 In the curtain-raiser Cheney had no trouble in keeping the visitors in check, his opponent in the box being Schneider, who was touched up for ten hits to the seven accumulated by the Reds. The struggle, though pro- ductive of some brilliant fielding reats in spots, was tame in comparison with the bittery-fOught contest that closed the afternoons sport.
 Marquard was chosen to defend the home citadel against the onslaught of the former Federal leaguer, Knetzer in the second, and until Prince Hal made up his mind to break up the party in the tenth the battle was waged with little advantage to either. It was punctuated with scintillating fielding that helped to head off the desperate attempt to score after the opposing mines had once hit their stride.

Giants Still Winning.

New York, Sept. 19.-The emotion al winning streak of the Giants has not been halted, by any means. No, Stree! Romping ahead as if the fu- ture welfare of the universe were at stake, McGraw's latest edition of ball players hung up their twelfth straight victory in the first game of dOuble- header with Pittsburgh yesterday ill a shutout spasm, by a score of 2 to ..
 In the second installment of the aft- ernoon the count was sewed up at l to when the rain came down in bucketsful in the ninth and shut down on a game which gave promise ot end ing in a barrel of fun and another bar rel of excitement
 The Pirates and the Giants will re- sume activities on the Harlem front today with yet another double-header If the Giants can bridge over that Johan thirteenth game they have z fine chance of equaling the seven teenth straight they won on their first Western trip.
 Manager Jimmy Callahan of the Pi- rates hasn't piloted his club in the present series, but is sick at his hotel The very thought of his men going against the fast-traveling Giants may have been the cause of his ind1sposi- tiCn

The Off Again Champs.

For what F. P. A. has termed the Finnegin Club, the Out Agin, In Agin. The On Again, Gone Agin Champs, the Giants, are entitled to full mem bership for life.
 They started the season, judging by results, as the worst club in the league; then they were the best; then they were the worst again-and then down the last stretch of the race what more natural than they should once more be the best?
 As a result of this lop-sided en- deavor the National League is in the freak position of having the strongest machine in the circuit dangling in fourth place.
 AS the situation now stands, with the addition of one or two good young pitchers the Giants should romp home next year. But why attempt to

a group of men over in a corner

A HINT THEREIN

A hint upon the Importance of
preparedness lies in the reports of
the Villa invasion and massacre in
Columbus. He knitted the sentinels
and stormed the town. The ma
chine guns did not work. 1t mat
tiers not why, the fact that they
didn't was vital. Columbus was
garrisoned. 1t had expected the
attack for days-witness the words
of the wife of Lieutenant Castle
man, who tells the story of an eye
witness, Yet the Mexicans execut-
ed a complete surprise.
The advocates of preparedness
will find in the Columbus incident
good deal of material for argu.
mens. Mexicans, be it borne in
mind, are not well armed, and not
at all trained, a mere band of ruff
fans. Yet they did make a pretty
big showing when they raided the
garrisoned town on the border.

DIES IN COLORADO

Relatives here have received
news of the death Of Mrs. Charles
Tapp, which occurred at Colorado
Springs, Colo, a few days ago. Mrs.
Tapp had been sufferer for sew
eral years and went to Colorado in
the hope that the climate would
benefit her. The body was taken to
her home at Cameron, Mo-, for bur-
ial. She was a Miss Dooley before
her marriage and resided in this
county many years ago. Besides
Mrs. Mockabee Montjoy, of this
city, who is daughter, she is sur
vived by FIVE other children all of
whom reside in Missouri.

A FELLOW AND HIS LODGE

Some people are lodge crazy and
join everything in sight. They are
called "joiners." Others are pessi-
mistic and can see no good in
any lodge.
But there is much good to be
derived from membership IN any Of
the legitimate lodges that flourish
everywhere, provided the lodge hab-
it is not carried to excess.
1t creates spirit of comrade-
ship among the members that is
seldom found elsewhere. If a
member is in distress or difficulty,
his lodge promptly comes to his
relief and tides him over the rough
places and into smoother waters.
If he is sick, they cheer him with
their presence, and watch ut his
bedside, and see that his family
does not suffer during his incapac-
ity. And in many other ways they
are a distinct benefit one to another.
The lodge is the symbol of the
brotherhood of man, and its tenets
are founded upon the Bible and adj
vocate the elevation of the human
race.
The fellow who Identifies himself
with some good lodge and lives up
to its teachings will be better
man and citizen for the few hours
he devotes to its meetings.

PAY Y0UR BILLS

If every man would pay his bills
just when those bills are due, wee
sidestep many grievous ills which
now make people blue. The mer-
chant carries on his books about
a million debts, and some who
figure there are crooks, and some
misfortune's pets. Some hope to
play the honest game when they
have got the tin, and it may be
they'll do that, soon as their ships
come in, but some ships travel
mighty slow, of winds and waves
the sport; some hit the reef of
Norman's Woe, and never come to
port. The merchants have to charge
us more for everything they sell,
to cover the defaulter's score, and
hence H. C. of L. Whenever you
buy pound of pills, or quart of
pumpkin rind, you're paying some
thing on the bills of those who are
behind. If you, who read these
simple rules, would pay your bills
ON time, you'd help to cut the price
of prunes, and make your life sub
lime, so says Walt Mason.

Some preparations of face powder
are the cause Of Inflammation OF the
eyes.
This form OF Inflammation occurs
from obvious reasons-almost exclu-
siyely in women. They complain that
the vision Is blurred, that they cannot
read or sew for any length OF time
or that the lids burn and itch and
that rubbing the lids only Aggregates
the itching.

ed any rice" at all.
Women who use face powder should
be careful to select only those prepare.
tions which are known to be pure.
In applying powder to the face, It Is
much safer to use cloth and rub
the powder on the skin, rather than to
apply 1t with a puff, as by the latter
method the powder Is driven upward
and lodges on the moist eyebali. The
tears change It into a gummy sub.
stance, which lodges behind the eye.

Since toilet articles do not come
