Hitting Game.

NEW YORK, Oct. THE Dod-
gers are the 1915 champions OF the
National League. They clinched the
pennant Tuesday afternoon when
they defeated the Giants to s, WIZ
the Braves beat the Phillies In both
games OF a double header.
The Dodgers now lead the league
by two and one-half games. Both
the Phillies and the Dodgers have
two games to play. II the Phillies
should win both while the Dodgers
lose both, the Brooklynites would
finish one-half game ahead Of the
Phillies.
The Dodgers won out in the Cruel
ling race because the Phillies cracked
Tuesday afternoon under the terrific
strain they have endured almost
since the season began.
The Brooklyn-New York game was
a heavy-hitting affair in which three
pitchers were knocked out of the
box. After giving the Giants three
run lead, Sherrod Smith, the south
pay, was relieved by big Ed. Pfeffer
In the fourth inning and the latter
was effective. Brooklyn pounded
Bento nand Perritt for Ave hits and
four runs in the third and later hit
George Smith, who relieved Perritt,
In punches.
Smiths two errors In the first in
ming played a-large part in aiding
New York to pile up lead. Burns
led of with a hit to Smith, beat 1t
out and going to second when the
pitcher threw wild to first. Smith
then fumbled Herzog's sacrifice,
Burns going to third and Herzog
reaching first safely. Robertson sin
gled, scoring Burns, and Herzog went
to third on Wheat's poor throw to the
plate. He was run off base by Rob-
srtson when Zimmerman went out on
an infield tap and put out. Fletcher
drove out a homer, scoring Robertson
ahead of him.
Mowrey's double and Olson's sin
glo gave Brooklyn a run in the sec

third, taking the lead. Johnston

hit to fletcher and Deubert was safe
on Zimmerman's tumble. Myers

Russian ViOliniSt
Makes Big Hit

The Skibinsky-Welch Company,
composed of Prof. Alexander Skibin-
sky, the great Russian violinist, Miss
Welch, contralto, and Miss Baker,
pianist and accompanist, delighted a
good afternoon audience at Chautau-
qua Tuesday. Their program only
lasted half an hour, but that was
long enough time to convince even
the most critical person that they
could render the best of music. Prof.
Skibinsky, as everyone probably
knows, lost finger from his left
hand some time ago and everyone
thought that a great genius had been
lost to the world. However, he went
to work and after a number of fail
ures has made himself a finger with
which he can play as we'll as he could
before-at any rate he can play as
we'll with it as it would seem posi-
BILE for him to with a good finger.
Miss Welch has a remarkable con-
tralto voice and Miss Baker besides
being a good accompanist is a fine
soloist as we'll.
In the evening of the same day
they again favored large crowd with
a few selections. This time they
were even better than in the after
noon. Their efforts to please the
audience were we'll rewarded for
they encored again and again. Prof.
Skibinsky said that he would be de-
lighted to play more but was obliged
to keep to his 45-minute limit-then
added, Isn't that the limit?"

Militia Leaves Sat.
For Fort Stevens

Next Saturday afternoon on train
16 what promises to be the largest
militia company Ashland has ever
sent to an encampment will depart
for Fort Stevens, where they will put
in ten days in actual practice with
the big guns which the months of
training at the local armory with min
iature equipment is teaching them
to handle. The company will send
over seventy men, about eighty now
being enrolled in the First company.
Captain c. A. Malone, who left
Ashland some time ago to accept a
position as purchasing agent for the
California-Oregon Power Company
and makes his home in Oakland, has
secured vacation leave and will be
up to take command of the company
during the encampment. A big crowd
will be at the depot to give the local
soldier boys sendoff. Rumors to
the effect that the local company may
be left in charge of the Fort Stevens
batteries and the regulars sent for
Mexican service have caused most of
the men to make arrangements for
care of their affairs in case such
should be the case.

Opera Company
Passes Requirements

The International Opera Company
did not, as far as know, disappoint
anyone. On the contrary, the one
whom they did not please was by far
the hardest person in these parts to
please The company consists of a
mixed quartet and a pianist. Every
member of the company is an artist
and, Furthermore, a human being.
They did not put on airs-they
laughed with the audience. In fact,
one of the most striking features of
their performance was their laugh.
They could laugh more realistically
and more in tune than any aggrega-
tion Of people with which you will
meet in long period of time. How
ever, laughter was not the only re-
deeming feature of their program.
They sang concert music and sang it
we'll. At the last half of the pro-
gram they presented the opera, "The
Sleeping Queen" by Balfe. The
opera was cut down so that only four
characters we're needed and It could
be given in one act. This, of course,
was not as good as 1t would have been
with full cast and with all its
scenes, but 1t was well given and
could not have been better. The cast
acted and sang 1t as If they liked it
and enjoyed it as much as the audi
ence.
