DRAlN-PlPE Helps
CAPAHAS TO VICTORY
Sewer Swallows Ball Twice and
Scores Two H0me-Run
Score 6 to 3.

A convenient line of exposed sewer
pipe, together with goodly portion
of luck and d pitcher who could keep
PortageVille from hitting the bail,
Sunday accounted for the Capahas'
6 to victory over their opponents.
The sewer pipe, which is being COW
cred up along the edge of the outer
baseball field, aided two of the Cape
boys in making home-runs when the
Portageville fielders were unable 10
retrieve the pill from the sewer and
no ground rule had been made in re-
gard to the sewers.
This participation Of the 30-inch
sewer in the game against them dis
outraged the Pcrtageviiie nine, ana
the Capahas cleaned up in the last two
innings they batted.
As an exhibition of good baseball
the game was not considered up tC
standard, although Vangilder, the To-
cal tWirler, did good work and he was
coached into good pitching by his
catcher, Snyder.
A change in the schedule for next
Sunday has been made, and Cairo will
come to the Cape instead of the Capa-
has making a trip to the Egyptian
city. The game between the Cape and
Cairo should be an exceptional one,
fos the reason that it will be between
4 pair Of winners.
Cairo trimmed Sikeston on Sunday
by a score Of I to >. The other open
ing game Of the league was at Chat
fee ard resulted in victory for that
team Of Illmo by 2 to 0 score.
AIarge crowd witnessed the open
ing game here. Mayor Rage hurled
the initial ball, which went behind the
batter instead Of over the plate. The
batsman, however, took a back-handeG
swing at it and had strike called on
himself. The Mayor then retired in
favor Of Tie pitcher who was going to
get paid for doing the tWirling.

500 FEET OF HOSE
ORDERED BY FIRE
Business Men Rebuke Bond OPP
pOnents and Finance New
Purchase.

Following fire-hose mass meeting
at the Commercial Club yesterday
morning when plans were made for
financing the purchase Of LOCO feet Of
new hose equipment for the city fire
department, an order for the first 500
feet was placed last night by wire,
and the second installment will be
ordered this morning.
Approximately two-thirds of the
funds necessary for the purchase of
the hose was subscribed by thirty men
yesterday and the remainder will be
obtained today.
The hose that is being purchased
will be shipped from the factory in
New Jersey and it will be some time
before it may be received in the Cape.
The hose was purchased by the bust
ness mems subscription, with a view
of offering it to the city. The City
Council will be asked 10 reimburse the
men who pay for the hose on the
passage Of the $4,000 fire department
bond issue.
The mass meeting yesterday grew
cut OF an alarm resulting from the
fire Tuesday night when :, section of
hose broke, making the third section
that had broken in three consecutive
fires.
The business men who attended the
mass meeting lined up virtually solid
~ behind Mayor Rage in his campaign
for the fire department bond issue,
and their action in offering to finance
wor! that will be accomplished by the
city on the passage of the bonds, last
night was interpreted as a slap in the
face for those who opposed the bond
issue at the last election, as we'll as
a delivery Of earnest money for their
support at the next special election.
/ After discussion that lasted for
nearly two hours, the men formed a
pan lOl ltlIdlCIilS Tie IIOSc pJti SllClSt
whereby ten men were to sign a syndi-
cate note for $3.50 to cover the cost Of
the hose. Independent of that, peti-
tons were circulated by Z. ?. Ellis,
f. f. l.. Lamkir and II. A. Nussbaum
seeking to get the subscriptions OF
business men to the fund for the hose.
Seven men had signed the syndicate
note last night. as follows: G. L. Mey-
er, Will Hirsch. NJ +. Leming. f. p.
Ellis, r. +. l.. Lamkin, S. NJ Carter
and H. A. Nussbaum. Most Of the
merchants who were asked to con-
tribute gave S25 each.
Mayor Rage, who attended the
meeting, was one of the first to
donate. He told the conferees that
the city still has 500 feet or more of
hose of sQuirtabe quality, which he
believes will serve the city until the
bond election. He hoped then, he de
clared, 10 be able to guide the city in
purchasing an ample supply of hose
as well as all other fre-fghting equip
ment.

DALE BLACK FALLS,
BREAKS HIS WRIST
Lad Was Roller Skating When
Lost His Balance and
Took Tumble.

When he lost his balance and fell
while roller skating about 4 o'clock
yesterday afternoon, Dale Black, the
7-year-old son OF Mr. and Mrs. Charles
VI. Black, of All South Frederick
street. sustained d fractured left wrist.
The boy was playing on roller skates
with Carl Wasem in front of the Wa
sem home al Morgan Oak and South
Frederick streets. When he fell on
the sidewalk his left hand, which he
had put out to break the force OF the
fall, became twisted under his body
and the weight of his body caused the
fracture.
The Wasem boy picked young Black
up and on making hurried examina-
ton. realized that the bone in the
wrist had been broken. He helped
his injured companion to his home,
but found that Mrs. Black had left for
downtown only j short time before.
He learned from neighbors where the
mother could be located and FASTENED
to notify her of her sons injury.
In little more than half ar hour he
succeeded in finding Mrs. Black and
they summoned doctor, who reached
the boys side forty minutes after the
accident occurred. The bone was sci
at once and the physician declared that
the break will mend readily.
