anime it, but locked at the arm, the

switch had been closed, He is man

always been considered by the rail-

his duty according to the Fai1Fsad Of
fieia1s to see that the switch was
properly set, by personal exaHaina-
ton. The placing Of teFPedses on
the traek did not conclude his duty,
after the freight had pulled into the
siding, 1t is said that this was his
third trip on the Naugatuek division.
He cannot account for the open
switch and steut1y maintains that
even after he had reached the ca
boose he looked back once and was
sure the green light Of safety showed
clearly.
Although badly frightened and I'M
strung by the accident he told his
tory last night in a straightforward
truthful manner to the authorities.
The conductor of the freight train,
T.. E. Johnson, states that after Ieav-
ing the main line, he called out the
members OF the crew and walked to
the station to report the train was
safely in. The head brakeman,
Thompson, did not GO back to the
switch with Hershenroder, and was
standing near the caboase when the
approach of the express caused him
to flee for his Life. He states that he
turned the switch which ran the
freight from the main line to the sid

who was supposed to close it, had
done so.

MURRAY BEATS CHURCH.

Forest Hills, N. Y, Sept. AR. Lindley Murray, graduate of Staff ford University and now a resident of New York city, furnished the first form upset of the thirty-sixth annual national singles tennis tournament here Saturday afternoon by defeating George M. Church of Tenafy, N. J., in one of the most gruelling court battles witnessed in many years. Church, who previously had eliminated Ichiya Kumagae Japanese champion, and Maurice E. Mclaughlin, famous Davis Cup player was the ruling favorite to win the title. Nothing daunted by this fact, or the loss of the first two sets, Murray proved that he had the fighting spirit and endurance to over come both the skill and long lead of Church, and emerged victor by scores of 3-6, 4-6, 6-2, 6-4, GA.

Mr. Lynch is some sWatsman getting two healthy sWats and making a bid for another only to be robbed by a circus catch by the Meriden left field CT. While standing at the plate in the seventh Lynch was accidentally struck struck under the eye by ball thrown a spectator, and for the moment he appeared dazed At this juncture he gave an example of the excellent edu cational training he received, by enumerating the stars he saw. You are the goods, Mr. Lynch.
 Poor work on bases caused the To- calls to lose two more runs. Clancy af- ter electrifying the fans in the seventh bv offering second and third foolish lv tried to steal home while Corkins held the pellet. GOeb in the eighth inning tried a similar stunt and met with the same fate. During the past season the National league magnates rendered a testimonial to Bob" Ems lie who observed his twenty fifth year as an arbiter, but to Mike Haughe who worked yesteraday in the local game es no similar tribute vii ever be extend ed. Both teambs suffered from Haugh's poor vision, a tone puncture Manager Dobson raised tremendous howl against one of his decisions. The score:

Gone and Going.

OOilo aIu OOlnS.
 Gone, all gone,' as MT. Lamb re- marked, "are the old familiar faces" Eke the old familiar machines.
 Fate, destiny or the dope has set the life of an average championship ball club at five years
 The Cubs and Mackmen were the cnly two machines able to survive five summers, for, while each was Eeaten in this span, each came back the next year over the triumphant highway.
 But no other machines have lasted longer in victory than three seasons
 Three years were sufficient for the old Pirates, for the Tigers and for the Giants. Connie Mack merely beat time to it.
 John McGraw tried to piece out his championship club and rebuild gradu- ally, but he found the job beyond him. The only way seems to be a new start. Today, of those who led the Giants home in front through 1913, only Fletcher, Herzog, Burns and Tesreau are left. The Giants, minus Matty Doyle, Merk1e, Meyers, Mar Cuard, hardly seem to be the Giants.
 But Giant rooters felt the same way when Donlin, McGinnity, Bower man, Devlin Mertes and Bresnahan left In rebuilding his new winner, McGraw retained only Mathewson, ,Ames and Wiltse. The others were cast adrift. Only three or four can survive when the dismantling process starts.
 Those who have gone may yet play great ball in new surroundings. But their big day in New York was about

BOSTON FANS ARE COCKY.

Boston, Sept 4-1n view of the many applications for world series tickets that are coming to the office of the Boston National league base ball club, Walter E. Hapgood, busi- ness manager of the Braves, an nounced last night plans for the dis. tribution of grand stand seats in the event the Braves win the National league pennant. Beginning today, ap plicants presenting cash for tickets will be given a receipt which may be exchanged for tickets a few days be- fore the first game. Only two tickets will be allowed to a person.

ERRORLESS IN 7S GAMES,

New Orleans, Sept. 4.-Eddie Ed mondson, right fielder of the New Or leans club of the Southern association, yesterday went through his seventy eighth successive game without a field ing error, equaling, so far as games are concerned, the record of Sherwood Magee of the Boston Braves. Ed mondson has handled faultlessly 154 chances, against TO for Magee.

St. Louis, Sept. 4.-Roy Corhan, brought to the National league from the Pacific Coast league to play short stop for the St. Louis Cardinals, de- parted for San Francisco yesterday. Corhan has had a sore arm during almost the entire season and this is said to be Manager Huggins' reason for not retaining him.

The Day Beyond.

The play of Kumagae, the eminent Jap, at Forest Hills, tips off the 6ay beyond when a golf and a tennis championship will be recruited as the Foreign Legion is today-a medley or a motley of races-American, English, French, Jap, Cuban.
 That day isn't coming until some championship ten years from now will be complex affair and a big advance epoch.

Former Giants Captain Hits Time: ly and Aids in Double Victory

Chicago, Sept. 4.-Chicago won both games of a doubleheade from St Louis yesterday, to ? and to 1. Larry Doyle, who made his local debut as a Cub, doubled in the third inning of the first game, after Wort man and Flack had singled, and Chicago scored two runs. Ames' wild ness, Beck's error, and a timely single by Wortman netted two more in the fourth.
 In the second game Doyle again gave the locals the lead as a result of his timely hitting and daring base running. Steele pitched in fine form in the second game, striking out ten men, but the locals hit opportunely ard took advantage of the loose field ing behind Steele The scores:

There is one detail in our favor" says Hughey Jennings, "that most of you have overlooked. At the start of the season Washington and Cleveland fought out the lead. When they be- gan to slip the Yankees rushed to the front When the Tanks were broken Up the White Sox and Red SoX car ried every ones attention, and when the White SoX started slipping the Browns pumped themselves into favor. All this time the Tigers have been plodding along, overlooked. No one up to September picked us with a chance to win. We had none of that carly worry and the strain they talk about We were merely holding our own and keeping in close sight of the leaders, No one can tell, of course, who is going to win race where three or four clubs have a fine chance and where the break of the game may decide the finish. But l wouldn't care to trade chances with any of the others just noW.'

there is almost no limit to the possi-
bilities Of the bead idea. II may be
made to do wonderful things and it
requires only ingenuity on the part
OF the individual to produce cxcep-
tional results. Borders of skirts are
made of beads scwed onto fine net,
scaris with bead borders arc thrown
over bare shoulders and beads indeed
make the trimming feature of the
season. A very beautiful bodice of
champagne colored crepe is enhanced
by embroidery combining beads with
silk threads. The design is a simple
one consisting of circles connected
by some undulating lines. 1t is the
treatment OF the beads with the en-
broidery that produces the effect.
Within the center Of each circle is a
Greek cross formed by four large
wooden beads, Just a shade darker
than the crepe. The first circle con-
sists Of a row OF these same beads about
as large as a small pea. There are
three rows Of blue beads beyond that
and second row of the champagne col
ored wooden beads, then a circle about
one-half inch in width which consists
of an over and over stitch in heavy
silk thread and, as finish for that, a
row of the wooden beads larger than
any seen within. It is all very simple.
II will be easy for any woman who
can hold a needle to accomplish but
the idea behind the treatment and
the skill with which the colors wera
planed are rare.
Georgette crepe is one Of the best
IfFnH rtaafer-tals To- ntrr,,.,,,,- ,-..-s....,--
1t is used for entire gowns and it is
used in combination with almost every
fabric. It is really beautiful with taf-
ieta or with faille or with gros de
Londres and it is equally attractive
combined with linen and pique 1t is
an all round useful material and dress
makers are quick to recognize the fact.
Ono OF the gowns shown here is made
entirely of the material in white with
the skirt finish and the trimming of
white taifeta and it would be hard to
find anything daintier for summer
wears AT the edge of the skirt is a
binding of wide ribbon approximately
three inches in width and bindings Of
ribbon in such width are to be found
upon many of the newest and hand
soonest costumes.
Ribbon may be said to share the
honors with beads, so largely and Law
ishly is it being used as trimming. 1t
makes bands for thin material, it is
worked into girdles. Ribbon neckties
accompany many of the handsomest
costumes, ribbon is largely employed
as trimming for hats and ribbon sashes
are worn with all summer gowns.
Designers are looking to many
periods but the era of Louis XIV ap-
pears to have taken a special hold
upon their imaginations, hence we
have a great many pompadour silks
and a great many draped effects.
There is a pretty example of school
girls afternoon dancing frock shown
in one Of the illustrations. Pompadour
tafeta is combined with crepe to give
very charming contrast and charm
ing effect. 1t will be noted that the
sleeves arc kimono in style The shape
is so pretty, so graceful and 50 be-
coming that it never dies. 1t is ex-
tensively used this summer for fancy
