Salisbury 5; Cambridge |.

Cambridge met their second de-
feat OF the day yesterday at the
hands of Salisbury, by the score OF
five to 3ne. Smoky Joe' Klingel,
hotter Was on the mound for Cam
bridge, and twirled a nice game, but
the breaks were against him and he
lost the game. Gallagher twirled for
Salisbury, and although Cambridge
made ass many hits off him as were
made by Salisbury, they failed to
score until the ninth inning, when
Wilson and Bourland doubled in sue
cession.a
Bourland led the Cambridge team
in batting, with two doubles in four
times up. Erricson made two infield
hits, Wilson made a long two bagaer
over left field fence. Spedden, Mil
Ter and Pearson each made single.
This was all the hits made off Gala
CHER.
Smell hit two doubles over left field
fence and Nagle hit home run over
center field fence. Rath had three
singles from four times up. Busby
and Price each made a single
Wilson, Erricson and Spedden
fielded nicely for Cambridge. Wilson
made splendid catch of Busby's line
drive over first. Erricson made a
nice catch of Homar's liner to left
center. sSpedden made a nice throw
of Homar's slow gronnder down third
base line. Klingelhoffer also fielded
well, and backed Wilson up on sew
eral long throws.
Pierce and Busby were the fielding
stars for Salisbury. Pierce made a
fine one hand catch of Spedden's lin
er over second. Busby was the real
star, robbing Cambridge of several
hits. He robbed Spedden of sin
gle by making pretty catch of his
liner over second. He robbed Miller
of a three base hit when he caught
his liner after run, and doubled Err
ricson, who had gone from first to
third
Salisbury scored two runs in the
third, one in the fifth and two in the
seventh The two in the third were
scored when White was hit on the
hand and Nagle hit homer over the
fence. The one in the fifth came
when Nagle walked, stole second and
scored pn Snell's double over left
field sea The two in the seventh

One bf Connie Mack's scouts was
at Salisbury watching the game, and
taking notes on Klingelhoffer's work
He wanted Klingelhoffer to return to
Philadelphia with him yesterday ev-

report for week or two. This was
alright with the scout, and "Klingey"
goes to the big show in about a week

PRESIDENT IN CONFERENCE
Discussed Strike With Leaders ir
Congress-RaiIroad Managers Still
Comforting.

Washington, Aug. 24.-While littl
definite progress was made towards
settling the railroad dispute, ther'
were many indications that the rail-
road presidents were considering tn
eight-hour day on condition that SOM
definite assurance be given them tina
future disputes be arbitrated.
President Wilson has beel carefuBl.
studying a comprehensive statemen
of the cost of extending an e1Sht-hou
day to all railroad employees and EN-
ployes in industrial concerns through
out the country which the COMMITTEES
of railroad presidents gave him. The
railroad presidents take the position
that extension of the eight-hour day
to railroad trainmen eventually mean:
that it must be extended to all othel
railroad workers and to many OF those
in industrial pursuits.
The president sent for Senator New
lands and Representative Adamson foi
conference on the situation, and at Its
conclusion they said they ha / discuss
ed the strike controversy generally
but that no legislation to meet the sit
uation had been gone over specifically
The bill adding two members to the
interstate commerce commission
which has already passed the house
and which will come before the senat
Friday, was one Of the measures dis
cussed.

and managers was held and after {
thorough discussion of the situation
a recess was taken.
Elisha Lee, chairman of the man

ment:
There seems to be some question o.
the accuracy of the estimates made
by the railways of what it would cos
to grant the. demenads of the trair
employees and l make this statemen
to clarity the public mind on this
phase Of the matter.
There has been no change in ou
original estimate that to grant the de
mands would add a hundred millior
dollars year to operating expenses
On the contrary, subsequent investiga
tions have confirmed the substantial
accuracy of that estimate. The esti

"Confusions may have arisen from
the fact that we have estimate that i
would cost more than fifty million dol
lars year to make the concession:
which President Wilson has proposed
that we make. The differences be
tween the estimates is due of course
to the fact that the presi ,ent has pro
posed that we Immediately grant onl,

The second day of the Dorchester
County Fair was we'll attended yes
terday in spite of hot and ominous
weather. The attendance was con-
siderably larger than on the first day
and everyone really seemed to enjoy
it more. The first day the weather
was suffocating; it was impossible,
under any circumstances, to be COM
Portable, and eight out of every ten
present wished they had stayed home,
where they could hav made them
selves as comfortable as it is possible
to do in hot weather, and, at least,
would not have been all fused up
in their good clothes. Yesterday the
weather was several degrees cooler,
but still so warm that many persons
were kept away.
Yesterday was Girls Canning Club
Day, and the young ladies had the
time of their hves; they were present
in all sizes, large and small, fat and
thin, and the way their praises SCUM
ded by those who inspected their ex-
hibits was enough to cause embar-
rassment to those much older than
these misses of sixteen and under.
The racing events, as usual, at
tracted more attention than any 9TH
er single event. The exceptionally
good racing of the day before had
aroused the interest to the highest
point, and the norscmen were out in
full force. There were not so many
entries in the different races as on
Tuesday, but the races were hotly
contested; they were for blood all the
way through, and the finishes were
thrilling; in fact, to watch the hor-
ses, all in bunch, go round the
track, each driver jockeying for po-
sition and trying to get little more
speed than the others could endure
for the heat, some trying to drive the
other contestants off of their feet,
some trying to save their horses as
much as possible for the last quarter,
and the home stretch, was a sight
that made the lovers of the sport feel
good. The talent had as much diff
Guilty in picking the winners as any
one else; the best posted men slipped
up on their calculations. Some of
them would explain that their horse
was going to win because the other
horses could not stand five heats, or
their owners did not want to mark
them. or similar explanations, but
none of it went; the fastest horses
took the races and the monies. Sum-

"The reason chorus girls live up to

NEKOOSA Wins
FROM RAPIDS

The Suburbanites walloped the Grand
Rapids last evening in basket ball
game played at the Amusement hall
The game was very one sided and
the final score being Nekoosa IS, and
Grand Rapids A. The Rapids shot all
their ammunition in the first half and
only had four rounds at that. The
irsthaf was the best part of the
game and ended with the score, Ne
koosa 5, Grand Rapids A. In the sec
ond half, all the Cardinals could do
was to fight a rear guard action and
try and hold the quint from the other
end of the trolley line down. But the
fellows from the city where the new
bridge is being built were bound to
pile up few more points and man
aged, in spite Of the desperate efforts
of the quint from the capitol Of Wood
County, to add eight more points to
their side of the score. Final score
was Nekoosa 10, Grand Rapids f. A.
Natwick was referee and George
Crowns of Nekoosa was umpire Two
men, guard and center from Tomah

The Cardinals are trying to ar
range a game for next week with the

GOOD ROADS
And Rural,
DELIVERY
By CONGRESSMAN e. E. BROWN
Of Waupaca.

need not emphasize the import
ance of rural highways as an aid to
the postal service. If there is any
branch Of service which has fully
justified itself by results, it is rural
free delivery. l hold it to be true
that, in our common country, where
we all labor together to produce the
national wealth and all must bear a
share Of the burden of taxation, we
all are entitled to the national faciI-
tiles and advantages. The farmer is
as much entitled to the daily deliv-
cry of mail to his doorstep as the
dweller in the city. 1t is not only
a matter Of right, but a matter of
national Importance in a free repub-
lie as ours. Intelligence of all kinds
ought to be widely distributed;
books newspapers, literature, polit-
zeal intelligence, market reports
and all information relating to COM
merce and politics should be spread
broad cast throughout the land The
work of the postal department is to
supply the winged fete of Mercury;
the messenger Of the gods, and bring
the message to every American
home. The light of intelligence and
information; the news of the prog
ress Of the world, and the messages
from loved ones should flash to the
furthest corner which acknowledges
the jurisdiction of the United States.
The postal service is like a great
golden thread running to the furth-
est hill farm in the most remote
county in the Union and binding the
whole nation together There is no
bond of union so strong as the pos
tai service, which knows no east, no
west, no n c5h, no south
Howard H. Gross, Secretary of the
Farmers Good Road League of IL
inois, recently said: 'The need of
the hour is the road builder, and in
greater than in the Mississippi val
ley-the granary of the world
Throughout this great Mississippi
valley, of which the state Of Wisconsin
is part, it is a land Of sarpass-
ing fertility and almost boundless
possibilities, peopled with men and
women Of marvellous energy, hope
full, self reliant and prosperous be-
yond carpare. Within two genera
tons they have conquered the will
derness, swept the wigwam from the
prairie and placed in its stead the
modern, comfortable farm home.
They have crossed and re-crossed
this great area with railroads, over
which the traffic of an empire is car

who have given such splendid proof
of their capacity to do great things
should fail SO signally in dealing
with the public roads? I

prove the condition of rural life and
make it more attractive, and have
direct bearing upon the social, intel
lectual, and economic welfare of the
whole people; that it will be fol-
