NO INTERFERENCE BY
HINSDALE OFFICERS
Each Pitcher Had Bad Inning in Which
-Four Runs Were Scored Against Him
Married Men Just Missed Evening
Up = Score to f.

The single men of Brattleboro defeat
ed the married men at Island Park
Sunday afternoon by a score of ) to 4
Ill an interesting baseball game. 1t was
the first attempt to stage a game at the
park, which is the ball ground of Brat
tleboro although in New Hampshire ter
ritory, on a Sunday. Admission was
charged ana the 300 or more who paid
their way in apparently enjoyed the af
ternoon. There was no interference by
Ilinsdalc officers.
One thing was very noticeable to a
man who has attended most of the
games at the park in the last three
years. That was that there were
scores of faces in the grandstand he had
never seen before at a game. This
rather indicated, especially as he knew
many of them by sight ana had know
ledge of their occupations, that they
were taking advantage of an opportu-
nifty that had not been offered them be
fore.
No disturbance marked the game
One-third, probably, of the spectators
were women, most of them accompany
ing members of the other sex. Here
and there were a few children, but al
most without exception they were in
the company of their elders. Among
the audience were officials of Brattle-
horo.
So far as the game itself went the
error column may be disregarded almost
entirely for only three of the errors had
any effect on the score. Each pitcher
had a bad inning in which four runs
were scored against him. The single
men were lucky enough to get an ad-
ditional run in the opening inning and
the married men Just missed tying the
score in the last inning.
The single men scored in the first.
Kaine was safe on hard rap at IIar-
wood. He took second on a wild pitch.
Angler was passed and Kaine stole
third. They tried a double steal but
KANE was nailed at the plate on a
short throw to Bushy. who got the ball
back in fine style. Angler stole second
and followed that by a steal of third.
After Blake famed. Angler scored on
IIarwood s error on Filion S hard
groundcr.
/ The married men came back strong
in the second. Singles by Graves, Bus
Thy, Harwood ana Ferritcr with a very
/ wild throw by Gray off Riley : ground
| cr gave them four runs.
! The single men made four in their
half of the third inning. With one ont
Kaine singled and Angler was safe on
an error by Graves. Blake doubled to
left. Filion was passed. Gray failed
+ to hat for some reason and b. Angler
! lined to Riley. Kennedy singled, driv-
| ing in the fourth run of the inning.
After that neither side was able to
score. In the ninth Laird was sent
to bat for Harwood. He was hit OF
the head with a pitched ball 10y Blake
Davis attempted to catch him off first
and threw to right field. The ball was
folded back to first and Laird broke
for third and made it. With no one
out it looked like run. but Robinson
and Riley struck out and Fcrritcr
grounded out by way of the Angler
brothers.

Snakes Attack on Mother
Is Fatal to Unborn Babe

st. Louis, Mo-, July 21.-Attacked by
a snake in the street in front of her
home in the heart of the city, Mrs.
Faye G.. Prather, 21-year- old bride of
year, is in a serious condition at the
Missouri Baptist Hospital here.
An infant to which the young
woman gave birth at the hospital is
dead, and doctors attribute its death to
the shock it's prospective mother re-
ceived.
The snake, about Az feet long, at
tackled Mrs. Prather and her mother,
Mrs. Alexander Pow, as they were
leaving their home two days ago. 1t
ran from the grass near the sidewalk
and wrapped itself about Mrs. Pra-
Tiers ankle. While the daughter
screamed. Mrs. Pow attempted to beat
the snake off with an umbrella. It
turned on her, but an iceman who was
passing came to their rescue and killed
the reptile with his tongs.
Regardless of a slight wound, Mrs.
Prather continued her shopping trip
with her mother. No report of the
snakes attack was made to the police
until to-day. On her return home.
however, Mrs. Prather became seri-
ously ill and had to be removed to the
hospital.
Mrs. Prather is the wife of Faye G..
Prather, bank clerk for the Mortgage
Trust Company. They were married
secretly about year ago. The young
woman is widely known as a singer.

Pneumonia Fatal to "Fat"
Waugh, Crack A. P. Sender

New York, July 21. - w. L. Waugh,
known to telegraph operators through
out the country as Fat" Waugh died
from pneumonia here last night. Mr..
Waugh was born in Fulton, n. Y, in
1860, and began his telegraph career
as a messenger boy at the age of
twelve. He was graduated as an
operator for the Western Union at the
age of IA, and after a few years of
varied employment, entered the serv-
Ice of the Associated Press. Owing
to i'll health he was placed on the re-
tired list of the Associated Press a
fe wweeks ago.
Waugh's beautiful Morse" is a
tradition not only in The Associated
Press service but among telegraphers
everywhere. For many years he was
the sending operator in New York on
the first main trunk circuit between
New York and Chicago, and on arl
special occasions, such as national
conventions, he was the sender on
what is known as the bulletin wire"
Ill health preventd his detail to the
last national conventions and for the
first time in twenty years the As
ISOLATED Press was without the serv-
ices of one who, in the past, had
flashed to the world the nominations
of half a dozen presidents and vice
presidents and the candidates who
hap opposed them.

HAS NOT
BEEN APPOINTED
Selection of a Disbursing Off
Ger For the National Guard
Not Announced

Adjutant General Stewart said to-
day that Major Jere NJ. Leaman, of the
quartermaster corps at Mt. Gretna had
not been appointed to the important
place of disbursing officer for the Ma
tional Guard. 1t was reported last
night that Leaman had been appointed
and this caused a belief that the long
delayed payment of the National
Guardsmen, especially those who went
to the camp and were rejected would
be expedited.
Major Leaman has not been ap-
pointed. The only person authorized
to act as disbursing officer is myself.
The possibility of appointment of Ma
jor Leaman has been discussed, but
the government has not acted" said
he.
General Stewart also said that he
had not authorized any appointment
of officers in the quartermasters' corps
at Mt. Gretna other than those an
nounced some time ago.
The whole recruiting plan for the
National Guard remains in the same
confusion as early in the week. APP
pointments of recruiting officers are
being announced and they are report
ing at Mt. Gretna, but no assignments
to stations are being made and while
numerous inquiries are put to the re-
cruiting officers they are unable to do
anything except tell those who want
to enlist that the way to do it is to go
to Mt. Gretna at their own expense.
The State has drawn $4,000 from
the military emergency fund in addi-
ton to the $4,000 spent on the Allie
gheny strike and the cost of repairs
to the Scranton armory and families
and friends of Guardsmen are wonder
ing when they are going to be paid.
The emergency appropriation was half
a million and from it should have
been taken money to put the camp site
at Mt. Gretna in better shape than it
was when the Guardsmen arrived
there. At a time when every effort
should be made to attract men to the
service there is so much red tape and
adherence to archaic methods that
people eager to do what they can for
the military service are becoming dis
gusted.

Food Riots in France
and Belgium Suppressed
by German Military
By ASSncinteG Prcss

Rotterdam, July 81 (Via London)
Food riots which broke out in Bel
gium and Northern France have been
suppressed by the German military
authorities according to reports re-
ceived here from reliable sources. The
rioting was especially severe at Liege.
Nerviers, RoubaiX, Renaix, st. Mich
olas, Lokern and Termonde
The shortage of food which resulted
IN the riots, according to the relief
agencies, was due to the shortage of
tonnage which is not likely to be cor
rected as the German government
dennitelyn has refused to consent to
the plan to use interned ships to bring
relief food and because or the en-
barge which the German authorities
have placed on the import into Bel
gium and Northern France of native
Dutch food supplies which, especially
meats and fats, have done much 70
supplement- the supplies sent into the
occupied regions by the commission
for relief in Belgium.
The quelling of the riots in the
populous centers has been followed
by the compulsory evacuation from
the cities by the German authorities
of large sections of the industrial
populations. These have been scat
tered homeless throughout the agricul-
tural regions, the reports say, as pun
ishment and to minimize the risk of a
recurrence of the trouble.
The greatest forced migration took
place from the city of Lille from
which $4,000 people including wo-
men and children, were expelled
These people are not welcome in the
rural areas where the problem of re-
lief while not as acute as in the in
dustrial centers, does not make the
people desire any further drain on
their limited resources.

STUDY INDIAN
LORE BY CANOE
Scientists, Exploring Susque-
hanna For History of Red
Men, Visit City

Scientists who are making a trip
down the Susquehanna river in search
of historical data concerning the In
dians will meet tomorrow with the
Pennsylvania Historical Commission
at the State Library.
DR.. William K. Moorehead, of And
over, Mass, who is the head of the
expedition which started early in May
in New York State, with S. r. Moore
head. also of Andover were in Har-
risburg last night. They held a brief
conference with George P. Donehoe,
of Coudersport, Pa, secretary of the
Pennsylvania Historical Commission
and State Librarian, Thomas Lynch
Montgomery.
DR.. Moorehead left this morning for
Aqueduct where he met the other
members of his party, and spent the
day exploring Haldeman's Island and
historical points along the Juniata.
The party reached Sunbury two days
ago and have been exploring the Sus-
quehanna river in that vicinity.
The expedition party numbers nine
persons and includes engineers, three
Indian guides, DR.. Moorehead and S.
r. Moorehead. They have travelled
270 miles in large canoes, built es-
pecially for the trip. These canoes
will probably be brought to Harris
burg next week. Until Sunbury was
reached the explorers camped out on
islands, and along the river shore.
Plans for continuing the expedition
from Harrisburg to Chesapeake Bay
will be announced tomorrow. DR..
Moorehead may remain in Harrisburg
for sometime, and direct his party
from this city.
During his stay in Harrisburg last
night he denied the stories published
in the newspapers that skeletons of
horned Indians had been found near
Athens, Pa. He said:
I'VE found 81 skeletons in a pre-
historic cemetery there. They may
have been 800, 700 or even 1000 years
old. I don't know. Two or three of
them were six feet or more in length
Unusually large ones. About one
skeleton number or deer, or possibly
elk, antlers had been heaped, and
this gave rise to the story that a horn
ed skeleton of a prehistoric Indian
had been found. The horns may have
been placed there because of some
ritualistic rite, but they did not grow
on the human skeletons"

Believed Allies Will Make
Additional Representations

Washington, July 21. - Further
protests by the British and French
embassies against American recogni-
ton of the German submarine
Deutschland, as a merchantmen were
considered a possibility by State De-
partment officials. Clearance of the
vessel it was thought, might draw
from the allies a more definite objec-
ton than the informal complaint
lodged at the department on the sub
mersibles arrival.
So far the embassies have suggested
that the Deutschland is a potential
warship. Additional representations,
1t is believed would suggest that the
vessel lacks many characteristics es-
sential to a merchantship and might
even attempt to hold the United States
liable for damage the submarine
might do to allied shipping after she
leaves American waters.

OLIVER AND REED
AGAIN LOCK HORNS
Clash Over Armor Plant Bill i;
Naval Measure in Final
Stage
By Associated Press

Washington, d. c., July 81. - The
naval bill reached its last stage toward
passage in the Senate to-day with OPP
ponents of the large building program
ready with a fire of amendments for
reduction. Democratic Senators, how
ever, are confident the administration
program would prevail.
The vote was delayed by a renewal
of the controversy between senator
Reed, of Missouri, and Senator Oliver,
ing Mr.. Reeds absence from the cham
Der, got the unanimous consent of the
the Bethlehem M n Steel Gompany's publish
ed arguments against a Government
armor plate plant. When Senator Reed
returned and learned of it, he denounc-
ed the action as a Shameless PROPOSE
tion and an outrage" and declared the
company's statements were false and
misleading. Senator Oliver challenged
Mr.. Reed to show the statements he re-

Denounces Reed
Senator Oliver denounced the state
ment asserting that Senator Reed was
attempting to avoid his challenge.
that the Senator from Pennsylvania
on this floor admitted he owned a large
amount of steel stock and that this
stock was in a concern that was the
parent company of a concern engaged
in the manufacture of armor plate. The
Senator knows that whatever might
defeat the construction of a Govern
ment armor plate plant will increase
the price and profits for private armor

musical Jingle in the pockets of the dis

Senator Gallinger suggested that
Senator Reed was overstepping the SEN
also intervened Senator Reed then
read from the record another passage
between himself and Senator Oliver on
the same subject, when Senator oliver
told the Senate he owned United States
Steel stocks valued at $4,000
Can't Stop Printing
Senators Reed, MARITIME and Var
daman vainly sought to find some
means by which the unanimous con-
sent to print the Bethlehem Steel
documents could be reconsidered.
Then Senator Reed asked for an or
der that only 100 OF the Bethlehem
Steel documents be p rinted, but Sen
ator Penrose objected
Nov that the Bethlehem Steel
Company has been given the franking
privilege" said Senator Reed, as the
incident ended, II presume it will be
extended to any other corporation big
enough to have representatives in the
United State Senate"

eighty-two firms blacklisted by Great
Britain under the trading-with- the
enemy-act were invited TO send rep
resentatives to a meeting here to-day

test the validity of Great Britain's
position by sending an American ship
laden with goods from the blacklisted
firms to a neutral port consigned to a
neutral, or to an agent of the Amer
