ingly safe hit and then. after half
falling TO the ground, recovered hiul-

While Manager Robinson would not

knows their every batting weakness,
having faced most OF them in many
series when pitching for The Athletics.
Heavy Batting.
The batting OF the TWO teams Satur-
day was heavier than Il casual glance
at the score would indicate. Brook
Ign had a total Of fourteen bases and
Boston Is. In the ninth inning the
SuperbaS had ten men at the plate.
This is the first time in five years
of worlds series games that so many
men have gone to bat in one inning.
As usual in worlds series games, The
in the first contest was Of Il
high order. No one disputed the
decisions Of Connolly behind the plate,
and O'Day'S judgment on base plays
was accepted without question. This
is the first series O'Day has ulficiatcd
in since 1910, when III" Philadelphia
Athletics and Chicago Cubs battled
for supremacy. COnnnlly's last ap.
pcarance in tho worlds series prior
to this year was in 1918.

tain route around town. This part of the

a most systematic manner. Certain trees

a ride. The following owners gave the

ADDRESSES CLUB
OF REPUBLICANS

Hon. Bert NJ. Fernald Of Poland,
candidate for the nomination for
United States senator in the Repub-
!ican primaries, was in the city Thurs
day evening and addressed a good
sized gathering at the Republican
Club. The meeting was not greatly
advertised and the turnout was even
better than was expected. Mr.. Fer
raid spol;e for 40 minutes, discussing
the issues of the day as between the
two parties and his address was we'll
received by those present. He began
his address with number Of stories
and told Of his interest in the city of
Waterville which he had watched
grow to one of the most thriving in
the State. He then took up the policy
Of the Republican party as opposed to
that of the Democratic. He told of the
conditions in this country under Dem
ocratic free trade before the break
ing out of the great war across the
water and Of how Industries all over
the country were shutting down, be-
cause they could not compete with the
cheap labor of across the seas. He
spoke from personal experience as one
factory in which he was the owner
was forced to close because of out
side competition. He declared that the
European was was the highest tariff
that this country ever had and that
under it the country was prospecting
as never before. He declared that when
the war closed the armies would re-
turn to farming first of all and that
unless something was done to the tar
| if, the American farmer and the
Maine farmer as badly as anyone else
would be hit by the conditions as this
| country would be flooded with the
products Of the farms of the old
world.
Mr.. Fernald also took up the Clay
ton antitrust bill and told in an anus
| ing way Of the men who have been
| placed on the committee to draft this
! BILL three lawyers from country towns
| who are to draft bill which will con-
troll the business of over 10000 corpor-
atoms.
| He closed his address with an elo-
quent appeal for the Republicans to
get to the polls on the day Of the pri-
mary and vote for the men whom
they thought best represented the
principles Of The Republican party and
| when they had made the nominations
to all stand together and elect Re
publicans to Office, for Maine will lead
the Union again this year and all over
| the United States they will be looking
to Maine to see what is done here
Al the close of his address he was
| warmly congratulated by the men
present and all assured him that his
| visit had been very pleasant one to
them.

Pointed out that Knox has been
catching Shirley all the time in prac-
tice and that his style is much differ

reason it might have bothered the
pitcher. who has tendency to be wild
anyway. Knox is exactly the type of
catcher in the opinion Of the baseball
critics Of the city to hold up a pitcher
who is wild, while Ashworth attends
more to his part Of the game and lets
the pitcher look after himself 1t is
