Russ Halls Bengals and Tealey
Raymond's Giants staged the
best game of the Northwestern
1916 season yesterday afternoon
at Athletic park.
1t was a snappy. scrappy, Zip
pety-bang battle, the Kind that
keeps a crowd on the edge of the
seats, too excited to even root
properly.
The fact that Tacoma lost the
battle detracts nothing from the
real big-league class of the exhi-
bition.

THE SEATTLE team had over
come the daze which surround

ed like fiends, and they deserved
TO win.
Willie McIvor, a Seattle native
son, started the pitching, but
walked the first two men and was
yanked before he could do any
further damage. Bill Rose re-
placed him.
A CLEVER DOUBLE steal in
the first inning gave Tacoma
score. Dick Mehlhaf, youngster
from Santa Clara college, was
pitching his first professional
game, and was somewhat nervous

Eldred, hit Sheehan, and walked

run.
Tiny Leonard had begun to
warm up, but Capt. Bill Leard
allowed Mehlhaf to stay in the
game, and the boy proved that he
was some pitcher, after all. lie
only allowed five hits in the en-
tire game, and scattered three Of
them so they we're not dangerous.

FOR SEVEN INNINGS the
game sped merrily along, neither
side making a tally. In the eighth,
however, Seattle stepped into It's
stride. Eldred, first man up, hit
a double to left. Cunningham
was safe when Thompson hit him
in the head while fielding a bunt.
Sheehan fouled out, and Giddings
allowed the ball to hit his sleeve.

Armor ManufacfuYe---Privafe or by
Governmental Question of Price

The Bethlehem Steel Company has
sent TO the members OF Congress the
following memorial in opposition 10
the manufacture OF armor plate by the
Federal Government. il contending
that question OF price is an impor-
tant element in the situation:
March 2S. 1916.
To the Members OF Congress:
The sole question involved in the
scheme TO spend S11.OO00OO to build
a Government armOr factory-and
supplant the three existing private
plants-is whether by such method the
people will save money.

The specifications in the United States
are much more rigid and the wages
paid are very much higher than those
prevailing in any foreign country.
Second-We now offer to make ar

ST. Louis Republic Makes Astounding OF
fer to Ambitious Women.

Surprising in liberality any offer of
its kind ever given in this section,
The 81. Louis Republic is offering to
young women a remarkable oppor-
tunity of winning sixteen luxurious
motor cars without a cent of cost.
Other handsome prizes, including
sparkling diamond rings, Victrolas.
ETC., are also to be distributed free
among those who respond to the Of
ter.
The glittering array Of automobiles
is attracting the eager attention of
thousands upon thousands of people,
and the good news of The Republics
great automobile and prize campaign
is sweeping in every direction.
Automobiles are something not
everyone can buy. To obtain one
without paying money for it is some
thing that seldom occurs. Its posses
sion means pleasure unalloyed, pleas
ure that only big money can buy-ex-
cept in this campaign. The opportun-
ity is open to women, whether resid-
ng in city or country. Those resid-
ing in the outside districts do not
have to compete with candidates in
Greater st. Louis, as they have an
equal prize list of their own to share
in.
Every woman, married or single,
from sixteen years up, has an equal
chance to become the owner of an
automobile. The ambition to sue
coed is the principal requisite. AL
ready many aspirants are beginning
to participate in the campaign, but
the long list of splendid prizes pre-
sents an enticing opportunity to many
more.
The st. Louis Republic exercised
much thought and care in selecting
for its prize automobiles such cars as
the ultimate winners will be proud to
own. Best of all is the 81 ,724 West
colt Six, a classy 7-passenger model.
The Chandler Six, costing $3.50, is
another free prize. A $1,115 Stude-
baker, a 81, lilo Velie Six, a REQ Six
worth $1,175, and a Chalmers, selling
at $1,12O, are among the beautiful
awards, besides ten other cars. Every
a is a 1917 model, therefore con-
tanning the improvements and equip
ment that next years automobiles
will have.
The automobiles and other prizes
a be won by the simple expedient
of gathering votes. Free votes are
published every day in The St. Louis
Republic, while thousands Of addition
al votes can be secured by assisting
in extending the circulation of The
st. Louis Republic among friends
Not only are the awards worth every
effort to secure, but the gathering of
votes will prove a fascinating pursuit.
Full details of The Republics cam
paign with Illustrations and descrip-
tions of the sixteen automobiles, and
everything necessary to start in the
campaign will be mailed free by ad-
dressing the Campaign Manager, St.

There is one man among the $50
ready to march up Pennsylvania avenue
this morning whose appearance will
cause the blood to pulse faster through
the veins of every true American along
the line of march.
True, President Wilson at the head OF
the parade will catch the eye of all.
But back among the thousands who will
follow the Chief Executive will march
gray-haired man. with a flowing white
goatee, who will stir the patriotism of
Republicans as well as Democrats, for
he represents America united.
The children along the line Of march
will recognize him from seeing his
picture in their book of nursery rhymes.
The grown-ups will know him because
they are all his nephews and nieces.
For years cartoonists and artists
throughout the country have used Uncle
Sam" a mythical character, to represent
their country.
Inmate of Soldiers Home.
For many of these years there has
lived obscurely in the Soldiers Home near
Brookland, D. c., one George Campbell,
who, without the aid of the actors make
up, is the image of the mythical uncle
Of all Americans. Today he will don his
red and white striped trousers and his
high hat of stars on a field of blue, and
march up Pennsylvania avenue as spryly
as he did with Gen. Grant at the close
of the civil war fifty years ago.
Uncle Sam will march with the
