Wins FROM
LOCAL BOYS I TO 8

The Athletics failed to put over
their habitual ninth inning rally at
Colonial Park Sunday and as a result,
were defeated by the invaders from
the Centralia camp to the tune of z
to 8. Mexico lead the game most Of
the time until the eighth inning, when
the grand unscheduled balloon ascen-
sion took place and the Athletics
hopes for first place fled a little farth-
err away.
The Athletics came up strong in
the sixth, when Mcdonald singled,
followed by Lancaster, who annexed
a neat single which was duplicated
by Willingham, scoring Mcdonald,
Kistler laid down a perfect bunt, and
pushed Lancaster cross the plate
J B. Marshall grounded out, scoring
Kistler.
Centralia made two tallys in thu
first half of the sixth, when Bieder'
man slugged the pill for three bases
and O'Brien went him n better ant
lined out a home run. All went wei
until the eighth and then something
"busted." When the smoke cleareI
away, Centralia had added five count
to modest two they started the in
mig with, and all was over for the res
of the Afternoon.
Heskamp. the Centralia twirler wa
hit hard, and his place on the noun
' was taken by Gross in the seventh.
Owing to Paris dropping out of Il
League, the Athletics will play q
exhibition game at Cononial Pal
: next Sunday with some team ont

u uled with Paris.

COST HIM SLIGO.

His interest in the Mexico Prepared
ress Company at fever heat with
Carranza maliciously ambushed be-
hind his whiskers, a local youth whose
identity is not positively established,
is reported to have spent $11 in st.
Louis recently in order that he might
not only see some U. S. regulars
drill, but might issue the commands
himself = with the aid of n of the
boys in olive drab.
The story goes something like this:
This youth went to Jefferson Bar
racks and came across a non-com Off
Ger and asked if he could see the
troops at drill. The non-com told him
they were through for the day but
that if he would secure a party Of
privates, take them off the reserva-
ton to a nearby saloon and pur-
chase refreshments they might let
him witness the martial display
He took the suggestion and after
SPENDING $11 to satisfy the thirst of
the troopers saw them drill as well
as issued commands through the aid
of one of the soldiers at his elbow.
1t is further alleged that he pur-
chased a wrist watch at the same time.
Just what his purpose was in secur-
ling this emblem is not known, un-
less it was that some Of the U. $,
officers have adopted the style which
is popular abroad.

MONTE CARLO FEELING
EFFECTS OF THE WAR

MONTE CARLO, July Ia. = The
monday train draws slowly into the
station. A flood of passengers pours
fourth. Leaving the station the crowd
surges up the marble steps and skirts
the vast edifice which crowns the
abrupt hill top; they are soon swal-
lowed up within the portals of the
great building. 1t is a shabby, dow
dy crowd, mostly women.
/ make my way slowly and enter
the Casino. The doors Of the gaming
rooms are thrown open by the fami-
liar .frock-coated attendants. In the
gloom-filled halls a somberly dressed
crowd is clustered about the gaming
tables. I go up to the first roulette
table. Around it are seated many Of
the same persons who alighted from
the train.
In front of each player there is a
very small pile of white "chips," here
and there a few red ones. The white
achips' represent five francs; the red
twenty francs. There are also bright
b!ue "chipsp of one hundred francs.
Gold has disappeared from Monte
Carlo, as elsewhere.
These players seem to be chiefly
housewives and shopkeepers of the
lower middle class, recruited, appar-
emily, from among the natives OF
the neighboring towns. Officers and
men of no matter what rank Of all the
allied armies, whether in uniform OF
not, are vigorously excluded. To
day 80 per cent of the player sare
women; plain bourgeois and peasant
types of faces abound. The loss OF
few francs matters greatly in theii
lives. and L see several leave the IT,
bles in much distress after losing .
guinea. In the sumptous refreshmen'
rooms many of those who had como
early are drinking a glass Of beei
and munching a sandwich, OTTER
brought with them wrapped in a news
paper.
Then as train time arrives NUM-
bers of the players hurry toward thf
exit. Some carry with them then
"chips" for another days play; 9th
ers more umerou cash in a whit
chip or two, or go away empty-hand
ed. One by one the tables are aban.
doned. By eight o'clock all but three
tables have stopped their play ant
are closed for the night. Only a
these three tables, all "roulette" Ia
bIes, is the playing continued unit
midnight. This is the aspect Of tn
famous gaming rooms of Monte Carl
today.

INJUNCTION QUESTIONED.

Judge Voolfolk, of the Pike County
Court, issued an injunction some time
ago enioining the railroads from car
rying liquor into Pike county. No
question was raised against the in
junction at the time, but later the
Burlington road brought the case up
and tried to do away with the IN
junction entirely.
This was refused, but Judge Wool
folk modified the injunction to pro-
hibit the shipping Of liquor to boot
leggers, known violaters Of the law
and keepers of questionable resorts
This modified injunction is in line with
the ruling of Judge Harris, of Boone
county, when he made the Boone
county injunction permanent.

HUNTERS
LICENSE Law is IN
NEED OF REVISION
According to the Statement Of
Forest, Game and Fish
Warden.

WHEELING, Nov. 1G-West Virginia
needs a resident hunters license law,
J. A V1qucsney, state forest, game and
fish warden, OF Belington. declared yes
terday, while in Wheeling on his way
TO Piutshurg on business. At the last
session OF the legislature, MIR. VtQues-
mes attempted to have enacted law
which provided for resident hunters
license of 81 in one county or 50 for
the entire state. The law finally passed
differed greatly from that urged by Mr..
Viqucsney, providing that resident
county licenses be granted free and
THAT statewide licenses cost SO.
At the next regular session Of the
legislature, Mr.. Eiquesney will at
tempt to have enacted the measure
which he proposed two years ago. Sen-
timent has changed considerably dur
ing the last few years, and the need
OF such n measure Is now generally
recognized, he says, and he believes
the bill will now pass.
The proposed measure would pro
duce between $4,000 and $4,000 in
revenue which would maintain the de-
partment, create funds to carry on the
work OF fish and game propagation
and forest preservation, besides pay
ing the bounties provided by the pres
ent law.
The present law raises between
$4,000 and $4,000. which is not suffl-
cient to carry on all the work of the
department and pay the bounties. Thu
law provides that ten per cent Of the
collections from licenses shall be
turned into a fund from which boun-
ties are paid. Tho following rewards
or bounties are offered: for each wild
cat, IS; for each hawk Except spar
