suicide Thursday morning about
daylight in a feed room at the
rear of theChavis home in the
eastern partof town by cutting his
throat with knife and razor,
and was found about an hour la
ter very weak and cold from the
loss of blood and exposure. A
doctor was called, and it was
found that sevral gashes had been
made but that none of the large
arteries had been cut. The long
gashes reaching almost from ear
to ear presented ghastly sight,
and his condition was consider
ed serious for several days. No
excuse was given for the act,
save that his mind went wrong.
Mr.. Chavis rooms at the home
of his mother in law, Mrs. Nj. A.

the morning and starts the fires.
He went home on Thursday
morning and tipped in and Sc

CHANCE
 IN WAR ARENA

NEW YORK, Oct. 2S - Ambas- sador sharp sailed from this port Saturday afternoon for France, Were he will resume his consular duties. Before sailing he was be- seiged with press representatives to give them an interview on the war conditions on the contin- ont. Ambassador sharp weighed his words very carefully. The sub stance of his interview was that he had noticed but very little change in the war conditions within the last year. He thinks that the western front is in a terrific dead lock and nothing short of gun powder and force can break this deadlock. It all depends on who can mow men down the fastest, :" said MT. sharp.

BASEBALL GIRLS
DRAW APPLAUSE
Defeat Brattleboro Athletics 90 to 16-
Faced Pitching Like Veterans
and Made Clever Plays.

The Boston Girls baseball team de-
feated the Brattleboro Athletics 20 to
10 ON Island Park grounds yesterday
afternoon before crowd that packed
the grandstand and well filled the
bleachers. The score does not indicate
the fact that the home team changed
places with nearly every inning, that
balls were lobbed up to the plate and
that base runners did almost everything
to avoid getting around the bases.
The crowd was interested in the play
Of the girls, several of whom had more
than fair ability. Miss Dennison, cap
tam, who pitched the first three
innings, could throw curves and played
like veteran. Later, when she re-
tired to center field, she made a pref
ty catch of long fly and doubled a
. runner off first, drawing applause that
was sustained until after she had come
III to the bench.
Little Miss Rivard, who played
second and later pitched three
innings, was the life of her team She
covered lot of ground ana faced a
red hot liner like a veteran, Juggling
the ball and finally dropping it, but
getting the runner at first.
Miss Denehy, who played third the
greater part Of the game and caught
the last inning, gave an exhibition of
base running that made the local play
ers open their eyes. In the ninth she
made a clean steal of home, sliding
! over the plate. She made several pref
/ ty plays at third. Miss . 'Rourke in
. LETT field made catch of low liner

Let Something Good Be Said.

The death of James Whitcomb Riley
takes from ms the poet of the home
and the fireSde. Like Burns he was
the poet of the common people and the
common people loved him and did much
to help make him famous and rich.
His poetry may not have reached the
heights Of Parnassus but it sounded
the depths Of the human heart and
left its impress there to remain forever.
Here is one of the poems that helped
10 make him famous. 1t would do no
harm to commit IT to memory and re
peat it from time to time:-
When over the fair fame of friend or
foe
The shadow of disgrace shall fall;
instead
Of words of blame or proof of Thus
and SO.
Let something good be said.
Forget not that no fellow being vet
May fall so low but love may lift
his head
Even the cheek of shame with tears
is wet,
If something good is said.
No generous heart may vainly turn
aside
In ways of sympathy; no soul SO
dead
But may awaken strong and glorified
| If something good be said.
And so I charge ye by the thorny
crown
And by the cross on which the Sa
viOr bled,
And by your own souls hope of fail
ren0Wn,
Let something good be said.

The Giants aren't giants. Many of

Kauff, Burns, Raridcn and three or

The Cubs are full grown. There's

Frank Schultz. Mike Doolan, Heinie

Killing are bit elderly too
The Indians aren't what their name
implies. They're not savages. They
don't emit warwhoops or conduct

The Browns are not brown.
The DODGERS still dodge trolley ears
in the Uilds Of Brooklyn. but they
don't dodge the other bah clubs as they
used to do in the bygone days.
The Cardinals belle their name Car
diuals are not supposed to use profane
language chew tobacco or drink beer.

There is another Bernie Wefers. He
is son of the Bernie who twenty-five
years ago was the greatest sprinter in
the world and whom many regard as
the greatest short distance runner that
ever lived.
1t is seldom that son takes up the

According to the Field of London.
there is little prospect of an agreement
between England and the United States
Golf association over the question of
the abolition Of the stymie. Abroad,
the score is a matter Of little weight in
comparison with the result of the
match, and consequently the stymie
is welcomed as an extra hazard in the
game
In America the medal score is scru.
pulously kept, and there is also a fond.
ness for multibalI matches. where a
stymie is a very inconvenient thing.

inent players have come out whole.
heartedly against the practice of play

stymie is diSregarded in privat,

practice Is followed abroad
1t is possible that the same action

limited Press Leased Wire Serv1ce.J
NEW YORK, Dec. 21.-The New
York Evening Sun financial review
today said:
The government at Washington
sprang two surprises on Wall street
today that did not tend to soothe the
already strained nerves of that COM
mrnitv. It is true that hint OF
what was to come from the presi<
dent in the way OF a peace COM
munication to the European belliger-
ents was given yesterday in a brief
dispatch from the capital, but thar
circumstance cid not prevent the
actual note as published from taking
the rank and file very much by sur
prise.
The first and immediate result was
further scramble to unload stocks,
despite the violent reactions of the
past week or so.
Trading was of the widest descrip
ton. short of actual panic sens1
tions. This onslaught was stemmed
somewhat at midday, although rallies
were not extensive. Not g little sup
mort was thrown in the market by
the big operators and with some
chance Of at least keeping the market
within bounds.
At this iuncture, however, there
came a despatch from Washington
with Secretary Lansing's elaboration
Of the presidents purpose in sending
his peace note at this particular time
