RUTH PROVES INVINCIBLE

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BOSTON, August 16.-Waiter Johnson
lost one of the toughest games of his
entire career yesterday. when in the
thirteenth inning, with two out and
two on bases, he allowed Larry Gard
ner to hit instead of taking a chance
on Janvrin. who followed Gardner. The
Red Sox third baseman had been the
only one of the team who had taken
kindly to Johnson's delivery. having a
single and triple to his credit when
he faced him in the thirteenth. Janvrin,
on the other hand, had been up twice
and had not made anything that re-
sembled base hit. The score was
to 0.
The Griffmen had several chances to
win, but luck did not favor them. Rice
started the second inning with single
and Shanks moved him up with a sacrl-
fee. Williams got scratch nit TO
third. but Rice could not advance on
the play. Anismith hit long fly to
center. on which Rice advanced after
it had been caught. but McBride's line
drive was pulled down by Hooper, end
ing the inning.
Johnson was walked when he was the
first man up in the third inning. Nor
gan sacrificed him to third, but Milan
forced him and then Foster popped up
to first. Ainsmith started the fifth
with a double. which bounded off the
top of the scoreboard. Mcbride sacri-
feed him to third, but Johnson hit a
high fly to first and Morgan was out on
a grounder to Gardner.
Foster Makes a Single.
Foster singled with one down in the
oiv but
safely, and when Hoopers throw, after
going through Gardner, bounded against
the stand the ball came back to Gardner
in time for him to throw out Rice at the
plate Milan started the ninth by walk
ing, but he was forced by Foster. Foster
died stealing and Shanks struck out.
Ainsmith died at the plate in the tenth.
Williams started the inning with hit,
only to be forced by Ainsmith. Mcbride
tossed to Barry covering the bag. but he
dropped it and both Mcbride and Ain
smith were safe with but one out. John
son hit to Janvrin, forcing Mcbride at
for the plate. but perfect throw by
Barry nailed him there.
Tough Luck in Thirteenth.
The tough luck came in the thirteenth.
after johnson had been retired. Janvrin
threw wide to first and Morgan was
saved Ruth then had a balk called on
him and Morgan went to second. Milan
hit terrific liner toward right. which
nine times out of ten would have been
good for three bases. but HoblitZell
stabbed it, and. Of course, as Morgan had
started for third, it was an easy matter
to make double play.
In the thirteenth Barry got a scratch
infield hit, Lewis was struck out and
Hoblitzell flied to Milan. Then Walker
singled to center and Gardner followed
suit, Barry scoring the only run Of the
game. Score:

KENNEP0HL OPPOSES SUBSIDY;
FAv0RS LOCATING FACTORIES

The following has been submitted by
b. A. Kennepohl:
| notice an effort on foot to bring
an interurban line from the north in
TO Richmond and to induce the taxpay-
ers to vote a subsidy of one hundred
thousand dollars to accomplish the
same Let us take up conditions and
see if Richmond couldn't invest one
hundred thousand dollars to better
advantage--to help the growth and
prosperity of Richmond.
First-Take the interurban business.
Isn't 1t a fact that the auto trucks in
Richmond are cutting in on the in
terurban traffic? And auto transfer
is only in its infancy.
Second-Would it be good policy for
the city OF Richmond to invest in this
interurhan line, which has proven a

failure, and is now in the hands Of
the receiver, / understand?
Let us see if this hundred thousand
couldn't be invested to do much more
direct good for the citizens of Rich
mond,
Suppose the citizens of Richmond
would vote this amount to the pur
chase and establishment of the Gaar-
Scott plant, which in earlier days was
the main factor in Richmond-and
many of the homes built here are from
the earnings down by Gaar's," as
the German says.
Now how. to do this-Take stock in
the plant, elect three directors, say
the mayor and two citizens-nonpar-
tisans. Then get up company,
which l think could be gotten up here
in Richmond, and in few years we
would have the Gaar plant like bee
hive again, and realize a percent on
the money invested. 1t seems to me
such a plan would be a much greater
help to Richmond than an interurban
line. How does this strike you?

Little wheat has survived the Sc

according to farmers in the north

than one field in ten they say will do

Josephus Offers Defense.

Referring to The Winsted Citizen s suggestion that the founder of theBald. Head Club of America" organize bald . headed military company for duty on the Mexican border, Josephus Hollis. ter, Of the Pittsfeld Eagle. goes on. this way:
 "John, like the time and tide, waits for no man. If there were need at the front John would intrepidly marshal the fearless hosts of the gallant bald. heads and send them to the border so fast they would set fire to the buildings along the way. Waiting forsooth The only watchfuI waiting in this country is done in Washington. AS a matter of historic fact, John offered to raise brigade of bald heads and Woody cabled him in cipher note to be text. ually delivered: I can't let you, John. It would make the colonel envious. You know how it is. My sole excuse for violating confidence and laying this hitherto unpublished diplo- matic secret before my readers is that tardy justice nay be done to very great and a very good man. I refer here to the publicity agent of the Bald. Head Club-not to the executive head of this nation. But to Greeleyize: In at least two of the troop trains that went through here were cars filled ex- clusively with near. bald heads-and by a near bald head mean a man who, having failed to attain through the processes of nature, that sublime degree of Hairless Hoot, had let the clippers jealously stray through his tresses and laid them low. A man with bald head has this satisfaction, there is just so much less to shoot off. Speaking of soldering am constrained to conclude these intensely Illuminating remarks with story heard John tell in the Fremont campaign.

 Sunday evening the Epworth League musical committee will have charge of the service. A musical program or unusual interest has been arranged, consisting of hymns of the church, several solos and quartette. The soloists are Miss Lillian Walter, of Wayne, Penn, and Miss Jennie Evans, of Hartford.
 In one selection Miss Evans sings Nearer My God to Thee and Miss Cornelia Sexton, miss of nine, depicts the deaf and dumb symbols appropriate for this hymn. Miss Evans and Miss Sexton have given this selection several times in churches in Hartford and have received very fattering comments. A musical treat is in store for you. Come and enjoy it.
