| The Yankees are calling all of their
Preserves. The latest is that they have
summoned Tim Hendryx and Angel Ara.
gon from Richmond. Both boys have
been playing the infeld, but Hendryx
was an outfelder in the Southern league
last year. He reported TO the Yankees
last fall. but was farmed out to Rich
mond when the Yankees were northward
bound on the spring training trip. He
played for a while with the Cleveland
Indians three years ago.
1t is a long time between remnants in
ST. Louis, but every few years the fans
get excited over some squirt of one of
their teams Not since 1888 has St
Louis won pennant, although on sever
al occasions the teams have had squirt
that has put them near the top. The
team led by Miller Higgins in 1914
climbed from the bottom of the ladder to
within one game of the league leading
Giants, and then the crash came that
put away all hopes of a pennant. Now
the fans are led to believe that Fielder
Jones Browns have a chance to win.
When the Browns won five straight from
the Athletics. fans paid no attention to
the work, satisfied that the record was
due to the class of the Mackmen, who
are being beaten by every club in the
league. Then came the six victories over
the Yankees, and these We're discounted
because the Yankees were in such Grip
pied condition. But the two victories
over the Red Sox, which ran the st.
Louis string up to IA straight, makes the
fans take real notice as the Red Sox
have been winning from every team in
the league. Is Jones pulling a helpless
team from the bottom up to where they
viii battle with the best team for that
flag as he did in 1905 when he was
plotting the White Sox?
Burlington fans will have a chance
to see Ray Collins, former Red Sox
pitcher, in action Tuesday when he viii
pitch for picked team against the Bur
lington team of the Vermont State
league. There will be several old stars
in the picked team.

PIEROTTI PUZZLER
FOR VISITORS
The League Game Played in
Barre Was Rather
Farcical

Fifteen safe wallops for a total OF q
bases, combined with four costly errors
on the part of the Burlington te!ders
gave the Barre l. A. c. walk over
Saturday afternoon on the Berlin street
grounds by score of II TO l.
Pierotti, formerly OF Everett, Mass,
high school and for the past season a
pitcher on the Washington and Lee col.
lege team, did some very good work on
the mound for Barre, His speed dazzled
the Burlington batsmen at all times IN
the game, but at times he was as wild as
he was speedy.
Palmer. the star southpaw OF the Bur.
lington team, received one Of the worst
drubbings of his career in the box, being
touched for nine hits for total OF 10
bases, and was relieved by Levin, short
stop, at the beginning of the sixth inning
Levin Jared no better than did his prede-
cessor for the Barre team took a liking
TO his serves and before the game was
finished had hammered him six times for
a total of 10.
For the Barre team Davidson and stu
art led the sluggers with three hits
apiece, Davidson getting two singles and
a home run out of five times at bat and
Stuart rappng out three singles. The

ROBBERS GET $4,000
Detroit Police So Far Unable to Trace
Men.

Detroit, Aug. Saturday night, SO
hours after the daylight hold-up of the
motor pay car of the Burroughs Adding
Machine company by five automobile
bandits, Detroit police still were as much
in ignorance concerning the identity of
the bold highwaymen or their possible
wherea bouts as though they never had
existed. 1t was admitted that, /or the
present the men apparently have made
good their escape with their booty placed
by company officials at from $4,000 to
1000.
In the time that has elapsed since the
bandits staged their sensational daylight
robbery dozens OF clues have been traced
down, with six men arrested only to be
released when they established alibis.
Two were taken in custody in Detroit
and four in Lansing, Mich, where they
were said to have driven into town in
car of similar make to that used by the
bandits. All hope OF the ultimate cap
ture of the five robbers has not been
a bandoned

Mr.. Hughes Critics.

| Old supporters OF Mr. Hughes who for
partisan reasons have foresworn their al
legiance are indulging themselves in mid
summer campaigning OF an unusually
amusing sort.
In the Times, for example. appears
this morning a solid column and more OF
ominous differences concerning the de-
cline of his intellect and moral charac-
ter. This saddening diagnosis is based
on Mr. Hughes remarks concerning wom-
an suffrage. Having accepted his party's
platform, which, while favoring extern
sion of the suffrage to women, recog-
nizes the right of each state to settle
the matter for itself the candidate, in
our neighbors view. had no right to
postpone the disclosure he made to Sen
ator Sutherland that he himself prefers
extension of the suffrage by amendment
of the federal constitution.
Even more lamentable, we learn, was
his appeal to the Roosevelt Women's
league to seek the suffrage as human
beings, as citizens, rather than narrowly
as women. Here is detected an assump-
ton of sex solidarity, which is insult
ing to the intelligence of the suffragists
or a disgraceful angling for votes of en-
franchised women The whole incident
shows "a figure long respected and hon
ored' that "has either suddenly deteri-
Grated or revealed itself as it is"
There are many substantial reasons
for giving the vote 10 women, and some
that are merely interesting. Among the
latter is the tendency 70 fantastic de-
auctions and wild statements which op-
position to the rights of women as citi-
zens seems to beget.-New York Globe.

New York. Aug. when five.sixths

ployes of 225 railroad systems through

chairmen of the trainmen's unions had
not arrived Saturday morning and it was
definitely stated by the officials of the
four trainmen's brotherhoods that the

cred and joint conferences with the rail

A Reduction in the Income
Tax Exemption Rec
commended
BY THE SENATE
FINANCE COMMITTEE
A $4,000 Minimum for Those
with Fam lies-May
Not Prevail

Washington, d. C., Aug Reduction
Of the income tax exemption from $4,000
TO $1,000 for single persons and from
$1,000 TO $1,000 for those with families
was ordered recommended TO the Senate
Saturday night at Washington by Demo
cratic members OF the finance committee
who are revising the House revenue bill
The change is proposed in an amendment
which would put the additional 81 900
taxed in separate classified tion and i'm
pose on II normal tax of one per cent.
instead of the two per cent. assessed
against incomes over $4,000 for single
persons and over $4,000 for married per-
sons.
The amendment after an all day dis
cussion, prevailed by majority OF only
one vote. After announcement OF the
result by Chairman Simmons, some OF
the Democratic senators said that the
decision was tentative and might be
overturned when the amendment was
submitted to the full membership of the
this week.
The roll-call on the amendment was
not disclosed. Those who favored EN-.
phasized the grave necessity of addi-
tionsl revenue, and had estimates be-
lore them showing the proposed exemp.
lion reductions would bring about S..
100000 to the treasury 1t proba bly,
would increase several fold the total
number of taxables.
This amendment is the second change
n the income tax proposed by Senats
Democrats who Friday night voted to
Increase the surtax on incomes in excess
Il s2,o00,o00 from 10 to IS per cent. 1t
5 estimated that the surtax change
would bring in $lo,000,00o additional rev

Notes of the Game,

Gallagher's three Dagger was a beauty.
Levin made a pretty catch of Dole's
bat in the first frame when he stabbed
the ball out OF the daisy tops and com
pleted double play by throwing the ball
TO Ashland and catching Gallagher fiat
footed.
Wakefield played sensational game
at first. taking II chances without a slip.
Fitzpatrick pulled himself out OF a
tight squeeze in the ninth when. with
three men on and one out, he retired the
side without a run
Hamilton's coaching OF his players was
the life of the game. At times they
seemed like dead men but Hamilton's
never-say spirit put confidence in the
team a. the game progressed.
The umpire must have had ewes in the
back of his head when he called IaFoun-
tain out for not touching third base in
the ninth inning, for i certainly looked
from the bench a. though he was looking
directly into right feld, where the bail
wac sailing.
II was a great game 10 watch, for the
teams we're playing about $3.50 through
out the nine innings.

Notes of the Game.

Maiden's bad error of Blacks easy
grounder in the third inning seemed to
upset Palmer and from then to the finish
the whole team played poor ball.
Dayidson's home run was q beauty,
sailing directly through the gate from
the Berlin street entrance.
Stuart played rafting game at first
base, accepting - chances without a slip
and also did some good stick work.
Lavoie seemed to think that Pierott
was not capable of kicking on the UNI
pires' decisions of balls and strikes. so he
dipped in and gave him hand on several
occasions.

was beaten by Burlington yesterday at
Intercity park by the score of 3 to 2. 1t
was the second time within a week that
Montpelier has been beaten by the Queen
City team. Fitzpatrick, an outfelder,
pitched for Burlington and did fair work
holding Montpelier to nine hits and issu-
ing only three bases on balls. Gallagher
who pitched for Montpelier, also did some
nice pitching, but ragged fielding behind
him lost the game. The score:

us turned traitors to their ancestral
heritage. And the process continues.
Many are deserving us, many more
are willing and anxious to desert,
waiting only for an opportune mo-
ment, or plausible pretext. To some
nowadays Judaism is an outworn
creed, to others it is an imaginary cal
amity, handicap in life's struggle In
them our opponents find helpful
ally.
But the memories that Hanukkah
awakens within us cannot but inspire
us with courage and hope The result
of the conflict cannot be otherwise
than it has been thruout our history.
No matter what temporary gains the
pagan materialistic spirit of the times
may make, the spirit of Judah will
triumph. No matter how many of our
own may turn faithless, enough of
true Israel will remain, in co-opera-
ton with others moved by the same
spirit, will continue the struggle to it's
triumphant end. Such is the faith
the little Hanukkah lights rekindle in
us.
