Pitching Is Good.
With the exception OF the third
game Of the series the pitching has
been excellent. Johnny MUlcahy and
Suddarth started in this game and did
very poorly. Suddarth was retired in
the sixth inning when II seemed that
every ball that he served Up was
being hit for extra bases. while
Mulcahy should have been relieved
IN the first when four runs were
pounded off his delivery. Mulcahy has

NO EXEMPTIONS
FOR POLICEMEN

NEW YORK, Aug. 27-Policemen
and firemen. eligible to draft, will not
be excused from military service, &C
cording to communication received
from Provost Marshal General Crowder
by Police Commissioner Woods.
Recently Governor Whitman, at the
request OF Commissioner Woods, wrote
the secretary of war requesting that
In cities where the population is two
million and upwards. firemen and
police should be exempted from serv-
ice.
The provost marshal@general says
in his letter he took the matter up
with Secretary Baker anc the conclus-
ion reached was that it would be un-
fair to the smaller cities to exempt
firement and police in the bigger ones
The same condition, he said, applies
to the fire department If police and
firemen were exempted, the provost
marshal general added, medical stu
dents and others probab bly, would make
claims for exemption on the ground
that they are saviors of life and limb.

With Heavy Debris

ON THE FRENCH FRONT IN
FRANCE, Aug. 27.-(By the Associat-
ed Press)-While the soldiers of the
active army are engaged all along the
front attacking the Germans Or de-
Tending the French positions against
the frequent assaults of selected Ger
man shock troops, their poor rela-
tions" composing the troops of the
second line are kept busy removing
traces of the destruction which mark
ed the retreat Of the Germans in
March before the advancing French
and British.
Dozens Of bridges over rivers and
canals as well as many locks which
held back the waters of the canals,
were blown up by the Germans as
they hurriedly retired.
In many instances the reaches of
the canals have run dry. while the
courses of the rivers have been
blocked by large masses of steel, rein
forced concrete and stone which, if
not removed would cause the whole
surrounding country to be flooded in
rainy weather or in case Of frost, thus
rendering impossible the digging of
trenches or the occupation of import
ant positions.

TWO INJURED IN
AUTO SMASH-UP

EATON, O., Aug. 27.-In an auto
mobile accident which occurred Sun
day morning near the home of Pat Nc
Kelligan, two miles west Of here, Mrs.
Ed Eikenberry, sustained a fractured
skull and broken left collar bone. Her
grandson, Roy Huffman, 10, suffered a
broken left arm. Both patients were
attended by DR.. J. I. Nesbit and later
sent to Reid Memorial hospital, Rich
mond. Ind Mrs. Eikenberry's con-
dition is reported to be improving.
The accident occurred when the
automobile, driven by Mr.. Eikenberry,
ran into a buggy occupied by Mrs. Ira
Guckian and son. Eikenberry swerved
the machine to avoid striking the
buggy, and when the collision occurred
the machine was upset. Occupants Of
the buggy escaped injury.
