Special to Times-Republican
Clinton, July 7-Marshalltown took
the first game of the series here from
Clinton Friday afternoon by the score
of to l. Harder hitting by the An
sons resulted in the surplus runs. the
Pilots appearing unable to pound the
apple with sufficient force at the most
critical moments.
Payne pitched good game, holding
the home team to seven hits without
allowing single base on balls and
striking out four. Tomlin struck out
eight men, but walked four, and was
hit harder by the visitors. a.
The visitors lined up their runs one
by one. In the first, after Clemens had
gone down at first, Murphy knocked
single. was followed by Eunicks
single, and stole home when the third
baseman was put out while attempting
to steal second. The Pilots protested
loudly against the decision claiming
that Eunick had interfered with the
prompt throw of the ball from second
10 the home plate, thus allowing Muir
ply to score.
Lee Hits Home Run.
Lees home run was the only score
in the second, as he was first man up,
the next three men going out in quick
succession. The third run was brought
in in the fifth. and at least two addi-
tional runs were narrowly prevented
by the Pilots. the decisions being eX-
ceedingly close.
Tomlin had walked Agnew when

the race at second. Payne advanced
on Clemens walk and scored on Muir

tempted 10 reach home but Miller had
the ball in from right field too soon,
Brown mailing the runner before ne
reached home.
While Brown threw the ball 10 the
pitchers box, which was vacant, Tom
lin not having returned from third
where he had gone on guard, Murphy
slipped up to third almost unbeknown
to the Pilots.
Fails to Touch Plate.
Murphy then attempted TO come in
on a passed ball. Brown returned the
| ball to Tomlin who had rushed up TO
| the home plate to choke off the run.
but apparently too late. Brown, quick
as flash. picked up the ball which
Tomlin had dropped and, following

him out. deciding that he had not

! fourth they had three men on bases

ever, was halted by Payne. On this
play Sears was put out at home and
Brown AT first.
The lone run Of the home team was
put over in the ninth. Sears led off
with single and was followed by
Milers tWo-base hit. Sears scored,
but Miller went down at third at

nit encouraged by the coaching. The
next two men failed to reach, first.

GET THE LAWBREAKERS.

BY swooping down on the offices of
the I. W. w. yesterday the special
agents of the Department of Justice
nipped in the bud movement that
might have been disastrous to the ma
ton had it run it's full gamut. The plan
of these pernicious busy bodies was to
torment a nationwide strike that
would have paralyzed work at the
army cantonments, particularly in the
middle and far West Because the
first quotas of the new National Army
were started to cantonments through
out the United States yesterday the
government took that occasion to
squelch the I. w. w.

as champions of the working man.
They have mislead the ignorant and
the weak minded, exercised a dire in
fluence over those of fiabby will, and
succeeded in enlisting to their side
the natural enemies Of law and order,
the opponents to organized society.
1t is to be hoped that the evidence
seized by the Department of Justice
officials in their raid of I. w. w, head
quarters in various parts of the coun-
try will have tendency to open the
eyes of those who have been fooled by
these law breakers So long as this

Freedom, of the Seas.

Freedom of the seas means ono
thing in time Of peace ad something
entirely different when great nations
70 to war, The subject was discussed
and agreements were adopted at The
Hague conference of 1907; and there
was further discussion at the naval
conference of 1909 In London. but no
agreement 1t was conceded then that
completS freedom OF the seas In peace
existed, and all the discussion was d.
rected to provision for war. 1t Is in
teresting to note what the Germans
attitude on such freedom was.
Germany claimed the right to make
the seas perilous alike to neutrals and
her enemies, doubtless having the
overwhelming British merchant ma
rine in mtnd), by the indiscriminate
use Of Mines This was opposed by
Great Britain and the United States.
She also claimed that the more opin-
ion of the commander of a. war vessel
should be sufficient to decide on the
destruction or seizure of neutral YES
sci, without the appeal of judicial tri-
bunals, which others represented at
the London conference considered In
dispensable. It was to Germany
merely a question If any part of the
cargo consisted of what she was
pleased to designate as contraband.
But that naval war in which she
would be outnumbered was in the
minds Of the German negotiators was
shown clearly when they were ready
to place belltgerent vessels in the same
class with neutrals ana 10 forbid de-

But in her disinterested efforts ia

proposals, any belligerent merchants

and wage war upon enemy or neutral

This Is the German doctrine Of free

are similar to those of outposts.
Scouting.
One of the most responsible duties
to which a soldier may be assigned
is patrolling or scouting. An Infan-
try patrol usually consists of from
to 16 men. It is sent out for the pur-
pose Of obtaining information as to
the enemy, his numbers, and the ma
ture of the country over which the
patrol travels It is not usually in
tended that the patrol should fight,
since it's prime purpose is to obtain
and bring back information. How

know how to use a compass; should

should be able to travel across coun-

by day and by night, and by observ-
ing landmarks he should be able to
return to the starting point whether
over the same route or by moro cir
cuitous one. This can easily be
learned by a little practice. 1t adds

said to indicate that any man has
much to learn before he can be

There are loyal hearts, there are

There are souls that are pure and
Then give to the world the best you

And the best will come back to

Give love, and love to your life will
flow,
A strength in your utmost need;
Have faith and a score of hearts will

Their faith in your word and deed.
Give truth and your gift will be in

And honor will honor meet;
And smile that is sweet will early

A smile that>is just as sweet.
For life is the mirror Of king and
