 Aren't there any baseball fans in Chicago's police force? Dhey ar rested a man and had him examined for insanity because he was shouting on the streets that the Giants would beat the White Sox in the world's s series. Later details who show that the man was dressed Tn a blue and white suit, a red shirt. cream colored hat and suede shoes. So they didn't need to examine him to prove he was nuts
 Someone writes that Ed Walsh, the handsomest pitcher in baseball, is having a tough time coming back with the Braves, because the batters are not up there to flirt.
 Manager Danny Murphy of the New Haven Eastern league champions, prediYs that the White Sox will win the worlds series. "
 Some New York writers say the fans in the metropolis win raise a howl if the worlds series prices are higher at the Polo Grounds than in Chicago. President Johnson of the American league has announced that prices at the White Sox park will be no more than double the regular sea son rates, which means that there will be no charging of $5 for seat in the stand The rates for the series will be fixed at a meeting Of the Ma tional Commission in, Cincinnati to- day.

.er IN any measures which he deems

percentage Of refusals.
This work is being done by GO school
girls, the town being divided into dis
tricts, and they took up the work
with remarkable spirit of enthusiasm.
Every house i'll Brattleboro is to be
eanvassed before nightfall.
In other sections of the county. state
and nation the big campaign will open
Monday and continue all of next week.

TO devote to it. Out of 297 families
from whom returns had been made
there were only nine who refused IA

good average
