UMPIRE AND PAUL
KRICHELL LEADING
FIGURES IN GAME
(By Wagner.)


There was quite battle between
Umpire McGauley and Manager
ISriehell for the center of the stage
yesterday when Bridgeport and
Springfield engAgedsih a seething con-
test at Newfield, park The umpire
was master of the scene at the finish
for he got jealous of Krichell in the
seventh inning and sent the manager
to the blockhouse.
The various exploits of Krichell in
cluded:
/. Energetic throw toward third
base which, landed in left field and let
In two ENnsDnsl 5Gt 10 vSni 81
.. Running down two men between
third and home.
8. Trying to take four strikes and
almost getting away with II.
A.. Taking three swings on wide
pitches when Bill Powers was trying
to pass him.
~ S. Sent to the calaboose in the sew
i enth for merely remarking that they
ought to warm up another umpire.
The umpire came through with the
following:
J.. Speaking harshly to Bill Powers
because the Springfield pitcher threw
his hat in the air when McGauley
missed a strike.
2. Leading figure in mob scene
when he lost track of fouls made by
1 Krichell and was going to let man
ager take fourth swing. Rescued
from plight by appealing to official
scorer.
8. Pulled watch on Kriche1l in sew
enth and braved jeers of multitude
while he blotted manager from the
picture.
The big Sunday crowd had an en-
joyable afternoon grooming and
cheering as the fortunes of the game
I varied. That ancient enemy, Bill

Gals who beat Springfield to g. Guy

wall in the fourth but there was Lo-

The fence has been moved>in since
last season, but even at that it was
remarkably long drive. The ball was
never driven over the old right field

young giant has plenty of stuff but
in previous games he had one bad
inning Yesterday he breezed along
fine, tanning eight and holding the
slugging visitors to four hits.
Corcoran led the locals at bat with
three singles while linn and Lear
had two each. The fielding of Lear
and Martin was Spectacular at times.

Inns are leading the league and the
locals will find it difficult to down
them. Dug Smith or Dessau will get
the pitching assignment.
Corcoran is already one Of the
most popular players on the Bridge
port club. The veteran appears to
have found his natural place in right
field. He slammed Bill Powers for
three singles yesterday, two of which
figured in the scoring.
Doc Durgin, the Springfield first
baseman, lived up to his reputation
as one of the best clouters in the lea
que. After he graduated from
Brown university Durgin was given
brief trial by the Pirates and then
went to the International league.
It looks as if Holy Cross would be
able to claim the college baseball til
tie. : The Worcester boys have won
ten straight games this season. Five
major league clubs are after Joe Du-
gan, the second baseman but he says
he will finish his course before think

Jimmy Stephens, the old time st.

the Green Sox last year and did good
but was late in reporting this season.

TheChr;;s fy1aas Bird

- OASTED swan was the Christmas
~ piece de resistance in Chaucer's
day, but this dish gave place to
The peacock, and the peacock in it's
urn was conquered by the turkey,
when Capt. John Smith, fresh from
his Firginian wars, came home to tell
The amazed English folk Of the bird
that he saw parading the new world
forests, Exactly like a proud Turk
showing off before his harem."
When the peacock was in it's glory
1t Christmastide it's plumage was gen
orally restored to the roasted bird and
is beall gilded. Sometimes the whole
bird was covered with gold leaf and
strip Of cotton, saturated with spirit,
set alight in its beak--a relic possibly,
with tie English snapdragon and
blazing pudding, of the fire worship of
pagan days. A lady Of noble birth and
great beauty was always chosen to
bear the bird into the banqueting hall.
In the days of tournaments it was
over the peacock that the knights, with
uplifted swords, sWore their oatIls of
chivalry and valor. The last record of
such fare seems to have been not upon
Christmas, but at the banquet given
By the duke Of Granada. to the duke

the rate for light and power printed
by the state railroad commission.
There are probably two or three cities
with either private or municipal own
ership where a distinction is not made
between the buyer Of wholesale cur
rent and the consumer whose light bill
is small and where the expense of
reading the meter and bookkeeping is
just as great as for the one who uses
ten times the current When man
says that the council in this matter,
is not looking after the small consum-
er he simply utters a falsehoOd. The
three cent rate is direct benefit to
the man who has say one or two lights
lower rate is the one paid by the shoe
maker who works by his light to a late
hour. The man with fifty lights who
burns them only for a few hours is not
the man benefited. The public we be-
lieve fully appreciates this fact. Had
interest and an easy way out there
was nothing to prevent the council
from saying to the Ladysmith Light
ing company, when the slightly re-
duced rates weer presented by Mr..
Myers, to go ahead and the council
would drop the whole question of mu-
nicipaI ownership.
Benefit of the People
'trhe city council is i'll this for the
benefit of the city and the city only.
1t does not believe that it is good bus
mess policy on the part of the city to
have the municipality Of Ladysmith
hampeled by lighting and power
plant that is not III harmony with the
development and rapid growth now so
apparent, when SO much depends in
these days of electrically operated ma
chinery on such /; plant and it does
believe absolutely, that municipal
ownership will greatly reduce the
light and power bills of the consumer
big and little, and place the city in a
position Of deciding for itself as to new
enterprises, and not be Oh the mercy of
someone in Chicago, alien to the city's
interests except as they concern the
private profiteering Of the plant or

The city council accepts the cllal-
lenge that it is in the trenches fighting

Arfayed on the other side are the Kai-

question to the final, unalfswerable de-
cision of the ballot of the people,

ReUivirag Old Z Tine
YuLe Customs

CPECIAL efforts are being made by
women in many communities to
spread q revival of the old Gus
toms regarding Christmas. Some years
ago a Boston woman with touch of
antiquarian spirit managed to stimu-
late Boston to revive a pretty Yule-
tide custom by celebrating its coming
by singing carols in the streets and by
Illuminating the houses through the
placing of candles in the windows.
Other cities emulated Boston in this
matter. In Carlisle, Pa, a community
Christmas tree was lighted in the pub
lie square, and it's glowing joy was
continued all along the streets by light
ed candles placed in the windows,
many of which showed in the middle
Of the rooms so lighted up, displayed
to the passersby in the night, private
Christmas trees, the glitter and beauty
of which thus were shared with all.
An objection to this attempt at glad
ness-at least so far as concerns the
use of candles-has been the risk of
fire. But these days of electricity or
even of gas seem to minimize the idea
of danger, and there are different de-
vices that may be applied to do away
with all risk in the carrying out of
the friendly suggestion. It is advised
therefore that ''the gladness and
brightness Of the home on Christmas
eve be not kept behind closed blinds"
and to that end it is suggested that the
light from every window, whatever it's
nature, be permitted to shine into the
streets until midnight. The idea of
light is associated with all that is good
in life. The glow Of the cracking Yule
log betokened the hospitality ready to
greet the stranger at that time, but
there was more to it than that. Light
In days gone by was supposed to keep
off evil spirits.-Sallie Wistar in Phila-
1eIphia Public Ledger.

a rare treat. Mr.. Stephen Bolles gave
his lecture on the Fourth Estate or

turer traced the development of print
ing. and showed how a modern news
paper is made. 1t was intensely inter-
esting and instructive. The preSenta-
