HARRINGTON SCORES
MAYOR PRESTON
Calls Mayor Would-Be Dictator And
Predicts His Overthrow.

Hyattsville, Md, Nov. 4.-Gover-
| nor Emerson G. Harrington and W.
| Gwynn Gardiner, commissioner OF
the District of Columbia, were the
principal speakers at big Demo-
cratic rally held here last night. jack
son H. Ralston presided. Governor
Harrington spoke for over an hour,
and declared that the only issue in
the campaign was whether the peo-
pie, irrespective of politics, should
uphold the hands of President Wilson
in his efforts to bring victory to
American arms and end the greatest
conflict in the history of the world.
"It would be a damnable commentary
upon the course of President Wilson
and the administration should the
people of Prince Georges county, in
the very shadow of Americas great
capitol, turn down the Democratic
nominees and elect the Republican
State and county ticket. / do not
believe that the people of Maryland
are going to condemn the President
and his colleagues in this their hour
of trial by defeating the candidates
in whom he cannot but feel interes-
ted"
The Governor paid his respects to
Mayor Preston, of Baltimore, who, he
declared, had entered into a compact
with Republicans to defeat the DEM
ocratic nominees because the plank
in the Democratic platform did not
suit his views On annexation. He said
that Mayor Preston had become a
dictator, and he yehemently declared
that the people of the State would
never stand for his dictatorship. The
Governor declared that it was an in
suit to prospective members of the
Legislature to ask them to vote for
an annexation bill before they had
had an opportunity to find out the
wishes of the people upon the sub
ject.
Commissioner Gardiner referred to
the fact that he was born and reared
On farm in Prince Georges coun-
ty. He believed there should be no
politics in the current campaign, but
that all good Americans should stand
together in upholding the hands of
President Wilson and the admins
traticn. He referred especially to R.
Lee Manning, of Piscataway district,
candidate for county commissioner,
and Charles w. Clagett, candidate
for the House of Delegates, both of
whom were his personal friends.
State Senator William F. Hol-
mead declared that, in his opinion,
the record he made in the last Leg
islature entitled him to reelection,
and promised his support of Legis-
lative enactment that would do away
with the dangerous railway grade
crossing in Hyattsville. Charles W..
Clagett, George w. Waters, of Lau-
rel, candidate for county commits
sioner; Messrs. Nichols and Luzby,
candidates for the House of Dele
gates; Benjamin Ogle, candidate for
sheriff, and Lemuel L. Gray, made
brief talks.

Senior Class Of Hurlock
High School Entertained

A most delightful masquerade par
ty was held Halloween evening a.
the beautiful home of Mr.. and Mrs.
o. w. McWilliams, near Rhodesdale,
when their daughter, Gwendolyn, who
is one of the seniors at the Hurlock
High School, entertained her class
mates and friends. From eight I'm
til after nine O'Clock, automobiles
arrived, loaded with representa-
tives from all quarters of the globe.
Much in evidence also were the Red
Cross nurses, clowns. and even the
German spy managed to gain admit
lance.
The home was artistically decorat-
ed with black and yellow crepe pa
per, autumn leaves, fodder and yell
low corn, with black cats and jack
o-lanterns seemingly everywhere.
while On the lawn bonfires made a
cheerful background. The entire
first and second floors were thrown
open to the guests, with Victrola on
each floor, playing during most OF
the evening. Games of fate and frol-
ic were fully enjoyed by this usually
dignified crowd. What proved to be
an unusual attraction was the punch
bowl in the rear of the hall, which
seemed to never run dry. Delicious
refreshments of ice cream and cakes
were served, and the guests invited to
partake at will OF the bounties of the
dining room, where the table was
heavily laden with huge pumpkins,
filled with varieties of fruits and
candies.
The singing of both old and mod
ern songs, with Miss Ruth Rhodes at
the piano, was a pleasing feature.
The guests departed, each with q
black cat for good luck, after express
ing their appreciation to the hostess.

WORLDS SERIES PLAYERS
Who's Who in Big Diamond Classic
of the Year.

Dave Robertson-McGraw calls
Robertson the best outfielder in the
National league, but as a matter of
fact, Dave isn't in the same class with
his helpers-Burns and Kauff. He
has lots of slugging power and plenty
of speed, but is inclined to take things
too easy. Robertson is clean, steady
fielder, and has the art of taking
drives off the right field wall at the
Polo grounds down to science. Rob-
ertson is a long hitter. but sends most
of his drives to right field, where they
generally are easy prey for canAped
outfielders.
Jim Thorps-The big Indian had a
lot of medals once that he won by
whipping half the world for the
United States in the Olympic games.
He's returned these and he's been
kept mighty busy of late trying to
learn baseball. He does a fine job of
the best of them. but National league
pitching is just naturally too heavy
for this brawny aborlgine, who excels
at everything else. He can't hit in
the big league. 1t is probable he
won't be given much of a chance in
the big series. Thorpe drives the ball
with great power. -
Joe Wilhoit-The lanky pinch hit
ter was a veteran in minor league ex-
perience when George Stallings shared
him from the American association.
He found it hard to hit National
league pitching, altho always a star
batSman in the minors. This year
George turned him over to Pittsburg.
where his services were not needed
they decided. Waivers were asked
and the Giants refused to waive, with
the result that he's in line now for a
cut on the worlds series. He sports
800 average, but is considered far
from being a dangerous batsman. He
is used principally for pinch hitting
Jack Murray-Mainly for senti-
mental reasons Murray probably will
be given at least one inning of work IN
the big games. He's been a National
Lacquer, off and on, for years and
years, and made a great success of it
in his younger days. Murray's eyes
are growing too old for the fast pitch
ing, however, and his job as a pinch
hitter isn't very steady.
Raymond Schalk-He only stands
two-thirds the height of many great
ball players, but rolled into Schalk's
1S5 pounds of compact flesh is the
greatest baseball catching machine
ever put together. SchaIk started way
down to get going big, his first pro-
fessional experience having been with
Tay1orville in the Illinois, Missouri
league. When he was sold to the
AMERICAN dSSocldllOn lney mad big
laugh at his expense because he didn't
measure up to IA standard of catch
ing efficiency-height and Drawn. 1t
couldn't stop him, however, and he
was sold in 1912 to the White Sox for
a price reported to have been $4,000.
He bats left-handed and throws right
handed. He talks mighty fast at
times so is likely to be chief of the
goat-getters when the Sox start after
the easy-straying animals of Heinie
Zimmerman and Buck Herzog.

KNIGHTS WON AGAIN
Brennan Men Defeated Abbott's Elks
by the Score of 4 to 2.

The "Old Bush tactics in the game
between the knight of Columbus ana
the Elks at Western league park
Sunday afternoon availed Spencer Ar
thur Abbott nothing and the Knights
won from his battling Eiks by the
score of to 2, largely thrue the super
ior mound work of Seitz who al
lowed only two hits during the entire
game.
The Elks drew their first blood in
the third inning and their last drop
in the sixth. Their pitcher, Swede
Simpson, held the Knights to goose
eggs until he fourth -0und when
they put across one run. Then, in the
eighth, with three men on bases, EN-
bleau sailed the game away for the
Brennan men when he hit triple
with three men on bases. Navarro,
Wells and Seitz were the individual
stars of the game.
The score: R-H +.

BANK ON CICOTTE
He Will Pitch First Game for
the White SOx.
Perritt or Benton To Open for
the Giants.

New York, Oct. 1.-The statement
made by Clarence Rowland, manager
of the White Sox, that his real pitch
ing staff consisted of two men may
be a prediction that only that many
men will be used by the erstwhile
''busher' in his battle to trim John
McGraw for the worlds champion
ship.
1t is certainly a fact that Eddie
Cicotte will start the first game in
Chicago Saturday, but there is moth
ing certain who will pitch the second
If Cicotte should win, it is probable
Red Faber, another Highlander, will
be sent against the Giants If Cicotte
should lose it is safe to predict that
Reb Russell will get the assignment
taking Rowland at his word, then, it
is equally safe to say that Cicotte will
work the third game, in New York,
and that his successor on the mound
for the fourth game will be the man
who pitched the second game in Chi
cago.
Cicotte Best Bet.
There is a CERTAIN degree of uncer-
tainty in such deductions, for the man
to pitch the second game might take
such a drubbing as to make it certain
he would not come back for the
fourth game. There is no such un-
certainty in the case of Cicotte, how
ever. 1t is almost a foregone conclu-
sion that the veteran Highlander
will pitch a good game, and even If
h. should lose, it is easy to see he
will go back again.
The man who pitches the first game
both for New York and Chicago
will have a chance at the third con-
test, for there will be Sunday and
Monday intervening between the first
and third games.
John McGraw's statement that
Slim Sallee will open ror him must be
taken at its face value.
Sallee Is Feared.
Rowland and his men believe Sallee
will give them the toughest opposi-
ton. However the Sox have been
successful against south paws of Sal
lees disposition, while right handlers
of the Perritt type have been reason
ably successful against the new
American league champions. In New
York there is a feeling that Perritt
or RUDE Benton will open the series.
with the other of the pair to pitch
the second game. 1t is not seriously
believed that Ferd Schupp will start a
game until the home crowd is roofing

There is a chance that both the
Sox and Giants will enter the big

Weaver and Herzog are very liable

Weaver's batting strength is added to

better on the offensive than they
