ROSIE RUNS AWAY
Portland Girl Seeks Job
in the Mountains

Portland. Me. July 2o-Rosie. the
l4-year-old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Linwood A. Pearson Of 3e Brattle
street, disappeared suddenly from her
nome yesterday and has not since
Deen seen. She has been heard from,
however, writing her mother a letter
stating that she has gone to the
mountains and has work taking care
OF a baby. She asks her mother not
worry about her, and adds that she
Will write her and keep her informed
where she is. The letter was mailed
here in Portland and was received on
the morning delivery. 1t reads:
Dear Ma:
l have got a good job in the Noun
tains taking care Of a baby. / didn't
have time to tell You SO thought l
would drop you line to let you know
where l was.
ROSIE.
The mother Of the girl stated to the
police that her daughter had talked for
some time Of wanting to get work in
tho mountains. Although IA years old,
she Is large for her age and might
easily be taken for two years older
than that. She left home yesterday
morning without making any state
ment as to what she intended to do,
and made no reference to going away.
Since the child left, the mother has
recalled her saying that she wanted to
get work in the mountains. This and
the statement in the letter may be only
a blind for some other plan she had
for disappearing. The fact that the
letter was mailed here in Portland
and that in 1t she stated that she had
a Sob" might be taken to indicate
this.
When she went away Rosie wore a
blue middle blouse with white collar,
a light striped plaid skirt. black lace
shoes. and had no hat She wore
mans fore-i hand tie Of red and
green.

The havoc they are causing in bagged

many rural districts awaiting possible
shipment to oversee markets Is fast
becoming a question Of grave national
import. The farmers are faced with
huge losses and are beginning to ask

Is said that only those living in the in

OF the boldness, prevalence and de-
structiveness Of the rodents. Some
idea Of the visitation may be gained
from the fact that at small place
named Sheep Hills in Victoria a few
weeks ago seven tons Of mice were
killed without any apparent diminu-
ton in their number. Farm houses
swarm with them and hardly anything

BOSTON TEAMS BIG
AID TO UNCLE SAM

New York, Aug. 29.-Ernie Shore,
no-hit artist OF the Red Sox, who re-
Gently gave his services to the navy,
added just one more to the contribu-
tions baseball is making to the ma
tional fighting forces from Boston.
Following the lead of Hank Gowdy,
star catcher of the Braves, when he
enlisted in the Ohio National Guard,
Rabbit Maranville said he would en-
ter the navy, and other members of
the National League club are said to
be ready to take the plunge.
Chick Shorten and Jack Barry are
enrolled in the navy. Shorten as a yoe-
man and Barry in the Reserve. Others
are contemplating the step.
Baseball is giving its young men
without a murmur. Leon Cadore, the
brilliant young pitcher of the Dodgers,
was examined and accepted a short
time ago for the national army. He
only smiled and said he was ready.
His spirit, while not typical entirely,
depicts the general feeling of ball play
ers toward service. They have been
taking it all very seriously, and the
younger ones have expressed a will
ingness to begin service at once.
The draft is going to be along in
time to hit the worlds series pretty
hard. 1t doesn't seem probable that
the government would allow the play
ers 1t takes to remain at their work
until the seasons are over. In fact,
Ban Johnson, president of the Ameri-
can League. and John X. Tener, pres
ident of the National League, have
declared on more than one occasion
that baseball neither expects nor
wants fayors Of that sort

White Sox Send Scout
To Spy on the Giants

New York, Aug. 9.-Apparently
Clarence Rowland has no doubt that
his White Sox will grapple with the
Giants in the October baseball classic
Word comes from the Polo Grounds
that Ted" Sullivan, a White Sox
scout, has been in New York to get a
line on them.
Yesterday Sullivan was observed in
an obscure seat behind the plate
watching for the batting weaknesses
of the stars on McGraw's roster. 1t
is said he admitted he had been there
week. and it is reported also that
when he was discovered Sullivan said
he was beginning to have his doubts
whether he was in the right place or
not. He said he was inclined to the
opinion that Philadelphia was the
proper place for him to observe the
worlds series oponents Of the Row
land clan.
It may be expected now that GER
tain wise New Yorkers will explain
the recent defeats of the Giants at
the hands Of Western clubs by say
ing McGraw knew of Sullivan's pres
ence. and did not wish to expose his
clubs strength and weakness.

bert continued. 1--WE want something
elaborate for the ballet"
The midday procession was filing
up through the narrow staircases of
the downtown subway stairs at Full
ton street. The subway customers
plodded on up with that rather aim
less herding sense which characterizes
humans on such stairs. Suddenly
there was a humping halt all down
the plodding line.
A New Jersey boil weevil with a
wide Panama hat and a narrow Palm
Beach suit had stopped at the head
of the stairs to pet a kitten. He
was the sort of citizen who lives
in Kittamitunck or some of those
other Jersey hives with the wild
Indian names. He was not executed
because those nearest him were wom-
en-.
Hey" called a petulant voice half
way down the stairs, what's the
matter up there?"
"A guy" answered the voice of
some on who could peek through the
blockade, "is pettin' a cat; kin y beat
it?"
Whereupon the women and children
realizing that action impended,
squeezed out on each side and the
suburban wonder accompanied by the
cat was given a splendid start toward
his home.
