Middletown, B; New Castle Reserves,
o. The first game of the season resulted
in a victory There's going TO be lot
more games end in the same manner.
Saturdays hero-Lefty Finn. lie held
the New Castle bunch to two hits and
won his own game by scoring the run
that decided the game. Besides securing
the first hit of the 1917 season here, he
scored the first run.
Manager segelken has developed his
wrecking crew into better batting
combination than ever before. Every
time one of the men hit the ball il was
good solid crack. Such hitting is
enough to worry any pitcher.
Percy Wallace and Carson Segelken
both went hitless. Such luck can't last
long. aud the two heavy hitters are
due 90 find their batting eyes soon.
How's this for a Wild West story
Lefty Firms arm and aim were as true
as &C any time in his career. As fast
MS the New Castle boys could take their
places at the bat the idol Of the Middle
town fans sent them Keeling in terror

smack his speed balls sounded in Seq
gie's mitt, and each time an enemy bit

Goslin pitched mighty good game
for the New Castle boys. The locals
could only secure Z hits from his deliv-
cry, no man getting more than one safe
blow.
Young McDevtt secured both hits
that were credited 20 the New Castle
nine However when Finn went out
/ after scalps, McDevitt couldn't even
/ find his twisters. This was proven In
/ the ninth. when Lefty struck out the
heavy batter on three pitched balls.
Somebody said that Finn was golnl

BY Its New Name May
1t Stand AS Staunchly
For the Cause of Woman

A new weekly paper has come into
existence which compares favorably
with any of the weeklies we know, and
It is called 'The Woman Citizen. out
growth Of the old "Woman's Journal"
which has so staunchly upheld the cause
of woman for so many weary years.
The "Woman's Journal" was started
when the subject of equal suffrage was
SO unpopular that to espouse it meant
social ostracism.
Suffragists were subjected to insult
ing ridicule or else were condescendingly
pitied as are persons mentally irrespon-
sible.
A courageous woman, Lucy Stone, and
her husband. still more courageous, per-
haps, and Henry B. Blackwell built up
little paper. using their time, brains,
