I The Black Cats added another vic
tory to its string in the baseball
game on their field Saturday. The
score was 10 5. and Wnhamstown
was the opposing team With Remil-
lard in the box for the visitors and
Prindle and Keefe in their lineup, il
looked like a sure win for them dur
ing the first half OF the game. But
in the fifth inning three errors by the
visitors sandwiched among base on
balls to Miner and good hits by
Morrissey and Mahar. netted the To-
Gals five runs; and the latter were
not headed after that. Bevis pitched
a steady game. keeping his opponents
eleven hits weli scattered. Remil-
lard had great speed and but four
safeties were made off him, all Of
them counting in the run making
though. Prindle showed speed on
the bases, quickly getting home on
the only time he reached first,s keefe
had a bad day at third, but he made
one of the longest drives seen on the
ground this season, bat on trying to
stretch II TO a home run was thrown
out at the plate. The all-around work
Of Miner and Morrissey featured.
Mahar's two-bagger when the bases
were full was big factor in win
ming the game.

George Washington, in his farewell
address, cautioned us to beware of
factions and parties who proposed
changes therein.
He said:
THE bases OF our political systems
is the right of the people to make and
to alter their constitutions of Govern

London, Aug. 19.-Gradually the

Field Marshal Haig's forces have

10 the eastward where he will be

big guns that for several weeks have
been firing criss-cross over the en-
tire salient working havoc against
the defenders of the insecure line.
Likewise the Germans are being
given no rest by the Franco-British
forces north and south of the Somme,
and the French and Americans along
the Nesle and the Americans in Lor-
raine also are harassinb them by ar
tillery fire and local actions. No

Bailleul and Vieux Burcion on the
Lys sectors the British have forced
back the Germans to a depth ranging
from 1000 to 1000 yards, taking in

the south along the Lys river near
Moeville the British also have ad.

Germans have been relieved under
