The Highlanders stumbled tack In
second place by defeating the Growers
by tune of Z to g..
Burdette, the local giant pitcher,
was on the firing line and held the
visitors well in check. Drake, who
was opposing him, was hit freely, be-
ing touched up for nine hits, which
generally were delivered with men
on bases. Morris helped himself
with a triple, scoring the first run Of
the game and Thrasher certainly was
there with his war club, hitting the
old pill every time up to the bat. get
ting four hits out of four times up.
That is sure fattening his batting
average and let me tell you right
here that this was no accident by
any means for the way this boy has
been hitting all along Ia enough to
throw scare into most any pitcher
and will be the means of breaking up
maik game. Thrasher featured in
hitting but Poland also stepped in the
limelight by making sensational
one-handed catch of Vaughn's ter
rife drive to right field fence. The
big fellow after getting back as far
as time allowed him. reached up and
speared the pill which threatened to
hit shine In the eye who was look
ing through a knot hole in tho fence
After making this catch the big fell
low felt so elated over it that he
turned a complete summersault but
managed to hold on to the ball. Co.
hen was back in the game playing his
regular position due to Riva's injury
and the boy certainly played splen-
did game, for there seems to be some
real pep in the inield when he is
around. What surprised us was the
way he was hitting the old apple and
let us hope that he will be able to
continue hitting as he did in yester-
days game, although he got only one
hit to his credit he showed a wonder
full Improvement. for he hit the ball
hard each time at bat.

reau chiefs Of the department held a
get-together meeting on enforcement
of the prohibition laws.
H. NJ. Mayer. acting chief revenue
agent. declared many stills had been
located through information gained
from the air observers.
Private Stills Multiply.
The government anticipates an i'm
mense increase in the number of pri-
vate stills when families begin to
manufacture Their own liquor. It was
pointed out that this homemade booze,
il made in a still, will make every
offending householder liable to a peni-
tentiary sentence. and the government
will rely upon the newspapers to edu-
cate the public to suppress the illegal
manufacture.
Last month, said Mr.. Mager, fifteen
stills were found in New York and
ten iu Chicago. In all 400 stills were
found throughout the country, and
200 gallons of spirits.
