Illuminating to Pay Ransom.

1t may be humiliating to have to pay
$4,000 for the ransom of two American
aviators captured by bandits on the
Mexican frontier, but the bill, if the
ransom is paid, goes to the Carranza
government, and it is fair to remember
that brigands have made trouble in old
er and more civilized countries than
Mexico. 1t has been necessary in mod
ern times to pay large sums for the ran
som of foreigners held in the mountains
of Italy, Greece, Spain and other regions
where unsettled conditions had made inn
possible the maintenance of perfect or
der, and while in some cases there were
diplomatic complications, it has general
ly been recognized that brigandage is
hard thing to deal with. In 1906 the
British government had to pay 100000
for the release of Sir Harry Maclean
a prisoner of the bandit, Raisuli, who
is still as troublesome as Villa. When
brigands are captured they get and de.
serve little mercy, but when they have
victim in their power ransom may be
necessary; no military power could res
cue the captive. As Secretary. Baker
tells Senate committee, the region
where the lost aviators were captured is
void and sparsely settled" Under such
conditions banditti have great adyan-
tage.-Springfeld Republican.

that it would be a pleasanter place to
live in if its yehiculGr voices were not

M0RETOWN
Moretown and MorrisviIle in Tie Game

Q to 2.
The largest crowd that has ever as
sembled to witness a game in Moretown
saw an exhibition of the grand old game
that has not been seen in these parts
since the days of the old B. A. c. and
|. A. G. team. Morrisville having won
che first game by the score of to 3,
came full of confidence, but received a
setback in the last frame, when More
town brought in two tallies, tying the
score.
The game was very fast and with few
errors Fast fielding by both teams and
excellent pitching by Newton and Duba
were enough to keep the fans full of
pep" Up to the third frame, neither
side had been able to tally, for both
pitchers had something on the ball
and used it when they found themselves
in bad holes. However, in the fourth
Morrisvile pushed one across. Churchill
hit high one to Griffith, who misjudged
the ball, Churchill going to second on
the play and trying TO make third. In
the endeavor to catch him, he was hit
in the back, the ball going into the
crowd, thus enabling him to tally Their
second tally came in the seventh. Gran
al, having relieved Duba in the fifth,
found himself in bad hole when two
infeld errors enabled the visitors to get
life. Next, two men struck out, but
Granai was unable to find the plate, SO
two men got free tickets, forcing in a
tally
Things looked bad for Moretown,
which had been unable to tally until the
seventh frame. Then that never die pep"
came back, when Bisbee singled, Fielders
walked, Newton struck out, and so did
Flynn. Things looked bad, but Ward
came across with terrific single into
right, scoring Bisbee, the ball being re-
layed from right field TO pitcher. The
pitcher did not try TO cut off the first
runner, but endeavored to run down
Ward, who seemed to be trapped.
In the meantime, while they were
playing for Ward, Fielders was on his
way home. Ward made peach of a
slide under the first baseman and the lat
ter missed him by as much as foot
and half, but the visiting umpire called
him out.
Then debate was started, the visit
ing umpire maintaining that Ward was
out and Wilcox, umpire in-chief, ruled
the man safe, and he was safe, for some
Of the visiting team players admitted it.
The fact that the first baseman made
another attempt to tag Ward again,
when he was on the base, convinced
neutrals and all that he was safe The
umpire endeavored to call back the Wis
iting team, which had left the field but
some would not return. Those who re-
fused were some select men that Morris
vile had picked for this game, but the
real Morrisvlle players were true sports
and would have finished the game had
they had enough players.
Through The Times, we wish TO ex-
press our appreciation of the true sports
manship of the "Morrisville boys"
The visiting players refused to return
to the field, and Umpire Wilcox called
the game tie. The game will be re-
played at Intercity park Saturday, Aug.
30, and another royal battle will be
fought. These two teams are very even
~ matched.
Ward of Moretown featured with the
stick for the day, connecting with a
double and single out Of three trips to
the plate.
