Shafer muffed Gerdes' drive and af-
ter that two other misplays were
recorded against the West End con-
tingent. But one misplay was scored
against Marysville, an error being
recorded against Hippensteel when
he dropped a third strike and allow
ed man to get to third.
Sensational Fielding
Sensational fielding marked the
contest. Monk" Gerdes, whose hit
drove in Marysville's inning run,
likewise featured in the field. Five
chances, several of them of an es-
pecially difficult variety, were field
ed faultlessly by the clever short
stop.
Tim Euker. West Ends center
fielder brought down the crowd on
two occasions by spearing drives
which appeared to be labeled for
hits and which would have meant
more Marysville runs. In the eighth
he caught high fly off Rutter's bat
in deep left center and in the ninth
he made a spectacular catch off
Biever's fly, just over the infield.
Joe Lightner. Marysville's hard
hitting center fielder who had not
been hitting the ball in the series,
apparently recovered his batting eye
yesterday and drove out two of
Marysville's five hits. "Bill' Shafer,
West Ends hard working third
sacker, secured three of the up
town contingent's five hits.
Prior to the start of the game,
Marysville was presented with a sill

they were pitching to him, though
not all of George Herman's four

Some baseball editors have been
besieged with queries as to how
many times Ruth has been purposely
walked this year, the answer being
easy, because mighty few of the
gifts he has received came to him
because of lack of aim on the part
of the artillerists.
1t can be put down as a positive
certainty that seventy of the bases

seventh. but was anchored on the
keystone sack when Palmer famed

passed by Biever and but five hits
were collected off his delivery.
Stricken pitched sterling game
for West End. But five bingles were
made off his delivery, two of these
being punched in the eighth when
the single Marysville tally was scor-
ed. He was not quite as steady as
Biever and issued one pass, the
fourth of the series, to Chick" Rut-

POINTERS FOR GOOD ROADS
Good roads mean higher land val


Good roads mean higher land val,

Land owners should lead the road

Good roads save time in hauling

Hauling costs are lowered BY
good roads because the size of the

We can live but once. Why not

and good roads make all distances
short.
Town pleasures and country
pleasures are only a stones throw
if joined by good roads.
The country boys and girls are
less likely to leave the farm if good
roads bring the neighbors nearer.
Bad roads are a detriment to the
farmer, but they are worse for the
farmers wife.
Well kept roads mean better

school facilities as our town chill
rem enjoy.
The doctor has better chance to
save lives if good roads shorten the

Profit, pleasure, and public spirit

Protect the Fuel Line

1t often happens that the fuel line
rests against some more or less
sharp edge of the chassis. The vi
bration inevitable when the car is
in motion causes slight rubbing,
which in time wears the piping
through and leak results. 4 break
of this kind may be repaired by
wrapping the pipe with soft wire for
a couple of inches on each side Of
the leak and then timing the whole
over with solder. This not only
cures the leak, but prevents further
chatting.

Tank Plug.

An emergency plug to fit the filler
hole of the gasolene tank may be
made from a piece of solid rubber,
a little smaller than the filler hole
itself. Through the center Of this
rubber a hole is cut and a bolt is
inserted with the nut end up. When
the nut is frightened the rubber is ex-
banded, effectually plugging the
hole. If the fuel system is gravity
or vacuum a hole must be bored
through the nut to admit little air,
but with the pressure system there
must be no hole.
