Marysville-W End series show
but six players of both teams hitting
above the 200 mark. Four men
have averages above 800, while two
Men are between 400 and 800, but
these latter two men alternated on
the field.
Merle Gerdes, Marysville's star
shortstop. who featured both in the
field and at the bat in the series.
Cracking out seven hits, two of them
triples, in eighteen times at bat,
Gerdes has an average of .SS9.
Chick" Rutter, Marysville's third
sacker is in second place with an
average of 1854. He collected a to-
tai of four hits in the five games of
the series. but is credited with but
eleven times at bat. Moore, Marys
ville's second sacker, and Shafer,
who covered third for West End, fol-
low with averages of .3S3. Wagner
and Embick, who alternated in right
field for West End, are the men in
the 200 class.
Pitchers Good
The work of the pitchers predom-
mated throughout the series and
there was little heavy hitting. Marys-
Vile had slight edge on the series
in batting with an average of .172
Both teams had 25 hits in the five
games, but Marysville had fewer
\times at bat recorded against them.
OF the 25 hits of Marysville, two
were for two sacks and two for
triples. West End had two doubles
and triple.
West End. however. had the edge
in fielding. hanging up an average
of .971 as compared with .957 for
Maryville. The uptowners are cred
tied with but six errors as COM
pared to Marysville's eight. Marys-
VILE had errors in every game, hut
West End played two errorless
games. The eleven-inning tie was
without a West End misplay and
the second game was we'll nigh over
when Stricken fooled a foul ball off
Rutters bat. Again in the third
contest, West End played errorless
ball.
"Bin" Euker Good Boy
Bill Euker, West End shortstop,
has credit of leading the two teams
in the field. 'Leger" Stees, Marys-
willie left fielder follows close, hav-
ing had a number of sensational

Biever, Marysville's veteran tosSer,
| had a slight edge on Stricken, the
West End star, in the five games.
An equal number of hits was re-
corded off the delivery of each, al
though by reason of difference in
times at bat, Biever had the better
record. In strikeouts, he had the
edge on Stricken, tanning 49 men
as compared to AZ for Stricken.
Again. Biever was steadier through
out the series and walked hut
single batsman, the first man up in
the first inning of the first game.
Stricken issued five passes, all of
them going to "Chick" Rutter,
Marysville's third sacker.
In base stealing, Marysville again
had the edge on West End, pilfer-
ing nine sacks as compared to eight
Moore, of Marysville, lead with three
each. Bill Euker. McCord and
Tim" Euker, of West End, follow
with two each. Six of the West End
thefts came in the first game, but
after that uptown runners were able
to take few liberties on Hippensteeis
arm.
Good Sacrificing
Marysville brought the sacrifice
play into use WIN greater frequency
than any other team. Six times
the 'cross-river players used this
method of advancing the runner,
Moore laying down bunts three times
while Rutter had one sacrifice hit
and one sacrifice fly.
Every player in the series against
whom a time at bat has been re-
corded, with the exception of Gerdes,
has been famed by the opposing
batsmen. Bill" Shafer, West End

men of each team were left anchored
by their team mates. West End had
ten men to die in the first game as
compared to Marysville's three. In
the next two games, things were
even, but in the two final games,
Marysville had more men left on
base. The figures follow:

Clean Bill of Health.

The Surgeon General announces
that of the two million officers and
men who have been demobilized
since the armistice was signed more
than ninety-three per cent. were
discharged with a clean bill of
health. Of those suffering diSabili-
ties only one per cent. were held for
communicable diseases. Most of the
men who have entered the army have
now returned to civil life; and at
the time of their return they were in
better physical condition than before
they entered the army. These fig
ures are high praise for the medical
staff of the army, and it is also a
vindication of the policy so strongly
advocated by Secretary of War Baker
for the provision of all comforts and
amusements for the purpose of keep
ing soldiers from dissipation.

EVERY MAN IN THREE STATES
FIGHTING BIG FOREST FIRES

Every man available In Western
Montana, Northern Idaho and East
ern Washington is being employed
by the Federal forest service and the
private forest protective association
to fight forest fires in Montana and
Idaho that were threatening two
Western Montana towns and millions
of feet of standing white pine.
High winds, abnormally high tenn
peratures combined with parched
forests are all but rendering the eff.
forts of 1000 men fighting the many
forest fires useless. The towns
threatened with destruction are
Atherton and st. Regis, in Montana.
Between 700 and 1000 acres in
the Helena forest are burning, raw
aging some of the timber and des-
troying the old mining town camp of
Jimtown, one and one-half miles from
York. The blaze has been burning
for weeks, most of the time under
control, but high winds spread it
rapidly and meager reports indicate
the fighters are being beaten stead
lily backward.
To attempt to stop the Rattlesnake
Creek fire in the Missoula, Mont,
forest, the fire fighters have made
fire line of more than % miles.
The fire itself has six-mile front.

This Is The Time To Do It.

State Road Commissioner Rodman
Wiley, of Kentucky, says that Tin
some parts of Hancock, Breckenridge
and Meade counties it actually costs
more to haul the products of the
farm from the producer to the rail
road station than it does to haul the
same material over the railroads
from Louisville to New York"
1t would be easy to pick, out coun-
ties in any State in the South of
which the same thing might truth
fully be said.
Good roads cost money, it is true;
but the roads that cost the most are
not the good roads. The most ex-
pensive roads in your county are not
the roads you have paid taxes to
make good. They are the roads you
pay taxes to leave bad-the roads
that compel you to haul smaller
loads, to spend more time, to pull
your horses harder, to strain your We
hicles more whenever you drive over
them. This country is paying more
for mud roads every year than it is
paying for macadam, concrete and
asphalt combined. 1.-THE worse the
road, the more it costs"
There has never been a better time
to build good roads than right now.
If your county or your community
needs better roads, you cannot afford
not to be helping it to get them.

The Month of July.

In July it's customary to write of
liberty because July is the birth
month of the Declaration of Inde-
pendence. Wonder if you ever stop
ped to think what liberty really is?
Some people seem to think it's the
right to vote. AS we remember the
Declaration, it guarantees to every
man equal privileges in (among 9TH
er things) the pursuit of happiness.
Isn't that a pretty good definition of
liberty? Life is after all pursuit Of
happiness. We eat food, not to sus-
tain us, but for the pleasure Of eat
ing, we wear clothes, not to keep
us warm, but for the satisfac-
ton of looking nice. w
We build homes not to protect us,
but so that we can better pursue
happiness. Our every action, word
and thought is in pursuit of that
something which will give us more
of the good things of life.
Then everything that helps to
make life easier or living less hard
ship tends towards liberty. The ar
ticle you are manufacturing is not
salable unless it makes labor. easier
or in some way adds to the comfort
and happiness of the human race.
Therefore, whatever you are making
and marketing, is an agent of liberty.
1t is helping to free the world. Never
thought of it that way, did you?

all fitted out with resplendent
, uniforms. The initiated work
ers in the place have learned by

, There stood the five dummies
as If at attention, and being I'M
able to discern the difference
between them and real cops the
new man fell right into line and
assumed the same attitude.
After holding this position for
about five minutes he nudged
the next dummy and asked:
How long do we have to keep
this up?"

patrolman's name was detected,

Shattered as Result Of Many

but still alive. General Muir, one of
the greatest war heroes, returned re.
Gently. AS the steamer pulled into
New York harbor, General Muir sat
on the deck wrapped in a blanket
that bore several wound and service
stripes. There was no perceptible
sign that he realized where he was.
He made no comment.
Reporters tried in vain to interview
him. Sergt. Fred j. Hermann, his
commander, did all the talking, You
see-General Muir Is carrier pigeon.
He was one Of the seven birds Of
the intelligence service Of the A. E..
F. that the transport brought home.
General Muir's exploits are many.
On one occasion, having been as
signed to deliver message of great
Importance to post Is miles away,
he flew through shrapnel and gas, and
past squadron Of Germans that had
been sent out to intercept carrier
pigeons and delivered the message In
just 33 minutes.
With his breast torn open, with his
wings singed by fire, and eyes blind
ed with blood. he kept on till he had
reached his objective.
King Cole, another pigeon, is the
nearest rival of General Muir for
fame. He was q messenger in the
last Argonne drive and flying through
cloud Of gas fell into an abandoned
trench. There he lay in the mud for
two days, and gathering strength,
arose, and came home with the mes
