Hard Pounding
In Quakertown
Jean jacques Dubuc Goes
to Rescue, but There's
Nothing to Res scue

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 2s.-The low
liest team has punch if given time
to- show it. The Phillies produced
theirs here this afternoon in their
battle with the Giants. and the way in
which they thumped the apple and
ran up scores would lead one to think
they were champs instead of cellarites,
When the thing had all ended and
count was taken of the number of
had Id to the Giants 2. The umpire
accordingly awarded the game to the
Quakers. 1t wasn't much of a game.
but it certainly was great track
meet.
1T is rumored that Jesse Winters
once evinced desire to start a game
and 60 the whole route just to see
how it felt. Jesse got his opportunity
this afternoon. He started, but he
staggered out of the box in the sixth
period convinced that ducking rife
like shots for nine innings isn't oil
its cracked up to be. Jean jacques
Dubuc, past master in finishing games,
conducted the final rites.
The locals got off to a running start
and they wound up on the run. Gala.
han opened Philadelphia half of the
first with single. Blackburne sacri-
feed and went all the way to second,
when Zim threw wildly to first, Gala
han reaching third. Williams doubled
to right, scoring Callahan and Black
burne.
The visitors tied the score and at
the same time made their only runs
in the second inning. With two out
in this frame, Kauff singled. Kelly,
who performs most excellently on
ball fields other than the Polo Grounds,
tripled to centre, scoring Benja Sny-
der singled to centre and Kelly tai
lied.
In the fourth inning Bancroft drew
pass and advanced on Paulette's out
Adams singled, scoring Bancroft, and
then tailed himself on Hogg's dou-
Bile. Frlsch made great play on CAL
lahans hard hit and threw him out at
first.
The fifth was productive of six runs
for the locals. Mcusel singled past
to left. He and Mcusel then worked
a double steal. Bancroft beat out a
hit to Fletcher, scoring Mcusel Paul
cite singled to left, scoring Luderus.
Adams flied to Young, Bancroft going
to third and Paulette to second on the
out. Hogg walked and the bases were
filled. Callahan walked, forcing in
bancroft. Blackburne then cleaned
the bases with double to right. The
remainder Of the contest was a mat
ter of time.

that native of Norridgewock, later

have risen to great distinction and the
Independent-Repo is making an
/ effort to bring these to light. With
this in mind, we offer $4,000 in prizes
to be awarded: $500 to LIST; $1,000
to End and $500 to 3rd, for the most
meritorious list of notable Sons of

permissible to include those now liv-
ing, who have risen to distinction, pro-
vided they no longer reside in Somer-

ton to including the names OF noted
people, not natives OF Somerset, who
have passed considerable portion Of
their life here
News writer's employed in our office
and others Immediately connected
with our business establishment in
Skowhegan cannot compete for these
prizes. Otherwise they are open to
anyone in Somerset including the rs
correspondents OF the Independent

This offers an opportunity for some
one to get substantial prize for max
ing a little investigation which OF it

ought TO be a sufficient reward III

Drove Stage from SkOwhegan TO
MOOSehead Lake

John II. Hall OF Greenville recently
celebrated his 18th birthday at the
home of his daughter Mrs. Myron E.
Smith. A feature Of the occasion was
large birthday cake with 70 red
white and blue candles. Mr. Hall fol-
lowed the colors during the Civil War
After the war he spent several months
in Skowhegan in the home OF the late
DR.. Mann, where he was taken for
treatment after he had been given up
to die by other physicians of the State
Dr. Mann's medical skill did the trick
and prolonged his life Some forty
five years ago he drove on the stage
line between Greenville and Skowhe-
gan and tells several incidents OF
carrying the late Gov Coburn between
these two places, and also OF padding
him across Moosehead Lake around
which he had vast lumber interests.
He notes many changes in the build
ing structures and general appearance
of the town during his absence OF
over forty years. He has been a
guide on Moosehead many years and
Is familiar with every nook and cor
ner Of the lake.
Mr.. Hall was born in Moscow In
1910 but left there when 16 years OF
age and has never been back during
a period of IS years. He is contem-
plating trip there in the near fu-
ture before he and Mrs. Hall return
to their home In Greenville.
