Plnillies Go Down to Defeat
After Twelve-Inning Battle
Wild Throw by Mack
Wheat Helps Flatb1sl1-
ers; Grimes to Rescue
By r. 7. Kellv

Wilbert Robinson's Dodgers regained
the lead in the gruelling pennant chase
by defeating Cactus Cravaths lowly
Phillies in an exciting twelvc-inning
game at Ebbets Field yesterday after
noon by score Of 6 to 5. A wild throw
to first base in the final inning by
Mack Wheat, the visitors catcher, al
lowed Johnston and Zack Wheat to
bring the tying and winning runs
across after the Phils had taken the
lead in their half.
George Smith. formerly of Columbia
University and the Giants. who was on
the mound for the cellar occupants,
only eight hits. He kept these fairly
we'll scattered, and was accorded good
support by his mates. Cravath in
jected himself into the pastime in the
twelfth inning to bat for Smith. This
proved to be q poor move, as Enzmann,
who took up the burden in the second
half Of the twelfth, was wild and in
effective.
Pfeffer Hit Hard
Jeff Pfeffer started in the box for the
Flatbush players, but he was bumped
with considerable frequency. He was
taken out in the fifth in favor of a
pinch hitter. Cadore undertook to hold
the Phlllies in check in the sixth, but
he, also, was removed to allow Mitchell
to bat for him. Al Mamaux then made
his appearance on the mound in the
eighth, but Uncle Robbie gave him the
gate after he had passed two batters.
Burleigh Grimes was quickly hurled
into the breach and stemmed threat
ening rally.
The Phillies got off to a flying start
BY showing TWO runs across in the very
first inning. Paulette led off with a
single to center and lie Bourveau's sac
rifice sent him to second. Rawlings
flied out to Wheat, but Williams fol
lowed with a double to left, scoring
Paulette. Meusel shot single to
right, cn which Williams completed the
circuit. Fletcher grounded to konetchy
for the third out
The Dodgers finally got started in
the fourth inning when they scored a
run on three bases on balls, sacrifice
and an iniield out. The visitors came
right back in the fifth and added two
more on base on balls, Paulette's S
single and Meusel's double The Brook
lynites got another in their half of
the fifth on Elliott's double and two
outheld flies.
Robbie's crew made a desperate
stand in the seventh and tied the count
by scoring two runs on a base on balls,

tional leadership last to Cincinnati last
Thursday. ''''
with first place at stake Cleveland
tried Clark, a recruit, on the mound
yesterday and he shut out St. Louis with
four hits. The Indians, who lost four
straight to New York at Cleveland la st
week, will play the Yankees in three
game series starting to-day. Chi
ccago went into second place ahead of
New York yesterday by defeating De-
trolt, while the Yankees were beaten by
Washington. 1t was the Senator'S first
victory in eleven games.
The Cincinnati Nationals regained
some lost ground last week bv fakine
four games out of five from Boston
through heavy batting, but the Red
pitchers were in far from championship
form. The Brooklyn twirlers also were
unsteady. New York is playing first
class baseball behind steady pitching.
The Giants lost two games last week
when unable to hit Adams of Pitts
burgh and through wild pitches by
Ioney with rain-soaked ball Pitts
burgh's play fell off after it's New
York setback, and the Pirates lost
twice to St. Louis before winning yes
terday. The Cardinals had their first
winning week since June.
The Chicago Americans continued
their excellent play, taking five straight
games from Washington, in addition
t. victories over Boston and Detroit.
The White Sox pitchers went along
steadily until Faber was batted hard
by the Tigers in Saturdays second
game. st. Louis and Boston repeated
their winning work of the previous
week. Washington set a weekly record
for the season by losing eight straight
games, six of which, however, were by
one run.

sumptuous banquet and delightful
evening under the auspices of the Ro-
tary club.
A number of the congressional
party made speeches expressing their
interest in our reclamation problems.
Director A. p Davis of the U. S. Rec
lamation Service, expressed not only
his unqualified endorsement of the
American Falls reservoir, but also
for the Fall River project, by which
immense quantities of waste water
will be conserved for the use of the
Upper Valley Burton l.. French of
Idaho, acted as POSTMASTER, and
strong speeches were made by local
men.
Accompanying the train were many
notables of Idaho and many citizens
anxious to CLEAN from the congress
sional party any information that
might be given them. The congress-
men were very kind and very gener-
GUS in their attitude toward the citi-
zens and did everything in their pow
err to be helpful, and in plain Ian
guage gave the citizens to under
stand at the points visited that they
were in favor of reclamation, and
would do all in their power to help.
Local officials left the train with
the impression that the visit of the
committee, and also members of the
public lands and ways and means
committee, would result in great
and mighty good for Idaho, because
all the public officials need is an
understanding of what reclamation
rearlly means to become friendly.

lied the Importance of these great
granaries, and the mighty production
per acre of the irrigated lands of the
west; that he was converted, and
from now on would do all he could to
help us in our work The time being
limited owing to the departure of the
train at 1920 for the Minidoka pro-
ject, the balance of the speeches were
curtailed.
Governor Davis called the meeting
to order, and Mayor Eagleson, on be-
half of Boise, welcomed the visitors,
after which Congressman Smith of
Idaho was made chairman. When
Congressman Smith got to his feet he
received a mighty ovation. which
lasted for fully five minutes and
wound up with three cheers for Ad-
Olson Smith, the tireless, indefatig-
able, worker for Idaho and its peo-
pie
AT II o'clock the train left for the
Minidoka project, running through to
Bull, where breakfast was served.
At Burley, the train was met by full
ly 500 people and 100 automobiles.
The party was then taken over the
Minidoka project under the guidance
of Mr.. Barry Dibble, project manager
and other reclamation officers, and
the farther we went the greater be-
came the enthusiasm of the congress-
men for reclamation. The pumping
plants were visited, also the Minidoka
dam, and the party after making a
friendly call on the city of Rupert,
proceeded to Ninidoka, and from
thence to American Falls, where a
stop of one hour was made to allow
the congressman to see the site of
the great American Falls dam. The
train then came to Pocatello and went
on north to Idaho Falls, where as

Of the greatest things we could do
if we could just pick them right up
as the guests of the west and bring
them out here and show them that we
are an earnest, reliable people; that
our credits are good, that any obliga-
lions we incure we work hard to pay
and that the east must necessarily
look to the west for its maintainence
and as time goes on, that will become
more apparent.
We have every reason to feel
pleased and more than satisfied with
the efforts of the Idaho Reclamation
Association Mounting all factions of
irrigated Idaho, and the trip of this
congressional party has demonstrat-
ed that by concerted action and work
for united cause by united people
we will solve our problems much
more readily by virtue of this organi-
cation.

The party was taken over the Ros-
we'll Bench, and Deer Flat. where,
from high points splendid views could
be had of the country for miles and
miles, passing thru Wilder, stopping
at Caldwell for light refreshments,
and there being heartily greeted by
citizens of that lively town; then on
to Nampa where sumptous lunch
was spread; from Nampa to Boise
and on to Moore's creek, from there
by machine to Arrowrock Dam and
back to Boise, at which place ban
quet was served to the guests and
about 100 citizens from all parts of
Idaho.
Congressman Good of Iowa, chair
man of the appropriations committee,
made splendid speech, and wound
up by saying that he was for recla-
nation and would do all in his power
to assist the west in this great work
of development. Congressman VIII
R. Wood, of Indiana, lawyer of ma
tional ability and congressman who
has made good, also made a broad
and splendid talk, dwelling particul-
arly on the information he had gath
cred and what he had seen with his
own eyes, and that from now on, he
was friendly to reclamation, and by
an understanding of what it meant
wished to be helpful in our great
work of conquering the desert. Con-

thought will prove satisfactory to all
concerned. J. N. Collins, president of
the farmers union here, presided.
A committee of six, two repre-

ers, was appointed to work out a

The report advocated 12-hour
