BETHEL
Randolph High School Defeated Whit
comb High, to 0.

I
The first man who faced Hickey in
the Randolph. Whitcomb baseball game
yesterday romped around with the only
| tally that was needed to carry the
coveted game back to Randolph. Hav-
ing hit safely, Cook was kindly helped
Oh the next two stages by wild pitches,
and then was sacrificed home. After that
Hickey allowed only four scores and
pitched well enough to have won al
most any sother game, but his support
was very poor and the team hardly
seemed the same as the one whichwon
the thinning game in Randolph two
weeks ago Mazzolini was the hero of
the game and we'll deserves the laurel
crown. He held the hard hitting Whit
comb boys to three scattered singles,
and was in complete control of the stu
alton from first to last. Seldom has a
better pitching exhibition been given at
high school game. His infield gave
him fine support, but he would have
won his game even If the rest had
played poorly. There were some fine
individual plays by Bethel, and Batch
elders reliable work at first base never
was more noticeable. A lightning dou-
Bile play in the second inning retired
Taft at first base and Scott at the
plate. In the seventh, Castle caught
Taft's fly and put the back back in
time to catchc Mazzolini between first
and second, Batchelder tagging him.
The score was to 0, as follows:

Ne1u Demands Are
Made BY Strikers
Ask Guaranty Of 70
Working Days and 6O%o
increase From. June, 10

A series of additional demands by
the OUTLAW" railway strikers in New
Jersey was made public last night after
nit the Federal Labor Board to pass
on the demands already made. In the
new statement they said:
eve further demand the guarantee
of twenty-six working days for all as
signed men.
+ eve further demand that the system
of physical examinations be abolished
after applicants have passed pre-
lminarv examinations Any employee
who fails to pass the prescribed color
test shall be given field test, and II
be retained in the service in any capac-
ity that his physical condition will
enable him to perform, and at the same
rate of pay that the applicant received
in his former position"
The new demands also include one
for 60 per cent increase in pay, from
June I, 1919, for clerks, station and
express employees, with an eight-hour
day, time and half for overtime, one
day week off with pay, two weeks
vacation with pay and present pay to
be changed to an hourly basis, figured
on 306 eight-hour days.
The strikers are preparing statistics
to back up their assertions, and are
taking into considerations "The scale
Of wages paid for similar work in other
| industries, the relation between wages
and the cost of living, the hazard of
employment, training and skill re-
quired. degree of responsibility, char
acter and regularity of employment,
Inequalities in wages or treatment and
the result of previous wage orders or
adjustments"

sioner declared conditions due to the
railroad strike had made it impossible
to get forage otherwise at prices within

"Already the strike has created Sc

Commissioner Whalen. Bidders who
were awarded contracts for certain of
the departments have declined to exc

Britons Buy Much American Honey

American honey is becoming incr

account of the shortage of sugar the
English people have taken readily to
it's use, and it now seems probable
that the demand will continue even
after sugar becomes plentiful. The
clear strained honey in the glass has

1914 the total importations by the

incheased to 36,500,O00 pounds, val

in 1913 than any other country, its

FEW WOMEN POSSESS GENIUS

In the history Of genius, women
have but a small place, declares
Cesare Lombroso, professor Of legal

researches, he asserts, have convinced
him that women Of genius are rare ex-
ceptions in the world. 1t is an old OBJ
servation, he says, that while thou
sands Of women for every hundred
men apply themselves to music,
there has never been a single great
woman composer. Out Of 600 Wora-

not one has ever made any discovery
Of Importance, and with few ex-
eeptlOns the same may be said Of
other countries. Even John Stuart
Mill, who was very partial to the
cause of women, confessed that they
lacked originality. Even the few who
emerge have, says Professor Lombroso,
something yirile about them. AS
Goneourt said, there are no women Of
genius; the women of genius are men.
Women never created new religion,
nor were they ever at the head of
great political, artistic or scientific
movements, Professor Lombroso says
women have stood In the way Of all
