men of Rockville Center, L. J.. after

The question was whether or not

When the question was broached
recently church folk protested to the

feared the feminine vote might be

Notes of the Game

If you can forget about that fatal
sixteenth, 1t was a great ball game.
Eddie Collins kept the Nationals
from winning earlier in the even
ing by wonderful fielding and then
came near tossing the game away
in the fifteenth with an error.
Though he blew with the rest Sof
the gang in the sixteenth; Eddie
Charity performed wonderfully
while the Griffs had hopes of win
ming. Four Chicago speed boys
were cut down trying to steal.
Stanley Harris corralled four hits
and conducted himself around Sec
ond in remarkable fashion until the
fireworks which rang down the
curtain.
jackson made three bases on a
high one which fell on the line IN
short left field. Two singles and a
walk also maintained the healthy
proportions of his batting average.
Felch was unable to continue his
home-run hitting of the past two
days, but his pair Of triples helped
the Hose along.
The stun Ole Erickson served mn
had the Sox sIuggers guessing and
1t developed that the substitution
OF Shanks in the tenth failed to
help matters for the locals.
shannon was robbed of hits by
both Collins and Jackson, the Shoe
less One spearing his wicked smash
In the sixteenth with one hand
after a hard run.
Roy Wilkinson will be Gleason,s
pitching choice today.
Those two errors by Harris were
his first In fifteen games.
Zeb Milan's three hits placed bir,
