Husbands Are Hoping.

Recently an Irvington woman IN
vited few of her friends to play cards
during the afternoon. There was n
strong intimation that the highest
score would be rewarded with n prize.
That stimulated interest to a degree.
The women had visions of the or
binary prizes given for card prof.
cheney. One of them thought of nice
ly hemmed towel, another saw visions
of cut-glass tumbler, and still an
other dreamed of something else. There
was but one table and as the hostess
was barred the contest was wholly be-
tween the remaining three. Finally
the games were over and the scores
tabulated. Then the hostess came in
with a big glass of currant jelly and
presented it as the prize of the aft
ernoon. She picked the currants In
her own garden and had made the
jelly herself
There is hope in the hearts of some
Iryington husbands that the fad of
giving real food as prizes will grow.
Then, if their wives are good enough
bridge players there may be something
to eat when husbands come home In

Got Away-Two Others
Recaptured.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo, June II

which the three climbed a coal car and
sent it crashing down an incline through
the prison gates The car overturned
outside the wall and one prisoner SEN
fenced to life Imprisonment for murder
was captured Immediately. Another SEN
fenced to life Imprisonment for murder
and robbery abandoned the car just before
it hit the gate and was returned to his
cell. The third man, serving 10 years
for robbery, escaped.
The men had made keys for their cell
doors and escaped from the inner con-

White S0X GO TO
TOP OF A. |. heap;
REDS WORKING HARD

The winning pace of the Chicago
Americans which has carried them to
the top Of the league standing, seems
to indicate that only decided brace
by either Cleveland or New York can
prevent the White Sox from repeating
last years success.
Chicago has won IL of its last IA
games, including yesterdays victory
over Washington. No great strength
is being displayed by the three leading
National teams and a close race down
the September stretch is expected.
Brooklyn yesterday brought about
virtual tie with Cincinnati for first
place by defeating the Reds and break
ing even on the four-game series. New
York, two games behind, will start a
series with Cincinnati next Friday.
Cleveland Slipping.
The Cleveland Americans outplayed
New York last week, but dropped two
games to Boston. Chapmans death
apparently has affected the batting of
the Spokemen, who have been leading
the league with unofficial team aver
age Of more than 800. After Mondays
game, they batted only at rate Of
.146.
The Yankees also are hitting lightly
and although they improved yesterday
against Detroit, the Tiger batsmen
founded the New York twirlers even
harder than in Saturdays game. OF
the other teams, Boston alone is show
ing to advantage, but seems to be too
far back in the race to hope for more
than fourth place.
The pitching Of Fisher and Eller
against Chicago put Cincinnati ahead
of Brooklyn in the National League
last week. In the series with the
Superbas, the Reds took the first two
by heavy hitting, but were blanked by
Marquard and lost yesterday when
Ring was ineffective.
Giants Take Rubber.
New York yesterday won the rubber
contest Of a three-game series with
Chicago after breaking even with Bos-
ton and Philadelphia.
Pittsburgh was unable to do better
than split even last week and despite
strong pitching is making no threat of
the struggle for the league
leadership.

The Cincinnati outfielder slumped five
points for an average of 1927, which
ties him with j. Smith for fourth

new MADISON LEADS
SUBURBAN LOOP RACE

New Madison leads the suburban
league by it's win from Eldorado Sun
day afternoon, and aided by ruling Of
League President George Brehm, that
one game be marked against Center
Vile and one to credit of Eldorado.
Brehms ruling was made because Of
protest by Eldorado that the game
forfeited by Centerville early in July
because of disorganization of Center
vile, was never counted in league
standing. Certerville claims the game
should not be counted as Eldorado was
notified before it ever left Eldorado for
Centerville.
Delving into early records shows
that Eldorado has been defeated three
times this season, once by Lynn, Cen
terville and New Madison. Centerville
has lost to Richmond Senators, Miller

More than 400 persons turned out
for the baseball game at Centerville
Sunday afternoon between Lynn and
Centerville The home towners were
made happy as Centerville emerged
winner by to 0 score.
Mike Knott, Centerville hurler, was
invincible with men on bases. His
strike out total was not as great as in
other games, but he made 'em hit
where Centerville fielder was cavort-
ing.
Centerville only made nine hits off
McCracken, but punched these. The
punching of hits did not start until the
sixth inning, however. One run was
made in this inning, two were added
in the seventh and another thrown in
for good measure in the eighth. Lynn's
hits were wasted.
Creagor, Cente, villes crack second
baseman, was piked in the leg in the

for treatment Seven stitches were
required to close the cash.

Of Boston, a large delegation of White

Boston claims Whitewater used

Riner, Whitewater hurler is the main
reason for the protest. The suburban
league ruling is that player must be

did the Dayton Red Sox at Exhibition

Eagles did not indicate the real diff

capable of, the score: probably would
have been considerably larger.

Eagles, was a puzzle to the Red Sox
Ten were whitfield by Hawekotte, while
he compelled the rest of the visitors
to hit scratchy liners and flies to the

judgment and two errors helped, how
ever. Two hits counted two runs in
