To an invitation TO spend the

ing machine was blown to pieces by
an explosive on the farm of W. r.
Biggs. tenanted by Joseph b. Bryson,
near Middletown, on Monday even
ing. That night was the first he has
slept away from the machine since
starting his work in the vicinity.
A hay stack, which lay between
the destroyed machine and the
house on the farm. shielded the
building from the explosion shock
and at the same time gave the fend
who placed the explosive under the
threshsr an opportunity to work
without being in view OF the house.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 26.-The
United States. by the new peace
treaty signed with Germany late
yesterday. has made it clear in ex-
act detail its future international
policy.
The treaty secures recognition by
Germany OF American rights under
the Knox peace resolution and all
the benefits accruing to the United
States under the treaty OF Versailles.
despite the fact this government has
not ratified the latter document.
Il is generally recognized here that
the new treaty Is a blow 10 those
who still hoped that the United
States would enter the League Of
Nations and that It would be i'm
possible to make peace with Ger
many without accepting virtually all
OF the Versailles treaty.
Official peace with Germany now
waits on ratification OF the new
treaty by the American Senate and
the German Reichstag Ratification
here will be a mere formality. ac-
cording TO the general opinion ex-
pressed in official circles.
Final peace is expected in two
months.

an error. 1t was really a play that
involved merely the judgment of
the scorer. Generous scoring would
have made it an easy matter to
have entirely overlooked the play.
Here is the play that was the
only blot on ''Stuffy's" great rec
ord. Read it over and form your
own opinion No doubt you will
express a regret that the scorer
decided to give McInnis an error.
The scene was Philadelphia and
the date May 80, 1921. The error
was recorded on a thrown ball.
Jimmy Dykes was on first base,
nobody out and the score close.
McInnis figured the batter was 60
ing to bunt, and went in on the
pitch to make a play at second if
possible.
The batter missed the ball. Jim
my Dykes, who had taken a big
lead, seemed to be a sure out either
at first or second. The moment the
batter missed, 'StHffy" ran back to
first, watching Catcher Walters all
the time. A perfect throw. properly
handled by him, would have gotten
Dykes couple of yards Walters
started his throw and then hesitat-
ed slightly.

"Stuffy" McInnis, the brilliant
first baseman of the Boston Red
Sox, made most remarkable rec
ord last season.
Usually, when a player performs
some unheard of feat it is heralded
all over the states in big headlines.
In many ways the record of Nc
Innis was one OF the most extra
ordinary feats ever performed in
the major leagues, yet it has been
given only slight consideration.
Playing through the entire sea-
son, McInnis' made only one error.
Consider all the play that centers
around first base. Recall the many
difficult throws the first sacker has
to handle Don't forget the many
plays the first baseman must make
on ground balls.
Think over all those things and
then remember that during the en-
tire season McInnis made only one
error, and you will have a fairly
good idea of the magnitude of
"Stufy's" performance.
1t was the irony of fate that Nc
Innis should have made his only
error in the city in which he made
his start, Philadelphia 1t was also
a tough break that caused the off,
