gets MEDAL AS
LIFE SAVER
C, L. Spear, of Cambridge,
Receives Carnegie Gift
After Nearly 3 Years
HE ALSO RECEIVES
$1,000 IN CASH

CAMBRIDGE, Nd. Nov. g.
Clarence L. Spear. of Cambridge
who nearly three years ago saved
two children from drowning in Cam.
bridge creek. when they broke
through the ice, has been formally
notified by the Carnegie Hero Fund
Commission that he has been
awarded a medal and $1,000 as q
reward for his gallantry, subject to
his acceptance.
Mr. Spear. while manifestly graft
fed, showed little citation. saying of
his exploit that he could not stand
by and see the children drown, and
that. II the same thing happened
again he would act just as he did
then, except that he might try to
plan the rescue better.
When the accident happened. Mr..
Spear was skating on the creek.
Seeing two girls and a boy sink, he
skated quickly to the spot and Slid
into the water. He saved the girls.
but the boy had gone under thrice
before he got into the water.
After the children. were brought
to safety he was pulled from the
water with rope. which scratched
his hand and caused septic poison
Ing.
Mr.. Spear said that his greatest
fear was that the rush of men TO
assistance would break a large
piece of ice and send more people
INTO the water. He found some
ilflculty because OF the weight OF
his skates and the size OF the Hub
bard girl. who weighed about 100
pounds.

save Frank Dawson. of Cambridge.

manufacturing well as chemistry it was but natural
that the du Pont Companys leadership brought to-
gether one of the finest chemical stats in America.
And also it was natural for this chemical staff in its
researches seeking to improve du Pont explosives,
come upon other uses for the materials they worked
with, and so in time came series of du Pont prod
ucts seemingly unrelated to explosives.

WHOLESALE OYSTERS
LIKELY TO GO HIGHER

Wholesale prices for oysters are
now s14 to SIS per 1000 for primes
and 80 to $40 for culls. The mar
ket is showing a tendency to ad-
vance. and dealers declared 1t IS
likely there will be a 50-cent ad-
vance on all grades In the near flu
ture.
The demand is exceeding produc-
ton in some cases. dealers say. In
this connection it was pointed out
that Baltimore, until a few years
ago a big oyster shipping center is
today receiving Delaware Bay oy-
sters. This is due to the decline in
both the quantity and quality or
Bay oysters. New York
is also buying in the local market.
Delaware Bay oysters this year
are very good in quality, but only
fair in quantity. big users declare.

boats are now engaged in the big
gest years work. The oyster towns
all along the bay shore line are Wis
tied daily by buy" boats which
purchase all the oysters from the
dredgers and in turn resell them to
the shipping houses and packers at
Crisfield.
Crisdeld has made wonderful
strides forward in the past six years.
The crab business in the summer
and the oyster packing trade in the
winter has expanded so rapidly that
real estate values along the bay
front have more than doubled. In
the past year, new structures valued
at more than 100000 have been
built.
This IS not due TO the direct prod.
ucts but to the by-products OF the
two businesses. Formerly and al
most until the last year or two. the
only practical use to which oyster
shells were put was TO build roads
on the Eastern Shore. Some were
used for lime but not many. In the
past year a Baltimore concern has
erected a big plant whore the oys-
ter shells are burned for lime or
made into food for poultry. Expert
ments scientifically conducted have
aided the ambitious man. 1t has
been found that If the oyster shells
are made into lime practically as
soon as they are relieved OF their
luscious seafood. the production is OF
/ superior quality. As a consequence

Baseball Gossip For
Diamond Readers

All American League teams are
resting today. The Eastern clubs
are hurrying home to prepare for
the last invasion of the year by the
westerners next week.
Slow work on the bases, loose play
ing in the field and inability to de-
liver the punch at the right time
shot the Giants back into second
place when the Reds, although out
hit twelve to five, won their second
victory from the champs. Kelly hit
his thirteenth homer, the third for
him In two days.
Although the Braves and Cardi.
nails divided a double-header, the
Braves seem to have the Indian sign
on the Cardinals this season. Bos-
ton was outlucked In the second
game. BY winning L., the Cardinals
shot into the league lead.
The Yankees wound up their
Western trip by taking the ferocious
Tigers into camp. The game was
featured by Ruth's twenty first
homer, but the game was won. when
Bambino banged II for the circuit.
Perkins home run gave the Ath-
letics 4-to-S victory over the White
Sox. .
The Indians routed the Red Sox in
the final game, making II three out
of four.
The Dodgers staged a belated rally
in the ninth and almost won ball
game from the Cubs. The rally fell
short, however, by one run.

Whatever deficiencies and delin-
quencies the Yankee may be suffer

has accused the Yanks with par
ticular gameness or fighting ability.
They pull out comparatively few
games with late inning rallies. -
Cleveland. on the other hand. Is
generally regarded as one OF the
gamest. hardest fighting clubs In
present-day baseball. Yet the fact re-
mains that the Yanks have defeated
the Indians consistently ever since
these clubs became contenders after
the war.
Cleveland won its 1920 pennant.
despite the fact that the Yanks beat
them easily and often. The Yanks
won the years series, thirteen to
nine, but lost the pennant through
inability to win from the weaker
clubs with CIeveland's regularity.
Last year the Yanks again had a
OU e"e
out largely through their own efforts,
winning the years series from their
nearest rival fourteen games to eight.
The little worlds series, in which
the Yanks defeated Cleveland In
three games out OF four. on the Polo
Grounds last September, practically
won the pennant for New York.
This year the Yanks have a margin
of twelve games to four on the In
dams; with six more TO go. The win
ming of four straight games by the
Yanks in Cleveland last week es-
pecially was q crusher to Forest City
hopes.

Cleveland, the Indians were showing
their strongest offense Of the year.
