invisible but very much present,
was the lady Of destiny.
What will you have, Mr. Ruth"
she inquired pleasantly.
Ruth answered, not as Mr.. Casey
did some years ago. He did not
strike out. He grounded to Sister.
and barely avoided a double play
which would have meant defeat for
the Yanks.
But the strike enabled Waite
Hoyt to score the tying run, and
In the tenth inning the Yankees
won by a score Of TO 5.
The great concrete stadium had

brown.
The game had resolved itself into
a tug of war. The lady Of destiny
had drawn the cake Of victory out
Of the oven frequently, only to push
1t back for more baking.
Apparently 1t needed some frost
ing. The fans sampled it and shock
their heads disapproVingly.
Give US home run" they
yelled.
The Babe tried. He brought into
play a new bat-a big club-like thing
covered with a thick coating of
green paint And all that the Babe
did aside from the out which
brought in the tieing run. was TO
devise a two.bagger in the fifth.
In the tenth the Babe went out
on an infield grounder.
When the Babe took his first turn
at the bat he was greeted with a
cataclyemic roar Of welcome. There
was an intense desperation OF pur-
pose In every move he made. He
took two balls, swung and missed
. low curve. Then he raised a foul
In front OF the plate. II was
caught by Severoid. The Babe
threw his bat away in disgust.
When the game ended the Babe
who was coaching at third base
while the Yankees were at bat. raced
TO the clubhouse. with crowd OF
fans at his heels.
While the victory went to the
Yanks, there was a measure OF dis
appointment in the crowd because
the Babe failed TO come through with
a homer. II was the second day he
had disappointed them.
Mrs. Ruth was present. She sat
in box beside the Yankee dugout

SHOULD FINISH CRUISING WORK
Reelection OF E. Des Yoignes Means
Much To Boundary County.

With the general election but few
days off the interest among voters
and speculation as to who will be
elected in what appear to be close
contests, is increasing
The interest is being conferred on
the contests between Washburn and
Dunning, for sheriff; Des Voignes and
Wiley, for treasurer; McGlocklin and
Reid for assessor, n d Henry and
Flood for county attorney.
Des Voignes, the republican nomi-
nee for county treasurer is unable to
make a personal solicitation of sup
port for his candidacy as he is hold
ing office now and feels that his
duties demand his close attention and
that any campaign he could make
would be at the expense of the tax
payers.
Political enemies Of Des Voignes are
saying that he was paid for his work
in connection with the county cruise.
This statement is emphatically de-
MED by Mr.. Des Yoignes. who states
that he was not given extra pay and
didn't ask or expect extra pay for sup
erintending the cruising Work and
that this can be verified by the county
records Mr. Des Voignes' work in
the cruising of timber lands in Bound
airy county has undoubtedly resulted
in all opposition possible from inter
ests who feel that the cruise will tend
to increase their taxes.
The cruise of county timber lands
is not yet completed and it would be
wise to re-elect Des Voignes to the
office he holds and permit him to
finish the work he has started in or
der that Boundary county may be in a
position to force the railway com
panies holding timber in this county
to pay their just proportion of the
taxes

Yet Washington usually shows d
gain during the period. but not on as

One Of the chief sources Of gain
