GREENLEAF ALMOST

overwhelms Benny Allen in
Second Block Of Match,
1853 to 80
NEEDS ONLY 14O TO WIN

Ralph Grernlcaf. the sensational
young cue king. "olled up tremendous
lead on Benny Allen in the second block
of their match for the championship
Of the world last night. 1t was played
nt the Hudson Recreation Company s
exhibition room and Greenleaf dropped
ljS balls in the rockets-cxactly the
same rs he accumulated Thursday
night. Allen was entirely off form ana
only scored "a.
This makes tho match stand $40 for
Crrcn."af and l24 for Allen.
The champion started off at faste.
gait than he did Thursday. getting q
run Of 4S in the opening frame. AZ no
time did he threaten TO equal his high
run OF 81 on the opening night. but his
play was always brilliant and steady.
Allen. on the other hand. apparently
had his confidence badly shaken by the
lead tha, his young rival piled up. H.
missed easy shots. and not once during
the entire session did he get away to II
long run. The best he could do ut any
time was L.. which run came in the
third innins-anl his total of 81 looked
antully weak compared with Green
leafs los. Ralph accumulated his total
in seventeen innincs-tive less than IL
took him to max" the same number on
the opening nghr.
The champion failed 70 display the
prima donna temperament that amused
the 500 spectators when h" first ap.

POISON GAS POURS
FROM ALTER CAMP
EIeventh-Hour Attempt Made to
Turn Voters Away From
Pinchot
QUESTIONABLE SENT OUT

Whipped into q panic by the fear ol
defeat in next Tuesdays primary elec.
ton, the Alter Campaign Committst
today launched an unusually poisonou,
gas attack on Clifford Pinchot.
Pinchot warned his audience at thu
Academy of Music last night that such
last hour work was to be expected. The
| forester told the men and women gath
! cred there not to believe anything about
him or his plans unless he himself told
of It.
Today's production BY the Alter com :
mittee was built UP just like a police
court lawyer argues before the Judge"
1t is a favorite method among lawyers
of this class TO throw the opposition
into confusion BY asking such questions
as us it true that you beat your wife,
! The Alter QUESTIONABLE Of today, said
Pinchot men, Is along that line.
1t follows in part:
Mr.. Pinchot, who are you?
Are you real Pennsylvania, ol
were you not born in Connecticut and
lived in New York until 1912?
Did you ever cast n vote in Penn
sylvania before 1912 when you were
forty seven (47) years Of age?
Was not this first vote simply for
the purpose of technically qualifying
you to run for the United States Senat tc
against Penrose in 1914?
Have you ever voted In PENNSYLVANIA
since 1912 or 1914?
If so, how often. and when /and
where and what ticket?
Did you not frequently declare In
your speeches in 1912 and 1914, "Thc
Darty 10
through with the Republican Party
forever?'
Are these your views at the present
time; il not when did you undergo q
change?
Is it not fact that, while you have
been decrying extravaganza. your DE.
partment of Forestry in Pennsylvania
was more expensively and extrava- =
gantly conducted by you than any other
Department of the State Government!
Are you not n believer and advocate
Of government ownership. the control
of natural resources including forests
mines, lands. water.power. etc.
Are you not also in favor of gov
crnment ownership and operation OF
railroads and other public utilities?
Are you not also in favor of the
unfair and inequitable doctrine of q
direct "Graded and Progressive In
come Tax for State purposes in Penn
sylvania?
Are You not an advocate of birth
control. and other socialistic ideas?
Mr.. Pinchot. where did you spend
last Sunday. May Z?
Was it in church or attending Bible
class? Or did you not spend the time
posing for moving pictures intended to
fake the people?
Did you not also pose beside a stream
with fishing rod as If fishing in a stream
you know contained no fish?
What other fake poses have you had
placed before the people Of Pennsyl.
vania in this campaign?
Among those lately to declare for
Alter are the Rev. Charles G. johnson
Presbyterian minister of Lawrence
County, the Rev. F. T.. Tects, Metho-
dist minister Of Ellwood City. Pa, and
labor leaders in Armstrong County.

ALTER FOR BUDGET
Urges Change In Distributing Of Ed
ucatIonaI Funds

Pittsburgh. May 13.-Answering as.
sertions that the State Treasury is
bankrupt, Attorney General Alter.
speaking at Butler last night, declared
that he is in favor of budget system
for the guidance of State affairs, or
any other system which will keep the
expenditures within the revenue derived
from taxation.
This appears impossible at times be /.
cause of the system of raising revenue
in use by the State Mr.. Alter con :
tinued. when the revenue falls short
of the appropriations made by the Leg
islature, some institutions have to wait.
No one is at fault and no mismanage.
mcnt can be charged to the depart
ments.''
He advocated a change OF method in
distributing educational funds and cor.
rectionS OF inequalities in taxation in
the local districts.
Mr.. Alter did not 90 into details re.
garding his platform, but said that If
elected he will do the things that ap.
pear to be good for the people and the
State.

Pinchot came on the stage. His eyes
sparkled with delight as they ran over

ardor. That was the spirit of the
thing; the feeling of high purpose. 1t
all augured badly for the bosses. And
this was only one of the dcmonstra. /.
tions of the night.
In formally starting of the pro-
gram. DR.. William Draper Lewis,
the chairman, remarked, as if in an
aside, 1T is not unlikely that some
thing will happen next Tuesday in
Pennsylvania. In the course of his
address DR.. Lewis read from an Alter
pamphlet, written by Harry A. Mackey
that Pinchot had the misfortune tc
be born rich

born rich.'
Well, OF course, the audience simply
let everything fly but the seats, as tht
sporting writers would say.
"Bill" Roper, in his speech, sale
that he had lots Of experience in sizinf
up men and finding out whether or MOI
they had rugged Intervals. Such &
man. he said, was Pinchot.
Joseph MacLaughlin, former Director
of Supplies. who was in the Cabinet OF
Mayor Smith, delivered the Grafton O
the night. Both his wit and his dra
matte utterances stirred the audience
time and again. He boldly declared
that Ed Ware was not a man to bt

ernOr of Pennsylvania.
He told of his experiences as Direc
tor of Supplies when, he said. Ed Var
vainly tried to influence him in the dis
charge of his public duties. lie charged
