thumb and over Tommy Grieve's
head.
In all other innings, both teams
were BANKED, but it was only by
superb twirling and defensive
work that home plate was kept in
violate in The tenth inning.
Fairbanks base runners choked
the sacks. Jack Maloney was
walked, likewise Grieve and Nc
Laughlin was hit by Haughton's
sharply breaking drop. Against
nine teams out of ten, the locals
would have clinched the contest
right then and there. But San
ford was supreme at the crucial
time
Charlie Hoernle came to bat
and drove a hot grounder down
to the Sanford first sacker, j.
McKeon. The latter, playing
head-ups baseball all the time,
scooped up the bounding agate
and whipped it fast and true into
Prescott's big nit, retiring NAL
oney at the plate. Meanwhile
Tommy Grieve, intent on scoring
and ending the game wandered
off too far third and Prescott shot
the sphere down to Rowe. Grieve
dashed up and down the base path
once or twice and then ran plumb
into Prescott who stood waiting
for him with the ball in his hand.
In the hopes that a right hand
ed batter would have more luck
against the willy southpaw, Haugh-
ton, Coach Hoernle inserted
Cuddy Murphy in the lineup to
bat for Fuller Martin. Cuddy got
a base on balls and then the fra
cas- frightened up momentalily.
Bill Lyons was also given q
chance to come through as a
'pinch-hitter but Haughtsn was un-
merciful with his deadly hook
which he broke with accuracy
around Bills knees for the final
strike out.
The Hoernle- coached nine had
another chance to- sew up the
game in the sixth inning, after
Haughton had walked Grieve and
Nc aughlin. Tommy Starr, left
handed batter, was pulled out of
the lineup and Charlie Hoernle
inserted himself in the batting or
der.
Charlie silenced for the rest of
the summer any rumors to the eff
feet that his "come- back" is not
complete. He laid down a corking
bunt toward first base and both
Grieve and Mclaughlin advanced
a peg. A Fairbanks score seem
ed almost a certainty, but Haugh-
ton steamed up, tanning Martin
and causing Gray to pop up to
Rowe in foul territory.
Fuller Martin kept up his good
work in center field yesterday,
pulling off two fine catches, both
of which came in the first inning.
His catch of FarTePs fly was a
wonder as he had to race at
ck-break speed far into left
field to snare it.
Two snappy double plays in
which Jack Maloney figured nip
ped off budding Sanford rallies. In
the fourth inning, Prescott got on
base by means of a Texas Lacquer
Fairbanks players. Maloney pick
ed up E. McKeon's grounder and
tossed to Grieye who threw to Nc
Laughlin for a pretty twin killing.
Witty started another double play
in the fifth when he scooped up
infeld tap, and whip
ped the ball to Maloney who then
shot it to first.

War Slaughter

NEN. Won ALTROCK, a German statistician, places
u the German losses in killed during the war at
1908, 54S and in wounded ct 4,246,779," states the
New York Herald. Germany was in the war for
ffty-one months and seven days, and General Won
Altrock estimates that for every hour Of the conflict
Germany lost 46 men killed and 100 wounded.
accepting Gen. Won Altrocks figures as accurate
It appears that the total of those killed and wounded
in the German forces, reckoned by the hour, exceeds
the losses of any other great Power in the conflict
except Russia When Russia made peace she had
been in the war forty-three months and three days.
and in wounded 4,950,000. For every hour OF her
participation in the war 54.S of her men were killed
and 1895 wounded. Russia's hourly losses exceed
Germany's in the number Of killed by 8s and in
the number of wounded by 5o.5.
Austria Hungary lost 100000 men killed and 81
100000 wounded, or on the average 21.6 killed and
or s7.7 for every hour, and 2~,s75,ooo wounded, or
72.s hourly. The British Empires soldiers were killed
at the rate of 1873 an hour and were wounded at the
rate of 55.4 hourly.
sThe Central Records Office Of the American Ex-
peditionary Forces, from which the figures presented
here come, gives the British loss in killed as 500, o65
and in wounded as 2,oS7,325. Italy was in the war
~forty-one months and nineteen days. Her $4,000
men killed died at the hourly rate of 12.1 and her 947,-
900 soldiers wounded were stricken at the rate of s1.5
an hour.
"The United States was in the war nineteen
months and four days. Much of this time was de-
voted to raising our armies and transporting them to
France. Our total killed was 50,320 and our wounded
EOS, 500. Our men were killed at the rate Of 3.6 and
wounded at the rate of 14.9 an hour for the whole
period of our participation. The averages for actual
combat hours cannot be satisfactorily asccrtained.
with the total number of killed Of all nations
during the war placed at 1885, 800 and the wounded
at 1851, 257, the interesting fact disclosed is that
for every hour the conflict lasted 2o7.7 men were
killed and 506.6 wounded. To this terrific total add
the millions upon millions In all the twenty-seven ma
tons involved whose deaths, directly or Indirectly,
were caused by the conflict. General Won AItrock
estimates that the total number of Germans who LOST.
their lives as the direct or indirect consequence of the
was 12,0 900. This would be at the rate of
1928 deaths for every hour that the war lasted. This
is a guess; the total for all nations must be q guess

Me Price /Rhid for
One Little Mistake

EvEN before I met Ted Farrel, 1 felt
~ strangely attracted to him Whenever
any one mentioned his name. a thrill of
inexpressibie happiness surged through me.
And once, when the newspapers wrote up the
story of how he had saved a youngster from
drowning / clipped out his picture and pasted
il in my scrapbook. oh, how I cherished that
picture, and dreamed over il, and wondered and
hoped
If ! could only meet hin-if I could only
sec him, and talk tc him and tell him how
much / admired him i felt. somehow, as
though ! had known him all my life. / just
kn<rr that TO meet him would be to kindle an
immediate friendiiness, a responsive feeling.
Then, one day, came a glorious surprise.
An old school chum of mine, from whom l had
not heard in a long time, invited me to a little
informal dinner at her home. Tied Farrell will
be here" she wrote in her letter, "and l know
you will be glad to meet him" Glad! It
seemed to me that l had nothing left to wish
for IN all the world!
