Arthur Nehf cracked wide open and
the Giants cracked with him. He
pitched Hoffman four straight balls,
loading the bases with only one down.
Bush went in to bat for Witt, pre-
senting the strange picture Of a pitch
er pinch hitting for the lead-off man
Of the team. Nehf pitched Bush four
straight balls, forcing in Schang and
making the score 2 and 4. At this
point the master mind, alias Muggsy
McGraw, alias an imitation of Robins
thinker, alias also a stout little man
with gray hair, who is often com
pared to Napoleon by hysterical per-
sons suffering from chronic astigma-
tism, yanked poor Nehf and sent in
Rosy Ryan to stop the slaughter.
The score was then to in favor
Of the Giants. The bases were load
ed with Yanks There was one out
The tying run was on third and the
winning run on second. And Babe
Ruth was at the bat. This is truth
that is being written. It is history
in spite Of the fact that it sounds like
fiction

Perhaps 1t was because the program
', was one of greater popular appeal than
any which the organization has ever
before presented for the pleasure OF an
Augusta audience, or that the players
were more confident in their power as
result Of the careful training Of their
leader, Ernest r. Hill. the first public
rehearsal Of the fourth season Of the
Augustus Symphony Orchestra at the
Opera House Sunday evening was dis
tinct triumph, and carried the 900 or
1000 people who occupied every avail
able seat and stood in solid phalanx
behind the rails on both the orchestra
and balcony floors. through an hour Of
wonderfully rendered instrumental mu-
sic of the highest order.
The orchestra of IS pieces, which
made it's initial appearance for the
season last night, was q new group of
musicians, yet with many Of the art
lists who have been the bulwark OF the
organization since it's inception four
years, ago. The Augusta Symphony
Orchestra Of this year is q well ban
anced group Of earnest musicians, and
their performance at this first public
rehearsal indicated that they were cap
able Of mastering the most difficult Of
compositions. Their rendition Of the
several march numbers on the program
last evening was a revelation Of their
power and Of what symphony group
can accomplish, without the support OF
the big horns and all the brass instru-
ments that are usually called upon for
the successful rendition Of martial
airs.
There was one incident in connection
with the concert Of Sunday evening
that was regrettable and made IT neces-
sary for Conductor Hill to say q word

Two Children Go Astray
Restored To Their Parents

Two small children from Winthrop
who came to this city with their
older sister. and then became lost,
were noticed Sunday evening about
8 o'clock at the corner of State and
Green streets by Miss Pinkham who
lives at the corner. and were taken in
while the police were notified.
Upon being questioned they gave
their names as Burns. and Fred
Burns Of Winthrop. their father was
notified and came to the city after
them. Mr.. Burns said that they left
Winthrop in company with their old
er sister to go for a ride.
1t developed that the sister who
had some errand which she desired
to do while in Augusta, told the
children to meet her on Water street
later. They could not find her and
wandered UP Green street where
they were noticed by Mrs. Pinkham.

LOCATE MISSING
AUGUSTA BOYS
AT LEWISTON

Two small Augusta boys, Adrien
Currier and Osais Turmells, both IL
years old. who have been missing
from their homes since noon Satur-
day, were apprehended late Sunday
afternoon in Lewiston. whence they
had gone, SO they said, at the invi-
tation Of q man in an automobile.
The two little boys left their homes
at noon Saturday with a cart and It
was supposed that they were going
to play as they often do. When they
did not return a search was insti-
gated but no trace of them could be
found. The father of one Of them,
thinking that they might have gone
to the dump on the east side of the
river, searched the place thoroughly
Saturday evening with lantern but
found neither the children nor the
cart.
1t was thought, however. that they
had been in the waiting room Of the
Androscoggin & Kennebec railroad,
purchasing car tickets, but this could
not be verified. AS they had friends
in Lewiston, the Lewiston police were
communicated with Saturday.
The Augusta police were notified
that the children had been found
about six o'clock Sunday evening and
the parents were at once notified and
left shortly after to bring the chill
dren home.

WHY NOT WINDHAMI
COUNTY GOVERNOR?
.Mortlake" Shows That Hart
ford and New Haven Coun-
ties Have Held Monopoly
Dy
"Mortlake"
Special Correspondence to the
Putnam Patriot

Hartford, August 20.-At the pres
ent time there are only two candidates
for the Republican nomination for
governor. They are Lieutenant Gov
ernor Hiram Bingham and Senator
John II. Trumbull of Plainville.
The home county of one is New
Haven, and that of the other Is
Hartford. The governorship has al
ternated between Hartford and New
Haven counties for twenty-five years,
and there is a growing opinion
throughout the state that another
county in the state should be given the
nomination by the Republican eonven-
ton next year. Since 1901, when
George +. Lounsbury of Ridgefield,
Fairfield County, retired from the Of
flee of chief executive, the position has
gone either to Hartford or New Haven
county. To be more precise, ii should
be said that it has gone to these coun-
ties by election in that period. IL
might be said in contradiction of this
statement that Frank B. Weeks, of
Middletown, who held the office for a
little over one year and eight months
from 1909 10 1911, was not a resident
= either Hartford or New Haven
counties. Governor Weeks filled out
the unexpired term of the late George
L. Lilley, Of Waterbury, who died in
office, but he never received the NOM
nation for the position, so that state
ment stands that no one but Hart
ford or New Haven county man has
been elected to the goyernorship in
fwenty-three years. Ii is well known
that Fairfield County will be in the
field with a candidate. Why should
Mt the nomination go to Nindham
County, which hasn't held the office in
eighty years, or to Tolland County,
which has not been the home of the
governor for ninety years? II Is thir-
ty-nine years since New London eoun-
ty-the other eastern eounty-gave
the state a governor, and a good one
he was too, "Tome Waller.
There is reason to think that J..
Henry Roraback, the chairman of the
Republican State Central Committee,
and Attorney General Frank +. Healy,
will be together in the political cam
paign of next year that will precede
the holding of the Republican conven-
tons.
The two political parties viii hold
two state conventions in 1924, one in
the spring to elect delegates TO the
national convention, and the other in
the fall 70 nominate a state ticket. The
Importance Of the opposition Of Gov
ernor Templeton TO the Rorabaek ad-
ministration is 60 be taken at consid-
cradle discount. II the relations be-
tween the governor and the general
assembly were not pleasant at the last
session. the governor should blame
the constitution of the state and not
the legislators. The latter simply ex-
ercised the power which the eenstite-
ton gave them and. BY the same tok-
en-. ii was by the exercise of the au-
thority given the governor by the
same instrument that started the trou-
Bile. But there is nothing to show that
the state organization did anything to
encourage the breach between the ex-
