Rip Collins led off in the third
with two.bagger out over Goose
Goslin's head advancing on Haney's
sacrifice. Heinie Mamush brought
him over with a clean single to
right. The Griffs looked in a bad

mans fly ball and Mogridge es.
capped having more than one run
scored against him. In the fourth
the Jungle Cats scored their second
and final tally. This time Topper
Rigney opened with a double out
between McNeely and Rice. Pratt's
neat sacrifice put him on third base
and Blackie O'Rourke's crashing
single to left scored him. Larry
Woodall followed with a single, but
once more a double play came to
Mogridge's aid and the Jungle Cats
were stopped with that lone tally.
Muddy Ruel got the first hit off
Collins in the third, standing on
first and watching the next three
blokes perish in a vain effort to
advance him. Bluege walked in
the fifth and Rice singled in the
sixth but not till the seventh did
the Griffs look likely to count any
runs.
With one gone in that seventh
Ossie Bluege poled single to
right field, streaking 1t around to
third when Roger Peckinpaugh
showed a hot one past O'Rourkc
to right field. With runners on
first and third and one gone the
Griffs figured Collins would blow
up. King Cole was warming up
out in left field and Cobb was pre-
pairing to hank his right handler
and send in his southpaw substi-
tute. It was all up to Muddy Rrol
ard 1t was too much for that same
Muddy. He rolled to O'Rourke,
starting a double play and the
Grtffs had failed.

Il Paid Him to Advertise

One of the most persistent ad-
vertisers in the history of success
was Robinson Crusoe. He knew
what he wanted-and he put up
an advertisement for one. He
flung a shirt on a pole, at the
top of his island, that, in the
language of the sea, was plain to
every sea-faring man.
The circulation was small
there was no other medium but
Crusoe kept at it, despite the
fact that he got no inquiries for
a long time. He changed his
copy-as one garment after an
other was frayed out-and in the
end got What he wanted.
Suppose Crusoe had taken down
that signal after a time and de-
clared- Advertising doesn't pay"
where would he and his story be
now?
Put up your signal and keep it
there. Crusoe advertised under
very discouraging circumstances.
You've got sure thing-it is only
necessary to have the patience,
persistence, and pluck of Robin
son Crusoe-and the good ship
Better Business" will soon tie up
longside your pier.

IL is not alone in financial matters that the Republican party has made credit able record in the administration of the affairs of the state In tho pre- vision 1t has made for the care of the indigent, the sick and the help less it showed that 1t was in full sym pathy with the humanitarian prin. eipies of Connecticut and desirous of giving them full scope.

 Republican Platform
 The platform adopted at the Re- publican state convention comments itself to the sober-minded and thoughtful citizens of the state. lt, in its declaration of principles and policies, is a fitting complement of the national platform adopted at Cleveland. It showed good sense il. not mentioning the passing outbreak of religious and racial fanatieism which ia disturbing the social har mony of the people and distracting their policies. This fanatieism is simply an incident which reeurs about every twenty-five years to dis turb the plaeidity which had become monosonous. IL is suggestive fact that it had it's origin in section of the country where democracy is su- preme and Republieanism so objee- tionable to the people that it Is a social offense and political blunder. IL is of passing interest to note that the opposition to the suggestion that was made at the meeting of the com mittee on resolutions for the adoption of plank, specifically denouneing the organization which Is held responsible for the injection of the disturbing
 
 element in to the politics of the state. should come from persons who were representatives of the religions to which the organization is antagonistic The convention did better than to take notice of the organization which is passing. and already on the decline by emphasizing the importance of protection to American industries, and of putting into effect policies which make for the we'll being of the people and for their domestic comfort The Republican party in this state has every reason to be satisfied with the political situation II indicates the success of the Re publican ticket at the polls in Novem- Der and the continuance of the Re- publican party as the dominant poll teal organization in the state.
