Vic Aldridge registered his seventh
consecutive victory when he trimmed
the Dodgers, and brought an end to
the losing streak Of the Pirates, which
had reached four games.
George Grantham, former Cub, who
figured last winter in the trade which
sent Aldridge and himself to the Pr
rates, has developed into a dangerous
hitter. He smashed out three blows,
one n double in the, attack on the
Dodger twirlers, and took a big part
in PittsSurgh's win, ---.
Max Carey, flcet-foot fly chaser of
the Pirates, is Iimbering up for the
fall baseball classic, should the Pr
rates continue out in front and win.
He cut loose with two stolen bases
yesterday, and smashed out two hits,
stretching one of them for three
bases.
"Sad Sam" Jones of the Yankees let
the Athletics down with two hits, while
his mates clipped off six hits for a
victory which gave Higgins men an
even split on the six-game series with
the Mackmen.
Jones' failure to cover first base in
the sixth inning gave Mickey COchrane
of the Athletics a hit and deprived
the Yankee pitcher of a one-hit game.
Red" Holt, Jersey City International
League star, made the other hit, which
was a real blow, in the seventh frame.
81
Babe" Ruth, Yankee slugger. who
has been smashing the cover off the
ball since his reinstatement, failed to
get blow in two times at bat against
the Athletics twirlers. ......,-..
Connie Mack shot eighteen men into
the game in an effort to halt the Yam
kess, but Sam Jones was too good
for the Athletics. Five of the re-
serves went in as unsuccessful pinch
hitters.
The st. Louis Cardinals picked UP
a sensational hitter when they acquired
Homer Peel. youthful outficlder from
the Houston Texas League club. Peel's
batting has been one Of the features
of the club this season. Houston is
to receive several players in exchange
for him.

DRINKS POISON In
BILLINGS SATURDAY

Mrs. Mary A. Davis of Washoe died
at st. Vincent's Hospital in Billings
Saturday afternoon after taking four
ounces of solution of corrosive sub
Innate with suicidal intent, occasioned
through dependency over i'll health.
Mrs. Davis left Washoe last Thurs
day to visit with friends in Billings
and registered at one of the Billings
hotels. Her son, Tom Davis, Washoe
miner, went to Billings Saturday and
Joined his mother at her hotel. Just
before noon he asked her to lunch with
him but she told him that she had q
two o'clock engagement SO he left the
hotel for the barber shop, later he ate
his tlunch alone and went back to the
hotel but his mother was not there.
Thinking she had gone out to keep
her appointment he went to the after
noon matinee at one of the Billings
theatres.
Shortly before noon Mrs. Davis left
the key to her room at the desk and
seemed to be in good spirits. At 1890
she was found in drainage ditch near
the fairgrounds at point opposite the
Yellowstone Creamery, with her lips
and mouth badly burned and suffering
intense pain. She was taken to the
city police station and on the way at
tempted to swallow another dose Of
the poison. She was rushed to the
hospital but her condition grew stead
lily worse until death came at 2:45.
At the hospital she was too sick and
weak to give any explanation of her
act. Her son was not located until she
passed away.
Mrs. Davis was brought to Red
Lodge Monday. Funeral services were
held from the Downward Funeral Par
lors yesterday at one-thirty. Mrs.
Sigourney of Billings had charge of
the services and Mrs. Huebner Of
Belfry had charge of the hymns, In
terment was made in the Red Lodge
cemetery. The deceased is survived
by her son Thomas Davies; daugh-
ter, Mrs. Archie Browning Of Washoe;
and brother John d. James of Iowa,
who arrived in the city for funeral
services.
Mrs. Davis was born in Oliphant,
Pennsylvania, and was 55 years old at
the time of her death. She lived in
Iowa and Billings for a time before
moving to Washoe in 1915.
Pail bearers were ID. G. K. Beatzer,
David Thomas, Thad Pound, George
Six, Elmer Price and Walter Murrie.

D0.9ee say YES--they consider the

the dryest city In America. Only 36co
out in Denver are dissatisfied with
present conditions, 31ed say the law Ii
not enforced there; and only the very
small number 17.9eo think that the
law Is not enforceable.
The vote does show, that the driest
states are those which had statewide
prohibition many years before Fed
