PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 80.
It's a long Rowe that has no
turning and the 6 feet Az
inches of Lynwood Thomas
Rowe came to his in the sun
shine and shadows of old Shibe
Park here yesterday afternoon.
Before the second game Of a
seething, slapstick double-head-
er between Mickey Cochrane's
Detroit Tigers and Connie
Mack's Philadelphia Athletics
was over, Rowe was in the show
ers and his hopes Of a seven
tenth straight record pitching
victory were in the soup.

pot soup, to be exact, for the AS
laid the wood on Lynwood right
under the guns and had him on
the ropes as early as the fifth
inning. Maybe they'd never

Anyhow, they flayed him and
they failed him, as Mr.. klpl1ng
used to say when he was a base
ball writer in India, and the way
the thing finally turned out,
the Schoolboy was lucky to get
out of there with his life, much
less a seventeenth successive VIC

The schoolboy wonder from

the start-to the Athletics. So
that it was soon apparent that
If he was going to set up any
new American League records
on this particular and pleasant
afternoon, the tearing Tigers
from dear old Detroit were going
to have to knock in plenty OF
runs behind him. Unfortunately
the mauling Mickeymen from
the Great Lakes had expended
their heaviest ammunition in a
first game that saw them home
on the long end Of a II to z
score.
About all they had left for the
Schoolboy in the nightcap were
their winning smiles, and so the
White Elephants tramped over
him and his winning streak to
the tune of 10 to 5. If Cochrane
had elected to pitch Rowe in
that first game there might
have been a different story.

 To Honor Moore Monday
 It looks as if Waterville will be more or less deserted village dur ing the late afternoon on Monday, for nearly everyone is planning to attend the game at Hamilton park to assist in honoring Johnny Moore, native of Waterville, who is making good in big way in professional baseball. He will per- form in his regular position with the Philadelphia Nationals in their game against the City League All Stars.
 This is the first opportunity Johnny's friends and neighbors have had to honor him since he entered major league baseball and apparently they are all eager to participate in the event in some manner.
 Johnny, yesterday, for the first time in his career, entered the charmed. circle of the six leading
 hitters in the major league. His home run and single against the New York Giants at the Polo Grounds boosted his average to .346. He accounted for all of the Phillies three runs scoring one and batting in two. He ranks in third place among the National League batsmen.

 "TRUTH" will be the subject of the Lesson-Sermon.
 The Golden Text is from Psalms 25:5: Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do wait all the day"
 Bible readings include the fol- lowing passages from Daniel g:g. II to 13: ITO the Lord our God belong mercies and forgive nesg, though we have rebelled against him. Yea, all Israel have transgressed thy law, even by departing, that they might not obey thy voice. As it is writ ten in the law of Moses, all this evil is come upon us: yet made we not our prayer before the Lord our God, that we might turn from our iniquities, and understand thy truth"
 selections from the Christian Science. textbook, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, include the following citation from page 273: 2-7: There is no material truth. The physical senses can take no cognizance of God and spiritual Truth. Human belief has sought out many inventions, but not one of them can solve the problem of being without the divine Principle of divine Science. The spirit ual sense of truth must be gained before Truth can be understood. This sense is assimilated only as we are honest, unselhsh, loving, and meek" (page PIP: 3-5).

O'Leary To Remain
 In Shrievality Race
Local Constable Determined to Seek Nomination
 Withdrew Four Years Ago for Harmony

Constable James E. O'Leary in tossing his hat into the race for nomination on the democratic ticket for the office of high sher- if of New Haven county today said, This time I'm in to stay" It will be recalled that four years ago, the local constable withdrew his name from consideration at the shrievality convention because he wanted to maintain harmony within the party.
 He is out this year for the nom- ination but lets it be known in no uncertain terms that he is in the race to the end.
 Constable O'Leary points out that there never has been time when Waterbury had high sheriff of New Haven county chosen from the democratic party. The present incumbent, James Geddes of New Haven was Waterbury man at the time, of his appointment by former Governor Charles A. Tenn pleton, but Sheriff Geddes, MT. O'Leary points out is enrolled in the republican party.
 Constable O'Leary withdrew from the race four years ago in favor of James Hugo, of New IVa- ven who ran unnecessarily against Sheriff Geddes.

Committee Seeks Aid
 Of Local Housewives
City Host to Hundreds of Visiting Bremen Donations
 of Home Cooking Would Aid Nicely

The state firemen's association convention here August 17th and 18th will be an occasion for Q req Oid-time community celebration one in which the whole city lends q hand of cooperation and then proceeds to enjoy itself, according to plans of the fire department committee in charged.
 One of the real community angles of the celebration is found zn the fact that the local depart znent requests housewives and merchants of the city to help the local fire-laddies feed their guests. Housewives particularly can help great deal in making the 51st state convention a huge success by preparing and sending in any quantities of cooked foods.
 Donations of Home Cooking
 It is well remembered by older Waterburians that on past fire convention days this plan was fol- lowed with great success. House. wives from every section of the city flooded the department with cakes, pies, baked beans and all most every conceivable type of cooked food. It Is hpoed that next month will witness the same gen. uine and hearty support of an en- terprise that will make Waterbury the center of state fire department activities for two whole days and will undoubtedly be talked of for months thereafter.
 The housewives of Waterbury can be of real service to the com munity, says the committee in charge, by donating cooked food of any description. There will be several thousand firemen here as Waterbury's guests and the Brass City smoke-eaters want to treat their guests to some real home cooking. It is a huge undertaking but the local department feels cer- tain that Waterbury will show its appreciation of having the con- yention here by doing all in its power to dazzle visiting regulars and volunteers with classic Brass City cooking.
 Community Spirit
 The whole two-day session will be permeated with the community spirit, reaching it's climax in the August IS parade and its attendant Festivities. It will be perhaps the most spectacular parade that Wa terbury has ever witnessed, with scores of fire engines, old and new, more than a dozen brass bands and

Sunday School Lesson-- MICAIAH SPEAKS THE TRUTH

much the same words.
 Ahab apparently sensed the fact that Micaiah was mocking him, and then Micaiah dared immedi- ately to speak out the truth, tell ing him that his armies would be scattered and that his own life would be lost.
 Instead of listening to him. Ahab only turned to Jehoshaphat and said, Did I not tell thee that he would prophecy no good concern ing me, but evil?"
 The two kings went up to battle. and it turned out as Micaiah had predicted. They suffered most in glorious defeat. Jehoshaphat was killed in the battle, and Ahab, who had discarded his kingly robes, was killed by an arrow shot at a ven- ture as he tried to escape.
 Did Micaiah have divine insight into what was to happen? Fossil bly, but not necessarily. It does not always require more than the judgment of an honest and clear seeing man to predict disaster when he sees the sort of men who are in control.
 This story of truth-telling and tragedy has, manifestly, its lessons for our own time.

thousands of regular and volunteer firemen in uniform.
 A big feature will be the ap- pearance of several old time fire companies, from here and else where, in the gay uniforms of the Eighties and Nineties. Surprise after surprise is being planned to make the parade the greatest one of it's kind that Connecticut has ever seen.
 Waterbury, if smoothly progress ing plans work out to complete satisfaction, will turn back the pages of time for two days to live again the days of old that now seem so simple and carefrec.
