His name, please?
Earl Whitehill.
His occupation?
Pitcher for the Washington
Griffmen.
His references, or accomplish
mentS?
Waal, he pitched seven and
tWo-thirds innings yesterday and
by his efforts, gave every indica
ton that he is gradually round
ing into the form that was his
during the hectic season of 1888
when he won % games.
Yesterday he had the New
York Yankees as his opponents.
He had to face such batters as
Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Tony
Lazzeri and Bill Dlckey

All told he held the Yanks to
eight hits. He kept these bingles
scattered with the exception of
the fourth, sixth and eighth in.
nings, as in these frames the
Yanks scored their first three
runs.
Now, the morale of this yarn
is this. Earl promises to be a
big aid to the Griffs this year,
if his efforts of yesterday mean
anything at all. He .hoWed that
he is about ready to go from
the first word-nine innings,
Whitehill's pitching, incident
ally, was not the only thing that
was encouraging about the Griffs
yesterday. Joe Kuhel appeared
as if he was in midseason
fettle at bat, Buddy Myer gave
indications that he is slowly
coming out of his batting slump,
while Cecil Travis continued to
keep Ossie Bluege ION the
bench" so to speak, by his excel
lent hitting and fielding.
KuheI Gets Three
KuheIs efforts with the flail
netted him three hits in five trips
to the plate. Myers work re-
suited in two hits beside his name
in five appearances, while Travis
efforts found that lad gathering
a single and double, both Of which
came at times when men were on
the bases.
The game, on the whole, was
decidedly "all Washington" until
the Yanks went on their batting
splurge in the ninth. Before this
frame, Cronin's gang fought back
each time the McCarthymen tiec
the score-even to the extent OF
going two up in the run-totalins
by scoring twice in the sixth.
But Lazzeri's triple, Dickey'S
double, Heffner's life on RuSsell'H
error and Rulings homer
changed the aspect of the contest
suddenly in that ninth.

TOWN PLANNING
 BOOTH BIRTHDAY
Ste Genevieve. MissOuri's Oldest, Set for Big
 Celebration

Ste. Gonevievc. Mo.-(UP)-Ste. Genevieve, Missouri's oldest town. Is making preparations for It's 2OOth birthday In August, 1885.
 Tho quaint old town on the banks of the Mississippi River Is brimwul with tradition and history. There Is still much to recall It's first anniversary and the handful of French settlers who founded the town.
 The original Ste. Genevleve, known by the name of "Le Vieux Village" (the old town), was situ- ated three miles south of the pres ont Ste. Genevieve.
 In l7S4 the Mississippi, In an overflow never since equalled, swept over the country from bluff and Improvements In the valley, its present site in what was known as "Le Grand Champ" (the mig held), and has remained.
 There are many homes here still In use that were built in 17S4 and they are easily distingushable ny their French architectural style The inhabitants at that time were all Cotholics and that Is true of 9G per cent of the townspeople now
 Almost in the heart of the town Is the cemetery, which was part of the Spanish grant to the church It was used as a burial grounl up to 1883 and monuments to the old pioneers, not only of Ste. Gene vieve but of the whole western frontier, all with epitaphs in Branch, are slowly crumbling.

 The Golden Text Is from Isaiah 40:11: "He shall feed his flock like a shepherds he shall gather the lambs with his arm. and carry them in his bosom, and shall gently lead those that are with young"
 Bible readings include the fol- lowing passages from l John 2tD- II: "He that saith he is In the light, and hateth his brother, Is in dark ness even until now. He that lov- eth his brother abideth in the light and there Is none occasion of stumbling in him. But hc that hat eth his brother Is In darkness, and walkoth In darkness, and knoweth not whithor he goeth, because that darkness hath blinded his eyes"
 Correative readings from the Christian Science textbook, "Sci- ence and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, include the following: When we realize that there is one Mind, the divine law of loving our neighbor as ourselves Is unfolded; whereas a belief In many ruling minds flinders mans normal drift towards the one Mind, one God, and leads human thought into opposite channels where scflishncss rcigns. ..

 The International U n or n Sunray school lesson for Aug. 5.
BY VIM. F. GlIROY, D. D. Editor of Advance

The solution of social problems, especially us they affect the individual in financial pressure and hardship, would be easy if 1t could be met in every case with the miraculous power exercised by Elisha in the story that con stitutes the major part of our les son.
 The situation Is simple and one that has been, unfortunately too often repeated In the history or every society.
 A woman had lost her husband by death, and a creditor was pressing for settlement of debts. The age permitted some practices that are no longer In use today, and the creditor had come to take the womnns two sons ns bonds- mon unll the debt should be paid.
 In her distress she appealed to Elisha, and Elisha, cording to the ancient story, solved her problem by a miracle, She had In her house only a pot of oil slight thing that intervened be. tween her and complete poverty
 Nevertheless, Elisha told her to go and borrow vessels from her ncighbors. empty vessels and many of them. Then to shut the door upon herself and her sons and to pour the oil into the ves-

LAWYERS FIGHT ALABAMA'S PLAN
Barristers Criticize Ban Prohibiting 0ut-of.
 TOwners to Practice

Birmingham. Ala (UP)-A con templated legislative enactment to prohibit out-of-state attorneys from practice in Alabama courts has drawn criticism from barris- ters.
 The bill is proposed by Eugene Connor, newly elected legislator, and would be submitted at the 1885 assembly. Connor explains that the bill is aimed at attorneys representing the nine Negro defendants in the Scottsboro assault case. None of the International Labor Defense counsel in the case belongs to the Alabama Bar association, Connor asserts.
 A. Leo Oberdorfer, recently re- tired president of the state bar association, voiced opinion that such matters should be left to the courts rather than to the lesisla- ture.
 Connor said his bill would be modelled after a purported Ohio

sels, setting them aside as they were filled.
 The woman did as she was told, and us the oil was poured out 1t increased until all the ves- sels were filled, though even more were brought. As she came joyfully to tell Elisha what had happened. he told her to go and sell tho oil, pay the debt, and maintain her children with the balance.
 It Is a beautiful story which we wish might be applied very di- rectly to all such problems. Un- fortunately, the method does not seem available, and there Is little hope that we can help nocessitous widows and other needy people today through such miraculous means.
 Nevertheless, the story has Il deeper significance than might appear. Deeply written In the record Is the prophe's profound sytmpahy with the woman and his willingness to help her.
 If there were everywhere the samN sympathy with the dis- tressed. needy. and oppressed. and the willingness to help them. considering oil the resources of our modern life, the things avail able for such help would corre- spond very truly to the cruse of oil that never failed.
 Though the powers that God offers us for solution of our social problems today are not mira culous, they are so abundant, If we are only following God's way and are obedient to his will, that not even this amazing story could over-represent the increas- Ing fruitfulness and productivity of the means of ministration.
 Along with this Is e story of tho increase of loaves of barley bread and full ears of corn that corresponds in some respects to the story in the New Testiment to the miraculous feeding of Ave thousand.
 Here again, though we may not expect to sec such miracles repeated in our modern society, the stories suggest the mex haustible powers and resources with which God has endowed us in nature and life. if we will but make use of these means in Gods way. with the courage of those who above all things are devoted to the doing of his will and to the service of humanity in love and ministration.

Lads Passwork Good,
 But Cop Intercepts
Planclothesman Asked to Buy Stolen Umbrella-Irio
 Apprehended and Put on Probation

Almost uncanny passwork Is a big help in the field of sport but it's not so good in the realm of crime, three local youngsters found out this morning when they were placed oh probation for theft of an umbrella.
 The trio, If they can find two more youngsters us good Ut passing as they arc, should be able to form one fine basketball team next win ter. Tho operations, us they de- scribe them, nave tho speed of light.
 The three, tho oldest Is, was walking up East Main street one day recently, with nothing on any of their minds. They spied an umbrella In a doorway and three sets of eyes glistened with eaeer- ness. There was a good movie just down tho street, they thought, and if they could sell the umbrella they'd all be able to regalo them- selves with 10-cent tickets and watch their favorite cinema hero and heroine.
 Quickly they organized and murshalled their forced. The first grabbed tho umbrella, passed 1t to the second and then strolled blithe- ly on. The second raced around a corner and gave the umbrella to the third, then likewise ambled

HAITI EVACUATED
 BY U. 5. MARINES
"Leathernecks" Establish Constabulary to Pre-
 serve Peace

Philadelphia, Pa. Aug 4.-After nineteen years of occupation, the U. s. marines are evacuating the 130-year-old Republic of Hayti, and expect to complete the with- drawal not later than August 15.
 The Haytians, according to re- ports, are showing but very little interest In the withdrawal of the marines. which are returning to the states on the U. S. S. bridge, U. S. $. Argonne and the Army Transport Chateau Thierry.
 The "Leathernecks" mission was one of peace, but they saw plenty of action, from time to time, in the jungles and mountains.
 When tho "Sea Soldiers first landed, sanitation was unknown. nnd education was only for the rul- Ing classes while, today, school houses are In abundance. roads are In good condition. public health Is accepted by the natives as q necessity, and the financial struc- ture has been well stabilized.
 Columbus discovered the Island In 1492, and the racial stock comes from negro slaves introduced by the spanish in 1512.
 Hayti occupies 1O,20O square miles of the 29,000 square mile island shared with the Republic of Santo Domingo. Saddle Mountain reaches q height of S,700 feet above sea level, and Cuba Is 50 miles west. About 80 per cent of It's 2.500.000 population live in country districts with the capital Port au Prince, of 100000 popuia- ton. az center of activity.
 Hayti has had twenty-four presl dents; seventeen were driven from office. two were assassinated and eleven have served less than q year each.
 One of the first acts of the "Lcathernecks" was to establish q native constabulary. the Garde d Hayti. which will now have the task of preserving peace.

nonchalantly back to East Main street. Number three cut between two cars, crossed the street and put the umbrella in car which had It's door open. It was all done in little more than an instant.
 Joining on East Main street, the trio walked down the side street, gathered up the umbrella from the car, and went off with their loot.
 They had tho umbrella all right, they realized, but now 1t had to be turned into cash if they were to go to the movies, A kindly faced man was coming along and three quickly interchanged glanees showed an unanimlty of opinion that here was q certain buyer.
 But alas for their hopes. In less than a minute the youngsters found that tho kindly-faced man was a policeman, that they were accused of theft and that they certainly wouldn't see that movie now.
 All that now remains Is for Miss Kathleen Crowley, Juvenile proba- ton officer, to utilize the young- sters' passing skill in something other than stolen umbrellas. Miss Crowley, who has put many more criminally inclined youngsters on the straight and narrow, intimated this morning that shed try basket ball

Al-City Tinge To
 Fall Election Sure
J. Joseph Smith to Oppose E. W. GOss-Winsted
 Democrats and Judge GOrmley Endorse Former

November The all Waterbury tinge to the election has been free ly predicted, but 1t was only this week that it loomed as a real cer. tainty.
 Tie events on which Smith cam paign leaders and packers base their claims are these. Winsted's democracy has endorsed the Wa terbury candidate through it's town chairman, William Brennan. In speaking for the town commit tee Mir Brennan also speaks for considerable part of the 31st sem atorial district of which Winsted Is the largest town.
 Within the past ten days at public gathering Judge Martin Gormley ,of Naugatuck, who was the unsuccessful candidate of tho democratic party in 1880 and 1882. declared for the second time that he would not seek the nomination this year but would support the man the democrats picked when then convened at Torrington late in the summer.
 The Naugatuck mans complete withdrawal from the pre-conven- ton fight and the endorsement of Major Smith from Winsted seems to warrant him sufficient support in both the New Haven and Litch- field county ends of tho district as to insure his nomination.
 A recent check-up through such valley towns us Thomaston, Tor. rington, Naugatuck, Beacon Falls, Ansonia and Derby revealed that tho smith candidacy is favorably received. West of the valley, Nor ris, salisbury, Lakeville, New Mill ford and other places are likewise regarded as being partial to or practically committed to the Wa terburY mans candidacy.
 A reliable estimate compiled this week at the smith headquarters In this city revealed that on paper the local candidate seemed assured ut the present time of slightly over 90 per cent of the delegates. It is not expected that any change of events will materially affect the present line-up.
