Dirkin made an effort, struggled to
his hands and knees, and then with

Every man in the press box, re-
membering Terry's previous scoop,
raced from the box and made for the
field. Terry waited moment to let
them 60, and as soon as the box was
cleared he called his ONCE and said:
"It looks like q second murder up
here. The man is Durkin, star hitter
on the Chicago team. don't know
what happened, but he knocked out
beautiful homer and then ran
amuck away from first base. Buck
Hansen brought him down with a
flying tackle. If you don't hear from
me in five minutes, run q special

on his face. Terry raced after the
other reporters.
A great crowd overfowed on the
field. In moment Hansen and Dir
kin were surrounded, hemmed In on
all sides by great black mass Of
people. The club doctor pried his
way through the mass and whipped
out his stethoscope. There was no
deep red spot on Dirkin's shirt to tell
what had happened to him. There
was nothing but a smudge Of dirt or
his neat uniform as the doctor un-
i buttoned the shirt and listened for
the heart beat. He put the cup OF
his instrument all over Dirkin's chest
and then stood up looking at the wall
Of people surrounding him.

edges of the crowd, trying to pry their

slowed up at first, but when he saw
that they were making the play on
Brown at third, some reason or other
prompted him to think he could
advance to second. Head down and
legs pounding, he started out and
tried hook slide into the bag. When
the dust cleared away, he found the
grinning Dirkin was holding the ball
on him and the ump had already
wagged him out by q mile.
The stands went wild. The Blues
were up to their old tricks again. A
swell break. only to have 1t turned
into a feeble rally by dint Of dumb
base running. With a gesture of dis
| gust, Buck threw q handful of dust
in the air and brushed himself off as
he regained his feet and ran out to
pick up his glove in center field.
The tension was high in the eighth
as Higgins toed the rubber. Lefty
was visibly nervous, but he managed
to scrape out unscathed and the
teams went into the last half of the
eighth deadlocked Then, in the
widest part of an amazing game,
Shorty Dugan, the utility man who
had taken Larry's place, rifled a
homer into the short left field stands,
putting the Blues one ahead. The
din was terrific. The game has all
the bitterness and heat of mid
season pennant race. The next man
up struck out and the Butchers went
to bat for the ninth.
The success of the game from the
Chicago point Of view depended on
Dirkin, their chief slugger
Dirkin went to bat first. If
there was ever a time when the
Butchers needed a home run, it was
at that moment. Every eye was on
Dirkin as he paved the dirt and
swung his bat. Higgins let 60. There
was a sharp resounding smack and
the ball scared far out into the right
| field bleachers for a home run. All
eyes left Dirkin and followed the ball
for a fraction Of minute, and then
there was great cry as Dirkin, run
ming wide at first, continued a mad,
drunken dash away from the dia-
mond, away from first on down the
field. The two men called to him, the
Blues players stared in amazement, and
then Hansen in center field ran over
and tackled Dirkin. bringing him to

"I thought Pop would have got rid
of him long ago." Bill Hover puffed.
'I thought Doyle was still out"
Reynolds commented.
mo, he was put out for only two
days. Mullins answered. "I think
Doyle has the old man buffaloed."
Don't you worry about that" Doc
Biers cut in. Doyle will wake up
some morning and find himself back
IN the minors or I'll miss my guess"
In the first inning, with one out and
two men on, Crawford, the Butchers
first baseman, lifted a short fly back
of second base. Buck Hansen was
playing in close and at the crack Of
the oat he raced forward and pulled
off a lovely shoestring catch. Smith
of the Butchers was fast man and
thought he could take liberties with
and then flew down to third. Buck
got the ball away like a bullet and
beat the runner by about a foot as
he thundered into the bag. The crowd
went wild. 1t was beautiful catch,
with a swell peg to top it of. 1t
looked as though the Blues at least
could play heads-up base ball.
The Blues failed to score in their
half of the first and the second inning
was likewise scoreless for both sides.
Dick Collins. the sturdy right-hander
of the Chicago gang, was matching
Lefty Higgins pitch for pitch.
In the third, the Butchers got to-
gether and with their heavy end up
they pecked away and got two runs.
Higgins went along all right after
that until the sixth. He walked Dir
kin. the Slugger from the Chicago
South Side. The next man up also
walked. The crowd didn't like it,
and told the ump about it in no un-
certain measure. The fourth ball
looked as though it had cut the out
side of the plate for the third strike.
Then the Butchers sacrificed. and
with Dirkin on third, Larry muffed a
slow, lazy roller. Dirkin crossed the
plate standing up.
1t certainly looked bad for the
Blues. with the score three to nothing
Larry was taken out. He was
pretty sore about it and showed it.
He wandered around like a Gagged

"HE Blues returned to New York
on Saturday for short three
game series with the Butchers
L. from Chicago, who were just
starting their Eastern trip. The
Blues we're fourth in the league stand
ing. the highest they had been for
several seasons at this time of the year.
The ST. Louis Rubes were perched on
top and playing pretty fair ball out
through the West. They. too. were
beginning their Eastern invasion with
a series up in Boston against the hap
less Indians.
The Chicago Butchers were in Sec
ond place, and the Cleveland team a
few percentage points behind. At this
stage of the race position didn't count
for much. 1t was too early to tell
anything about the eventual outcome
of the pennant race. A few percentage
points right down the line meant very
little one way or another.
From the preseason dope. the
Butchers should have been a cinch to
sweep this series with the Blues. But
so many weird and uneXplainable
things had already taken place during
the short run of the season that the
betting although favoring the Butch
ers slightly, wasn't very heavy. The
gamblers around town seemed content
to adopt a watching policy before lay
ing any odds. There was an air of
heavy uncertainty around the park at
game time. The capacity throng was
still jamming through the turnstiles as
the press box boys filtered in and took
their accustomed places.
We'll. here we are again" Craven
said as he pushed past Doc Biers and
banged his portable down before his
seat. Say, will you look at the mob!"
"A bunch of ghouls!" Doc Biers
erunted sourly. They don't want to
see a ball game"
The Butchers ought to clean up on
this gang Of imposters.' Craven
started to chew the end of cigar.
II still maintain that there are only
two real ball players on the whole
Blues team"
"DoyleS going to play" Mullins an
nounced this with a sly look toward
Terry.

BY FAILURE TO FILE

No estimate was available today
of the number of Indiana persons
who will lose their vote next Tues

that voters who have moved from

concurred. Governor Paul V. Nc
Mutt was not consulted.
In the case of voters who moved
from one county to another cleo
ton laws required a transfer and
revocation of the original regis
tration.
Voters who have moved from
one address to another within a

qualified under the ruling, Mr..

ABSTINENCE CREDITED
FOR HEARTY YEARS
AS MAN PASSES 90

Total abstinence from Intoxicating
liquors and tobacco is one certain
way of living to ripe, healthy old
age, according to George w. Nave,
senior member Of the firm of Graves,
Nave 81 Co., livestock handlers. Mr..
Graves passed the -four score years
and ten mark last night.
Naturally my health has been
exceptionally, good" declares Mr..
Nave, whose sparkling eyes and
ruddy cheeks belle his 80 years. Il
have never INDUCED in dissipation
of any kind. For relaxation, 1 go
to my Boone county farm. When
I'm not at the farm, I'm visiting
around with customers at the stock
yards"
It was at Mr.. Nave's farm, seven
miles east of Lebanon, last night
that twenty-five members of his
firm, including his son, Christian c..
Nave, 5401 Central avenue, and his
daughter, Miss Mary L. Nave, who
lives with her father at 400 North
Meridian street, gathered to tender
a surprise birthday party to the man
who is aged in years alone. The
festivities were a great success, for
Mr.. Nave was ignorant of the plans
of his well-wishers up until the last
minute.
Mr.. Nave was born Oct. 81, 1874, in
Danville, son of a prominent attor-
ney of his day. He is Civil war
veteran and makes a point of being
at the old soldier Memorial day
celebration at Danville every year.
He is also a former Hendricks coun-
ty treasurer.
