this, for l suppose it was his

me to try to manage through

real test. The little town where

Chicago Takes First and
Final Tits; Visitors Rout
Powell to Cop Twin Bill

lead at the beginning of the sixth.
Creacy banged a triple, Seay
walked and Carter sacrificed to
score Creacy. The Giants refused
to be outdone and evened the count
at four-all when Redus and Davis
singled and Larry Brown, batting
for catcher Byas, walked to fill
the sacks. Mathews was unable to
pull himself out of danger and
forced in a run by passing Marsh
all.
Philips Open Rally
Neither team was able to score
during the seventh and eighth in
nings. Powell appeared as though
he was ready to pitch air-tight
ball but was soon on his way to
the dugout when Seay hit dou-
BILE. An ageement was made be-
tween the two teams that the first
side to score would win the game,
but since the Philips scored seven
runs in the ninth the only natural
thing to do would be to give the
Giants a chance to catch up.
Foster was called on the mound
and walked the first two men to
face him. This was enough for
Foster and Cornelius came in. The
Philadelphia sluggers were still
swinging mean bats and Cornelius
had yielded two singles. two dou-
bles and a walk before he could
even get his bearings. The Giants
made another lone run in the last
half of the ninth on double by
Wells and a single by Steanes.
Philadelphia 100 Ill 007-11
Chicago OIL 101 001-5
Mondays Game
The American Giants just could
not be stopped in Mondays game
and the South siders hammered
four Philadelphia hurlers for 10
hits, including home runs in the
sixth inning by Turkey Stearns
and Mule Suttles to give the lat
ter total of two homers for the
series. Chicago won 1871.
The Giants scored runs in every
inning with the exception of the
eighth and third. The Philips
scored their only tally in the third
inning when Stevens singled and
scored on Paige's double to left
center.
Chicago made six runs in the
sixth inning as Larry Brown led
off with a single, o. Brown fol
lowed with a single and Marshall
hunted to load the bases. Wells
smacked out a single scoring
Brown and Jones. Stearnes lifted
the ball over the fence to score
Marshall and Wells. Wilson, Phil
adelphia first sacker, replaced
o. Jones on the mound, and the
second ball pitched to Suttles was
knocked out of the park for a Sec
ond homer.

married women when thew sought
jobs of their own
Working isn't a thing you can
decide off hand like the letters in
your paper try to do. I still say
that married women should stay
in the homes, and especially when
they have families. On the other
hand, when the married woman
finds that the man she married
isn't Tending for her and her chill
dren, when they need things that
they don't have simply because
man won't take the responsibility,
woman has to swallow her pride
and her lack of knowledge and
training, and make a place for
herself. 1t is case of choosing
between two evils, when she is
placed in a predicament like that,
and a mother really has no choice
when it comes to the welfare of
her children.
Women, stay in your homes if
you can. If your children need
you or your husband won't should
err his responsibilities, go to work
with a bang. You may lose your
husband, but you won't really
have time to miss him.
Yours with a vengeance,
Mae McShann.

drove out a single scoring Wilson
and Mackey. The next three men
up were retired in order. Powell
led off in the seventh with single
and advanced to second when
Marshall was given base on
balls. This was the first walk
Mandel allowed the Giants. Mar
shall was out trying to steal sec
ond and Radcliffe and Wells
grounded out to end the seventh.
Paige Hits Triple
With two men on in the 9Th in
ming Paige tripled to right scoring
the PHILIPS last two runs of the
game. The Giants fell short of a
9th inning rally when Jim Brown,
batting for Larry Brown, was de-
prived of a possible triple by a
running one-handed catch by
White in deep left field. Powell
ended the game when he hit into a
double puay.

Second Game
Piling up seven runs in the 9Th
inning of the second game of Sun
days double header, the Philips
pounded three Giant pitchers I'M
mercifully to wir by a one sided
score of lis. Powell returned to
the mound for Chicago and lasted
until the final inning when he was
replaced by Foster. Foster walked
two men and Cornelius was sent to
relieve Foster.
Philadelphia took one-run
lead in the first inning when Paige
scored on Dunn's grounder to
short. The Giants tied the count
in the second when Stearnes singh
ed and scored on Davis single to
right. The Philips were held score
less in their half of the third due
to the spectacular one-handed
catch by Turkey Stearns who
pulled down a long drive in deep
center hit by Wilson. With the
Giants leading, 3-2, in the fifth

As a result of all the cOntroVer-

only conclusion one NAV reach is
that each problem in which mar
