Athletics Took Tuesday Game _ From the New York Giants.

The Athletics Tuesday won the fourth game in the series with the New York Giants for the world’s championship by a score of 4 to 2. Bender and Thomas formed the battery for the American leaguers and Mathewson retired in the eighth to allow Becker to bat in his place. New York made seven hits and two errors,. and the Athletics eleven hits, six of which were two-baggers, and one error. The NewYork scores were all made in the first inning on a single, triple and sacrifice, and Philadelphia scored three in the fourth, on three doubles and a sacrifice, and one in the fifth, on a single and a double. Philadelphia has now won three out of the four games played, New York winning the first, and as the series ends when one team wins four out of seven games, the Athletics are hailed here as this year’s world’s champions—without much doubt. /

Mrs. E. A. Alter Has a Fine New 7-Passenger Franklin Auto.

The finest automobile ever owned in Rensselaer has been purchased by Mrs. Elizabeth P. Alter and arrived several days agP- It is a 1912 model 7-passenger, 6-cylinder, 48-horse power Franklin, the same make as the car previously owned by Mrs. Alter. •It is reported to have host $4,800. Mrs. Alter wanted to own a car large enough to take her children and grandchildren out all at the same time and Dr. Kannal had eleven in it Tuesday night. The Catholic Order of Foresters held a card party at Willard Hall* last night. Many of the Foresters and their friends attended. Refreshments were served and all enjoyed the ev-; ening. Hon. E. P. Lam carried away the honors. ' Miss Elizabeth Rieddle got the 23rd prize. Leo Reeve has been quite sick for several'days at the home of his parents. on west Clark street. An intestinal trouble with bowel obstruction seems to be the cause and it is possible that he will have to go to the hospital for an operation. His condition today is regarded as quite serious. He is a clerk at' the Eger grocery store. J. F. McCoy, of Danville, HL, the’ architect who furnished the plans for the remodeling of the M. E. church and for the addition to be built in the spring to the school house, was here yesterday to submit his plans for the new rooming house to be built by J. T. Randle at the corfier of Cullen and Cornelia streets.

Mr. and Mrs. Harry Learning arrived this morning from Oklahoma City for a short visit with his uncle and aunt, Charles G. Spitler and Miss Maud Spitler. They were married Oct. sth in Oklahoma City and have been on a delightful wedding trip. They went first to. Galveston, Texas, and thence by boat to New York City. They arrived at his former home, Goshen, about a week ago and came from there to Rensselaer. Among the oldest residents of Jasper county are David Nowels, who is 90 years of age, and who came to Jasper county in 1834. James T. Randle, 80 years of age, came to this county in 1835, and Steward C. Hammond, who was 84 years of age Tuesday of this week, came here in 1837. Steve Comer, of Union township, was born in Jasper county and is probably the oldest resident of the county born in the county. W. F. Moore, who is almost 85 years of age, came to thia county in 1853 and still owns the farm on which he located when he came here. Clarence Fate and family returned yesterday afternooii from their auto trip to Indianapolis, made in his new Flanders car. Clarence saVs that the trip was delightful! not so much so on account of the car Itself and the fine fall scenery, but of the excellence of the driver, referring to himself. Since he just bought the car five days before he started on the trip and had never had any experience as a chauffeur prior thereto. It will readily be seen that Clarende takes somewhat after his father with whom the public was better acquainted. Autumn is ordinarily a fine autolng period but this fall the weather has been very unfavorable and many trips have then abandoned on account of the rains.

Woman Physician MurderedKnown by Local Doctors.

Dr. Helene Knafte, an Indianapolis woman physician, was murdered some time-Monday night at her apartments in the Delaware Flats in that city. The police are without a clew as to who could have perpetrated the crime. Her throat was cut from ear to ear. Dr. Knabe waß a wonderful woman. She came here a peasant girl from Germany and after working as a servant she determined to become a doctor and handicapped by having had practically no education she worked her way through college, graduating from the Indiana college of Medicine. Dr. A. R. Kresler and M. D. Gwin, of this city, were in college at the sanie time Miss Knabe was but neither were in her classes, Dr. Kresler graduating two or three years before and Dr. Gwin a year later than she. Dr. Knabe worked for some time in the office of Dr. Hurty, secretary of the state board of health, conducting considerable of the experimental work in his department and he speaks of her ability in the highest terms of praise. The local physicians, also, who had become better acquainted with her, by meeting her at the meetings of the state medical society, speak highly of her ability. - -- There was thought to be some evidence of suicide but the Indianapolis police have hooted this idea, although they are- unable to suggest any possible murder clue.

J. B. Martindale Transferred From Mall Clerk to Carrier.

J. B. Martindale, the railway mail clerk, has been transferred on his own request from that position to carrier on No. 4, out of Rensselaer. Harry B. Murray, the carrier on No. 4, has been transferred to route No. '2, where a vacancy occurred by the death of Elias Hammerton. The change will take place, it is understood, on Nov. Ist. . Since the death of Mr. Hammerton, the route has been carried by Lem Huston, who was qualified for the position and had his application in for it. Mr. Martindale desired the transfer in order to be at home more of the time, owing to the poor health of his wife. He was one of the ablest of the Rensselaer faail clerks and stood well at the head of the list for further promotion. It is probable that his-resig-nation from the mail service will give some other Rensselaer clerk a boost.

Oakwood, of West Lafayette, Our Next Football Rivals,

Oakwood high school, of West Lafayette, where they always play good football, will be here Saturday of this week,- to meet the local high school. The game will be a good one if football dope counts for anything. The locals won their only game so far played, while Oakwood has defeated Frankfort and Frankfort defeated Noblesville. defeated Hoopeston, 111. It is Important that Rensselaer win this game if they expect to figure as state champions, at which they should have a fine chance if they keep free from injuries and keep up their trainifig.

Pythian Sisters Surprise Mrs. Anna Mills Tuesday Night

About twenty-five members of the Pythian Sisters lodge met Tuesday evening at the home of Mrs. Leslie Clark and went’together to the home of'Mrs. Anna Mills, on Cedar street, surprising her completely. She soon recovered from the shock, however, and suggested that, judging from the btfndles the guests had, the first place they had better go was to the dining room to leave their parcels. Later a “buffet” lunch was sprved and a jolly time enjoyed by al). Mrs. Mills is planning to go, to Hamilton, Mont., soon, to visit her son, Ed and wife, and it is on this account that the surprise was arranged. Gov. Marshall’s ten-dollar-a-day field examiners have been busy in Steuben county and their bill to date is $1,699.24, Which the county has paid.. In return these experts found an item of $30.95 owing Steuben county #y an officer, and it is said that it is uncertain as to whether this amount really belongs to the county. ’
