Score 3 to 0. Walsh pitched the greatest game of his life and after the first inning held the Cubs hitless. Two hits were gathered off him , in the first inning but they did no damage. .Walsh's speed was terrific and his control marvelous. His spit ball nev er worked better, breaking with a sharpness that kept the Cubs sawing the air. Twelve of the hard hinting National Leaguers tanned at the great drops that Walsh used continuously. Rohe Again the Hero. The Sox might never have scored however, so effective was Jack Pfeister, th Cubs Southpaw, had it not been for Iloho's great drive into the left field seats in the sixtli inning. Tnty cotton fti third baseman, who i!fd bench warming ' throughout " the greater part of the championship sea son, won the game for the' American leaguers with an exact duplicate of Ihe hit with which' he clinched the first game. Neither sida 1 id scored in the first five innings, although the Cubs had made a strong bid in the opening session. Pfeister had held . the. Sox to three hits, two of them the rankest kind of scratches and the Sox rooters despaired of a score off the Southpaw's delivery. Pfeister Wild in Sixth. He became wild at the opening of the s!xth, however. Tannehill made one of his semi-occasional hits, a sirfgle past third. Pfeister made a rapId baloon ascension, immediately (Continued on Page Two.) START THREE SAWMILLS LOCAL MEN'S ENTERPRISE Alonzo Davenport and Thomas Ryan Buy Thousand Acres of Timber Land in Southern Arkansas A Primeval Forest. Alonzo Davenport and Thos. Ryan have returned from Southern Arkansas where they purchased one thousand acres of timber land. The land In question is close to the railroad and the two gentlemen wiJl buy enough machinery while here, to equip three saw mills and will go into the lumber business in Arkansas on a large scale. The land which they purchased, is almost a primeval forest and ihere are millions of feet of lumber on the tract. It is not their intention to remain In Arkansas longer than will be neccessary to clear the forest. As the land when cleared, can be osed for the cultivation of rice or Ji(on. the move on the part of the two Richmond men will no doubt bring them in double returns. On their return home they bought two car. loads of fine cattle m St. Jouis, which they will place on their farm in this county. . Returns to Starr.

HEAR TO DEATH First Lady of the Confederacy Very Feeble After Long . Illness. ALL HOPE IS NOW GONE HEROIC MEASURES, HOWEVER, ARE BEING TAKEN TO SAVE HER LIFE INDISPOSITION DUE TO A SEVERE COLD. Publishers Presl New York, Oct. 11.

Mrs. Davis was very ill last winter, but she displayed unusual vit"'t -d finally recovered enough to be about ain, although still very feeble. About a fortniat ago, wme unug;, she contracted a severe cold which compelled her to take to her bed. Her indisposition was not looked upon as serious until the latter part of last week, when the attending physician summoned her daughter, Mrs. I. A Haves, of Colorado Springs, to her mother's bedside, as a matter purely of precaution. - Hope Passed Wednesday. Until yesterday it was hoped that Mrs. Davis would recover, although her great age she was born May 7, 1826 naturally complicated her con dition. The physicians in attendance today, however, announced that there was but slight hope for her recovery and that is still her condition tonight. There has been no change since this morning, and the aged woman' who is so well loved in the South is in a semiconscious condition: Heroic measures are being adopted to , keep her alive? and while all hope has not yet been given up, what there is is very slight " -r V -v-' - - 'i.
