Richmond took the Bluffton celebrities Friday afternoon in a close, but stupid game, by a Bcore of 3 to 2. The contest was placed within the grasp of the locals six or seven times, but not until the last part of the ninth did the Quakers open the pep can and cinch the game. Stokes Weaver pounding in
the winninjr run by poling a scorcher
over second which nearly amputated a claw of Mr. Donovan, the squat Bluffton guamlan of that bag. Fleming worked for the locals and he was wild, but effective. Mr. Guhl twirled for the visitors and he was albo effective and wild. Pretty fielding on the part of Fisher, Carlin and a circus catch by Partlow, the Bluffton center fielder, were the only things that kept the crowd from passing into a Rip Van Winkle. Mr. Britten, a graduate of the back lots of Cincinnati, reported to Manager Jessup just before the game for a trial in the outfield. Britten came here touted as a slugger of the La Jole type, but he failed to Bolve Mr. Guhl's delivery. In the field he took two chances in an easy, grace? ful manner. Wiltermood rested on the bench while Britten cavorted in his garden. Presented by Guhl. The first Quaker tally was presented by C. Guhl. In the second with one down, Minzler singled, Britten drew transportation and both advanced on Fisher's out to left. Fleming got a base on LaRue's error, the Guhl passed Ritter, forcing In Minzler. Cap Jessup had a chance to break up the league, three men being on bases, but he died an infield death. In the fourth the locals clouded up and threatened to sprinkle run3 all over the
Dregs, but one little count oozed in
Bone headed work by Bluffton. a base
on balls to Minzler and hits by Fleming and Ritter netted this one run. The inning closed with three men on bases.
Weaver was at the bat, but failed to
connect safely. Tied in the Eighth. .
"The Dregs made their first score In the seventh. Donovan pounding out
a single and counting on Pfefferle's two-base hit. In the eighth Bluffton tied the score on a two base. hit and errors by Fisher and Illcks. Bluffton should have scored in the sixth when Fleming passed three men to first, but the necessary pinch hitter was not on the Bluffton payroll. Richmond won the game In the ninth after two men had been retired. Fisher drew his base, Fleming singled and Ritter sacrificed. Jessup then poled one to LaBelle, who nailed Fisher at the plate. Weaver, who had not yet secured his daily hit and was way over due, came to bat and promptly smashed out a single, scoring Fleming and ending the game. The score:

King Cole will probably work against
Bluffton this afternoon. Sunday, Ca
sey Horn is down to pitch against the
same team. Bluffton is also the at
traction at Athletic park Monday, La
bor Day, and Fleming will work in the only game played on that date, in the
afternoon.
, Britten, the new outfielder, who re
ported here Friday for a trial, has
good whip and fields his position nice
ly, but sems a bit bat shy. However, it is not fair to judge him In this de
partment the first game he plays
Britten was the best batter in the City
league at Cincinnati.
Carlin failed to do any execution
with his bat Friday, but he certainly
held down short field .to perfection. In
the first Inning he took a line drive by running backward for it and then spearing it with his gloved hand by a
leap into the humid atmosphere. Fish
er also played a beautiful fielding game
handling five hard driven hits and teasing bunts, then nailing his man by
beautiful assists to Hicks. Fisher's
error was an overthrow of second base
on a relay from Ritter.
Partlow was given the hand for a re
markable catch in center. After Part
low had made thi3 robbery and was re
turning to the bench a fan yelled:
"Uncover, you dub, don't you know
what an encore is?"
With a grin Tarlow yelled back
"Can't do it I'm bald headed."
Mr. Gardner, the new umps, is a hard
working and pugnacious official. He
has a pair of pipes like a factory whis
tle, and he is not afraid to use them
He also told Cap LaRue of Bluffton to
behave or vacate the premises. "You
showed me up once, but you won't again. I'll have you understand that
I'm the umpire, so stow your gab or get out of the game. Mr. LaRue
stowed his gab. Mr. Gardner's remarks were very much a la brtish league, but "when in a biush league do as the
brush leaguers do," is his motto.

This gas is lighter than air, and the fruit flips back and forth In the wind until it finally breaks loose from its slender stem, rises Intc the air to a height of from seventy-flv to a hundred feet and sails away tc

PERHAPS THE GREATEST REFORM YET PLANNED LOOKS TO THE ENTIRE ELIMINATION OF GRADE CROSSINGS.
Indianapolis, Ind., Aug. 31. The good wor u.c-aj.:.3hca vy the Indiana Railroad Commission is beginning to attract attention throughout the entire country. The commission, although less than three years old, is becoming a model for the commissions of other states. No other branch of the state administration Is doing more in a general way for the people of Indiana. When the commission was created by the Republican legislature three years ago there was a hue and cry from the Democrats that '.he Republicans had merely created another bureau to give some favorite politicians a job, but the fallacy of that cry is being demonstrated every day, for the commission has more than paid for itself In many cases. Freight Rates Inquiry. It is now reducing and equalizing freight rates as well as making travel safer. During the next sixty days some conferences of vital importance to the shippers and consumers will be held here. One of these conferences will mark the Inauguration of a movement to lower freight rates. It is almost assured that the commission will compel the roads to lower many rates and the result will be that the masses-will be able to buy many of the necessities of life cheaper than they do now. Great Reform Planned. Perhaps the greatest reform yet contemplated by the commission is one looking towards the complete elimination of dangerous grade crossings which have cost hundreds of lives, and which are a constant menace to the public. If the commission succeeds In this work and there is every reason to believe that it will, it will have accomplished more for the people of the state than anyone thought possible when the railroad commission law was enacted. Position Plainly Stated. In a letter written to the superintendent of one of the large railroads operating within the state, a member of the commissicvn outlines -the ctti-

tude of the commission on the question of railroad crossings and says that the commision will keep in mind continually the idea of the gradual elimination of the grade-crossing, and the establishment of different grades for the rail and the wagon roads. That the advancement from the present crossings to elevated crossings will be gradual is evidenced by the letter, but the position of the commission Is clearly outlined in It. as follow: "Your letter of the 17th. with referento the work you are doing on highway crossings generally, was received and has ben submitted to the commission. The commission Is glad to note the active work you are doing to get your highway crossings In fair condition. "We bes leave, however, to object to your proposition "that there never will be a time when we can say to the commission that every highway crossing In the state is in first-class shape. Tl.e law of this state requires that highway crossings, when a railroad creates them, shall be put In practically the same condition that they were before the railroad passed over them. To Improve Crossings. "In the state of Massachusetts the railroad commission has been In existence for fifty years and has been devoting a great deal of its time and attention to the subject of getting the highway crossings In condition to prevent accidents and loss of life. We are informed that in this state and other eastern states persistent efforts have been made and are being made to separate the grades at the crossings of the highways and the railroads. The railroad commission of Indiana proposes to commence now, wherever It Is practical, through Its Inspectors and through the companies, the work of putting a great many, If not all, of these highway crossings In much better shape than they are at the present time. "It proposes to go on with this work from year to year, getting them continually in better shape until the great loss of life that has taken place at these crossings shall be avoided. We note the difficulties that you labor under and the work you are doing, but we think It will be economy to pnt these crossings in the best shape you can at the present, becaue.e as we go further Into this work we shall require, wherever views of approaching trains are obstructed b buildings or
-t ir..: , -r grains, es pecially where the adjacent country Is thickly settled, to insist that proper warning- signals, . including electric blls when neceesary, shall be constructed. To Scrutinlce Accidents. "It is our Intention to scrutloTse very carefally all accidents . that ke place heratter at highway crossings and to require these to b in as safe condition as is possible under present conditions, working up finally to the point arrived at in the states. I have mentioned, of a separation of grades and the final clmination of accidents that so often lake place at highway crossings. We shall eipect the cooperation of the carriers In this work, because the incidental benefits accruing to them will be very great. "The cru mission trusts sad expects that you will continue to devote your time and the time of your tntn to the Improvement of these crossings."
