LAD PITCHED GOOD GAME BUT HIS SUPPORT WAS NOT BEST AT ALL TIMES AND VISITORS PROFITED BY ERRORS. Cambridge City. Ind., Aug. 10. Close on to a thousand people witnessed the Grays battle with the K. I. O. league team of Connersville, at Capital Hill park yesterday afternoon. The leaguers took the game with a 5 to 1 score. It was an Interesting session of base ball and the Grays fought every step of the way. but with all their earnest work had to Quit losers. Four quite costly errors on the part of the home lads put the leaguers off In the lead, and even though the locals poled out twelve clean hits off Haldeman's delivery against five off that of Conner, one lone run was all that they were successful in pushing over the lubber. Conner twirled winning ball all the time and it was only the wobbly support at crucial times that made him a loser. The Grays started a batting rally In the ninth, in which frame they bagged their only run, but it was of no avail for, with two hands down and the bases full Caldwell fanned and blighted all our fond hopes. ' In this contest the Grays faced for the first time, a left handed twirler, young Halderman, who la, but nineteen years old. Score:

Affairs of the

The X Y Z team defeated the Glen Millers yesterday by the score of 12 to 9 and now claims the city championship. Two pitchers for the park boys were hammered out of the box. The alphabeters now are claiming the city championship. The Dayton Tourists defeated the rejuvenated Giants at Athletic park yesterday by the score of 3 to 1. The city league games of next Saturday will be important as the season is drawing to a close. That famous orchard back of third base ,1s now being blamed by Cambridge City fans for the defeat of their pets yesterday. It is claimed the trees prevented Ridge from running under a rap that went for three bases. The Nationals found little trouble in administering a 7 to 0 defeat to the Centerville nine yesterday. Rather see local base ball fans boarding interurban cars for Cambridge City Sunday afternoons, than going eastward on a city car. Tick Conner has been pitching good ball for the Cambridge City Grays and yesterday he had the better of the argument but his team mates were not with him. Interest in corner lot base ball in this city is decreasing and it will be but a short time until football comes in for Its own. No wonder Easthaven lost both games Saturday Sheriff Meredith was not found in the lineup. His deputy was away. Has everybody heard of Gaston's pilfer of the home plate with three men out at Easthaven, Saturday? It was eaual to a moving picture sliow. "Toad" Kelley is proving a phenom tn the K. I. O. league. He has played eight games without an error and Is batting over the 350 mark. That's going some. In the four games he has played since joining Toledo, Hickman, formerly of Cleveland, has hit safely thirteen times for a total of sixteen bases and all against Columbus pitchers. .In the struggle for the city championship at Indianapolis yesterday the White Sox and Reserves broke even in a double header. The Louisville Nightrlders began a bombast of Rube Marquard in the first Inning yesterday and in the third the Indianapolis phenom was derrlcked and Seiver inserted.

This hearing disclosed clearly the attitude of the court, which was against the franchise claims of the company as to freight service and probably as to passenger service; whereupon the company began to make overtures to the Board looking toward a compromise before judgment was actually rendered. Shortly after this, the city's commercial and shipping Interests began an active campaign for a settlement In the interest of the freight service which had been outlawed for a year or more. This resulted in a compromise contract which cut out transfers, but granted In lieu thereof tho sale of tickets on the city cars. Another public hearing was held by the board, the whole council being present, at which It was unanimously decided to stand by the contract covering the park route, as otherwise amended, as above stated. In pursuance of this vote of confidence, the board signed up the amended contract and it was approved in council by a unanimous vote. Situation With D. &. W. This was followed by a beginning of the work of grading for the track along the Twenty-third street route, and a little later the Dayton & Western, or eastern end of the line applied for a franchise, submitting to the Board copies of the same as desired by them. This included in addition to all the provisions of the first franchise, one proposing a local city passenger service at a straight 5 cent fare, for the local interurban cars. The Board was willing to permit this city service by these interurban cars, but contended that local city traffic must be taken on the same terms as was given by the city cars, to-wlt: Passengers having the option to pay 5 cents or a ticket costing 4 1-6 cents. This stand by the board, which was Insisted on more because of the constant friction and annoyance that must result from having a different rule apply on this one line of cars, than the difference In the cost of the fare, was also formally approved unanimously by the council after being signed by the Board. This franchise covered the Twenty-second street route. - The ticket clause was rejected, however, by the D. & W. company, no good reason being given for such rejection. The board then decided to

The greatest crowd in the history of Louisville witnessed the contest. In a game at Petersburg. Ind., yesterday, three players were Injured and time was called at the end of the eighth owing to the list of wounded. One player broke his shoulder blade and two had fingers broken. With the bases full and no outs, Summers relieved Killian for Detroit against Washington yesterday and pulled the game from the fire not allowing a run. Two home runs, three passes, a double, a single and hit batsman, gave St Louis Americans eight runs in one inning against Boston yesterday. Rube Waddell made one of the homers with the bases full and allowed only five hits. Annual Rifle Shoot. Cleveland, O., Aug. 10. The annual rifle shoot by members of the State Guard and the United States army and navy began at Camp Perry, the national range, today. Lieut. Col Robert K. Evans, general staff, will be executive officer in charge of the range. Big Buffalo Races. Buffalo, N. Y., Aug. 10. Prepara tions are almost completed for the Buffalo grand circuit meeting, Aug. 11 and 12, this week, and the Buffalo Driving club expects two banner days The horses have been arriving at Ken ilworth park for a week and by tomorrow there will be 200 or more on the grounds, all ready to race. Mrs. Cobb Was Mobbed. Detroit, Mich., Aug. 10. Mrs. Tyrus Cobb, the young bride of the premier hitter of the American league, was almost mobbed today by joy-mad base ball fans when the local hero pounded out a triple in the game against Washington. It was her first visit to the local park, the scene of many battles in which Cobb's great stick work gave him a national reputation and tonight the Georgia girl had resolved never to go again. When Ty laced out a tripple the fans went wild and rushed around Mrs. Cobb in an effort to congratulate her, and almost crushed her in the wild scene that followed. stand by Its amendment, and expected to so report to council, whereupon a petition was speedily circulated before council met, and was signed by all the councilraen, asking us to sign this D. & W. franchise at once, omitting the ticket clause. Object Lesson in Consistency. The strange and inconsistent thing about this action was, that the board's slowness In signing this contract which took more cars into the Glen, was given by some councilmen as their reason for voting that the board should do everything in its power to keep the cars out of the Glen. If it were desirable that freight cars should be kept out of there, how could it be charged to us as a fault that we had not signed another contract taking more cars in there? The explanation is doubtless found In the fact that by this time work In the Glen was progressing rapidly, and the public was beginning to "sit up and take notice" of a thing that had been dinned Into their ears for 18 months the certainty that the freight line was going through the park. As the work on the park progressed, the people began a belated movement to stop it. A petition came before council asking relief. This was referred to the Board with the council's unani mous approval. The present council is nothing if not unanimous. The members unanimously requested the Board of Works to do everything in their power to keep the freight cars out of the park; "if you don't, we'll never hear the last of it!" It was an Interesting if startling object lesson on consistency. This action was taken in the face of the fact, above referred to, that on July 20, only two weeks before, the members of council had sent a written request to the Board urging them to at once sign the Dayton & Western contract covering this same park route, regardless of the difference of the ticket clause. At the same time a petition of shippers, manufacturers, business men and other citizens largely signed, was presented to the Board by Secretary Haas of the Commercial Club, also urging the closing of said D. & W. contract, covering the park route, as stated. Board's Course Was Approved. Prior to this and between the time the first interurban franchise was approved by council in Jan. 1907 and the time the amended one was approved In June last, the contract and the action of the board thereon was formally approved in writing by a large number of the leading business men of the city wholesalers, retailers and manufacturers. The board's course was also approved by the Commercial club In a resolution passed unanimously In the July following. The matter of the route agreed on in both contracts was known to all these citizens and to their credit be it said that most of them are standing by their position today. This knowledge of the route was common property in this city for eighteen months. The first franchise carried no second choice the park rout was the only one considered. If that were barred by injunction the contract was void. Every councilman knew this was the route. Everybody in the city could have known it and a majority did know it The amended contract provided also for the park route. Only in case that route was defeated by injunction could the Twenty-second street line be used and the suit for injunction must be a bona fide suit, without any collusion by the traction company. The quo warranto case was demurred out of court Doubtless the same fate awaits an Injunction suit Can an citixea

show a specific damage as a legal basis for an injunction? Freight Line Is Undesirable. An interurban freight line is con

ceded to be undesirable on any residence street It not only impairs the value of residence property, but detracts from the comfort of living. And yet the importance, benefit and desirability to the city as a whole, of such a freight line and service, is also conceded. If these statements are true what is the logical solution? Clearly, to locate the freight route where it will not damage individual citizens, but where the damage, if any, falls upon the city as a whole. If all our people share In the benefits of an interurban freight traffic, why should they not all share in the burdens necessarily incident to that traffic? This condition is fairly met by the Twentythird street or park route. But the park route was not only a good compromise, it i3 a good route on the merits of the case. It means a passenger as well as a freight service. It means greater convenience to the masses of our people In utilizing and enjoying their own beautiful park. As to the assertion that it is dangerous for children, we answer that children never congregated in that part of the park. People do not care to picnic in an old cemetery, even If the graves are leveled and the grave stones out of sight. The distance from water would be enough to prevent it. The danger from automobiles all over the Glen drives is much greater than the car line crossing the drive at a grade could be, even if children did play about there; for the freight cars must approach that crown with minimum speed and they make more noise than the swift and silent autos. Fact of Route's Utility. The fact of the route's utility is conclusively proven by the fact that each year the Chautauqua managers want a temporary car line run into the park but a short distance from where this permanent trak will run. Why do they ask this? To mar the beauty of the park? To endanger the lives of women and children the very time of year when such danger could exist? Nay, nay. They ask this line, with all its unsightliness because it is a rew convenience and benefit to the masses not to those who own carriages and automobiles, but the plain people those who need and use the park the most. Suppose in addition to the present convenience of such route the city would in a few years erect in the Glen a large auditorium. What better place for it than the natural ampitheatre, the little open field surrounded by trees, near where this track will be laid? A fund is now being raised from the Chautauqua profits which is set apart for just such a purpose. Why shouldn't it be built there, and be used, in addition to the Chautauqua, for concerts, public and political meetings, home commers meetings, old settlers' meetings, industrial and fraternal conventions, and many other functions? Why could it not be heated, so as to be available at least the greater portion of the year? Public Gainer by Route. The splendid utility and the versatile benefits of the park are only in their infancy. The park is the peoples playground, the peoples' escape valve, the peoples' education, the peoples' Inspiration, the peoples' elevation. The street cars bring the people and the park together bring the people to their own. And the nearer the heart of the park the cars can run the better for the people. To keep the cars out means to keep some people out. It means more labor and more Inconvenience to all who have to walk from the car line. To have a day or a half day at the park means a dinner or a supper or both. This means heavy baskets and all the im pediments incidental to a day In the woods. Who can tell how many overworked wives are kept out of the park by this very lack of conveyance in the park? Is not this a common experience? Let the cars go into the park. Let them go to the very heart of it if possible. It is the tired mothers that need it most. The people will only be the gainers, and the park will lose nothing in beauty, because there is the truest beauty in utility and helpfulness. Nothing Is more sacred than the mute claims of tired women and weakly children. A park that is to a degree Inconvenient or Inaccessible to the common people is to that extent a failure. ' The street or interurban cars multiply its benefits because they multiply its beneficiaries. They will bring gladness and rest to many people who are now "too tired to walk bo far from the car and back again." Let us not be so devoted to art and beauty that we neglect people, the very people who need these things the most Art is a splendid . thing, but humanity is beyond all price. Beauty Is a splendid thing, but utility puts into it a shining soul. Let us not follow the shadow and forget the substance, that which makes nations great and men divine that sweet spirit of service and sacrifice for oth ers which alone means regeneration and salvation to the race.

A BRIDGE CURIOSITY. Odd Structure In Mexico Bailt of Solid Mahogany. As mahogany is among the most costly woods in the world. It may well be inferred that this tropical material is not very extensively employed in the construction of buildings, etc. A bridge constructed of solid mahogany is certainly a rarity, a curiosity. There la one, claimed to be the only one in the world, built of that material. This structure is located in the department of Palenque, state of Chiapas, republic of Mexico. This district lies In the extreme southwestern part of Mexico, near the boundary line of Guatemala. This mahogany bridge is constructed entirely of that valuable wood except some iron supports, braces and nails that are necessarj. The bridge spans the Rio Mlcbol, and its total length, Including approaches, exceeds 150 feet, -while the width Is fifteen feet It is used by both teams and pedestrians, and, although somewhat rude and primitive in construction, it is very substantial. None of the timbers of the flooring were sawed, for in that region there are no sawmills, but were hewn and split In that section of old Mexico there are several very large rubber plantations, and mahogany trees are quite common. In clearing away the tropical forests for setting out the young rubber trees the mahogany growths are also cut down and removed. As this wood is quite abundant, some of it was used in building the bridge. American Inventor. ... MEANINGS OF CALIBER. Either the Diameter of at Gen or Its Leaarth Divided by Diameter. There is surely no word in the nomenclature of guns, big and little, which has caused and Is causing so much confusion In the lay mind as tbe word caliber. The confusion arises chiefly from the use of tbe term In an adjectival sense to indicate length, as when we say a SO caliber six Inch gun. The word caliber as applied to artillery signifies essentially and at all times the diameter of the bore of a gun. A gun, then, of six Inch caliber is a gun whose bore is Just six Inches. For convenience and because the power of a gun when once its bore has been decided upon depends so greatly upon its length, artillerists are In tbe habit of defining the length of the gun in terms of the caliber. The six Inch rapid Are gun, as mounted on the ships of tbe navy. Is a trifle under twenty-five feet in length and is therefore, known as a SO caliber gun. In the case of small arms the caliber Is expressed in hundredths of an Inch, as when we say a 22 oa liber or 32 caliber pistol, meaning that tbe bore Is J22 or .32 of an Inch in diameter.
