YESTERDAY'S PASTIME GOES EKTBfl IDJGS
by tad; B08TON, Oct. 12. At the end of Uta sixth Inning yesterday with the score tied, Chrlaty M&thewson, who plays ball for a club In New York; leans orer to Sam Crane and offers lo bet a flvdoUar "keUy' that the pastime will so over nine Innings. Same grabs the wager. We come to - the lait half of the ninth Inning, and Matty lame Sam on the knob playfully, telling him to get the five Iron men ready, that the Red Sox will not score and that the tenth Inning will soon start. , Duffy Lewis, the thick chested native son, struts from the dugout, swinging three big bats. About 43,000 peoplethe greatest crowd that ever saw a baseball game are cheering. Duffy Lewis; within five feet of the plate; throws away two of the batB and keeps a big black one in his hand. Grover Alexander, the most . success
ful pitcher In the world today, slants at Duffy. Hats are flying, noma an blowing, feet are shifting and arms are waving. Grover Alexander winds up. . He shoots! Bang! The little White pill sails right over second base without a soul near It, and Mr. Hooper, of Boston,, scampers over the platter with the winning run, followed closely by Tris Speaker, who is so excited that he bumps into the bat boy, knocking him flat without even turning around to give the damage the up and down.' The place Is mad! You can't hear
a thing! The field is full of people, even the cops are howling! Matty tosses a five case note at Sam Crane's head. Some game, eh? Won in the ninth! Oh, you Duffy Lewis! Well, let's get back to earth. It was a pip of a finish. It was a pip of a crowd. It was a pip of a day.

BOSTOto is nomine FOR TEAM TO AMK WORLD'S TITLE FOR CITY
BY L. V. B. RUCKER. BOSTON, Oct. 12. Just four hundred and twenty-three years ago after a Genoese, one Christopher Columbus, dlicovered America, thereby Indirectly and doubtless to his eternal disgust, becoming the 'father of baseball, the Philly fans discovered that their idolized Pat Moran did not have the world series in the hollow of his hand. By a process of inversion, the Boston rooters became possessed of an excess of enthusiasm and Columbus day saw the biggest crowd in the Braves' field that ever looked on at a baseball battle, royal or otherwise, anywhere on earth. Into the 43,000 odd seating capacity was jammed hundreds more than on yesterday. Why Boston should' appropriate C. Columbus to herself, when there are Columbus, Ohio, Columbia, Mo., and divers other places whose names are derivatives of Italian Doc Cook, thereby giving them a .better right to claim him. Is a mystery to all but BosteniansT" "But It is a' tact" that owhere is Columbus - such -a. vregular 1 holiday. Shops and schools and banks are closed and a general air of idleness pervades the town.
EAT TME PRETZELS . . - . After hours and on Sundays the Boston thirst .parlors serve their patrons in sitting rooms; the only restrictions being ' that there must be something edible on the tables.. A.hunch-af add Philadelphia rooters invaded such a
place. After they were gone, a lone traveler in the desert entered the emporium and seated himself at a: table. The waiter served his Order and then noticed that the food plate that pacifies the law was empty, cleaned to its last crumb. "My Gawd," he exclaimed. "Some of them Philadelphias done et the pretzels." OBJECT TO BAND Chronic world fans were shocked
and horrified at yesterday s game when the royal rooters' band, directed by former Mayor "Honey Fitz" played raucously all the time Alexander, the Phillies' pitcher, was hurling. "That's the first time that ever was donn," said Pat Moran "It certainly was
raw work." There was much Indignation.
IN LINE ALL NIGHT.
When the son rose this morning there weje ,10 jPOijeraons: waiting, at the Braves' park -for the bleacher
gates to s open. " Most of them fcd waited patiently and cheerfully all
night. The. weather was ideal,, clear and several degrees warmer than yes
terday. At 6 o'clock the first in line was a. 12-year-old boy. .He didn't stay long. His father, suspecting where the youngster Jiad spent the night, hove, on : the scene, cuffed the boy's ear and led him screaming away to-
.wrd the parental roof. The first ar
rival at the gate came at 6 last nigiit.

EARLHAM DIRECTS PRACTICE TOWARD ROSE POLY SCRAP
Coach Whiteside is not a bit discouraged at Earlham's defeat at Lexington on Saturday and is taking hold of the members of the eleven in a determined fashion and making them
wors nara.
Yesterday he had the squad on the
field and drilled them individually in
their weak points and he intends to
keep this work up until the boys show
improvement.
One great weakness the coach is endeavoring to overcome is to get the
boys to keep going after they catch
the ball on a punt. Both in the practice and the two games played nearly
all the men showed a disposition to
slow up when about to be tackled and
this is a grave fault that must be
remedied.
Rose Poly plays here Saturday and
they have a line that is reported to
average 190 pounds so Earlham has
its work cut out.
That Earlham has a lot of good men
this year there is little doube but they
are inexperienced and it will take a
lot of hard work to get them playing
the game that the Coach wants and expects, but Whiteside is far from be
ing a laggard and before the season
is over Earlham may prove to be the sensation of the season.
VETS TAKE THREE FROM TIPPERARYS

ontinued From Page One intimates that they "know no more about it than anyone else." Probably seldom before has . a couple been so much in the public eye as the president and his fiancee, taken so little precaution to disguise their happiness. The president has shaken from his shoulders the irritated air with which has has greeted newspaper men. and . women , and photographers to such an extent that it is a lively topic of conversation and' he is 'willing at all times to pose with the beautiful woman . who soon is , to . become the first lady of the land. The chivalrous lover-like attitude with which he greets her at all times, has greatly endeared him to women who have witnessed it. .Although Mrs. Gait has taken the position that she cannot be' interviewed under present 'conditions, the winsome manner in which she refuses
makes her many friends. She said at her home today that she will gladly take the public into her confidence about her wedding plans "when they are all completed," and will release the secret of her wedding gown as soon as the modiste permits. The trosseau will adhere strictly to the "made in America" slogan. Not a single article will be used, it was stated, that is not made in the United States except some lace heirlooms which have been in the family of Mrs. Gait for generations.

BOWMAN SUGGESTS VOTERS SHOW TAX RECEIPTS AT POLE
"A law should be passed requiring every voter to show his poll tax re
ceipt before he is allowed to vote,'
said County Auditor Bowman. "There
are many transients who are able to
escape paying any taxes, while at the
same time they enjoy the protection
of the government. There should be some way of reaching this class of
people."
County Auditor Bowman recently presented his views on the tax ques
tion before the state board of tax commissioners. He was asked to give
his opinion relative to the enforced payment of poll taxes and he insisted that action be taken in recommending to the state legislature that a law be
passed to this effect.
