CLIFF McMAINS, Clerk.

Some of our kind readers have told us they like the reminiscing we do about Greencastle in our column. We thank them and hope the following remark* may also be of interest.

How many of you recall the blacksmith shops in our fair city prior to the first World War?

And do you recall the livery stables that once did a flourishing business.

Do you remember the Chautauqua programs during the summer.

There was also the traveling stock companies that used to play here for two and three-night stands.

Greencastle wa^ also a good circus town and at least once each year, Barnum & Bailey, Hagenback & Wallace, Gentry Bros. o r Cole Brothers show had the Putnam county seat on its itinerary.

The five-day chautauqua programs were held under a big tent on the lot which is the present site of the high school building.

Stock companies either performed at the Fred Johns airdrome or on the comer lot now occupied by the Fentress Motors garage and sales room building.

The old circus grounds were just west across the Monon railroad tracks from the Bittles Handle Factory.

Remember the circu* day parades? What a thrill for young and old!

Did you ever get up real early in the morning so you cewld go down to the depot and see the circus train unload? Boy, those were the “good old days!”

We worked our way into circus once, and that was enough. We never carried so much water in our life to four big elephants.

The blacksmith shops we remember were those of Fred Weik on the southwest comer of Jackson and Columbia’ streets; Charlie Pfifeirberger’s on West Liberty; Mr. Randel’s just off the square on North Indiana, and the Bundy shop at the east end of Liberty opposite the old cabinet factory.

Livery stables were on their way out when we were growing up but we played in them while attending First Ward School from 1909 to 1917.

It’s a wonder some of us didn't get crushed by bales of straw; .-mothered to death in the hay mow*, or trampled by the horses in their stalls.

The White Sox and Dodger pitchers chased nine runs across the platter in the first infiing of la*t night’s Little League game before Sox hurler Elliott Williams entered the slugfest and shutout the Dodgers the rest of the stretch for a 9-5 White Sox triumph. Hopping on the White Sox starting pitcher Jim Shamel. the Dodgers struck for five runs in the first stanza on singles by Harold and Cromer, walks to Goldsberry, Munday, Taylor and O’Hair and a Sox error. In the bottom half of the same inning, the White Sox parlayed one hit and two Dodger errors for four runs scored by Gardner. Williams, Cooper and 'Wood. The eventual winners scored the tying run in the lower half of the second inning when lead off batter Steve Gardner scored after smacking a double. The White Sox added four insurance runs—one in each of the third and fifth innings and two in the fourth. Ronnie Blotch, Sox infielder. f urned in a good night at the plate with two singles in three times at bat. Winning pitcher was Elliot Williams who teamed up with Shamel to strike out 16 Dodger batters. Lenard Taylor who went all the way for the losers struck out seven.

Wealthy Woman Returns To Home

CHICAGO, UP—Mrs. Ernest R. Graham, 73, missing Chicago socialite, returned to her "Gold Coast” home here today, surprised by the furor her disappearance had caused. "I had no idea my absence would cause so much commotion," the widow of a wealthy Chicago architect said upon her arrival. She was located Tuesday in Terre Haute, Ind., after telephoning a member of her household staff to report she was "all right” and “just having trouble with my car.” Mrs. Graham explained she was stranded in Terre Haute Saturday night, when her car broke down. She left the Indiana city Tuesday night after the car was fixed. Mrs. Graham left Chicago June 28, driving alone, to visit her son. William at Vero Beach, Fla. When she failed to arrive, William notified authorities who launched a widespread search for her. When the search was launched, the last word from Mrs. Graham was a telegram dated June 29 from Attica. Ind. On that date, flash floods had closed many highways in the Attica area. Later, a post card received by her Chicag household staff and postmarked Florida indicated she was enroute home.

ST. LOUIS UP—Wrong guessing and second guessing told the tale of the All-Star Game, a 6-5 win for Casey Stengel's American League team to break a twogame, victory streak by Brooklyn Dodger manager Walt Alston and the National League. Stengel didn't want to start rookie right hander Jim Bunning of Detroit Tuesday. And he wanted to keep Boston’s Ted Williams in left field for offensive punch. He wanted to open the game with Cleveland's veteran Early Wynn, and he would have, except that Wynn pitched seven innings Sunday and Stengel feared he would be tied. So Bunning was the standout of the 12 hurlers who appeared. He retired nine men in order and got credit for the win when his mates got two rung in the second inning. Wynn gave up three hits rnd two runs later in 1-3 of an inning. Stengel partially carried out his strategy with Williams. He let the Boston star step to the plate four times, and he walked once and went out three times. Then, nursing a 3-2 lead, he put Chicago’s Minnie Minoso into left field for defensive purposes. Minoso starred both on offense and defense. He rapped a double off the right center field wall in the ninth inning to drive home A1 Kaline of Detroit with what proved to be the winning run.

Heavy Storms Hit Kansas, Colorado

UY UNITED TRESS Locally severe storms hit sections of Colorado and Kansas today to mar an otherwise generally fair weather picture over most of the nation. A downpour early today flooded sections of south and southwest Topeka, Kan„ forcing evacuation of some families in the Knollwood area.
