A Great Sail Game,
The game of ball yesterday after
noon between thc Shelton and the
Union Pacific tcamB proved one of
the best ever played on thc local
grounds, and the score made one
to nothing was thc lowcBt ever
recorded in a local game. It was
practically a pitcher's battle, thc
Union Pacifies making but one hit
off of Kimbraugu the Shelton
pitcher, while the Shelton batters
made but three weak hits off Pen
dergraft the local pitcher. Kim
braugu struck out thirteen men,
and Peadergraft six,
The Shelton team succeeded in
getting three men safe to first base
and thc local team made a similar
record.
The one run of the Union Pa
cifies waB made in thc seventh inn
ing and was not earned. Kcefc
got to first by the catcher mulling
the third strike, made second on a
wild throw to first, waB forwarded
to third by Redmond's sacrifice
hit and came home on a
wild pitch and passed ball by thc
catcher. Had this wild pitch not
occurred, the game at the gait it
was going might have continued
until dark without a score, being
made. ;

pluyt), which other than thc splei
did work of both pitchers, were th
only features of the game. T
game was practically errorless o
the part of thc Union Pacifies
Elliott's costless fumble being th
only mark going to the error col
utnn. On thc part of thc visitors
Couroy's paaucd ball and wild
throw were the only chargeable
error to them.
The team work of both thc local
, and the visitors was pcrlcctand the
contest throughout was a pretty
exhibition of the national game,

Tax Commissioner Scribntr of

Soles that arc double in thickness extend nearly a

heavy thread called rope stitch is thc latest idea
in making Men's Shoes.
Men who have worn heavy soled shoes know the
additional comfort to be obtained from them.
Thc wide extension sole idea is certainly good

A railroad in Illinois is equipping
an engine with a newly patented
automatic stoker, intended- to re
lieve thc fireman from the endless
task of shoveling coal into the fire
box. It is a funnel shaped trough
which the coal is forced with an
even distribution by means ot a
screw. The more rapid the revolu
tions of the locomotive wheels, the
greater amount of coal needed and
the screw therefore turns faster.
The fireman will thereafter be
called the ''engineer's assistant"
will be able to perform his dutioB
with less expenditure of muscle.
