BENDING PITCHES A MOST EX­ CELLENT GAME, Jtleln Court of Honof Te*to F«II to Score K «imI arc Shut Out 15 to O--Kljflti Ort» Olio HitOfr »<••><! I tig. One hundred fans stood and watched the Greens trounce the Elgin Court of Honor team in the deciding game of a series of three last Sunday Afternoon daring a continuous downpour of rain. The day was anything but a good-one for baseball but nevertheless the Greens succeeded in wiimiug the most decisive victory .of the. season by shutting out the visitors by the one-sided score of 15 to 0. The visitors had come prepared for a good, hard battle, bringing with them two of Elgin's greatest slab artists, ;C%ptaiij Jack" Thurlwell and "Holly" Oil] is, both of whom are classed as the best Elgin has, aside from Manager Gleason's pitchers. Wht® the teams lined np\for the game it looked as if the chances of winning the contest were eveiily divided, but after the first in­ ning had been played the taps felt satis- feed that the Greens had started out for another victory. The way the locals landed on "Captain Jack" was some­ thing awful and at the end of the third inning he was put to the. bad. lie, see­ ing that there was no use of remaining* very willingly gave way to "Holly" who just thought he had the Greens' measure taken, but to his great surprise he was pounded all over the green field of the ball park. The Elgins had but one chance to score, this coining in the fourth inning. Whitman started off the inning by be­ ing given free transportation to the sack which is looked after by Gibbs, he stole second and was safe at third when Bending threw the ball wild to Davis after nicely fielding Ansel's bunt, but the runner in trying to make home on the play was nipped at the plate, thus finishing their one and only chance to score during the entire contest. Al­ though being knocked out of the box, Thurlwell had the honor of making Elgin's lonely hit, a little single over second. McHenry started to score right from the beginning, forcing three runs over home plate in the first inning. Davis, the first batter up for McHenry, waited until four bad ones had gone by and walked to first, he immediately stole second by making a pretty slide. Gibbs could not connect. Pfanmiller was hit by pitched ball and went to first. Evanson flew out to third but Bending came in with a timely single scoring Davis and advancing Pfanmill­ er to third, the latter coming in when Schroeder let Heimer's grounder go through him. Bending crossed the home plate with the third rnn of the inning after F. Thurlwell had pushed the bi*H safely. Schreiner ended the inning by striking out. No scoring was done in the second round but in the third the Greens land­ ed another pair of tallies, this coming through a base on balls, a single by Bending and a double by F. Thurlwell. The fourth ended with nothing doing. The fifth round is what took the life out of Elgin, who in this inning fell sound to sleep and never woke up until nine locals had registered on the score sheet. The scores came through from hits, two bases on balls and five errors. After this the locals could do wo more scoring.

The score at the end of the ninth inning stood l^to'3 in favor of Hebron, but Ostend has a good excuse that on account of the constant downpour of t-ain the grounds were unfit- to play on, being covered with mud and water. Had it been a uice dry day the Ostend boys would.have given them a good run for their money, which they are capa­ ble of doing. ! •}' (xHine T.»f»or l>«y. On next Monday afternoon, labor day, the Greens will have for their oppon­ ents the Ostends. The latter team has lost bnt two games this season, and judging from the kind of ball they h^ve been playing, will give the Greens a hard tussel. Game called,->t two thirty, p. in. ' .V'.i.

Judges 18-4. We may boast that no navy eould de­ feat ours, no country make us slaves, but we are already fighting a losing fight against the enemy whose artillery is the bung bole of the whiskey barrel, the spigot^of the beer keg, and the drugged smoke of the deadly cigaret Those of us who see the peril need to be Isaiahs. Our "line u] o.i line and frecept upon precept" will not be in vain. Al­ ready temperance education in our schools is telling, and the liquor sellers keenly feel it. Already economic argu ments have aronsed employers to make prohibition laws of their own, and to fight the saloon with warm lunches and reading rooms. Let ufi at it un­ c e a s i n g l y . J . ' • When theresolutions fill temperance were read at the Methodist Episcopal annual conference at Pasadena, con­ siderable excitement was aroused over the vote to adopt the report of the tern- perence committee, a clause 6f which bound every member of the conference to vote the prohibition ticket. After a sharp discussion, the conference voted by a standing vote of 52 to 50 not to ex- pearge this portion of the report. The paragraph is as follows: "We believe the statement made by our general superintendent in the Episcopal address to the last general conference is true, viz: That the trafic in intoxicating liquor cannot be legalized without sin, hence we as members of that body, will not support any person for public office who is in sympiathy with the liquor trafic, nor will be affiliated with any political party which is not opposed to the license system. If the preachers had fought the devil as bard over whiskey as they have one another over water the world would be a good deal nearer Heaven. Prohibition is clearly gaining ground in Canada. In December last a poll taken in Ontario, the largest province, gave the enormns majority of 100,000. With the exception of Quebec every province has now declared prohibition by an immense majority. God sends every man to shine in some sphere. Tfye torch of man's creed must be lighted by Christ. A great Christian is a light to Christendom. ' A great states man is a light to the state. A great citizen is a light to the citgt. A great scholar is a light to the school. . A Touching Story is the saving from death, of the baby girl of Geo. A. Eyler, Cumberland, Md. He writes: "At the age of 11 months, our little girl was in declining health, with serious Throat Trouble, and two physicians gave her up. We were al­ most in dispair, when we resolved to try Dr* King's New Discovery for Con­ sumption, Coughs and Colds. The first bottle gave relief; after taking four bottles she was cured, and is now in per­ fect health." Never fails to relieve and cure a cough or cold. At N. H. Pet­ esch's and Julia A.
