READING DAILY TIMES, READING, FRIDAY, JULY 3, 1908. 5 RASEBALL TRIMS TRENTON IN A GILT-EDGED GAME THE JERSEYMEN DRAW BUT THREE RUNS, WHILE THE LOCAL TRI-STATERS CHALK UP FIVE. played gilt-edged game Readine, Johnny Barthold, who held forth for eight.

and one-third innings, and Georgie Boyce, who was on the slab for two-thirds of an inning after his predecessor weakened, and defeated Johnny Carney's Potters, yesterday afternoon. The score was 5 to 3. ish, for it was not until the last TrenInterest in the game held to tie the finton man was down that Reading was sure of victory, Only one slip was made during the contest and that was by Trenton, in the second inning. Walters, a side- who was on the mound for the Potters, felt somewhat sore because Crooks bumped him for a single, and tried to catch him napping. In doing so he volleyed the ball against the bleacher fence.

Crooks made the best of the break and hotfooted to second. A moment later Freddie Baker clouted the ball for a sack and Crooks, who had a good lead, had no trouble to reach the This was the first run of the plate. game. In the third Trenton evened the score. Hartman cracked out a single, was sacrificed to second by Walters and scored on a single by Cannell, who, a moment later, stole second.

He was stranded however, for Magoon flied out to there, Bill Clay and the hard-hitting Hoey fouled out to Bill Stroh. Walters became somewhat rattled in the third inning and, before he could collect himself, Reading rolled up three runs for a total of four. Barthold was and easy out, Hartman to Stem. Stroh landed on the ball for a base. A pass to Shaughnessy shoved Stroh to second.

Lelivelt cracked out a single and the bags were full. Clay was given his base on balls and Stroh was forced home, Shaughnessy moving to third and Lelivelt to second. Then came the prettiest and, at the same time, fastest play of the game. Weigand dumped down a little bunt and Shaughhessy, who had a good lead, shot across the plate. While Murray fielded out Weigand at first Lelivelt nosed out a run ahead of the ball from Stem.

In the meantime Bill Clay reached third. He died there, too, for Crooks flied out to Cannell. Reading made its last run in the sixth inning. Weigand singled, was sacrificed to second by Crooks, and scored on Baker's rattling triple along the right field foul line. For seven innings Barthold held his grip, but in the eighth he wavered and Trenton scored two runs.

Magoon, first up, was out, Lynch to Crooks. Hoey caught the ball for a single. Murray fouled out to Stroh. Moran was sent to first on balls, moving Hoey to second. Gleason slipped in a two-bagger and Hoey and Moran came home.

Stem ended the trouble by flying out to Weigand. Matters assumed a dubious aspect in the ninth, as, for a time, it looked as though Trenton would not only tie the score but win out, because. Barthold plainly showed he was in distress. Hartman, first up, was sent to first on being hit with a pitched ball. Walters' rap forced out Hartman at second, Weigand to Lynch.

A pass to Cannell shoved Walters to second. Weigand did not care to take any chances of losing the game, so he sent Barthold to the bench and put in Boice. Coming in fresh and without any warming up, Boice was not able to locate the plate and he walked Magoon. This filled the bags and a little single would have tied up the game in a jiffy. The hard-hitting Hoey was next up, but all he could do was to rasp the ball to Crooks.

Quick as a flash Crooks whipped the ball to Stroh and Walters was forced out at the plate. The bases were still full and the trouble was by no means at an end. It ended happily for Reading, however, for Murray was out on his drive, Lynch to Crooks. Manager Weigand has been juggling the batting order the past few days in an effort to get the best results. Yesterday Shaughnessy appeared at the top, and it seemed to do the big fellow good.

He got in two singles, one a bit scratchy and the other clean, and had two stolen bases. There appears to be only one more improvement necessary, and that.is to move up Freddie Baker, since he is finding the ball again. When Barthold was sent to the bench he showed plainly that he was mad. He wanted to beat Trenton himself. Weigand made a wise move, however, when he sent in Boice, for Barthold was all but in and, had he remained in the game, there is no telling what would have happened.

Barthold's ambition may have been crimped, but, if he has the club's interests at heart, he will not kick at anything that is done to win games. The score: Trenton. A.B. R. H.

DERR'S REPORT. Editorial Comment on the Distinguished Berks Attorney's before the Bar Association of the State. Cyrus G. Derr, a Reading attorney of prominence, acting as chairman of the "committee on grievances" of the Berks county bar, submitted a report the other day, the reading of which created much merriment among lawyers and judges at the time, and yet rather forcibly called attention to a situation which is present in many jurisdictions. Mr.

Derr's principal grievance was that near relatives of judges practiced at the legal bars. He humorously pointed out the advantage these near relatives had over other members of the bar. His particular grievance was against the practicing of sons of judges, but, of course, he named no specific instance. He probably had in mind, among other cases, one in a near county where protests made against favoritism shown a son of the court, extending through years, and ended in the son being landed on the bench, were so serious as to preclude the idea of humor. The report of Mr.

Derr's committee recommended, I that as it was impossible to prevent judges from having male children, the attorneys should combine to elect those having no sons practicing, or who would agree to direct male heirs into some other calling. Speaking seriously, the judges of our courts are possessed of very human propensities, and it is seldom, perhaps, that they can bring themselves to be absolutely impartial in the assignment and even in the trial of cases, and in showing favors of various kinds, where their opportunity of doing so is so great. In making 'appointments of auditors, and other matters of this nature, each and every member of the bar may be recognized, but is it not natural that the more lucrative or more important assignments should go to some particular friend or favorite, or relative? This condition, however, prevails in every walk of life, and in other professions, possibly to a far greater extent than it does in the legal. Judges do undoubtedly, in the majority of instances, Strive to divest themselves of either prejudices or favoritisms, and succeed to a remarkable extent, but they are human, and liable to err, and occasionally there is just I ground for criticism of their course along the particular line which Mr. Deer made the ground of his complaint.

His grievance report, couched in kindly and humorous language, will probably affect something more than just the entertainment it afforded the bar association at the time, even though Berks county judges may be more than ordinarily undeserying of criticism in this particuFlar. Miss Martha Van Rensselaer, supervisor of the reading course for farmers' wives conducted by the Agricultural College of, Cornell University, believes that there should be a woman judge in Juvenile courts where girls are tried. She bases her opinion on personal observation of various juvenile courts, notably those in New York city. She believes that there are many questions which girls would answer truthfully if there was a woman on the bench, but which they now invariably lie about when questioned by a man. This is one of the very few instances in which Miss Van Rensselaer believes segregation of the two sexes would be beneficial.

LUTHER HECKMAN. Word has been received by Shoemakersville relatives of the tragic death in a powder mill explosion of Luther Heckman, aged 21 years, son of Mr. and Mrs. William Heckman, of Louviers, Col. Young Heckman was former resident of Shoemakersville, but had lived at Littleton, for 15 vears.

A month ago he took the position of mixer of nitro-glycerin at the Dupont powder mill. Nitro-glycerin is a combination of glycerin, sulphuric acid and nitric acid. At the mixing plant the acids were neutralized to form the combination. At the time of the explosion he was the only person in the building, which stood 1,000 feet away from any other building of the plant, and the cause of the explosion will never be known. It occurred on Saturday, the 20th, at 10.30 a.

A London newspaper printed nearly three columns of a description of the trousseau of the late Miss Reid, giving all those details as to lingerie which are dear to the feminine heart.

Then it published an editorial saying it was shocking that such a thing could have taken place and that no British bride would have permitted such publicity. This seems to be a case of mixed ethics. Why did the editor print the news if it was sO offensive? It wasn't. It made mighty good reading and was read. A POINTER FOR FARMERS.

Current Comment (Altoona Tribune.) A pointer to farmers that might be well worth making note of is given by the Franklin Evening News when it says: Evidently the farmer has been neglecting the bean crop. We are now buying in Austria and elsewhere the additional tons of this staple we have to have, and indications are that this year will not improve matters. Beans fetch good prices, grow on soils not well fitted for most other crops and can be. made to yield well if planted later than most anything else we raise in one year except buckwheat and one or two of the grasses. They require close attention to prevent spoiling at harvest time, but not half what tobacco requires, and it seems that there ought to be more attention to the opportunity offered in this line." POSTAL REFORM.

(Indianapolis News.) We may follow this idea of reduced postage into other things, and no people have a greater call to follow it than we. We have the highest postage on earth for special communication, and in practice we make almost no use of postal facilities in conveying packages of moderate weight. We can send such al package to New Zealand cheaper than we can send it to any part of our own I country. We record the prophecy that this will not long be so. It is an a absolutely undeniable fact that every increase of facilities of whatever kind among a people increases the general sum of wealth and intelligence, and that every barrier placed in the way of trade or communication is at the expense of revenue, public and private, and to the derogation of general enlightenment, M'FARLAND-WELSH BATTLE.

22 North Fifth Next to Gas office AUTOMOBILE NEWS PRACTICAL DEMONSTRATIONS AT THE BUFFALO CONVENTION THE COMING WEEK--VALUE OF THE GLIDDEN TOUR--SOMETHING OF TIRES AND OTHER NOTES. to The Times New York, July the National Good Roads Convention, to be held at Buffalo the coming week the practical demonstrations will be of a thoroughness unprecedented. These will be under the direct charge of State Engineer Frederick Skene, with men from his department supervising it and accurate data will be compiled into tables of comparative cost. On Bailey avenue a demonstration of the treatment of dirt roads with graders, drags, will be made over a three-quarter mile stretch, and demonstrations of gravel, brick and macadam construction will be given on seven different highways. George C.

Diehl, of Buffalo, is chairman of the A. A. A. committee on practical demonstration. There is every prospect in another year of more amicable and sympathetic relations between the various trade and other organizations.

In the opinion of an expert on such subjects, the highway locomotive, or motor car, will not in the future be a competitor, but will serve as an important auxiliary to its fellow of the steel rail. The motor truck and wagon, according to this authority, will act as feeders to the railroad, hauling produce and manufactures over improved highways, through country districts, to the shipping points more expeditiously and at a lower net cost than they now are moved, automobile spinning S) smoothly along full of beautiful women is an inspiring sight, eh?" it is coming toward you and one of them is driving, it ls really quite thrilling." Above everything else, the value of the Glidden tour is in the fact that it shows the reliability of cars on American roads of all sorts, the roads that touring cars have to take. It is this fact that makes significant the absence of imported cars in the run. Last year there was none. "Although the tire exceeds in its expensiveness every other accessory of the automobile, it is abused beyond all reason by about 95 per cent.

of motor owners and users," says one who knows something about tires. He adds: "Above all, too little attention is given 1 to the amount of air pressure in a tire. So long as it is not almost flat, most drivers will let a tire run; yet every mile that a tire is traveled with insufficient air pressure there is more service taken out of it than in hundreds of miles when it is properly inflated. To secure the best results keep tires properly inflated, free from oil, the small cuts repaired and the tires bolted on the rim." Because work was progressing on the Long Island Motor Parkway while nothing was being said, it seems likely that there may be more of the roadway completed for the Vanderbilt Cup race than the public has been led to expect. Entries for the Glidden tour contest close July 3 (tomorrow) with F.

E. Hower, 760 Main street, Buffalo, N. Y. Recent accidents on the road indicate an over production of men who think fancy driving a proper thing. In a letter to the New York office, H.

O. Smith, chairman of the contest committee of the American Motor Car Manufacturers' Association, says: "I stopped in Buffalo a portion of a day recently and was astonished to learn the amount of work the Touring Board under Chairman Hower was doing in connection with the Glidden tour. "A committee of three or four meet daily and Chairman Hower lays before them all questions, complaints, of any kind which have been submitted to him and require consideration. So that it seems as though every effort is being made to meet all reasonable requests and wishes of the contemplated participants in the tour. "The route laid out is to my mind ideal for the purpose.

While it will mean going which is not unreasonable to expect of a car, yet the car which performs perfectly will be entitled to 0 great deal of credit. There is enough hilly going to test both the motor and and the question of proper brake equipment is one in which the Americans are deeply interested. I believe that this year's Glidden tour will be the greatest American contest ever held, if not the greatest contest in the world. It is my observation that more general interest is shown in the Glidden tour this year than ever before, not only among the manufacturers, but also among dealers and owners, and to a surprising degree, among those who really do not own or drive a motor car. "I am convinced that the West will be well represented in the tour, and that Indiana will make a good showing in the entry list, and that Indianapolis, in particular, will make a creditable showing.

I can not see how any manufacturer can fail to look seriously upon the Glidden tour. It is a competitive contest that gives the best possible opportunity to draw direct comparisons between the various products."
