Vernon battled bravely, but without avail, against the Bates' Pirates of Columbus Sunday and only let down when Gleich knocked out a home run in the first of the ninth and gave the Pirates the game, 4 to 3. Bowden pitched excellent ball and the locals fielding was unusually clear of errors, but the inability to bunch hits caused the downfall of the Mt.

Vernon club in what was considered by all: a very good game. The Columbus team tallied twice in the first inning. McCreedy fanned, Nadjek hit one out over first and then scored on Trautman's three-bagger into left field. A wild pitch by Bowden let Trautman in. Bateman attempted to bunt on the third strike and was out, while Jorgenson tallied the third out by the route of Maison to Mondron.

Mt. Vernon failed to land a run in the first. In the second, Sullivan walloped the ball into deep center to the tune of three bases. Porter hit an easy grounder toward third base and went to second while McCreedy tried to trap Sullivan. A sacrifice fly by Thompson brought Sullivan in, Maison and Bowden making the other outs.

Trautman landed on first in the fourth on Porter's muff and was pushed to third by Bateman's hit over second, scoring on Jorgenson's single into left. Bateman was caught at second on Thompson's peg and a double play by Popejoy and Mondron retired, Jorgenson and Gleich. Popejoy, in the sixth, hit out a clean double-sacker, took third on Sullivan's bingle and stole home. Sullivan stole second, went to third on a wild throw by Jorgenson and remained there when Porter, Thompson and Maison went out in order. In the eighth, Mt.

Vernon made her last run. Mondron walked, Bowden flied out to Bateman and Maxwell went to first on Dunnick's booting the ball, advancing Mondron to second. Sapp hit an easy one to McCreedy and the latter tagged Mondron, Maxwell going to third and scoring on Popejoy's single. Sapp was called out in a doubtful decision at the plate. With the score 3 to 3 at the end of the eighth, things looked like an extra inning game until Gleich swatted out his homer.

The ball rolled under the fence, but Sullivan's arm was long enough to reach it. In the locals half, KNOX COUNTY SAVINGS BANK Keep Your Eye on the Boy who is saving his pennies, nickels and dimes.

Fairly bristling with arms, caparisoned in all the accoutrements of a true huntsman and carrying a large blunderbuss, C.

A. Young of Springfield, Ohio, rolled into the city Saturday noon and loudly asked where the "hunt" was going to take place. The blank faces that this question produced would have put Mt. Vernon in the "boob" class for Mr. Young, had it not been for some sharp bystanders seizing upon the idea that the outing of the Knox county Fish and Game association was referred to.

Thereupon, the location and the distance of the said "hunt" was carefully described to the Springfield sport, much to his dismay and chagrin. But, like a true sportsman, he took careful inventory of his goods and chattels, made his way to the nearest garage and hired an auto to convey him to the fertile field of sport he had been led to believe existed in the county of Knox and passed a delightful few hours with our foremost manipulators of the gun and rod.

GREEN Explains Compensation Law In Public Address State Senator William Green of Coshocton addressed a good-sized audience on the public square Saturday evening, in which he took up at some length the workmen's compensation law and explained its provisions in a very satisfactory manner.

Senator Green is a candidate for the Democratic nomination for congress in this district and took occasion to define his position on tions in the public mind.

Senator Green is a' good speaker and was listened to attentively.

ANNUAL REPORT Of Juvenile Probate Officer Purcell Is Filed Showing The Work Done In His Department Also Assistance Rendered Under Mothers' Pension Law And The Amount Of Money Allowed In The County Officer Makes An Appeal For Better Home Training Juvenile Probation Officer Patrick Purcell has just filed the sixth annual report, for the year ending July 31, 1914. The report shows that the juvenile officer investigated 426 complaints ing the year. There appeared before the juvenile court 54 boys and 9 girls. Ten adults were cited to appear. There were 388 cases and complaints settled out of court by the probation officer.

There were 27 hearings for delinquency, 6 for neglect and 5 contributing to delinquency. There were 13 hearings of which there is a record and 25 hearings of which there is no record. Two boys were committed to the industrial school. The sum of $430.75 was collected from parents for support of neglected minor children. The report shows that the juvenile officer traveled 2,350 miles in ing calls, making investigations, and conveying children to the industrial schools and children's home.

Another feature of the report pertains to the mothers' pension department from April 1, to August 1, 1914. There were 32 applicants. Thirteen were not considered, number of hearings 19, number of applications allowed 16, number refused 3. Grounds for allowance were: Husband dead husband disabled 3, husband deserted 1, husband prisoner 1. Amount granted: April $72, May $224, June $239, July $282.

Total $817. Number of children benefitted by mothers' pension: Boys 22, girls. 28. Total 50. Number of mothers now drawing sions 16, age of youngest mother age of oldest mother 49.

In his report, Probation Officer cell says we do not need laws, more church or schools, but what we do need is proper home training of children by parents and public sentiment for law enforcement. He expresses the view that civil law will never make boys and girls honest and moral; we must begin at the home---at I the family fireside. In closing his report, Mr. Purcell says: "The whole spirit and purpose of the juvenile law is to help and assist the child in the home where it needs assistance, and to compel parents to perform their duties where they are neglecting their children, and help them with the child when they are helpless. The court of probation officers are not desirous of bothering with a child whose parents can and will take care of it.

The parents of an offending child are always given warning of the child's offense, and urged to correct it, and if parents would heed these warnings it would relieve the juvenile court of many unpleasant duties and save parents many heart aches, and in some instances disgrace. How often I have warned mothers of the companionship of their daughters, and how often I have been told by mothers that they knew enough to control their own children. But in some instances the same mothhave come to me later with their stories. "Many parents are true to their own homes and children, but the sanctity and security of each home pends on how well other homes are conducted, and every parent should watch with care three things--their children's companions, places of amusement and their reading matter; and when their children are out at night be sure that they know where they are and with whom they are associating; and mothers and fathers should be companions to their children and teach them the great lesson of purity, and that no secrets should be kept from fathers and mothers." JUBILANT Is Governor Cox Over The Outlook Visits Over The State Are Pleasing To Him Columbus, Ohio, August by a day of rest at his home here Governor James M. Cox was juto-day over political prospects.

Although he refrained from making any statement concerning the primary election a week from tomorrow, the Governor and his advisors consider that the only thing remaining is to determine the size of the majority. "Last week was the most remarkable I ever put in on the stump," said Governor Cox, in reviewing the situation today. "I visited the hill counties in Southeastern Ohio, the northeastern part of the state, and the rich agricultural districts of the northwest. Everywhere conditions noted were It is my judgment there will be more Progressive and Republican votes cast for the Democratic ticket this fall than were ever cast for the nominees of the Democratic party. "From what I heard and saw I can say candidly that the tax issue is settled.

Not only has the Warnes law been vindicated, but the people pleased with its operation and are certain in nearly every county to receive the benefits of the increase. At many points I asked the audience this question: 'Have the valuations of your farms and homes and personal property been "The answer I invariably got was a lusty roar of Then I continued that since there has been an increase of hundreds of millions some one must be standing heavy additions. 'It's the tax was the answer almost invariably. One farmer told me he thought that some of the former assessors who were SO negligent as to allow property to escape taxation should be prosecuted for violation of their oaths of office. The effort to stir up those who failed to pass the civil service tests has fallen down badly, and it seems that further fight against the new taxation listing system as embodied in the Warnes act is likely to be dropped.

"In Akron I found the workmen aroused over the danger to the workmen's compensation system if the Administration should meet defeat at the polls in November. The industrial centers will be with us and the rural folks are coming over to our side very fast. One thing that interested the people much was the discussion of the new school code. Nothing so impressed them as the fact that 11,000 teachers are being trained this summer for the year's work, and at the normal schools I found the places crowded to the capacity of the institutions." Governor Cox has nearly a solid week of speaking, finishing at the big Duckworth picnic in Cincinnati next Saturday. KILLED Was A Bellville Man On B.
