Green) An excellent game of basebail was spoiled by the disgusting umpiring of one Mr. Lewis, yesterday after- noon at the Athletic Field, when the Tampans defeated the locals by the score of one to nothing. In the ‘fourth inning for the visitors, Lu- jan singled, Rodriguez sacrificed, Guiterrez singled scoring Lujan, this being the only run in the game. In the fifth for Lakeland, sSpivey singled and stole second, Meharg sacrificed, Eubanks bunted towards first and Spivey was safe at the plate by three feet but Lewls called ‘him out. This was the rankest piece of umpiring that has ever baen seen on the local grounds, ani as it would have tied the score, th> crowd was about ready to lynch his ump- ship. One of the spectatirs rushed out on the diamond and delivered a slow drop in the region of Lewis’ ear, and a general argumeut pre- vailed. For the benefit of those who still seem to think that 3vivey was out at the plate, T will state that Catcher Gufterrez said last night that he never did touch 3pivey. It is hard to place the blame for such happenings, but it seems as if the head men of the league ian Tampa are more at fault than anybody e'se. Lewis’ rotten work in the last l.ake- | land-Tampa game at Tampa, at which the league cfiicers were pres- ent, was enough to let the man go then and there. Manager Leon stated last night that he had asked Yor another umpire a number of times but his request was refused. Lakeland has got the bad end of the stick in every game she has played with Tampa and the umpire has just delivered over the contest signed and sealed to the Tampans. A yellow streak is the last thing to be found in the best little town in the State, but when we get beat we want to get licked fair and square and not have it taken away from us the way it was yesterday. Tampa has got the pennant cinched, but when the final box score is made up, right down in one corner of it she can place one big ASSIST to the credit of the umpire. Garlets heaved a splendid game with the exception of the fourth. The locals simply could not fathom the deliv- ery of Munoz and only three hits were registered against him. Erie lwns,the star fieldee, rrabbing seven out of eight chances, the bobble be- ing a difficult ball. The summary: Lakeland N W ] Spivey, 1f Meharg, 2b ... :’Eubanlm, Beiivs (Chambers, 3b..

New York, Oct. 3.—With the most fearful war in history raging .in Europe, calling many reservists fathers from this country, hundreds of children have made application at the child labor bureau of the board of education for working papers. The countless ones who crowd the patient lines of would-be wage earn- ers have left school to fill, as best they may, the places left vacant by 'some “man of the family,” who has gone where duty calls. One of the most pathetic features of the situa- tion is the fact that ‘“money is so tight” in the hands of those who have formerly been so generous in ‘their aid of the New York child labor committee that numbers of these children cannot be saved from their fate. Yesterday, they knew the drud- gery of school work, maternal grief ‘over the broken body of a sawdust 'doll; today they are taking out work- ‘ing papers; tomorrow, deep wells of anxiety mark the orbs where child- ish tears signalled for attention be- fore, machine oil stalns the hands that held a doll, and upon their slen- der shoulders rests the burden of support. For there is no father. ‘PRISON ASSOCIATION MEETING ' St. Paul, Minn., Oct. 3.—The annual meeting of the American Prison Association is being held in this city opening today and contin- uing until the 8th of the month.
