' CORDOVA WINS
SECOND GAME
FROM LISCUM
Cordova fans were treated to an
other hair-raising ball game yesterday,
when the home boys won another
^gatne from the Fort Liscum soldier
team, the final score being 5 to 3.
And again to “Jimmie” Chambers be
* longs chief credit for the victory, for
after the first inning, when the sol
diers scored all three of their runs,
the Cordova pitcher showed excellent
form all the way. Several times the
soldiers rallied and had men on
bases, in one inning three on the paths
with only one out, but each time
Chambers pitched the team out of the
bad holes, or was backed up at the
crucial moment by excellent support
from his teammates.
A big crowd of fans turned out to
see the game, despite the threatening
weather. It drizzled for two or three
innings, then cleared up.
Several thousand dollars are said
to have changed hands on the outcome
of the game. The soldiers boys were
_i —__l, nn/1 iironf VvqpIt
guuu iiyooio, uw tt ^ » **'**'• ---
to Fort Liscum at midnight a happy,
ii poorer, bunch of good fellows.
Things looked bad for Cordova in
the first inning, when Lieut. Cherry,
first man up, lined out a clean single
to center on the first ball pitched.
Hutchison followed with a slow one
to Chambers and the latter threw the
ball high over first base, Cherry going
to third. After Hutchison stole sec
■* ond, Prater sent a ground to Gilbert
which retired Cherry at the plate on
Gilbert’s pretty throw, Prater being
safe on the fielder’s choice and Hutch
ison perched on third. Baker hit to
Koch, who tried to catch Hutchison
at home base, but failed, Baker being
credited with a hit and Prater going
to third. Chambers then contributed
a wild pitch which scored Prater and
advanced Baker to third, from where
he scored when Gayner was thrown
out at first. Murphy went out, Cham
bers to Gilbert, retiring the side.
» Cordova went out in one-two-threft
order in the first inning, but in the
second inning, after two men were out
four hits in a row by Taylor, Matson,
Peterson and Chambers, followed by
an error by Allen, allowed three runs
and tied the score. From then on
^intii the last half of the eight the
game w'as a battle royal, with victory'
almost in sight for either side on
several occasions, only to be blocked
by the clever work of the pitchers or
the support back of them. “Old Fox
Allen of the visitors, weakened in the
eighth, however, and his teammates
wobbled behind him, and after the
smoke screen cleared away it was
found that the barrage laid down by
the home boys had sent two more
tallies over the plate. Allen made
two wild pitches and an error of judg
ment trying to head off a runner at
the plate, while two infield safeties
were "cfealked up because of the slow
ness of the soldiers boys in handling
f the ball. The locals did not fail to
take advantage of these flukes by the
visitors, Koch and Steele scoring in
the melee.
The visitors could not put over a
rally in their half of the ninth and
the game was over.

CENTURIES OF POLITICAL STRIFE
HAVE NOT MARRED THE BEAUTY
AND CHARM OF OLD ADRIANOPLE
ADKIANOPLE, Thrace, July 19 (by
Associated Press).—The decadence of
the two centuries, present political
and economic disintegration, was with
out end, and an uncertain future,
have been unable to destroy the in
effable charm the Turks originally
gave to this city of eighty-odd thou
sand souls. Adrianople is still a
holy city in faith and in appearance.
Romance still abides here.
“The Orient is the only place left
to Europe w'here cities seen at close
range are beautiful,” remarked Jules
Sebotin, a French aviator, while visit
ing the most beautiful of all mosques,
Sinan’s masterpiece here, the mosque
of a thousand windows but one,
| erected at the order of Sultan Eelim
II, in the sixteenth century.
The first impression of the city had
been one of infinite beauty. Arriving
from across the lofty Balkans in an
j airplane, the city had been seen with
a rush, a place of spires, and slate
domes and red roofs, planted at the
intersection of three rivers. It had
been a welcomed sight. It had come
at the end of a four-hour’s ride and it
was journey’s end to a tired aviator.
Seen from aloft, the city, surround
ed by populars at its outer rim, its
house gardens within the city showing
green vines and flowers, its outly
ing fields bare, aroused memories of
Mardin on the mountains, Diarbekr by
the Tigris and hosts of other Turkish
cities, always sleeping in beauty,
whether visited by sunshine or moon
lieht.
i The longer the stay in Adrianople,
the more the charm of this beauty
' grows, a charm that is as great afoot
as aloft.
Adrianople is a city that has the
tone of country friendship about it,
not unlike a county seat of the south.
The center of the agriculture ex
change business of Eastern and West
ern Thrace, it is frequented by peas
ants and traders of Turkish, Greek,
Bulgarian, Jewish and Armenian na
tionalities. There is record of but one
American ever having done business
in the city, and he came there from
Paris and bought up all the brooms.
While no day knows what the next
may bring forth in the w$y of politi
cal strife and crime, today the city
preserves this tone of friendship and
order. Strangers as they go along
the streets, or visit the shops, are
treated with kindly concern. The
Turkish officers salute courteously
and there is no glint of hostility in
the eyes of the Turkish soldiers car
rying their new rifles, recently dis
tributed them by Colonel Djefer Tayar
Bey. His martial law, is administered
with gentleness, though there is no
doubt that the silken glove hides a
mailed fist.
The decadence of Adrianople goes
at a dignified pace. There is little or
none of the seething squallor and
dirt and noise and poverty of Constan
tinople. There is none of the clamor
of Constantinople’s street cars and
automobiles. There are a few ragged
beggar children who besiege the
stranger but for the most part Adrian
ople endures its shabby gentility
with pride and calm- Here there are
none of the fallen houses and dusty
streets which characterize the major
ity of the cities of Asia Minor.
Any day the city may surprise the
world by tremendous massacre, but
meanwhile its life goes on as smooth
ly as the flow of the rivers.
Undoubtedly the life of Adrianople
is fraught with that deep mystery
which seems to cling inevitably to
the sinful, idle, sleepy Orient but of
this mystery the stranger sees only
the charm.
Prayers are called from the minar
ettes, as of old; also the old and new
bazaars do a slender business in sell
ing American and European calicoes
and homespun clothes ancT Turkish
silver-mounted pipes and cigarette
holders, rugs, junk, to passing peas
ants and customers ;or else, when
they are lacking, they swap with each
other, after the happy manner of all
the Orient.
Decadence seems to have height
ened the beauty of the majestic old
mosque of Sultan Bayzid. The win
dows are broken in. the locks are rust
ed in the doors, the grass is growing
up between the flagstones, the foun
tain in the court no longer splashes
its water in the sunlight and the inter
ior of the mosque itself is slowly de
teriorating. Few worshippers come
here but on the drowsy Friday after
noons, the Mussulman’s day of wor
ship, come a devoted band of musi
cians and singers. The aviator and
the Associated Press correspondent
stumbled upon this group as they
turned to go away, one of the red
fezed band came and saluted with
the lovable simplicity of the Turk
and said “Allah esmarladik,” “May
God abide with you.”
SWITCHES BAGS;
HE GETS BABY
“Broken Blossom” Wishes Infant
on Stranger—Babe Is
“Accomplice.”
Bridgeport, Conn.—A'New York girl,
calling herself a “broken blossom,” the
mother of an eight-weeks-old baby,
abandoned it in the Grand Central sta
fion in a clever way that permitted
her offspring to enter the home of a
well-to-do citizen of Bridgeport, un
known to himself. Only he did not '
keep the baby, but turned it over to a
hospital.
The baby’s mother, unable to sup
port it and unable also to give it a
name, put her child in a large travel
ing bag, gave it a fresh bottle of milk,
and when the Bridgeport citizen—Rob
ert F. Rohland—placed his own bag
on a ledge of one of the ticket win
dows in the station while he bought a
ticket, the mother swapped bags.
The baby, warm in the bag and hav
ing all the nourishment it needed
. j n i i 11 i i i

• Lungs.
must have gone to sleep shortly after
the substitution occurred, for there
was not a sound out of it on the trip
from Nefr York to Bridgeport. The
two bags were so much alike that
Mr. Rohland did not notice the sub
stitution until he got into his home.
When lie opened the bag the baby
was awakened and began lustily to
(est its lungs. The four hours in the
bag had apparently not hurt it a bit.
In the hag Mr. Rohland found a
note from the child’s mother. This
explained that the baby was eight
weeks old, had been baptized and that
the mother had been deserted by the
child’s father. The note further stated
that the mother was leaving New York
for California.
Mr. Rohland thought tilings over for
a while and then notified the police
and the Bridgeport hospital, which
took the baby in.
BOY, 14, SAVES GIBUS L!FE
Grasps Her by Hair and Pulis Her
Out of Sewer Into Which She
Had Fallen.
Philadelphia.—'Walking toward the
corner of Wright street, at the Penn
sylvania railj'ftad crossing in Mana
yunk. at dusk, Howard Clamplier, four
teen years old, saw a little girl just
ahead of him suddenly disappear. He
stood for a moment in astonishment.
As there has been considerable talk
about spirits of late, he at first was
disposed to believe the little girl had
vanished in some mysterious way.
But a cry made him run to the cor
ner. There he found the lid off a
sewer inlet. Peering down into the
hole he saw the head of a child. She
was struggling in four feet of water.
The boy reached down and was
able to grasp the little girl by the
hair. In this way he was able to lift
her until he could catch hold of her
arms and raise her to the street. By
that time she was half drowned.
