"All the world's a stage," and if a play makes good in the cities it is •ent on a tour through the country. The world's series is occupying the center of the atage, particularly in •astern United States, and it is na¬ tural that we should find counter¬ part* in the smaller communities. Just •• there are aspiring Babe Ruth's, Ty Cobbs, Hughey Jennings, Walter Johnson's, etc., among the baseball players, »o are there others who aspire to be baseball reporters and have tfieir names signed to their stories of tke game. We will admit a considerable lack «f interest in the world's series •mong the people of this vicinity. There may even be some who do not know what we are talking about now. But we would remind all that baae- k»ll is the American National Game, and occupies the attention of the American youth from the timo he is able to bounce a rubber ball on the floor until he is so old he has to have aome read to him about the games. It ia true, that many of us forget our in¬ terest in the game, and loac touch with what is doing in the baseball world. For this reason, and because the world's series is in the air, that we are giving our readers a baseball page this week. We have endeavored to make this page as near like that which our city brethren are compelled to read as pos- oible. It seems to be the fashion among city newspapers to have as nany reports written of each game as possible. It matter* not whether the reporter is a baseball writer or not, so long as ho has a name that will ad¬ vertise his report. Among those writing up the world's series are the following: Ring Lardner, Babe Ruth, tke Home Run King; Arthur Brisbane, a noted writer who never saw a league game before; Jack Dempaey, world's heavyweight champion, who waa en- piged to write up the games, but was loaught in a law suit at Batavia, N. Y.; Damon Runyon, who thinks himself ^uite a baseball expert; Cullen Cain another of the same; Pop Anson, an e'' ' gie \iamati ,the cnpUiins of the ber the fast team work of the infield with pleasure, marred only by the four errors in the fourth and fifth in¬ nings. It was a mistake to keep Hayes in the box, especially after the third in¬ ning, when they found him for three hits. If they had taken him out then the story might have been different. But at that the Giants would have been up against Brooks' baffling curves, and ypu can't win a baseball game without getting hits and runs. The Giants came to bat first and went out in one-two-three order. The first two Americans were easy outs, but Ba*)e got a swat into right for a base. Bailey was hit, and Eddings got a hit. Babe and Bailey scored and then Brooks struck out. Jewell was first up for the Giants but was out on an easy fly to Babe. Dartt hit one into left field, only to be caught in a double play, when Dun¬ ham hit one to Brooks who threw to Eddings. Eddings caught Dartt on second and threw to Bailey who got Dunham at first. The Americans failed to score in the second, although they left two on bases, getting one hit. The third was a blank for the Giants, although Hayes surprised himself and the crowd with a hit into center. But there were two out then and the ne.xt man filed to Steiner. Babe started off for the Americans in the third and got a two-bagger. Bailey hit a sacrifice fly to O'Malley, and Babe scored on Eddings hit. Brooks got a hit, scoring Eddings, but the next two up were easy outs. Score, Blossburg 4, Wellsboro 0. Tho Giants scored one in the fourth on one hit and two errors. Only the charity of the scorers pre- vfented that hit from being called an eiTor. They also scored again in the fifth on a couple of errors. The Americans pulled one in the fourth on two hits and an error, hut they were blanked 1, 2, 3, in the fifth, and again in the sixth. Babe started with a double in the seventh, but the rest failed to qtialify, although Babe scored. In the eighth Hayes missed Schultz'a liner, allowed one hit, and McDevitt's error filled tho bases, just in time for Babe to come to bat. He knocked a o-baggcr, scoring tw SCHOOL DAYS D MANSFIELD HIGH DEFEATED BY ATHENS AUCTION WEEK FROM MONDAY Mansfield High School suffered de- feat Saturday at Athens, the score being 13-0; not a bad score, but still a defeat.

BEEN DEAD A WEEK :! Half of Grading Is Pone and Office of Contracton^oved io ManKfi«fl. teas fame. In order that our n. derg may misn aothing of the thrills thai come to tha readers of city newspapers during the world's series, we are reporting the came between Blossburg and Wells¬ boro played here last Friday, as if it were one of the world's series games. We have endeavored an imitation of the reports of some of these various reporters, written as near as we can fuess it, aa they would have written <ihe game Friday. The game was as interesting as any of the world series Cames up to that time, and the play- era were of as great local reputation aa the others were of national repu- Ibation. This rather dull explanation- is made because the Lady-who-wonders-why- we-write-this-stnff can see neither the Cun we've had in writing it nor any reason why you should read it. It is atoo to dissolve a fear that she ex¬ pressed that you might think that we are the foolish ones, instead of the anes we are writing about. All the "world's a stage, aa we said before, and if a country editors wants to play tfie fool, what's to hinder. But seriously, we have tried to give you a sample of what other Ameri- •ans are getting in the reports of the haseball games that are played in their vicinity. We've been reading ilB» reports of dozen of writers who are telling millions of people about tile world's series and it hit our funny ¦pot ao hard we've been unable to get rid of it. The season is about over, however. In our write-up we are calling Wellsboro the Giants and Blossburg the Americans, because Tioga Coun- ty's own mighty sticker, also nick¬ named Babe, ia a Blossburg man. of the one through short that should have been good for one or more bases, but Jewell was in the way. The ball went to him so fast that if he had not caught it he would have been knock¬ ed out. But he caught it and walked over to third getting Mann, and thus made a double play unassi.<?ted. WellFboro ran into a double play in the sixth, two strike-outs and catch¬ ing Dartt stealing in the seventh, and another double play in the eighth. In the ninth the Giants began to play baseball. It looked as if Jewell's double play unassisted had put heart into them. O'Malley got his first hit, and then came Jewell for his fii-st. Dartt followed with his third hit. Jewell was caught at the home plate and Brooks- struck out two more men, so the hopes of the Wellsboro fans were dashed. Wellsboro 3. Score, Blossburg 9j FFV^E INNINGS WERE INTERESTING, SAYS BABE Octoher, 10, 192' — I - . nday i . . H. Kelts, a well-known and lifelong resident of this place, had been found deaa, sitting in his chair, at his home on West Williamson street, where he lived alone. It appears that Mr. Kelts had not been noticed around the premises for a week or more, and Monday moi-ning some of the neigh¬ bors thought it time to investigate, with the above result. A.s near as could bo figured out, Mr. Kelts had heen dead more than a week. The neighbors thought he mu'st be visiting his nephew, Emory Kelts, at Morris Run, the reason he didn't show up, as he made frequent trips up there during the past year, ar.d remained a few days. The coroner was notified, but no in¬ quest was thought necessary. Mr. Kelts had not been feeling well for some time, and it was thought that heart disease was the cause of his death. No arrangements have yet been made for the funeral, at this writing.

Mr. Binning lived in the Iowa corn belt for many years, consequently he knows something about com raising. He planted some Early Wonder corn in the same place he had com last year. Hilled it up the last time with a tihallow plow that did not tear the roots looee. And he got a stand of com that ran at least 200 bushels to the acre. Besides the field com there are two ears of pop com that are the largest we have ever seen raised in this sec¬ tion. The next Community Auction will be held in Mansfield Monday. October 24th, in conenction with the Golden Rule Sale of the Mansfield Advertis¬ ing Club. The Golden Rule Sale was postponed hecaupe the merrliers were so rushed they could not got around to have it at the regular time, which would have come very soon after the Fair. The Golden Rule Sale looks more promi.sing this time than every before. The busine.ia men who are back of it have listed a number of good bar¬ gains for the people of this commun¬ ity and will do all they can to make 1 the day pleasant and profitable to you. ' The Grange ladies called up yester¬ day and told us they wanted to serve another of their popular dinners, and this good news was received with pleasure by the members of the club. The dinner last time was pleasing to all who attended, and there was a hall full during tho dinner hour. Wallace Lowe, of the Auction Com¬ mittee, finds things looking more promising as the day for the auction approaches. He has a good start to¬ ward a big auction now, but will take whatever you may have to offer. Don't fail to list your stuff with him. If you will tell him about it before next Tuesday then it can be advertised in the Advertiser next week. Among the articles already listed are the following: Two Smith Premier Typewriters.

GIRL CORN RAISER ATTENDING NORMAL SCHOOL Saturday was far from being an ideal football day.H It rained all moming and the early part of the aft¬ ernoon. The game was one-sided from the kick-off. Sayre could not take the ball down the field. In spite of the slippery field and the wet ball few fumbles were made. Neat forward passes made the big gains for Mansfield. The number of the stu¬ dents at the game was not great. The few that were there made up in noise what they lacked in number. Tho line-up and score: Mansfield, 85 ' Sayre, 0 B.

At no time was the game in .4oubt, although there was* hope all the time that the Giants might get a few scores. They did finally gather in three runs, but they were unavail¬ ing against the Americans nine runs. It takes pitching, fielding, and hit¬ ting to win a baseball game. If you can't have all three then you must Have at least two. The Giants seem¬ ed shy on all three, and the Ameri- eans had only the hitting and pitch¬ ing. Their fielding was not up to standard. There were some good plays made, three of them double plays, but one felt that if their op¬ ponents had a hitting day, the field¬ ing would have shown up decidedly different. And yet one can remem- Outside the second, fifth and sixth innings the game was a good one. I got a single in the first, a double in the third, another single in the fourth and a double in eacK of the seventh and eighth innings. This maybe a rec¬ ord for the world's series, as I got a hit every time I came to bat, and I don't remember any one else ever do¬ ing it. Besides, while other good hit¬ ters permit themselves to be walked, I weuldn't let Hayes walk me a sin¬ gle time. I beat him to it on the walking game by stepping forward and hitting his throw before the um¬ pired called it a ball. Of course, I've got to admit that Brooks was pitching a remarkable game and that his eight strike-outa helped to keep the Wellsboro Giants from winning in spite of some of the difficult fielding that some of our boys missed and which the scorer might call errors. There was one ball that came to me that looked easy but I'll bet the scorer wouldn't have done any better with it than I did. It makes a difference where you sit whether a play is an error or a good attempt to kill a hit. Our boys fared pretty well with the hits. There were seven besides the five that I got. Hayes is a good pitcher but we've been able to find all of the good ones we've met this sea¬ son, except Massart, and those fel¬ lows down in Clearfield. Leave it to us to do the fielding that comes from good team work. Three double plays are pretty good evidence of the spirit in our team. The play of the individual is forgotten by our boys, as they would rather see tho team as a whole play a good game FOB SALE—6% BONDS The Tioga Valley Grange in Mans¬ field, Pa., offers an issue of $5,000.00 in 6% Ten Year Bonds which a part or all of said bonds may be called by the Grange on two months' notice.

We will admit a considerable lack «f interest in the world's series •mong the people of this vicinity. There may even be some who do not know what we are talking about now. But we would remind all that baae- k»ll is the American National Game, and occupies the attention of the American youth from the timo he is able to bounce a rubber ball on the floor until he is so old he has to have aome read to him about the games. It ia true, that many of us forget our in¬ terest in the game, and loac touch with what is doing in the baseball world.

It was a mistake to keep Hayes in the box, especially after the third in¬ ning, when they found him for three hits. If they had taken him out then the story might have been different. But at that the Giants would have been up against Brooks' baffling curves, and ypu can't win a baseball game without getting hits and runs.
The Giants came to bat first and went out in one-two-three order. The first two Americans were easy outs, but Ba*)e got a swat into right for a base. Bailey was hit, and Eddings got a hit. Babe and Bailey scored and then Brooks struck out.
Jewell was first up for the Giants but was out on an easy fly to Babe. Dartt hit one into left field, only to be caught in a double play, when Dun¬ ham hit one to Brooks who threw to Eddings. Eddings caught Dartt on second and threw to Bailey who got Dunham at first. The Americans failed to score in the second, although they left two on bases, getting one hit.
The third was a blank for the Giants, although Hayes surprised himself and the crowd with a hit into center. But there were two out then and the ne.xt man filed to Steiner. Babe started off for the Americans in the third and got a two-bagger. Bailey hit a sacrifice fly to O'Malley, and Babe scored on Eddings hit. Brooks got a hit, scoring Eddings, but the next two up were easy outs. Score, Blossburg 4, Wellsboro 0.
Tho Giants scored one in the fourth on one hit and two errors. Only the charity of the scorers pre- vfented that hit from being called an eiTor. They also scored again in the fifth on a couple of errors.
The Americans pulled one in the fourth on two hits and an error, hut they were blanked 1, 2, 3, in the fifth, and again in the sixth. Babe started with a double in the seventh, but the rest failed to qtialify, although Babe scored.
In the eighth Hayes missed Schultz'a liner, allowed one hit, and McDevitt's error filled tho bases, just in time for Babe to come to bat. He knocked a o-baggcr, scoring tw
