UMPIRE ROBBED ASTORiANS Three Bad Decisions and Fletch er's Costly Error Shut the Clubmen Out of De served Victory. South Bend, Wash.. Aug. 20. (Spe cial.) The Commercial Club baseball team made a standoff with South Bend today, and would have won both games had It not been for three rank decis ions In the ninth. The umpire was very anxious that the afternoon game should go to the home team, and his unfair decisions robbed the Astorians. Reed pitched an errorless game and won by a score of 8 to 4. In the afternoon Welsh did the twirling for the clubmen. He was given good support until Fletcher dropped a long fly, which let In three runs. In the ninth the clubmen should have won but for the decisions of the umpire. The afternoon score was 4 to 2. The Astorians will play tomorrow afternoon and return home at night. WILL NEVER DO IT AGAIN. Serving as Judges at Baby Show a Risky Business, Sheriff Huntington of Cowlitz coun ty. Wash., and Rutherford M. Rau, Rot'.ichild Bros.' hired man, arrived yesterday afternoon from South Bend. Both gentlemen were glad to reach As toria. With Sheriff Rooney of Pacific, county, Wash., they had consented to act as judges at the baby show held yesterday In connection with the South Bend carnival. "Of course," said Mr. Rau yesterday, explaining his flight from South Bend, "I don't know as much about babies as a hog knows about a white shirt, and I was In for giving the prize to the kid that looked best to me. I managed to Induce the two sheriffs to accept my view of the matter and the prize was duly award ed.

We tried to explain, but It wasn't any use, and they made it so hot for us thut we had to Mee. After this I will keep away from baby shows." Sheriff Hunting ton did not leave the car, fearing that some indignant mother might have fol lowed the Judges to Astoria. "Poor Rooney!" sighed Sheriff Huntington. "What a lovely time he will have when the next election comes around!" WOMAN'S FAITHFULNESS. Took the Plac of Her Dead Husband and Kept the Light Burning. The lighthouse board of the depart meat of commerce and labor has under consideration the appointment of a woman lightkeeper, in which there is one of the most pathetic stories of feminine heroism perhaps that has ever occurred In that branch of the public service. On the Mississippi coast there Is a lighthouse on a lonely spot, Cat island. Occasionally the supply boat or a pleasure yacht touches there, but days pass and no human being comes near. Some weeks ago, when Mrs. McCall, wife of the lightkeeper. Daniel McCall, called her husband to his supper, no response came. She went out and found her husband dead on the boat wharf. She endeavored to move his body, but was not strong enough, then covered his body and returned to her rooms. Night had come on, and she remembered that the light must burn. She went Into the tower, applied the flame, and soon the rays were reflect ing across the turbulent waters. Mrs. McCall at once discovered that the lamp did not mechanically revolve something was wrong, but she did not know how to remedy It; but she knew that the light must burn and the lamp must revolve, and upon her alone rest ed the great trust of protecting the lives of seamen in that region. She attemped the task of turning the lamp with her hands, and all night she stood revolving the great glass prism, all alone, with her husband lying dead near by. There she was alone for two nights, and not until the third day was her distress flag seen and relief sent. The story of this devotion to duty came under the personal observation of Major A. E. Craighill of the United States engineers. The temporary work of the station has been done by a nephew of Mrs. McCall. The salary at the Cat island station Is about $600 per annum.

A fisherman who was too thorough ly intoxlcuted to tell much about him self, was rescued from the river at an early hour yesterday morning. C. M. Celler, who had risen early to accom pany Mr. and Mrs. S. Danzlzer to the San Francisco steamer, was first made aware of the predicament of the fish erman by his cries for help. Mr. Cel ler secured an mx and with several other men chopped a holt In the side walk near the corner of Eleventh and commercial streets and hauled the fisherman from the water. The man was almost naked and evidently hnd been In the water for two hours or more. When rescued he wore only an undershirt and shoes and stock ings. Stimulants revived him, hut he wus unable to give Bn Intelligent ac count of himself. He managed to make It understood that he had been In the lower end of the city, but how he came to be In the water was a mystery to him. Evidently he had walked and swum eight or 10 blocks to the spot where he was rescued. He was pro vlded with clothing and told to go to his home In East Astoria. Had Mr. Celler failed to have heard the man's cries for assistance, he undoubtedly would have perished.
