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.

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. Now, the kid that I selected as the
prize-winner was a fine-looking tot,

my success as a judge when several
IndiKuant mothers got after us. We
tried to explain, but It wasn't any use,
and they made it so hot for us thut we

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.

HAD A CLOSE CALL.
Intoxicated Fisherman Found Under
Commercial Street.
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.
