The ' battle was fought ' bard throughout, with the final- honors doubtful until near the end, and the great stake caused every point to be played for with watchfulness of which only such masters of the game as the minds behind the great baseball ma chines which took the field today are capable. r " The national commission announced that there were 38,261 jjeraons who paid admission to the grounds and that the gross receipts were (77,359. From an artistie standpoint the game waa ordinary. There were scarcely any difficult ehancea or op portunities given for difficult plays. It waa pitcher's battle throughout, with the Indian Bender having the better of it in the early stsges of the game. Bender fanned 11 men, while Matthewson fanned five. ; Mathew son's service waa effective and he was steadier on the mound with, men on bases. ' '' Pick Up Prom the Pray. ; It was a beautiful battle between two of the craftiest pitchers in' base ball, Mathewson and Bendery and, when the game was over, the differ ence between the two waa only a shade. Mathewson, the pale face bad won, bnt the extra run waa due to an error. Bender, the Indian, had lost, bull he still smiled as be picked np bis glove and walked to the house. : He smiled even though be had lost that which he desired most to win his game in the biggest series of the big gest year in baseball. Perhaps that smile waa professional, part of his stock In trade. Nevertheless the In dian smiled, beaten in one of the best games that he ever played. .' Players on each team ran specula tive eyes over the house and noted with pleasure that every seat was oc cupied. rv ;v'-;.5'v "Gee," said Devlin to ' Larry" Doyle, "131 bet a greyhound couldn't jump over the roll they took in for this game." : - " A nA I'm frnirtiv fn An all .

DRAINAGE ON COLD WATER. Report of Engineer Who. Made Pre liminary Survey. Hearing to Be Held November Engineer Wetmore has completed the preliminary survey of the part of Cold Water creek that comprises the Cold Water drainage district, and it has been filed with the elerk of court Clerk of the Court - Widenhouse has appointed November 7th as the date of the bearing of all parties in terested in the work, r According to the law under which the drainage dis trict is decided npon a preliminary survey for the purpose of ascertain ing the feasibility of draining the stream so as to decide whether it will be a safe and profitable 'venture or not, most be made.. A bond ia re quired by the petitioners to guaran tee the cost of this survey. The re port of th engineer is filed with the clerk of the court and he sets a day lor bearing of both the petitioners and . those who are opposed to the proposition. ; - - " The Cold Water district, which com prises the section along Cold Water ereeS-froHF 13iarlCT lsenbCr'T'aet to the Hilleman mill was decided npon some time ago. A bond to guaran tee the expenses of the preliminary! survey was easily raised and Engineer Wetmore engaged to do the work. Practically every .land owner on the creek signed the ; petition although' there were a few who did not look with favor upon the proposition, No vember 7th has been appointed a day for the purpose of hearing the argu ments and deciding upon thecerits of the proposed work. It ia saidlhat those who opposed the proposition at first have seen the good results of this work in other sections and will not oppose the project very strenuously. If the clerk decided that it ia best not to order the continuance of the work the petitioners can. under the law, bring the matter up again in six months. If it is decided to continue the work Mr. Wetmore will make a complete survey and determine the number of acres of each man a land that will- be drained, the length of time to do the work, the width and depth of the channel should be made and the cost to each individual and all other details. ' v-A number of the broad and fertile creek bottoms along the course of this stream are - one-half to three-eights of a mile in width. The lay of the land is Such that with proper drain age every agent for its enrichment that would be put on it would be a Dermanent improvement. Even with the Blight cultivations these broad bottoms, that have for an age acted as a pan into' which has flowed the cream from the uplands, would pro duce abundant harvest,, the value of Lesders of Men ave Their Money !

And for this' aaon alone it should weiv. the sup- port of ery cUxen of the eonnty who ha. the best interest of his eom- munity at heart.

" : llu Hops for the purpose of adjusting machinery, -but it had already eut enough dirt from the bottoms to prove at one glance that its work waa ef fective and permanent. This creek ia about tbo same size of Cold Water. The channel is being eut from seven to eight feet deep and it is claimed that at the rate the machine is now running it will out mile or more each month. . Four men are employed in operating it bat on account of the fact that it has been in operation only a few days the exact cost of tbo ex pense per mile eould not be ascertain ed. ,. This, however, will of course de pend upon the depth, width and kind of bottom of the stream. The creek, in Iredell contains many mora rocks than Cold Water or any other creek in Cabarrus, although the bottom is mostly of sand and ia very similar to our creeks. It is saye to aay, how ever, that it will cost the Iredell peo ple much-tnora to drain their crooks than it will any in Cabarrus on ac count of the natural conditions bore being much more' favorable The topography of the yewum along Third creek ia much moro billy an! the bot toms are, smaller in area,; They are large enough however, to well repay the men behind the movement, there and they - are enthusiastic over the work. But if it is a paying proposi tion to drain Third creek in Iredell, and it has been conclusively that it is, it would certainly doubly repay the land owners to drain Cold Water, Coddle and Buffalo creeks where the bottoms are broader and the natural conditions of the -stream are more favorable, making - tlie work tnnch w auu vni-wvuf v"WK sU a larger area or tana.
