verb that women approach and putt

that when it comes to the real approach

yards, women as yet know nothing.
This means weakness on the long irons
and "every woman who wishes to round

secondly on her cleek and mid-iron."

Massillon, Aug. 23.-Two interurban
cars came together with considerable
force on Yengling's ..ill, east of the city,
Wednesday evening during the crush
of the Business mems picnic excursion
and for a time there was considerable
confusion. A car was standing on the
main track with the trolley off and the
lights out, the motorman being in the
act of placing the trolley on the wire.
Another car came up the track and the
motorman, believing the first car, which
he could but dimly see, was on the side
track he kept the full current on and
dashed into the car ahead. 1t was
quite bump and women passengers
screamed and jumped from the car.
The men also jumped. There were
several bruised bones in the crowd but
the most serious accident was the tent
porary loss of Joe Oppenheimer's hat.
Mr.. Oppenheimer's plea for his lost "lid'
was the pathetic incident of the colli-
sion.
The street car men quickly cleared
| the track and in short time the pas
| sengers were safely landed in the city.
1t was the only accident of a day MARX
| ed by excellent service on the inter-
| urban and it fortunately did not amount
! to much.
| BALL PLAYERS ANGRY.
The Massillon base ball team came
| home in an unenviable frame of mind
from the game with Canton Wednesday.
The players were dissatisfied and 80 per
cent of the Massillon spectators were
mad up to the fighting pitch. Home
runs via the pitchers box are not en-
joyed by the Massillon enthusiasts
especially when the other fellow is max
ing the run.
| What will become of the Massillon
team Is conjectural. A player said
this morning that the boys would hang
together as long as possible but the
prospects were not fiattering. He said
that no encouragement was received
from the Canton management for
games between the two teams and with
out a few Sunday games with the
county seaters the chances were against
the club lasting very long. He said
the Massillon team would have left the
field yesterday when Drumm converted
| the diamond into a kite shaped track
but the manager had not secured Mas
sillon's share of the gate receipts.
| EMMA JAMES DEAD.
Emma James, aged 2S years and

ty all her life. She was well known
