1.-THE WIN she
BLOW" AT TONKA
Stiff Breezes Permit a Successful
Il Yachting Afternoon and
Fast Time.

Twenty yachts started out in stiff
blow at the races Of the Minnetonka Boat
club Saturday afternoon. Wihuja, the
Loudon boat, came in a winner in class
A, altho she had lost considerable tiIne
by having her jib carried away in the
gale. Dixie, sailed by Earl Mendel, was
winnersin class B. Tiger, owned by
Archie Jefferson and sailed by Frederick
Fayram, capsized on the first leg and was
pulled out of the race, as she lost too
much time to make good in the race.
Harry Newgord sailed Victoria across the
winning line, and Waterwitch outsailed
her rivals and was victorious in the open
class.
The day was perfect for sailing, and
the big lake, stirred up by a fairly high
sea- with a continued blow from the
northwest, was a sight of joy to the
shippers.
The next event scheduled for the club
Is the annual cruise next Saturday from
the Minnetonka Boat club to the Chapman
house. The sailboats will make a start
at 1880 and the launches will leave at
IL. The event is open to all, and hand
some pennants will be given to the win

SADNESS REIGNS
AMONG MUD.HENS
WATKINS HIRED MEN SHOW NO
MERCY AT TOLEDO.
Sreminger and Coulter Lead Millers
to Batting Orgie in Which Harry
German Is Sacrificed and the Home

Fattened.

Special to The Journal.
A Toledo, Ohio, Aug. S.-Biff! Bang!
Crack! Minneapolis did it. Toledo took
IL. AS result Of it the mlllers' batting
averages were materially fattened, ana
the mud hens added another strand to the
rope that is pulling them toward the
American associat ton BOBBY prize Tor lso4.
1t was a sad spectacle, indeed, FOR the
local fans Harry German, alleged pitch
er, went into the honorary position for
4he Toledo team, He started in prom1s-
lingly, and in the second inning startled
the faithful by striking out three OF Inc
enemys batsmen. But right there ne
loyer-reached himself, From that time on
he was down and out, and the millers made
light Of his heavy curves In manner
delightful to the Minneapolis contingent,
but nerve-racking to the twirler, his de-
dected supporters in the field and his
manager on the sidelines. The n1llers
opened something in the third scoring
three runs, and from that time unto the
end not an inning passed without count
for the winners, making fine, wel-oone
total Of fourteen scores.
'.watty's' latest, Ed Greminger. the
Third baseman. who Is appropriately spok-
en- of as the "Battleship," was always In
the thick of the fray Harry was meat
Cor Ed, and the battered twirler could be
seen to heave long sigh every time Gre
aniriger, with bat in hand, hove IN sight.
And we'll he might, for what the heavy
man did was pity. once ne lappeuS ouI
q pretty single; then, growing stronger,
he twice raped the sphere for double
sack; later he clouted it up and away over
ahe fence for a home run, and again he
slammed it to the fence, but 1t fell into
and thru Frisbie's naltts.
Ed wasn't the only one however-our
old reliable "Cy'' Coulter was there with
the goods was credited with three
doubles and single, and there were other
millers.
The home team was listless and helped
the millers hitting bee out with errors
and careless play. They were outola!ssed
in every turn Of the road.

ARIZONA'S FATAL ERROR.
Forgot to Take His Whiskey Flask to
 Church.

A dispatch to the Chicago Inter Ocean from Knoxville, Tenn, under date of April 24, describes the sudden death of man named Arizona, all be- cause he forgot to take along his whis- key flask when he went to church. The dispatch says:
 Carry a pocket flask when you go to church if you happen to be near Beans station, Tenn. Failure to follow this advice is likely to get you in trouble, as it did Jim Coins and his brother, Arizona Coins, two negroes, today.
 The Coins brothers went to church without whiskey bottles in their pock- cts. As a result Arizona is now dead and his brother is dying
 George Whitesides, another negro, was wiser than Jim and Arizona. He knew enough to carry bottle. Because he carried the flask Whitesides is alive. a deadly bullet having been turned away by it. He is now in hiding in the woods near Beans station, attempting to escape a mob which is seeking re- venge for the killing of the Coins brothers, who were shot by him.
 The trouble was all the result of a dispute as to whether Arizona Coins or George Whtesides should share a hymn book with a dusky belle who at tended the same church they did They a attempted to settle the dispute with revolvers, and for a time bullets spun above the heads of the worshippers at the Beans station church.
 Arizona Coins. having no pocket flask, was shot through the breast and instantly killed. Jim Coins was nor tally wounded. Whitesides received one bullet in the arm. Another hit a whiskey bottle he carried in his pocket. While a bible would have served as well. the flask turned aside the bullet.
 Whitesides was badly scared but not much hurt, and. made for the woods. while the other members of the Beans station congregation engaged in a riot to lend little excitement to a tame affair.
