The accident to Mohawk II, who
promised to be the favorite, leaves the
Players al odds. Some bookmakers are

probably be played, for the sharps con-

This score tells the tale of the igno-
minious defeat of Finegan's Warriors
by the husky Farmers yesterday after
noon in the most important game that
has been played in the Departmental
League this season.
The way the husky Farmers took ad-
vantage OF the weakness of their op-

the start and the terrific bombardment
by the men from the Mall carried
everything before it
Five OF the Farmers crossed the line
before cease firing" was sounded in
the first attack. The second and third
attacks proved almost as disastrous as
the first Each of these attempts
forced the breaking of lines on the
Warriors part. and by a continuous
pounding at tha center a Farmer was
pushed through the close-drawn lines

Finegan Fled.
The fourth was showing signs of
like results. Flinger Ffnegan. however,
detected the weakness and brought up
a reserve in the person of his under
study. Wolfe. The new combination
proved effective. and the Warrors,
though doomed to defeat, held their
adversaries at bay until the end of the
eighth session. when the field was
cleared and another victory dangled
from the belt of the Farmers, led by
Captain Weber.
The Warriors were practically help
sess before the steady and almost per-
feet concentration of the Farmers
forces. Time and again, when the vic
tors lines were threatened they would
tighten up and by an excellent display
or eool-headed work the onslaught
would be successfully resisted
Not until the sixth engagement did
the wearers Of the blue break the bui-
warks of the Farmers. Then, by a
moEentary weakness on the left Of the
firing line, Finger Finegan was forced
around
The last two sorties by each side
proved fruitless, and darkness put an
end to the sham battle.

Cairo at Paducah.
Princeton at Vincennes.


The Indians went blood mad at
Cairo yesterday and there is gore
scattered all over Sportsman park
as the result of the massacre. The
contest could not really be termed a
baseball game because there were
times when playing seemed to cease
all together and the Mud Wallowers
took a rapid balloon ascension.
The Cairo Bulletin sporting writer
was on the ground but they came too
fast for him. Here is the way he de-
scribes the contest:
Have you ever seen a fast relay
race? If you have, just picture the
swift runners as wearing blue uni
forms instead of white running
pants and gymnasium shirts, give
two or three of them red hair and
the remainder shaved heads, and
call il a baseball game and you will
furnish yourself a fair description of

Death-Like Sleep of New York
Youth Expected to End in

the longest period of coma known
to medical history. Milk has been
forced between his lips, and he has
swallowed mechanically.
The long period of coma has at

Yonkers and elsewhere. 1t has been
suggested that electricity be tried to
awaken the boy. who has decreased
in weight from G5 to 33 pounds.
That the boy has survived the long
sleep is regarded as miraculous.
That his sleep is likely TO end in a
final one is also regarded as more
than likely. DR.. Duffy, while refus-

MAILING XMAS GIFTS.
instructions From the Postoffice People
Relative to Sending Away Presents.


With the approach of the holi-
day season the postofice officials
are beginning to prepare for the
regular rush Of Christmas gifts
through the mails. Therefore it
might be well to say that if the
matter were sent IN accordance
with the rules Of the department
half the trouble would be spared
the officials and also the senders.
In the first place, don't put off
your mailing until the 25th but
take into consideration the Christ
mas rush and consequent delay
and get your matter mailed in time
When yoW parcel is valuable have
it REGISTERED and thus insure your
self against its loss. It will cost
you s cents, and you are then sure
of its delivery.
The sender should always place
his name and address upon pack
