Great game! wasn't it." said the
 Piker as he dropped into the office
 and took a seat on the telephone
 desk last night. Thought I'd just
 mosey around and collect my bets.
 not against any of you newspaper
 guys-you're too wise to bet on a
 ball game. But heard that the Wa terbury sports were coming into
 town prepared to back that baseball
 outfit of theirs to the limit. So
 takes roll with me, the real goods, and beats 1t for the Rock to make a killing. Why say-before I got to the Hotel Garde I had fourteen bets laid for a total of sixteen plunks. Whenever a Waterbury yap turned the hot air valve I was there with the goods and 1t was money talk from the bell. In the grand stand at the Prairie there was a hot bunch of Brass City sports who had 1t doped so fine that when. pulled my roll they stepped on my hands for fear that I'd put 1t back. Easy money! It was like getting it from home without writing for it."

 Well, say, it was a great game anyway. Didn't Frank Burke sting that ball in the eleventh inning WOW. I'll bet he felt good after it--I know did. I near had heart disease when that Waterbury bunch tied the score. 1 could see my money slip ping away.
 And Umpire Rorty? Say. the only excuse he had was his blum. Phil Corcoran was cutting the cor ners time and time again and all Rorty would say was ball. ball. ball.
 Well. say. anyway. 1t was great game. But I'd like to find some of that money I won. Do you think they'd cough up if I advertised? We'll.

REGISTRATION
Of VOTERS SHOWS
MORE BR|SKNEsS

Registration OF voters In this city Is a
little more brisk than Il was year ago
at this time although rather slow.
The board of canvassers and registra-
tion report that up 10 the close OF bust
ness last night the total number OF voters
registered for this year was H0s. as
against 24sO at the same time last year.
II will be remembered that last year
was very of year for registration, and
the members OF the board OF canvassers
and registration hope 10 make a much
better showing this year. and from the
fact that the general assembly TO be
elected at the election this fall will elect a
United States senator during It's term OF
office IL is fair TO presume that consider
able more interest will be taken in the
campaign this fall than last year.
The various Democratic clubs are maxi
Ing preparations To boom registra uon dur

JOY LINES new STEAMERS
NOW IN ATLANTIC WATERS

Word reached the office of the JOY line
steamship company here this morning 10
the effect that the two steamers that have
been purchased by that company from
parties In Portland. oregon, and which
sailed from that port last month have
now rounded the southern extremity of
South America and are heading north
ward.
II was thought that the two vessels
would have to go clear down and around
the Horn but the weather when the
straits were reached was such that the
captains thought II safe TO come through
the straits and thus save some time.
The notice also stated that the vessels
were making good time and though en-
countering several storms had always
been able to weather them successfully
having been built for seagoing purposes.
The captain In charge OF the towing OF
the two vessels was we'll known In this
port having mastered one OF the vessels
OF the line when they first started to run
10 this city from New York He is Captain
Jake Wise and his ability as a, seaman
was what caused the company to send him
from New York TO pilot the vessels on
their long journey.
The vessel furnishing the motive power
for the trip is the Olympia, while the
other and small craft is being towed. on
the Olympia Is stored the amount OF coal
that was 10 carry them safely through
the trip. while the other vessel was load
ed with lumber that was 10 be sold when
the vessels reached New York. This lum-
Der Is OF immense value. being some of
the best wood that the forests OF the
extreme western coast furnishes.
The captain states that the vessels are
making such good time that they Will
II no extreme starms are met with, reach
their destination far ahead OF the sched-
ued time and in the very best OF con-
dition
II has not been decided Just what
branch OF the service the new vessels will
be employed in. but II Is thought that
they will take the longer trip from Bos-
ton to New York. Captain Wise, when
running to this port was in charge OF
the fremont.
