LOSE ELEVEN INNING CANE
Mexico Loses to st. Louis Browns
After Long Struggle-Fourth De-
feat Of the Season.

After having the game won several
times Sunday, the Athletics were final
ly beaten by the St LOUIS Browns in
| the eleventh inning. With the score
| seven to six in their favor at the begin
ming Of the last half of the ninth 1t
looked like another victory was to be
| added to Mexico's long string, but
after two men had been retired and
the fans were leaving the grand stand
the visitors succeeded 10 showing q
man across the plate with the run
| that tied up the score and sent the
game into the extra innings.
Still Mexico had a good chance OF
| pulling the game out OF the hole
and put men on bases in both their
turns at bat but the much needed hits
were not forth coming and the side
quickly retired. In the first half of
the eleventh, the Browns made two
runs on a single, q triple and a fly To
the out field and secured a margin to
| great for the locals to overcome, and
won the game.
1t was a most disappointing and ex-
~asperating performance but Mexico
can expect nothing else unless better
ball is played. There we're many er-
rors and bum plays during the game
that are excusable only on account OF
the muddy condition OF the grounds
While Hays was hit pretty hard, never
theless he pitched winning ball and
would have won his game with better
support and better hitting behind him.
The Mexico players showed unusual
impotency with the bat and as both
the opposing pitchers appeared to have
nothing, better hitting should have
been displayed.
However, they can't win them all
and this is the first defeat the present
team has yet experienced. The play
ers are all good and sore over the loss
of Sundays contest and are determin-
ed to make it good in future games.
The Browns have a good team and
this is the second time they have
tr trimmed Mexico this season. Mana
ger Saunders will likely date them for
a future game and give the locals a
chance to even up.

MONEY SPENT AT
COMFY ISLAND
One Resort There Received Two Mil
lion Dollars in Admission Fees
Last Season.
R. W. Neal in the World TO-DAY.

- "a hhR WIN ~ =
Five million people paid their way
into n resort there last season. II
these we're all that visited Coney Is
land, and II only half of them paid
transportation, the transportation lines
received 81, 900 In ten-cent fares. The
park MANAGEMENT reteived I million
dollars In admission fees; it received
more than II million dollars besides
for admissions to amusements inside
its gates, and this resort, though the
largest, is but one of many.
Less than a generation ago Coney's
greatest marvel was Jumbo, the wood
en- elephant, whose accidental taking
of by fire was watched through the
darkness from every house within
sight of the island, and brought train
loads of visitors merely to see bis
ashes. 1t had taken business daring
to build Jumbo, but Jumbo had paid,
and in bis yellow flames men saw the
lure OF gold. Other amusements we're
devised; the fearful held up astonished
hands at the foolish men with money;
but the men with money kept on
building ane advertising, and reaped
where they had sown.
In this changing Coney Island
roughs had no money TO spend and
they ere not welcomed. Decent men
with a few dimes to squander on a
quiet good time" refused to bring
their families to places where there
was disorder, and the roughs presently
found themselves In the hands of
peace officers who had expert knowl-
edge Of the administration of dis
enlargement to disturbers. Thus a
bigger Coney grew into a cleaner
Coney, and now, within the larger
parks and halls, disorder is so infre-
quent as to seem entirely absent. Here
is democracy again, manifesting it.

THE SCHOOL BOOK QUESTION.
W. W. Fry Answers q. P. Warden
Does Not Favor ANY Change
in Text Books.

The article that / gave to the paper
q few days ago was not a criticism on
our school board or any other board.
Ii was simply the result OF informa-
ton gathered from different sources
on the subject
We all know that the text book
situation in the State at present is a
very doubtful one and none OF us are
able TO predict what the outcome will
be. l believe all agree that a good
text book law is needed to the end
that when changes are made they may
have sufficient permanently to be Of
value. As it is . change made nov may
be undone within short time by the
enactment of Law, thus making changes
too frequent and likewise 10 expensive
for those who have children to send
TO school.
OF course book companies are anx-
ious to take advantage of the unset
tied condition In this state and are
trying 10 induce school boards to make
changes, especially In arithmetics and
readers, the very books that effect
every home that has children to send
TO school. We all know that changes
are not likely to be made without
some expense and that frequent
changes must necessarily multiply this
expense. While it may be true that
some Of the books now In use are OBJ
jectionable 1t is none the less true
that the children did well In them,
made reasonably good progress and
might continue 10 advance, at least,
until matters are 10 a more settled
condition. The question now is
whether any change at this time Is
safe. The legislature is soon to meet
and there a be no doubt but that
the text book situation will come be-
fore 1t. True, nothing may be done,
yet 1t is believed that a text book law
will be enacted. In either case,
changes can be made with more as
~surance that they will be permanent.
L want to say right here that / be-
lieye that every member Of our school
board is a man worthy Of the conf
dence OF the people. 1 have no crlti-
cism to make on the board. As to the
American Book Company. If 1t is send
ing its agents broadcast in the state
trying TO work up changes, / have the
same criticism to make on it that |
make on other companies that are
doing this. l do not seek a personal
controversy about this matter, but as
a citizen, not as a paid attorney,
l stand for no change of books at this
time and | believe the people gener-
ally who have children to send to
school on whom the costs of the new
books fall, are with me. II a change
is made now and the legislature should
enact a text book law, another change
will become necessary In a short time.
This would unquestionably work q
hardship on the people for such
changes are not made without incur
expense. This is the vital question
at issue.
The books In use at present are
good books and surely we can get
along with them until we know def
intel what the Legislature will do. /
believe 1t would meet with the approx.
al OF the patrons Of the school who are
the books buyers, is the school board
would defer the use Of any new books
until after the Legislature meets.
Respectfully,

sells-Fioto Circus Delights Great
Crowd With Clean and Clever Per.
tormAnce.

SAT- Lake Herald.
1t has been said that when you see
one circus you see all circuses, mean.
ing that they are all alike. This may
be true Of the general run OF such en-
tertainments but 1t is not true OF
the Sells Ffoto. There may be bigger
companies on the road, there may be
some with more canvas tents, more
vendors, more sellers Of popcorn and
palm leaf fans, but certainly there are
none with a greater variety OF whole
some entertainment. The Sells Floto
show is called 1.-THE circus beautiful. -
II an absolutely clean performance, il
spack-and-span wagons, alternative
employees courtesy to tine public and a
compliance with all the advance prom
ises make 'circus beautifal,n then
the Sells Floto combination is entitled
to the description.
The big tent was filed TO its capac.
ity at the performances ~yestesday after
noon and evening, and IL there was
one dissatisfied spectator he failed to
make his presence known. From be-
ginning to end the circus is worth see
ing. The menagery is completete and
the program contains about every
thing that is worth seeing In the
circus line. A special feature is made
of the trained animals, the acrobats
and the clowns, and all OF them are
excellent
Specially notable is the performan-
OF the five Potters a family OF aero
bats that surpass anything in its line
ever cen here. The double somer-
sault done by one Of the Potters in the
air while swinging from one trapeze
10 another, and various other feats
we're real novelties. In addition were
slack and tight wire performers that
did some entirely new things. The
trained animals were all good, and
the clowns, Of whom there were some
thirty odd, kept the audiences In an
uproar Of laughter with their antics.
The Floto show "won . home for It,
self" Is the saying goes, some time
ago in these parts. Its enlarged sue
cessor promises to nor than keep up
the good work.
The big show comes TO Mexico FRI
day August 10th. Tickets and seats
will be on sale show day at Buckner
and Whitney's drug store at same
price charged at the ticket wagon on
the show grounds.
