No Reflection Intended.

In our news items last week Civ
ing the news that Edward Eliasor,
was found mentally unbalanced, we
stated that he had voted at the
Third ward election. AS the item
was written it might be construed
to reflect on the judges of the cleo
tion in the Third ward. It was far
from our intention to cast any re-
Election on the members of the
board, all of whom were careful
and conscientious in the discharge
Of their duties. Eliason acted ra,
tional at times. He was taken Il
Fergus Falls by Sheriff Bonde last
Thursday.

Stallings Says Best Business
Move Is to Win Eastern
League Pennant.
BY SAM MURPHY.

There's no stopping the Tigers. They
got in the first punch at the Shelters
yesterday in the final series of the
seaso between the two Jersey clubs.
1t was a wallop that will affect the
Shelters when they meet the Bengals
tomorrow afternoon. And the Tigers,
by the way. are now only four games
away from the league leaders. The
two top teams clash this afternoon. 1t
will be either the Orioles or the Grays
today which will help the Tigers. Both
clubs were idle yesterday while the
striped bunch was busy with the
Shelters. Ton Hughes was in excel
LEM form, but two real hits being made
off his offerings. The score does not
begin to show the form displayed by
the Tigers.
There's any amount of confidence in
the Tiger camp. Manager Stallings is
satisfied that his team can come so
near winning the pennant that there
will be a hard battle at the finish with
the Tigers on top or defeated only
after a hard struggle with the leaders.
And George Stallings is anxious to
win the pennant. Some think that If
he finishes second it would be a better
business move, but the head of the
Bengal athletes insists that the best

worth while mentioning, runs over to
New York and joins one of the clubs.
Make them by YOU teachings join a

here that l think this relay race will

athletic club that will soon stand on II
