SPORTING BRIEFS.

Effort. Frank M. Smiths sixty-foot sloop, winner of the first race for the Kings cup. and one of the most sue cessful sloons that ever raced in this tountrY, Is for sale. IL had been ru- mored that MT Smith would put her In club cruise He will not do this. He has other yachting plans under consid- eratlon. and will not sail Effort again. While the sloop has not been advertised for sale, Nlr. Smith s none the less anxious 10 part with her, She cost $2b000 to build, and it is doubtful if she would be sold for more than sl2.- o0o. IL Is considered probable that she will be purchased by some New York Yacht club member in time for tha racing season of 1909 at least. Neola. another of the trio of sixty foot sloops which raced last year Is also on the market She has been heightened six feet. and those who have seen her say that she would prove fitting rival for Effort. With both boats for sale by owners who have become tired of rac- Ing In boats of that type, it is probable that racing men will snap them up. and that they will be seen In races next year.
 Cleveland. July 3,--Of all the teams In the American league the clevelon1 Blues appear to have the worst luck, At all times the Nnns are a fhctor In the race for honors. and yet while the team appears 10 be every bit as ,trony as any of the others. injuries seem 10 figure just in time to keep the Blues from landing the pennaTt, The latest addition to an already long crippled list and one which considerable loss to Lajoie's combination is that which oc cured in the game yeste rday against Detroit. Stovall, who has a few supe- riors at playing first base, was reaching for a wide throw, when Pitcher Wii- let's of the Tigers ran Into his extend ed arm and broke 1t. This means that Clevoland's first basemnn will be out of the game for the rest of the sea son, which ls loss to the team that cannot be compensated for unless some phenomenal minor league star can be purchased at once.

GREENOUGHS
IN SHELTER
Have Secured Majority of Stock in
Standpoint Smelter

SPOKANE, Wash, July 25.-That
the Greenoughs are back of the Pan
handle smelter and furnishing most
of the funds now being used for build
ing and to be used as an ore-purchas-
ing fund was last night announced by
T. L. Greenough over the long-dis-
lance telephone from Missoula. w.
D. Greenough, who is associated with
him, has spent several days at the
plant at Ponderay, Idaho, overseeing
the work now in progress. The lat
ter stated last night that their Office
in this city will be closed. and hence
forth Ponderay, Idaho, will be their
headquarters. John Mocine, their
confidential agent, will establish Of
fees there and spent much Of his
time on the ground.
There is double significance In this
turn in Panhandle affairs. II has
long been known. and never denied by
| the Greenoughs.. that they we're seek
/ ing an iron ore suitable for fiuxing
with the ore of the SnOwstorm mine
at Mullan. For this purpose they
made a trip last fall to Alaska. &C
companied by Dwight c. Johnson,
who met death in the Spokane club
fire July 4. but did not locate what
they we're after With their entrance
into and control Of the old Pan
handle smelter.s the long-sought fiux
for Snowstorm ore Is also obtained. as
with the plant goes large deposit Of
iron on Lake Pend d'oreille.
Speaking of the new deal yesterday.
T. L. Greenough said:
You may state definitely that we
are in control of the Panhandle
smeIter, and are ourselves backing IL
mn with money. While s. W. Gebo
and other Montana men are also fur
uishing funds. we have bought up
sufficient Panhandle and Idaho Smelt-
ing and Refining stock ourselves to
have control when the final transfer
from the Panhandle books to those
of the Idaho Smelling and Refining
company is made.
Mr.. Titus is now In charge OF the
work and is rushing the buildings for
the roasters and installing the ma
chinery. The blast furnace made at
the Union Iron works has been sent
TO the property and is ready 70 be put
in. The plant should actually be
smelling ore in 80 days.
"As TO the ore contracts, ] am not
prepared to make any statements At
