Sweet Marie Beats
Major Deimar

READVILLE, Mass, July 10.-Sweet
Marie won the free for all race at the
New England breeders track for the
trotting championship Of the world to-
day, capturing the first and third heats
and losing the second to Major Delmar.
Wilkes Heart was a poor third, except
in the second heat, when he took sec
ond place, after a hard struggle for the
lead. The best time was made in the
first heat-2:06h.
In the final heat Major Delmar got
away from the wire at top speed and
led by q length at the quarter pole,
but Andrews drove Sweet Marie hard
in the backstretch and, passing Nc
Donald at the three-Quarters, won cas-
lily. Wilkes Heart had a slight advan-
tage in the second until the home
stretch was reached, when he weak
ened, allowing Major Delmar to win
handily. Sweet Marie made a bad break
soon after the field got the word and
trailed behind, but coming home she
barely missed beating Wilkes Heart
for second place.
The time for this heat was 2:08A the
first half mile being covered in 1:02A
Major Delmar and Wilkes Heart
raced like a team to the seven-e eighths
pole in the final heat, with Sweet Marie
trailing two lengths back At this
point Wilkes Heart began to weaken,
while Andrews was coming very fast
with Sweet Marie. The latter ran on
even terms with Major Delmar at the
long distance, when Delmar suddenly
made a standstill break and Sweet
Marie had only to jog to the wire, an
easy victor, in 2:O7lL

By w. J. SIattery

For the first time in the last nine
games in which they have been pitted
against the Los Angeles champions, the
Oakland ball tossers scented the sweet
aroma Of victory yesterday Afternoon.
Thanks to the life saving work Of
Deacon Bill Wright the oaks made
a stone wall front and had the champs
sidestepping in every inning. The
finish never was in doubt after the
second Oakland rally in the third inn
ing, though on several occasions the
Angels threatened to come through,
but never made good their threats.
Once they managed TO get start
that looked good enough 10 keep them
on velvet for the remainder Of the aft
HTnOon, the Commuters showed a start
ling form reversal and played real
baseball. While Wright pitched his
usual steady game, the men behind
him worked ike big leaguers. The
lead gave them confidence and they
never were headed by the Angel band.
Walter Nagle was OUT for the first
time this week and his arm seemed
sadly out OF tune. Fourteen drives
were cuIed from his assortment by
the oaks and most Of them counted too.
Nothing outside of the fast work Of his
team mates in the field saved Nagle
from a worse lacing, for Van Haltren's $
men were jerry to everything that he
had.
The very first inning brought Oakland
two runs and gave them the start which
held them for the rest of the after
noon. Van. Cook and Heitmuller filed
up the sacks with cOrking good sin
giles. Eagan forced Van at the plate
on q wallOp to Delmas. but Jimmy
Smith measured the first ball pitched
and cloutiug IL into center field brought
Heine and Cook through.
The other Oakland runs materialized
in the third inning and were the result
Of I'VE rOllicking hits Heine opened
up with a swat to left which Ellis
booted. Eagan's double to the club
house scored the big German. Then
Smith swung in to right with another
one and Truck came in. Brashear got
tangled up with the ball and while
he was engaged in getting control Of
his feet Smith landed on second. Hogan
and Altman then followed with infield
hits and the final run was boosted
over.
The Angels put their first pair in
during the fourth when Dillon inaugur-
ated with a single 10 left Then Alt
man dropped Brashear's fly. Dillon
found his way 10 third when Smith
forced Brash at second. Then Ellis
flied 70 center and the Angel leader
DtcL lA4t ALL0h Las terry WAS
passed and Nagles single put Smith
safely over the hurdles.
In the sixth Smith tore of a two
bagger for himself and a couple of
infeld outs boosted him TO the finish.
After that time Wright improved with
every inning. He was that good that
none Of the Angels reached first, eX-
cept on errors, and then the Oakland
helders were smart enough TO hold
them there.
The game abounded in life and action
and was reeled off in an hour and a
half. Though errors were frequent in
many innings they were soon forgotten
by the fans who were entertained with
three fast double plays and many start
ling stops in the infeld ana spectacu-
lar catches in the outfield. The score:

BASS DIE BY THOUSANDS
Fish Caught in EvapOrating
Pools Near Stockton
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

STOCKTON, July 1O.-LocaI sports
men are much exercised over the report
that thousands of black and striped
bass are dying in the shallow pools in
the McMullin tract, which is near the
junction Of the San Joaquin and Stan
islaus rivers. These pools, caused from
the overflow Of last year. are now be-
ginning to dry up and the fish are dy-
ing in great numbers, creating a stencil
that viii in a few more days infest the
entire southern end of the county. An
effort viii be made to have the game
wardens remove such of the fish as are
yet alive and transplant them in nearby
streams.

my first sensation was one Of as
tonishment profound amazement and
delight at seeing such a fine beast
He was a beauty, and it seemed i'm
possible to realize that he was really
wild as he lay on his side, looking at
me with his head raised as a dog does
when he hears his masters footsteps.
He was as fat as butter, sleek-cOated
and glossy.
MY pony, as the breeze was coming
from the other direction, did not
mind him, and went steadily on with
out so much as pricking up his ears.
My dog was walking on in front about
ten yards, and luckily did not notice
him. 1t was not until was actually

yards, that / realized that if the lion

hundred yards, he turned into the
bush at the side of the road.

SOUTH SIDE ASKS
A SQUARE DEAL
Residents There Demand Civic
improvements in Return
For Taxes Paid

South Wilmington means to get its
share of the street improvements the
city contemplates making this spring.
With this object in view the South
side civic Improvement Association
was organized last week with Walter
Rash. a member Of City Council, as
president The residents of the vicin-
ily say they never have received value
for the taxes paid, but from now on
viii work together for the improve
ment Of civic conditions there.
Discussing the subject to-day,
r siaent of South Wilmington said:
"sometime ago there was a move
ment started for a city beautiful, which
is very nice thing and the good
thinking people of our city who are at
the head of this movement must GER
tainlv be extended vote Of thanks
for irving to beautify our city.
'If other parts Of our city were as
nice as that over Washington street
bridge Wilmington would be n very
nice city. 1t certainly is a pleasure
for our most prominent citizens TO take
a drive along the Boulevard in their
carriage or automobile and enjoy tho
scenery of the rocky old Brandywine
and catch a breath of fresh air that
seems TO inspire a person with new
life. These frequent rides are of great
benefit to the most prominent citizens
Of our city. But. 10 YOU find these
same good people driving along the
roadwavs Of South Wilmington, beyond
Third and Market street bridges? No.
Why? Well. in the first place, if you
would drive over Market street bridge
and come up a street. the most promin-
ent thoroughfare leading from Market
street to South Wilmington, the foul
air that arises frcm these marshes and
fills the lungs is unbearable and sick
ening. and you promise yourself that
II YOU get away from that awful stencil
YOU will choose some other route for
your next pleasure trip.
Beside the stencil from these stag
mated pools. there also can be seen
piles of burning rubbish, heaps of
broken glass and loads OF decaying
fruit. that the merchants Of this city
dump there. Why is II that the Board
of Health allows these conditions TO
prevail cannot be understood by the
citizens Of South Wilmington. A few
years ago there were bitches running
through these marshes and draining
them into the creek. but there is no
drainage here now and the odor that
arises is certainly detriment to the
health Of the citizens of South Will
mington We are not criticising the
Board Of Health. We think the board
is a most efficient body. Possibly il
might be money well spent TO increase
