NAVIN'S COMPLAINTS
ARE NOT JUSTIFIED
Jennings Faced Hard Pitching Problem in Worlds
Senes-Salary Demands VIII Be Continued
Cantillon's Advice to Gray
By THOMAS S. RICE.

HuEhey Jennings is reported to be
having his troubles because he did not
win the worlds championship, and is
being. accused of falling down because
he did not have baseball brains enough
to land the big bunting. This is prob
ably mostly rot, and, anyway, it is IN
fair TO Jennings. Pittsbmg was entitled
to the long endso the purse because
it had a better ball team, despite what
some OF the ardent Washington fans
may think
The using OF Eddie Summers on two
occasions is charged against Jennings
as an evidence of a lack of managerial
insight. In very truth, Jennings did
keep Summers IN too long. apparently.
in the game that young man threw
away, but it must be remembered that
Jennings was up a stump. When sum
mers proved a lemon in the series it
dawned on Jennings that he was re-
duced to Donovan and Mullin in the
pitching department. OF these two,
Mullin had been hit harder than Adams
in the opening game. and Donovan was
considered ,=lmOst worthless in the cold
weather. he might have taken, sum
mers out sooner than he did, but the bad
start made by Summers was so quick
that be had thrown the game awa.r
almost before Hughey could catch a
breath. It's easy enough for President
Navin of the Detroit club TO see now
where Jennings handled the Tigers bad

gument for resisting Jennings demands

The local Overland agency has been

who have never owned cars The re-

of an automobile and interest in the
good roads movement go hand in hand
and II may readily be seen that the
good roads movement viii have a de-

The greatest novelty Of the season in
Waverley eIectrics is the new model IS
Waverley roadster. It is patterned after
the gasolene type Of runabOut, with
folding rumble seat. The battery Is
carried in the long front hood. The
new models ere said to be capable Of
twenty-five miles an hour.
Convenience OF operation is one OF the
things striven for by every automobile
manufacturer nowadays, and efforts in
this direction do not cease on the higher
grade cars with the proper placement Of
the levers and pedals. SINE OF the
large makers have cars IVA the road
continually the year around, trying out
various devices that may prove Of bene-
fit to the operator. The Pierce-ArroW
Motor Company. represented locally by
the Cook & Stoddard Company. is one
Of these. and as a result of its efforts
the unusually large equipment furnish
cd with cars Of this make has been in
creased by the addition of a gear-driven
air pump for tires The pump is located
on the exhaust side of the motor, and
is boIted to the main frame. A steel
Siding gear IS placed on the shaft that
runs the water pumps, and when not
in use runs idle When the pump Is
needed, however, this gear IS brought
into mesh the motor started at slow
speed, and In a few moments the tire
has been inflated. The gear is then NOV
ed out Of mesh and the pump is out OF
-operatio until il is needed again.

SOLD VALUABLE VIOLIN
FOR A mere song
JAMESTOWN JEWELER DiSCOV-
Frs THAT HE LET A $3.50 VlO.
LIN GET AWAY FROM HIM FOR
A PlTTANcE.

Jamestown, Oct 27.-The recent
visit of theatrical company brought
out the fact that A. G. Tellner, jew
eler, has had in his possession and
sold for a song, violin which later
brought $3.50.
During a previous visit Of the COM
pany, the leading man noticed in Mr..
Tellner's show window, an old violin
which took his fancy. The violin had
been taken in exchange by Mr.. Tell
ner, who bought it from Geo. Kellum,
former resident Of Jamestown.
The violin was of an unusual pat
tern in that it had twelve strings,
and the ornamentation and scroll
work showed that it was of very old
pattern and may have been $50 or
200 years old.
The comedian, who was a violinist,
tried the instrument, purchased it
and took it with him. Last week he
called at MIR. Tellner's store and in
formed him that the violin had been
sold in St. Louis a few months ago
for $3.50. The old fiddle which had
been thought ready for. the scrap
heap has been rejunevated and is one
of the best instruments in st. Louis.

DIVING FOR COINS.

The Natives Of Madeira Are Experts
ut the Business.
As we drew In and came to anchor
we saw descending upon us q feet of
small. curious boats filed with half
naked men. We suspected now that
Madeira was cannibal island and pre-
pared for the worst. 1t was not quite
as bad as that. They merely wanted
US to throw coins over into the liquid
azure which they call water in this
country. whereupon their divers would
try to intercept the said coins some
where between the top and bottom Of
the sea. We didn't believe they could
do it, but We tried and. as usual. found
that the other fellow knew his OVID
game better than we did.
If those amphibians did not always
get the coins they generally did. They
could see them perfectly In that amaz-
ing water. and they could dive like
SEALS Some Of the divers were mere
chiIdren-poor. lean creatures who
stood up in their boats and shouted
and implored and swung their arms in
wild invitation to US to fling our
money overheard. But they did not
want small money-at least not very
small money. They declined to dive for
pennies. Perhaps they could only dis
tinguish the CLEAN of the white metal.

Towner, N. D., Oct. 27.-The decis
ion as to the constitutionality of the
new druggists permit law is now be-
fore the supreme court from this
county.
Tuesday Butler Lamb, attorney for
G. e. Kermott, a Towner druggist,
filed an application with County
Judge Bagley asking for a druggist s
permit under the old law, Judge Bag
ley refused to grant the permit on
the ground that he had no authority,
as the old law had been repealed.
Attorney Lamb is now at Bismarck
and has filed a petition with the SUI
preme court asking the court to issue
writ of mandamus compelling
Judge Bagley to grant license un-
der the old law.
This will bring the controversy to
a head in a snort time, for if the SUI
preme court refuses to grant the petit
ton it will virtually mean that the
new law is held to be constitutional
The result will b. awaited with in

The report that Judge Burr had is
sued some druggist permits in his
district is mistake and from pres

First Convention in 1906.
The first convention of the present
Deep Waterways Association was
held in st. Louis in 1906.One hun
dred of the most prominent business
men of seven states were sent to
Washington and campaign of pub
licity was waged. AS result, the
largest appropriation for river inn
provement in the history of the coun-
try went through that session Of con-
gress.
The slogans have been "River reg
ulation is rate regulation" and "Riv-
er improvement will be railroad i'm
provement." Campaigns of river ed
ucation are waged increasingly.
The first convention, held in st.
Louis, had LOO delegates; Memphis,
the second, had 1890, representing
nineteen states; Chicago last year
had on it's roster 3,517 delegates,
from forty-four states. 1t is ex-
pected that New Orleans, holding the
fourth convention, will surpass this
record by 1000 delegates.
