Saturday afternoon by a score OF 13
to 4. The Broadways, although having
been twice defeated by the Bostons dur

theirs to be the superior nine and offered

AVALON, Aug. pa. G. Murphy,
the holder of the worlds record for
black sea bass angling, today made
another remarkable tuna record by
bringing a 118-pound bluefin tuna to

given for this phenomenal angling was
that at the first leap of the monster
fish the line became entangled about
the fish and materially aided the angler

One Bad Inning

AS usual the Elliott boy had one bad
inning, which happened to be the sew
enth, in which three hits one of them
a double, brought in two runs, advanc-
ing the Oaks to within one run of
tying the score. But he settled down
hard again, and thereafter the Com
muters never had an opportunity to do
effective work.
The Angels started off well in the
afternoon, getting one run in the first
Daley walked and was sacrificed to sec
ond, and Wheeler scored him with a
hard triple to right In the third,
combination of clever base work by
the Angels and fumbles by the Oaks
brought in three runs, which placed the
Dillonites well in the lead and assured
them a victory.
Daley again started matters by be-
ing passed to first BOice was in to
win, but was over eager and Daley
secured a stolen base off him a moment
later. This so bothered the tall Com
muter that he walked Wheeler. Beall
went out by way of McKune and
Cameron, and the out allowed Daley
to shoot over the plate for the second
run of the game. Howard singled hot
to Christian and when the ball
bounced over the second baseman's
knee, Ross and Wheeler followed the
center fielder over the pan. This was
all for the Champs but it was one too
many for Reidy.

Wind Holds Steadily

After leaving Point Vincente whis-
Ting buoy the yachts put across the
channel to Bird Rock and then made
the return to the starting line at the
end of the breakwater. The wind
which blew up early this morning held
good all day and a most delightful race
was had. The regatta committee had
announced that the time limit would
be enforced. but no need was presAhted
today, as the Mischief II crossed the
finishing line at 5:40:10, the others fin
ishing within a half hour afterward
and having a good hour of leeway be-
fore the time limit was up. Capt
Warren Wood brought his Mischief I
across second at 5:43:43, Capt. K. r.

6:0S:O5, and Capt. Fritz Whitney
bringing the Wasp in last at 6:12:36.

The first leg of the course was a beat

series of tacks was necessary to
carry the four boats up the coast. In
the kickoff Venus and Mischief II

but a few feet apart on the starboard
tack for a full half mile. Finally the
little Venus drew away from her larger
opponent off the Point Firmin whis-
tier Mischief l was then in the lead.
followed by Wasp, Venus and Mischief
II in a bunch. When last seen from
Point Firmin promontory the Wasp
and Venus were having their usual

finally took them down, as they failed

Wasp, sailed by Capt. Fritz Whitney
and a lively crew made up OF the tars
the winner today of the yacht race to
Bird Rock for the Nordlinger cup.
With a fair breeze all the way across
the channel to the isthmus, good time
was made, all four of the contesting
racers arriving home we'll within the
time limit. which was 7:06 o'clock.
Chairman Stewart Laughlin of the
regatta committee gives the race to
the Wasp on time allowance the Venus
allowing her six minutes time, which
gives the Wasp the race by l minute
20 seconds corrected time.
Considerable time was allowed the
Wasp by the larger boats, although
the exact figures were not at hand this
evening when the race Nas completed.
Last year the cup was won by the
Venus, which today put up a hot race,
completing the course boat for boat
ahead of her rival by four minutes and
half. but giving to the trim little
Wasp the valued cup by a small
margin.
The start at 10 O'clock this morn
ing was one of the prettiest ever made
from the end of the government break
water. The preparatory gun was fred
at 9:55. and at 10 Mischief l led across
the line between the end of the break
water and a flag. Venus followed and
Wasp was blut a second behind. Mis-
chief II was a minute late in crossing,
having been delayed in getting out OF
the inner ,harbor. A number of the
yacht members and women witnessed
the start from the judges boat. which
was in charge of Cleve Harrison of the
regatta committee.

Throws Herself Under Train.

Miss Mamie Champlain, of Man.
chester, was instantly killed by an
Illinois Central freight train Satur-
day morning, when she threw her
self in front of the engine a mile and
half west of the depot. An arm
and leg were severed from the
body and she was otherwise man
gled.
The girls awful deed was COM
mitted before the eyes of her moth
nr, who was some distance away and
unable to prevent the self-destruc-
ton. The young woman was gradu-
ated from the Manchester high
school last June and was attending
the state normal school at Cedar
Falls, where she had spent the last
two Summers. She was a hard stu
dent and overstudy brought on All
illness which compelled her to return
home for recuperation a couple of
weeks ago.
The past few days, believing she
had recovered, she wished to return
to school, but her mother refused her
permission on account of her health.
Saturday morning she left the house,
evidently with the intention of walk
ing to Cedar Falls. Her mother
discovered her absence soon after
ward, and started to look for her.
She learned the girl had gone toward
the depot and when the mother ar
rived there she discovered her
daughter going west on the tracks.
The mother hurried after the girl
and about two miles from town the
freight train came toward them at
a high rate Of speed. The girl saw
her mother following and trying 20
catch up with her. When the train
was only a few feet from the girl
her mother was Mortified to see her
daughter throw herself between the
rails, and in a twinkling Tie girls
life was snuffed out under the pilot
and wheels of the engine.

GUESSING CONTESTS.

A method of doing business to

When you take a certificate, or

is fixed on the piano so that they can
easily allow it.
They ask you $3.50 for pianos that
are being sold in some parts of the
country for less than half that price.
That certificate or purchase check
is not worth one cent to you. Not
long ago a party came into our store
and offered us an SIS certificate on
a guessing contest for % cents. He
said he could not use it, but thought
perhaps we could do so. Another
party from Waukon, Ia, some time
ago wrote in asking us how much we
would give her for certificate that
she had received from a Milwaukee
house on guessing contest. Saying
that she had a piano and could not
use it, but thought we could as we

wrote her and told her it was not
worth one cent to anyone, and that
it was a good thing for her that
she already had piano.
Now, what do you think of 1t?
Wnen you are ready to buy a piano
come into our House and we will
sell you one at the right price. You
never knew this House to run a
guessing contest, special sale of rent
ed pianos (that have been carted all
over the country year or two, and
not rented at alb nor fake closing

business in business way, and we
intend to do so as long as we are
with you. We have built up one of
the largest Music Houses in the
west, and we didn't do it by any
fake schemes of any kind. Bring in
your certificates or purchase checks,
and we will show you where they are
not worth anything to you, and illus
trate it to you by facts. We are
not selling pianos for $3.50 that cost

don't handle that grade of pianos.
