RECORD ON ROAD
NOT BAD SO FAR
Winning Percentage on Trip Only
Four Points Less Than That
for Season.
By THOMAS S. RICE.

Things frequently turn out most
peculiarly in this vale of sorrow. sad
ness ana woe and whisky. that DR.. Wiley
says is not Risky.
One of the freaks that has bObbed
with the whirligig of time was the sus-
pension of Manager Joe Cantillon OF
the Washington ball team for making
4 complaint TO an umpire in ST. Louis.
Until Cantillon was forced TO remain IN
the grandstand and was thus cut OF
from directing the play. the theory OF
q large proportion of the fans in this
city was that the poor work Of the
team was due to Cantillon's personal
Interference with the work of his men.
They claimed he was too minute in his
instructions. and did not allow sufficient
play Of Individuality. As the team was
losing right along and with no apparent
reason, any explanation was accepted.
The Cantillon theory met with much
favor, not only with the fans. but with
some of the players.
Now. Cantillon has been suspended for
more man a week and the team has
shown no higher or lower grade of
work in that time than il did with him
on the bench. This is a pretty clear
refutation of the yarns from the West
bN DuSN space NE4A6iS WHO NouAu StOtue
the Washington fans at so much per
column. TO the effect that the absence
of their dear manager had caused the
Nationals TO lose heart and games. AS
A matter of fact, the absence of the
manager has made no difference that is
patent TO the naked eve. The club is
going badly in hitting and luck. and
the wrathful rooters in the Capital will
have 10 dig up another theme for dis
Cussion.

The volunteer firemen, at their

adopt fire alarm system for Tono-

funds to secure the equipment. from
the county commissioners, they will

F. G. Waterhouse. general mana

the volunteers some time ago that
the wires for the alarm system could
be strung on the telephone poles
without any charge. This offer was
accepted.
A committee will wait on the
county commissioners during the
coming session and endeavor to Sc
cure the county's sanction to pur-
chasing the new alarms. The COM

RENO BOOZE
MAKES Them SEE
HORRID Things

Many people who have visited
Walker lake have reported seeing a
monster sea serpent or prehistoric
monster in the inland sea, but peo-
pie have always laughed at the idea,
although many prominent mining
men claim that they have seen this
terrible animal. Now comes another
story of this sea serpent and 1t
comes from a reliable source.
Captain Cadle of the Reno polica
force has brother, Harry Cadle,
mining at Luckyboy, and today a
mining man from that place told
Captain Cadle of his brothers mar
row escape from death when 1T
tackled by this serpent.
This man, who is a Sparks rail-
road man, states that yesterday
while Harry Cadle and about twenty
other men of Luckyboy were stand
ing on the shores of Walker lake
looking out upon the water they
saw this monster more than twenty
feet long swimming in the lake with
more than three feet of his body
out of the water all the time Harry
Caddle laughed at the others When
they called it the dreaded sea SER
pent and getting into boat stated
that he would row out and capture
it.
He rowed to the point and found
that it was really a sea serpent. H.,
struck it with his oar and the se,-
pent dashed at the boat overturnine
it and throwing Cadle into the wa
ter. Cadle managed to climb into
the boat and after a desperate
struggle with the serpent escaped 10
the shore with the aid of his friends.
This is told as an absolute fact, al
though it does sound like pipe
dream.
Many others have heard of this
sea serpent before and it is believed
by scientists that 1t is a prehistoric
animal, left in this inland sea whe',
the lake which once covered Nevada
dried up. Fossils OF these big SER
pents are found in many parts of the
state and 1t is reasonable that ole
is still living in Walker lake.-Ga-
