WAGNER'S BATTING FEAT.
Making Five Hits In Recent Gam,
Shows His Great Hitting Ability.

1t is something out Of the ordinary
for ball player to make five hits dur
ing any game and especially in that
many times ut bat. Many have played
all their lives and have not secured
FIVE hits in a game. Others are salts
fed to say, well. ms1e five hits off
So-and-So at one time and teen re-
tired" But to make five hits in one
game seems TO BE an annual affair
with the mighty Hans Wagner Of the
Pittsburg Nationals. In recent game
against Chicago Hans made five hits
and stole three bases. ct was the
third time in three seasons that Wag>
ner had accomplished this feat.
On May 10. 1907, while Pittsburg

Barney Wefers was about the first
to gain recognition from the A. A. U.
He covered the distance in New York
in 1895 in 94-5 seconds. Since that
time many other sprinters have equal
ed that time, and it was not until 1902
that Arthur Duffy clipped one-fifth of
a second off the record at Berkeley
oval, New York.
On June %, 1906, Dan Kelley of Spo-
kane ran 100 yards in competition in
93-5 seconds. The performance was
carefully investigated by the A. A. o..
with the resni; E.at Kelley was given
credit for the performance and the rec

f1ier never has been able to repeat in
the same time and since has been
beaten innumerable times and in many
instances by mediocre sprinters.
In talking Of a race between himself
and Walker. Rector said:
81 am willing to meet Walker in the
100 yards at any place in America
and at any time this summer. l am
willing to have any starter in the
world, just so he is impartial. 1

During the Olympic games in Lon

rican defeated Rector in the 100 meter
race, Walker went off the mark seven
times in advance Of the pistol.

HEINDEL'S LECTURE;
sTEREOPTICAN
Followers of New Cult Anxious That
All Hear Exposition of
Doctrines,

Max Heindel will deliver few
numbers of his Rosicrucian Christian
ity series of illustrated lectures at the
Old Baptist church on North Fourth
street, commencing Wednesday even
ing, at s p. m.
He believes that these lectures have
message for the world and in eX-
planning this message says:
There was a time, even as late as
Greece, when Religion, Art and
Science were taught unitedly in the
Mystery temples. But it was neces-
sary to the better development of each
they should separate for a time.
Religion held sole sway in the So
called dark ages" During that time
it bound both Science and Art hand
and foot. Then came the period of
the Renaissance and Art came to the
fore in all it's branches. Religion was
strong as yet, however, and Art was
only too often prostituted in the SER
vice of Religion. Last came the wave
Of modern Science, and with MASTER
full hand it has subjugated the Relig-
ion that once dominated it. Science
has also freed Art from it's bondage,
and both are going along undesirable
lines in some of their branches, on
the same principle that boy just out
of school is more ungovernable than
at any other time"
Those who have heard Mr.. Helm
del when he spoke here in May and
later in Seattle, will be glad to have
the opportunity to hear more of the
message he brings. All lectures are
free.

Another beautiful addition is being
put on the market by local people

property in this addition and will

The close proximity of the car line
