WeIIlnqtons Trim Gardena

BY another nine-inning game of the
fast baseball which the Wellingtons
have been exhibiting of late, this nine
dragged the colOrs of the Gardena team
in the dust 5 to 3. This is the third
time these teams have clashed. Al
though the Wellingtons have met the
toughest nuts of the league and have
played the majority of the games
away from home, the formidable lineup
which is now presented looks like the
real goods. Tom Pima is right up on
his toes in the box and practically won
the contest for his team yesterday.
This pitcher also made a great showing
with the timber Pima was given good
support by his teammates and the We'll

make the WINNER hustle before the
last game of the season is called. Fig

settles by Arrival
1Rr Associated Press

MARSEILLES, Sept. 12.-The duke
of the Abruzzi was given an impress
sive reception on his arrival here today
aboard the steamer Oceana-
An immense crowd had gathered at
the wharf to greet the distinguished
explorer about whom clings the popu-
lar idea that his trip to the Himalayas
resulted from the rupture of his ro-
nance with Miss Elkins.
Members of the Marseilles Geograph-
ical society and representatives of the
municipal authorities went aboard the
steamer to present greetings to the
duke, who said he was delighted with
his trip.
81 am sorry that / was not able to
complete all that I had planned" he
added, "but the results, nevertheless.
were satisfactory 1 hold the record
for the highest ascension in the Hima-
layas. My expedition reached the top
of Bright Pie, height of 24890 feet"
Correspondents asked the duke about
the reported discovery of the pole by
DR.. Cook and Commander Peary. He
replied:
Without information
"I am without precise information
regarding this double polar expedition,
and therefore can give no opinion"
Beyond that he declined to be inter-
viewed, quickly checking the attempts
of several American correspondents to
ascertain whether he intended to go to
Paris, where Miss Elkins was known
to be.
Neither Miss Katherine Elkins nor
her mother, nor her brother, who ar
rived in Paris yesterday, would make
any statement today regarding their
plans.
The arrival of the duke of the Abruz-
ri at Marseilles has created much spec
ulation in the American colony in Paris
as to whether this does not mean re-
newal of the romance, which many
Americans here believe never was real
ly broken off.
It is reported that the duke after
going to Italy will proceed to Switzer-
land, where he will meet Miss Elkins.

the very anxiety of the members to

Run Of Scores Lower


Although the team total was higher
than ever before, the run of the scores
were lower. Miles, C. F. Nichols and
Felsenthal, all members of the team
that won from Tacoma August %,
failed to land places Sunday, whilo
Lockwood, on whom the club depended
for a high score, failed to make a
showing due to two months lack of
practice.
They all took turns sliding down the
toboggan, Crossman taking little
trip at 500 yards, Bathey making a
nice slide of it at the same range, An
drews following suit, while c. f.
Nichols and Felsenthal took turns try
ing to break down the bumper at the
bottom. Three hundred saw more or
the sport, some of them seeming to
find more fun in this than shooting a
rifle. Crossman and Hanson led OH
with SS and 81, while Edwards, Lock-
wood and Felsenthal did their little
stunt to show what they could do. Two
hundred yards caught a few more at
the act, Miles being one of them and
Edwards another.
The shoot started off at the 300
yards, with trouble with no-good and
''smart" marker. 1t was necessary to
send a club member into the pit to
check the marker, but before this
could be done both Crossman and Han
son got a bad start with threes that
were not duplicated afterward. Both
men wound up with straight strings
of bullseyes, getting six each, but
were at sea with the marking they
received for a few minutes. Umsted
got a good At, but aside from this,
Hanson's score of 46 and Crossman's S
45, the scores at 500 yards We're not up
to the average. Nichols landed a 30
here through two unaccountable misses
and the ammunition rightly came in
for the blame. Even in spite of its
being of the best make and the
"world's championship stuff, the u.
S. 1S0-grain bullet used by the
Nichols boys proved to be poorly
loaded in several cases. e. d. Nichols
got one cartridge which failed to push
the bullet to the 300-yard mark, making
a feeble report and failing to even
fatten the primer.
TTmsted got 46 at 300 yards that
proved untouchable to anyone else in
the crowd, but Al was the highest score
at 200 yards, being bored out by four
cut of the six men making the team,
while but one man of the team fell
below 40 at this stage.
A rapid-fire stage was shot for prac-
tice and the scores proved that it was
needed badly. Slipping sight slides
forgetting to raise the sight leaves be-
fore firing and other amateurish per-
formances enlivened the performance
Lieutenant Bathey got high score with
40, a good record, but the others ran
anywhere from Is to 9S, raw per
formance all through except Bathey's
score.
Twelve men took part in the shoot.
six of them being allowed on the team
according to the conditions.
A practice shoot will be held Sep
ternber 10, and the Tacoma, Seattle
and Spokane clubs taken on September
26 for the last time.

EVIDENTLY TO DEFEAT AN IN
COME TAX.


Mr.. Taft thinks II would be trifiing
with the Supreme Court for Congress
to pass an income tax Law on the sup
position that that tribunal would re-
verse itself, adding that such action
would not strengthen popular confidence
in the stability Of Judicial construction
of the constitution. But even big
president like the present incumbent
Of the office can be mistaken. A ma
jority Of the people of the United
States thought the decision Ia years
ago which was made by a court divided
five to four, both wrong and unfortu-
nate, and they want court whose per-
sonnet has been greatly changed to be
given chance to affirm or reverse the
former decision. There is never great
popular confidence in the decisions OF
a divided court and the one on the IN
come tax is no exception. Mr.. Tafts
suggestion as to constitutional amend
ment to secure an income tax is for the
purpose apparently Of delaying and pre-
venting the democratic effort to secure
an income tax. The youngest inhabi'
tant would hardly live to see the cul-
mination of the slow process Of constr
tutional amendment.

this year. the annual slaughter will
likely be postponed till the 9Th. The
American Medical Association has col
lected statistics of the slaughter on In
dependence day for five years and they
show that l,l53 persons were killed in
the United States. The wounded num-
bered 23,673. Last year there were l6S
killed and 9s7 wounded. Appeals for a
sane and sober celebration of the Dec
laration of Independence this year will
doubtless. as formerly. fall on deaf ears
and Tuesdays daily papers will contain
as usual casualties that will discount
the report of a battle of deadly war.

The fiscal court of Lyon county. with
utter disregard for the law and to show
its sympathy for criminals, appropriat-
ed the peoples money to pay the dam
ages assessed against certain night ri
ders by the Federal court in favor OF
parties who were either whipped or had
their property destroyed. 1t was a
most fragrant abuse of power and a
shameful exhibition of love Of law
lessness. It's gratifying, however, to
note that the county attorney has just
brought suit to enjoin the appropria-
ton and there is every prospect that a
most audacious scheme will be blocked.
