Residents of Mantle who chance
to be out after dark have recently
noticed a new face in police uni
form doing duty in that section of
the city. Closer inspection showed
the man in blue to be stalwart
young fellow, with an honest, open
countenance and manly tread and
bearing. This prompted some in
vestigation, with the result that the
following facts have been brought
to the surface:
The officer is w. G.. Parger, aged
q, weight nearly 200 pounds, with
out an ounce of surplus flesh on his
body. He is a native of Spokane
possibly the only one on the force
and his father, H. c. Parker, was a
policeman before him, in the days
Of Joe Warren and Harbord as
chiefs of police.
Young Parker has gone into the
police force with high ideals. How
long he will be able to maintain
them under present police condi-
lions in Spokane depends on his
ability to hold out against the influ-
ences that have fallen across the
paths of the other young officers
before him.
Parker has no pull with Sullivan
or anyone else and like all of the
younger policemen, it Is up to him

The Augean job which one Her cules undertook-not meaning any, thing rough about the White Wings in comparison, was loll in ham mock Gut out the rusty gate-get new stuf) to what confronted the Mechanics at Newfield yesterday. At the end of the seventh inning the score was 21 in favor of the White Wings. The Mechanics looked to have scored their total for Bugs" Reisigl was going like house afire. Tn the next inning, the Mechanics made five runs and the game was theirs. 1t was great uphill finish which took the fanatics by storm, an exciting, riproaring battle won by a savage onslaught which made Reisigl dizzy trying in vain to stop 1t.
 the Mechanics are demon re-cupera- tors. The boys appeared to have re- ceived their knockout, for they were hanging on the ropes from the start. Then something snapped. That Blanket mortgage which the Wings had on the game became liquidated. In the left wing of the grand stand igl saw the change and also noted what it meant to him. They do talk about psychological moments when the team. in the rear seems to have taken a new lease of life,' while the club on the defense goes to pieces.
 There was some of that stuff yes- terday. Starting with the eighth the Mechanics run getting mechanism hummed frictionlessly sweet baseball music and the hard skipping of the old horsehide waited through the Sound breezes. Five Mechanics made the bases and five made their way around to the starting dish.

He was accorded armor plate support, ex- cept in that one bad session. when Cy Miller came through with the only Mechanic error of the game. The station and paved the way for the next run. Had there been perfect play, the enemy would have been shut out. The warp and wool of Clunn's service consisted of speed, change of pace deftly concealed as to motion and a sharp breaking curve which waved skeins about the oppos- ing batters. Thus equipped what could the Wings do with his slant.
 Here's how the boys did it in the eighth. Clunn surprised the talent by jolting a stinging single to right field. Reisigle could not get ball across to Hey, the Skipper" encamping at Bunyans bungalow. The crowd was now in an uproar and Eddie Bridges who has been under the tute1ege of big leaguers uncovered passed ball, Clunn going up to third and Eley/ to second, At this stage of the play, it was next to impossible to hear your self think. Bobby Stowe in base ball -ame has little love for those with a N. H. on their sleeves.

FORESTER GRAVES SOUNDS
 WARNING ABOUT FIRES

Washington, Aug. 16.-Protection from forest fires is the first measure necessary for the successful practice of forestry, says Harry s. Graves, United States forester, in a bulletin just issued by the bureau of which he is chief.
 "As long as there is any consider able risk from >flre,'' he added, for est owners have little incentive to make provision for natural protection, to plant trees, to make improvement cuttings or to do other work look ing to continued forest production
 After speaking of what has been done in this direction he asserts that the fact remains, however, that most of the forests of the country. particu- larly those privately owned, are in adequately protected from fire. It is proba ble that in fully 75 per cent, of the private forests there is no at- tempt whatever at systematic protec- tion."

 Billy Delaney, the maker of Champ ions.' is just as optimistic about Kauf- man. The big fellow is on edge and will surprise customers who saw his poor fight with Ross a year ago. The experience he had in Johnson's camp has developed him wonderfully. Kauf- man is but "A years old and never dis sipates.

Crooks was held at first on fast fielding by ping at Kid Sherwood who made a great stop gathering in Cy at first, but Crooks went to second on the sacrifice play. While Reisigl was on the wind Crooks dusted it for third. Eddie Bridges threw wild to Sherwood to annihilate the pilferer, but the heave bounded into the outfeld. Crooks coming across with the fifth of the influx of tallies. That ended the tallying.
 The first score to be marked down happened in the second when Cy Mill CT was pushed around. Cy made the first station on a promenade having to go home when Jimmy Hall push ed two baser into left field. It was a gigantic lift and would have been for larger quantity but for an auto which had just entered the grounds, and which it struck bound ing back into the field. Jimmy fol- lowed his hit with steal of third, but was stranded.
 New Haven shot into the lead in. the fifth inning. Eddie Bridges led off with a neat slap in Eley's direc- tion. Sullivan's attempted sacrifice fell on the fly into Clunn's digits. Jackson by fast fielding held Bridges on second on sherwood's single to left. Jimmp Hall just missed spearing Bupyan's tap over second, knocking it down so that Bridges was held at third. Reisigl hit On the bound to Miller, the latter backing up on the teaser. The pill struck his init and then glanced to the side, Bridges scoring. It should have been an easy play and oueht to have resulted in a double killing. It was costly as Jer- ry Cornell came to life with single to center scoring Sherwood.

Confident, yet as usual extremely modest in his claims as to the outcome of the important ring battle scheduled for the Fairmont A. C.. New York. to- night, Bill Lang put, on the finishing touch to his arduous and conscientious routine of training at Captain John Bonds yesterday.
 At\10 o'clock today Lang and Aus tralian Charley Griffin. with Harry Nathan, Langs handler. will go by automobile to New York City.
 Lang will meet Al Kaufman tonight in a 10 round bout.
 Kaufman holds over Lang about 15 pounds. He is an American while Lang a premier in the Antipodes has never fought here. Billy Delaney and Jack Johnson have had much to do with getting Kaufman into shape. while the best of ring generals have brought Lang through a long and mer- itorious ring career though he is only 27 years old.

Brussels, Aug. Aug. Reinsurance men of Brussels are today demanding that an extra session of parliament be called to make provision against panic following the financial reverses resulting from Sundays fire at the Brussels Universal International Elk position. The exposition was re- opened today under the most dis couraging circumstances. Only a few visitors were present and 1t is now certain that the enormous crowds that were expected during the latter part, of August and September will not materialize.
 This not only means that the exposi- tion will be conducted at tremendous loss but that the merchants and townspeople will get practically no return on the heavy investment they have made. Already thousands of exposition employees have been let out and local labor conditions are in danger of being upset by this army of unemployed. Parliament will prob-
