TIE FOR NATIONAL CHAMPION
Bosworth and E. Clark will Play 1t Off Today-King
Wins the First Van Wiche Medal and Whitaker the
Second-Felton Wins in Second Division and White
In the Third

Saturday was elimination day at the
rogue grounds and the contest for the
national championship resulted in
| tie between Champion Bosworth and
ex-Champfon E. Clark. They were
tied at the close of play on Friday
evening and each had three games TO
play with some of the strongest play
ers. The possibility of one losing
game was imminent at that stage of
the contest but it did not come. as
they both won. each taking a game
from ex-Champion Williams and both
shut him out. To decide the tie, it
was arranged to play a series of five
games, the one getting three to be the
winner. The first of these games was
| rolled off and Bosworth won, so that
he is virtually one game nearer the
championship than Clark The other
games Will be played today. as viii
several others in the first and second
divisions, provided the players stay.
There were chances for half dozen
of the players to win out when the
games opened Saturday morning, bat
their chances soon wilted before the
onslaught. King. who was indisposed
on Friday. was back and met Bosworth
and II. Clark going down before both
of them. Bosworth shut him out with
out an arch. For failure to bring both
balls out to the line when on his final
shot, Bosworth had to give King an
extra shot but he could hit nothing.
so Bosworth won the game for the
second time.
Bosworth also shut out ex-Cham-
pion Wahly, and the latter did the
same thing to Williams. f. Clark has
also been doing some fine work. hav-
ing won his game from Foss and then
beaten his brother. The brothers had
about the same chance at that time,
but Harold could not get in the lucky
stroke and lost. The games of E.
Clark had all been played when Bos-
worth tackled Williams It was the
most important - me of the week Had
Bosworth lost. E. Clark would have
been the champion.
FELTON, Wins in Second Division.
AS was expected FELTON, won the
second division contest. with William
son second The possibility of a tie
there was decided by FELTON, winning
his game with Williamson. who took
second honors for the game and di-
vision. Captain WahIy took a game
from Whitaker in handy style but lost
to Crosby.
White Won the Third.
In the third division there remained
the game between White and Flocken.
White had a clean score card. but
him, thus tying the two Willimantic
players for the division honors. The
tie was played off. resulting in favor
of White.
King Gets the Medal.
After a pIucky fight in which he

C. King of Chicago succeeded in win
ming the first Van Wickle medal and
has taken it with him to the middle
west. He was very familiar with the
grounds during his two weeks stay
here and the champion knew he had
no easy opponent when he accepted
the challenge of King for the medal.
King played 4 mastery game through

UNION SERVICE HELD
AT SECOND CHURCH
Rev. Horace Bumstead, DID,, Of Brook
line, Mass, the Preacher.


The fifth of the union services of the
Broadway Park and Second Congre-
gational churches was held Sunday
morning at the Second church with
Horace Bumstead, DID. of Brookline,
Mass. His text was taken from Ess-
Their W.. He reviewed the story of
the young daughter of Jewish cap
tive. risen to the rank of queen in a
foreign land She well knew her place
and the etiquette of court life and
that she risSed her own life in APP
pearing in the kings court uncalled-
But through the spite of Haman a
decree had been signed that all the
captive Jews should be put to death.
Who would dare to intercede for
them? Esther dared. Although the
favorite queen. with beauty of person
and grace of manner she needs cour-
age as she stands in the inner court
gazing towards the luxurious palace
and waiting the pleasure of the
PRECIOUS monarch. He sees her and
holds out the golden scepter for her
to touch-and she has won. Her own
life is safe and the way opened for
her to save her people. 1t is a story
of heroiSm and devotion which has
been an inspiration to millions. The
special lesson for us is symboIized in
her touching the scepter-in using the
sources of power found within our
reach and held out to us. The first
of these is seIf-respect- Esther had
confidence in herself; she knew her
own ability and opportunity: conquer
ed her doubts and misgivings. Too
many people underestimate their abil-
ity The second scepter Esther touch
ed the spirit of trust She had
confidence in others. in Mordecai, in
her maidens and countrymen, in the
fasting and prayer, the king. and even
in Hannah.
Trust begets trust. Too many
wretched failures are due to lack OF
faith and trust The third source of
power is courage. Esther well knew
who was taking a fearful risk. Nor
decai urges three reasons for daring
prudence, shame and holy ambition
but for all this it is a venture. real
and formidable. All through life
are coming to the parting of the ways
where we must chose cowardly peace
and safety or the path of courage and
danger 1t is this spirit makes he
roes and heroines.
The fourth and most potent of all
is the power of love. She did all this
to save her people She might have
forgot herself in pleading for her peo-
pie. 1t is this spirit which makes men
dare and die. This is the secret of the
cross-the supreme scepter of power.
Esther's example and spirit never
grows old. 1t appeals especially to
young men and women on the thresh-
old of life. Many young lives are
narrowed by doubts, fears and unwise
and selfish council Let Esther speak
to them urging them to use even small
ability to have her courage and self
sacrificing love. 1t appeals to com
munities-to the doubters and objec-
tors who throw cold water on reforms
and improvements when evils are to
message and open their eyes to these
scepteTs of power if they would be
strong. efficient and victorious over OBJ
stacles in their pathway.

Captain John G. Clancy, Republi-
can delegate from Clancy, Guadalupe
county, enjoys the distinction of be-
ing one of the delegates who sat in
the convention of 1889 to draft con-
stitution for New Mexico and who to-
day finds himself chosen by the peo-
pie to take part in the same important
work He is the Oldest delegate in the
convention, but bears his years well.
Captain Clancy is a native of Bat
tleboro, Vermont, where he was born
in 1886. He attended the public
schools of that town and was gradu
ated from the high school. Later he
went to Boston where he studied in
the Commercial Academy. Then he
answered the call of the waves, follow
ing the sea for five years. He was
steadily advanced and was made an
officer of the Pacific Mail whose
steamers piled between San Francis
co and Panama. He was made super
intendent of the Northern American
Steamship Company with Offices at
San Juan del Sur Nicaragua. He later
took up the work of prospecting for
mines in Mexico, in Nevada and was
among those who engaged in the min
ing stock and brokerage business in
the days of the Virginia City, bonanza

and was a close associate of the lit
terati, and mining kings made famous
in song and story, the captain residing
then in San Francisco. His remniscen-
cies of those days when millions were
made and lost in day, make him a
story teller of inexhaustible interest.
In the fall of 1878 Captain Clancy
came to New Mexico staying two
years in the territory and visited San
ia Fe. He first resided in Puerto de
Luna and then in San Miguel. He re-
turned to California for two years. He
came back to New Mexico coming
through Arizona with many fine sheep
Captain Clancy was one of the con,
stitution makers of 1889 with E. s.
Slower, F. w. Clancy, T. B. Catron, e
w. Prichard and Sylvestre Mirabal
He served one term in the Legislature
in 1892. He is today an extensive
sheep raiser with large ranges in the
valley of the AIamagordo, in Guada
lupe county.
Captain Clancy is a widower and
the following three children are liv
ing: Carl G. Clancy, Juan J. Clancy
and Carolina Clancy.
Captain Clancy is regarded as a
strong man politically by his constitu
ents and he never fails to win out
when he is put on ticket.
