MILLION AND A HALF POLICY
SMASHES INSURANCE RECORDS

Spokane, Wash, July 26.-George II.

claims a record y writing a policy for
S1,500,000 on the life of George F.

amount among insuranc companies in
this city and other parts of the Pa
cific Northwest. He said THAT the poll
icy is carried by 46 companies, $780,
900, the largest amount assigned to
one concern, being underwritten in
New York.
Mr.. Nicholson was examined 10S
times, by two physicians on each oc-
casion, and II physicians were en-
ployed to make the physical tests. The
premium is a matter of little more than
100000. Mr.. Swearington said that
ecause Mr.. Nicholson practically holds
the future of the cement business il
his hands, the directors of the eight
companies, of which he is head, foun1
it advisable and necessary to insure
his life for $1,5O0,0O0. Mr.. Nicholson
is 49 years of age, and in perfect
health. :.

MfRICUS Is A WINNER
AGAIN IN THE SECOND
ShutOut Given the IhOm-
aSviIIe Boys.
By Close Score of One
to Nil the Champs
Take Game.

The faithful who journeyed to Dud-
ley Field yesterday witnessed one OF
tile IrctCIest ana fastest games Of
the season. The visitors showed a
surprising reversal of form and held
the Champs to one lone tally. This,
however was sufficient to win out for
the locals, as the Thomasville boys
found it impossible to push a man
across the plate.
The nearest the visitors came to
scoring was in tie first inning when
with two out Red" Donaldson doubled
to eft and Lee singled over short. Our
Dona-son made a pretty peg and with
Tommy Hooks crackerjack pickup
cut off uhe Red man.
In the fifth Cooper hit one through
MangUm tiat was too hot to handle
and went to second on Bosche,s wild
throw. Robinson bunted and Mangum
let the ball through, Robinson safe on
first, and Cooper on third. Robinson
stU,e second. Hooks hit to second,
out at first, Cooper scoring.
Coombs robbed Vibert of hit in
the first by a running one-hand stab
over second. Cooper spoiled Wood 5
Single by a pretty running stop. Rig
gins made a pretty catch of Wilson, 5
drive in THE seventh. Bosche had a
busy day at second with ten chances,
accepting all but one.
A regrettable feature was the injury
to Tommy Hooks, his hand being split
by foul tip in the seventh inning. l.
Will be impossible for this popular
little player to get back in the game
for some time, and it is feared he is
out for the rest of the season.
For the enlightenment of certain
near-scorers, the following scoring
rule, one that was laid down by Jake
Morse, of the Boston Herald, and ac-
cepted by scorers in every league, is
printed:
Give a base hit on a ball too diff
cult to handle properly. In matters o.
doubt favor the batsman. The ques-
ton whether the fielder had fair
chance to dispose of his man should
decide the question Cf an error
Ansley and Roinson will oppose each
other in a southpaw's battle today.
Both promise to pitch the same
crackerjack brand of bail that Man
gum and Wofe put up yesterday.

THIS SPOKANE PREACHER
Is A LIVE WIRE-SURE

Spokane. Wash, July 2G.-"I have
drawn people to Lear my sermons by
advertising. l have attracted them
with moving pictures, hot suppers,
pink teas and flowers and flags If
have had any degree of success in
Spokane, it is because of the liberal
use of printers ink, said Rev. Jam s
w. Kramer, pastor of the First Bap-
tist church., who came to Spokane two
yeasr ago from South Carolina.
There is something worse than SEN
sationalism. 1t is the failure Of the
church to produce life. The church
that does ont advertise is ehind the
imes and is nursing empty paws, and
he who rails against the minister for
advertising is suffering for a congrega-
tion. 1t am not an advocate Of rag
time methods or vulgar preaching, but
I do plead for the church which is q
humming plant of machinery, with
lige Goals in the fire-box, smoke cur
