Record and Gets Ball.

George Manusch becomes the owner
of two nice trophies as the result Of
him being the champion Islander batter
for 1910 and Pitcher Frank Dick gets
one nice trophy for having ended the
season with the best pitching average.
George batted around the 800 mark as
we'll be shown when the official aver
ages come out in the course of week
or so and he was at least 10 or Is
points ahead of Paul Davidson, his
nearest competitor. His reward is
silver bat donated by Fred Bleuer, the
jeweler, and cleverly designed
watch fob donated by Matthew Duffy,
the watch maker The bat is Of regu-
lation size and shape and is very at
tractive. On it will be engraved this
inscription Presented by Fred Bleuer
to George Manusch, champion Islander
batter. 1910. Average 300 The fob
is a combination of a pair of bats, a
ball and a glove made of gold.
Dick Makes Record.
While it has not been heralded far
and wide. it is true nevertheless that
Frank Dick made an envfable record
in the pitchers box for the islanders
and it was discovered today that he
had won the last ter games that he
pitched which is something Of a record
in itself Frank won 16 games and lost
seven. which gives him the best aver
age of any of the five pitchers and
makes him the recipient of the silver
ball which was put up by Fred Bleuer.
The ball is of regulation size in every
respect and is made of silver. 1t is
hollow and weighs about the same as
a leather covered ball would. An in
scription similar 70 that upon the sill
yer bat will be placed upon the ball.
None Of the pitchers made records
Of which they need be ashamed.
Cavet won the most games, IS in num-
Der, but he pitched in the most and his
average was not SO high. Lai1aff won
II games and Couchman and Queisser
also won more than they lost.

ing friendship. The meeting was
well attended.
Rupert Tobin, an Iroquois brave"
has the honor of bringing in the first
scalp. He secured Vernlon Delaney,
and presented the application in
time to be number one. Before this
evening the string will no doubt be
heightened by the addition of a
number of others, as the opening of
the junior gymnasium class this af-
ternoon was expected to bring in
several new boys.
The system of rewards in this
contest is a new one. Each boy who
brings in a new member is present
ed a standard book for his private
library. The titles from which he
may choose his prize include several
of Cooper's Misunderstanding Tales, -
Robinson Crusoe," Hans Brinker, p"
Tom Browns Schooldays," BLACK
Rock" Uncle Toms Cabin" and
other excellent books for boys.
A novel plan for scoring points
for the sides has been devised. 1t
consists of bulletin board bearing
Indian pictures representing the
each one to which the scalps will be
fixed. When a new boy is brought
in, his scalp will at once be put
on the string" of his chief Fifty
new members are to be brought in
by this plan, and then the boys de-
partment will be full.
The Junior gymnasium class
starts this afternoon, for boys 10 to
IL years old, and the intermediates
boys IL to Is, will begin Tuesday
afternoon after school. The reno
waited building was thrown open to-
day and has been visited by many of
the friends and members, who have
expressed their pleasure at the
! changes and improvements which
have been made during the past
week

learned they had the body of Adam

learned they had the body of Adam
Hawk.
One of the little party was the un-
concerned Julia, widow of the late
Adam: by her side sat her newly ac-
Quired husband. Albert Cole. Upon
the long galvanized casxet in the wa
gon burned a torch from which the
incense of formaldehyde and creoline
was diffused and behind trotted
dozen or more Indian mongrel dogs.
Adam Hawk and Hoh Williams
were killed by Fred Pope. who had
under his protection an Indian maid
from Choonuse creek. The Indians
state that Mrs. Washington Howeeta,
a squaw OF i'll repute, circulated a
tale among the tribe to the effect that
Pope had criminal relations with his
ward. Hoh Williams and Adam Hawk
the Indian policeman at the Tahola
village, brought him to trial before
the tribe; upon his release stories were
again circulated and he was again ar
rested, and it is said, threatened dark
ly by the officers. Mrs. Washington
Howeeta's sympathy changed about
this time and she advised Pope of the
officers threat to send him to the
and hinted that they in
tended to kill him. In savage frenzy
he committed the crime for which
he is now being held at McNeirs Is
land to await trial when the federal
court meets in October.

FAVOR CONTINUANCE
OF WEEKLY CONCERTS
COMMERCIAL CLUB BOARD
OF MANAGERS WILL ACT
AT Meeting Today Decide to Straight
en- Out Tangle So That Five Re-
manning Orchestra Concerts May be
Given.

That the band concerts will be con-
tinued throughout the summer seems
probable from action taken by the
Commercial club managers at their
noon luncheon today. At the luncheon
today it was reported by VIII Ingram,
committeeman for the concerts, that
under instructions from the managers
he had made a verbal contract with
the orchestra for a series of 12 con-
certs. Up to this time only seven con-
certs have been given.
Owing to shortage of funds there
has been some talk of discontinuing
the concerts. However It developed
at the meeting today that much of
the money subscribed for the CONNER
cial club fund, which is for use in
paying for the concerts and meeting
other expenses, has not been collected.
Steps will be taken to have this money
collected so that the association may
meet the obligations il has incurred
At the meeting today Ben Hill and
Harry Gray were named to work with
Mr.. Ingram in Strengthening out the
tangle over the concerts. Messrs
Brock, Ingram and O'Gara were NAM
ed as a committee to look to the as
sociation subscription list with a view
to getting the association in better
financial condition.
In the absence of President w L.
Thompson the session today was pre-
sided over by Dan P. Smythe vice
president of the club.

RAILROADS ACCUSED
BY LUMBER COMPANIES

Washington.-That Louisville. KY.
be made a reconsignment point for
hardwood lumber shipped from the
southern states to points in the north
and west and the rates he adjusted
accordingly is a request contained in
the petition received by the interstate
commerce commission.
The petition is in the form of a
complaint of lumber companies doing
business in Louisville against the
Louisville and Nashville Railroad
company and other interstate carriers.
The petitioners say the railroads
have declined at Louisville to recon-
sign lumber from southern points
destined to northern, eastern and west
ern points. This refusal they say
has resulted in extortionate dscrim
inatory and unreasonable rates on
hardwood lumber shipped from the
south through Louisville.

Export Wool from Boston

d Boston.-There is no reason why
wool products should add to the high
cost of living in this country, accord
ing to statements given out today by
local wool dealers. Woor rs now so
plentiful that for the first time in
years it is being exported in large
quantities. 1t is stated on good au-
thority that about 100000 pounds Of
foreign woods held in bond here have
recently been reshipped to London to
ne sold at auction.
For the entire six months of this
year Boston has exported 3,550,O0
pounds of wool, as against the nomi-
nal amount of 10000 pounds for the
same period of last year.
These figures, however, represent
very inadequately the amount of wool
which has been taken out OF the Bos-
ton market, owing to the depression
in the American textile industry
