Getting Desperate.

Some Of the office buildings In the
large cities are constructed apparently
with the idea that every possible
square foot of space must be utilized
for renting purposes. The corridors
are narrow, the passageways to the
elevator shafts hard to find and the
stairways located in obscure corners.
There may be fire escapes, but they are
equally obscure, and a stranger would
not know where to look for them.
The occupants of a room on the sew
enth floor OF a building of this kind,
devoted to the uses of a fire and life
insurance companies agent, were sur
prIsed one day by the sudden entrance
of a wild eyed man who seemed to be
laboring under strong excitement.

A series OF Revolutionary cenes
sere given IN a London theater some
months after the close Of that memo
rabie war. On the one side was the
English army In full red coated uni
form, with every button in It's exact
place. Opposite them vas the Ameri-
can army, composed, as the theater bill
stated, of ARTISANS, cobblers and tink-
ers," arrayed in their working dress,
with buttons of every size and hue.
When the curtain dropped, Captain
Bartlett Of Plymouth. Mass, the cap
tain Of a ship then la port, stood UP in
his seat In the pit and, in a voice as IL
given from a quarterback in a squall,
called, "Three cheers for the artisans,
cobblers and tinkers who were too
much for King George and his red
coats" and, with a wave Of his hat, he
gave these with Il wili. For a short
time there was silence Ia the theater,
followed by an enthusiastic John Bull
~appreciative cheer for the pluck and
assurance of the Yankee captain, who
became the lion of the city, receiving
invitations to clubs and free tickets to
theatrical and other entertainments
while he remained in port.

These games should be close and

teams are we'll matched and each
is eager for victory. This is a time
when a victory or loss may make or
mar the chances of q team. Being
but the third set of games, they may
start some teams right. One or two
consecutive losses at the beginning
often causes a team to lose out of
despair, while on the other hand a
few victories give a club courage.

Local Man at Rideau Lake, Ontario

DOUBTS SOME LOCAL RECORDS

John Dunbar, one OF the best
known sport followers in the county,
who is summering at Rideau Lake,
Portland, Ontario, has sent another
letter to this paper. 1t Is filed with
sporting comment of the most in
teresting kind. The writer ques-
tons the accuracy of some of the
records made in the Auditorium
running races last winter. The let
is as follows:
Portland, Ont, July 20, 10.
Sporting Editor Evening News:
Since writing you a short time
ago, I met Mr.. Tom Eek, who posi-
bly, knows as much Of distance run
ming as any n In America. You
will know perhaps that he trained
many cracks of the cinder path and
such bike men of the bygones, as

And for this reason l thought what
he might say would be worth listen

thought concerning the time report

Is what he said in regard to that,

that Jimmy Lee, who RAJ in the
Auditorium, was a first class five

Raines and meet anyone else at that
distance, and that he had lately

opinions. / forgot to add. Eek does
not think Jack TAFT, the Toronto
miller, Is much a wonder as some
here think. Plenty can trim him.
Lacrosse takes them here: there
Is a league and they come all the
way across the continent to play
a match in their opponents city.
For instance: New Westminster,
whose team Is in this league, live
on the Pacific coast and must play
during the season, games in Montreal
on the Atlantic side. Those west
erners are not playing loose either.
From four to 500 of their support
ers will cross the continent with
them. All are willing to gamble on
their mems chances. The most trou-
BILE is to find referees for those
games, who are mutually satisfac-
tory. You see, so much is Wagered,
that each team and its supporters
are leary of n another and want
their own selection. They have
burned by the REF" before; and,
like a child who plays with fire and
gets scorched, do not wish for q
repetition of 1t.

THIRD ROUND

A big attendance is anticipated
tomorrow. Fans have shown the
past few weeks that league attrac-
tons of this sort are the right kind.
By the good attendance at the park
the past two Sunday afternoons it
became evident that fans want at
fractions by local clubs. Especial
interest has been taken in this Sc
ries, because it is a city league, in
which the championship of Perth
Amboy Is involved.
Fans al expect the right sort of
treatment at these games. Every
effort will be made from week to
week to have the grounds in the
best possible shape. Lime will be
used to mark off the base lines and
the new base bags will be in use
continually. Men have been weed
ing a section of the grounds and the
glass has been cut in places, sc that
it will not interfere with players.

So far as the condition of general
