The secretary of State has bean en-
gagged during the past month in Hooking
up the history of automobiles originally
registered with a view to ascertaining
whether they are still held by the par
ties who originally registered them or
whether they have passed into other
hands This investigation is bringing
fruits to the department as many have
already RENTED by reason of it for the
regfs{&tion of automobiles, which they
have held for one or two years, evidently
innoeentiy. not having understood the re-
quirements of the law. which provides
that there must be a new registration OF
machine whenever the ownership
changes. and that a man must register a
machine when he comes into possession
of H. whether the machine is one that
he has bought new or purchased OF some
one else.

Worcester, Mass, July 9.-The
creating of records on the famous
Dead Horse Hill, near Worcester, is
confidently anticipated, when, on Aug

ton with Makers and dealers, looking
toward the securing OF. entries, and is

He passed Pennington and Clark in
succession and filed the bases by hit

nington slid across the plate with the
winning run. Gaspar was given an
iovation. 1t was richly deserved
compliment. He had worked through
eleven full innings without the SEM

him.
Egan's chaces were now almost
hopeless, but he did not give up. Nc
MILAN had worked on the second day
previous, but he sent him back in an
effort to take the one remaining game.
The players were desperate With a
great hitting aggregation they had
twice been shut out without run and
secured but one hit in two games.
/ Duke" Hollenbeck got his chance
in the third game. He at that time
was scarcely more than recruit, and
was working his second year in organ

promise of becoming one of the best
southpaws in the business. He had
been signed year before by Boyle
for trial on the recommendation of
Mike Dwyer of Oelwein, former
catcher with Comiskey when the

A winning streak started
on its upward climb after Burlington.
Progress was slow. however, as
Egan's men were going at a rapid
pace. Toward the first of September
the margin which separated the two
leaders was cut down rapidly and it
soon became apparent that the fight
for the pennant would be hot one.

narrowed until the two contenders
stood on nearly equal footing. The
