THE THREE CARD
MAILING SCHEME

The following from a couple of
post cards received by Samuel
Kreidel last week is used in order
to let him give an answer, as the
writer failed to sign his or her
name:
Ellensburg, 6-S-11. Dear Sir:
| see by the Record you introduced
a measure to allow the saloons to
remain open until 3 a. m. July 5th
had you not better get on the other
side and vote against the saloon
licenses for your own interest
among the better element.
For A CLEAN Town"
Dear Sir: I should think your
record on the saloon vote in the
council would be bad enough with
out introducing the measure you
are quoted as introducing in the
Record as a citizen voter | protest
and request you to change front
on this question as the moral peo-
pie will make a change if you fell

Mr.. Kreidel authorizes and
wishes us to say that he is not re-
sponsible for the writings and mis-
representations of the irresponsible
paper above referred to which seems
to take delight in perverting and
distorting the facts and continually
tries to place him and others in a
false light.

HOW SPOKANE IS
ABOUT TO DO It

Commissioner Coats announces
that he favOrs the issuance of bonds
for special improvements in denom-
nations of 500.
The idea should be called an act
for the encouragement of thrift and
the promotion of the prosperity of
Spokane.
The experience of countries,
municipalities and corporations
that have issued bonds of small de-
nomination has been that the little
investors take them readily and
that many of such investors are
encouraged and enabled to advance
to investing in bonds of large de-
nomination.
The taxing power and the high
credit of this city make its bonds
an ideally safe investment for those
who prefer solid security to tempt
ingly large rates of interest.
The small amount of the bond
and the six per cent interest should
attract large numbers of purchas-
ers. The more owners of the obi
cations of the city the more gen
eral interest on the part of its Citi-
zens in the financial conditions of
| Spokane and the exercise or good
business in managing its affairs
A thousand owners of 500 bonds
of this city will feel far more con-
Germ for good government than will
owners of $1,000 bonds, for the lit
tie investors stand to lose far more
than large investors from bad fnan-
cial management. "-Spokesman-

SURVEYING FOR
ANOTHER ROAD

The Yakima Republic of last
week contains the following item
of news:
Surveys are being made for a
lumber railroad line connecting
the Northern Pacific at Ellensburg
with the Great Northern at point
i'll the Cashmere region. The pro-
jected line penetrates an untouched
timber region, and is primarily i'll
tended as lumber road; but is
eventually expected to do a general
carrying business. Irvine Watson,
who is in charge of the surveying
crew, is a resident of North Yaki-
ma.
The route of the projected
line is about SIS miles long and
surmounts an elevation of about
1000 feet on this side of the di
vide and descent of about 5000
feet on its northern side.
The Eckhardt family gave an
entertainment in Weeds opera
house on Monday evening before
large and appreciative audience.
The music produced by the mem
Oers of the company on the Swiss
Bells, Marimbaphone, Aluminium
Chimes and Musical Glasses earned
for the PLAYERS a great deal of well
deserved applause. The vocal Sc
leCtions many of which were
humorous-w were highly pleasing.
The entertainment as a whole was
of a very excellent character. -

enough to beat out a majority of the
outfielders whom Comiskey has ex-
perimented with these past two or
three seasons. The outfield Is where
ne will be tried, Of course. Chicago
being In the same position as WASH
ington IN that what 1t most needs is
the addition Of couple of gardeners
and first baseman. Callahan is q
strong right-hand batsman, and a
very wise ball player. With McIn-
tyre, Callahan and Parent, the Sox
would have veteran outfield, but It
wouldn't be a very good continuance
OF the policy Of building UP a new
team. It would suggest too much the
experience Of st. Louis in 1908, when
1t got together an aggregation of vet
Grams who all but grabbed flag. only
to fade to nothing the next year.
Chances, however, are against either
Donohue or Callahan landing, IL CO.
mtskey has young material of any
class to battle them.

There are just two managers in the

the initial sack, and Connie Mack is
pretty sure to keep Harry Davis on

the American league who has star

comes to the worst, Fred Clark can
shift Wagner over to first and keep
him there. but the other managers in

for first basemen and they are will

RECORDS MADE
ON TRACK IN 1910
Mike Murphy, Veteran Trainer Of
Athletes, Talks of Track Teams
of the Year

When considering only the actual
number of track and field records
broken last year, one would think that
1t was banner year in this sport.
Altogether no less than twenty-five
new records were put down on the
books for 1910. OF course, eighteen
are credited to just two men, but of
the lot only one Is what we know as a
standard record; that Is, record for
an event which appears on most ath-
letic programs. The record 1 refer
to Is the five-mile record of rs min
utes 8 1-5 seconds. made by George
Bonhag at Travers Island. This rec
ord supplants the old mark of
25:23 3-5, made by Ed Carter in 1887.
There were some wonderful per-
formances during the year 1910. OF
them all l am INCLINED to believe that
the 220-yard run Of Craig of Michigan
In which he eqtslled the world rec
ord Of 81 is seconds deserves to rank
first. For any man to run seven heats
as he did and then in the final make
this time. beating such sterling per-
former as Ramsdell, stamps him as q 1
marvel, and one who will bear watch
ing.
Next to Craig's performance l
should place that of Scott, the young
California pole vaulter. l would like
to see Scott pitted against Nelson of
Yale. 1t should be borne in mind that
Scott made his record when he had
little stern competition. Nelson, how
ever, did his best work at the end of
six hours Of vaulting spread over two
afternoons. Still another creditable |
record was that of Burdick of Penn
sylvania, who jumped 6O3 Ia in the
high jump.
On the matter of allowing records
ever did 9 3-5 seconds for 100 yards
A. A. U. book. trained Kelly for the
Olympic games and he had every
chance to make good, yes he never
showed better speed than 10 20 Sec
onds. At'the same time he was first
class broad jumper and had he stuck
to this event he would surely have
made record for himself.
It Is so easy for amateur pistol
firers and timers, who are enthusiastic
to see new records made, to let the
athlete have the advantage Of frac-
ton Of a second on the start and finish
Of his race. II is a great injustice to
the old champions to have their hon
estly made marks supplanted by shady
performances, Of which there have
been entirely too many.
The number of men. for instance.
who can run 100 yards in 10 seconds
are few and far between and before
any man is given a record better than
this his performance should be closely
scrutinized.

GAME N
HISTORY OF STATE
Company q and Y. M. g. A.
Meet Tonight and Struggle
For Championship

Tonight will occur the much her.
aided basketball game between Co.
G. OF Valley City and the strong Y.
NJ. G. A. team Of this city. There is
no doubt but what this game will
settle the championship of the state
as far as the basketball title goes. At
has been stated before in these COL
umns the soldiers have not met de-
feat this year and have cleaned up
every team in the state that lays
claim to championship honors by de-
ctsive scores with the exception of
the. Grand Forks Y. NJ. c. A. quint.
The game last night proved that
the militia boys have q team that is
worthy Of respect and that the local
~" will have tough fight tonight
when they meet for the decisive game.
Comparative scores give the Y. NJ. C..
A. quint the best Of the argument but
comparative scores are a poor crit
erion to Judge by in basketball be-
cause of the hundred and one little
things that might happen.
Both Of the teams are confident of
victory this evening but what the re-
suit Of the struggle will be remains
to be seen. It is said that the Com
pany G. team which has always been
a factor in the race for honors in
this state have a faster five this year
than they have ever had before. The
Y. M. c. A. quint is also there with
some class and with the meeting Of
these two teams the spectators of the
game will see the fastest basketball
contest ever pulled off in this city.
No one who appreciates good playing
and athletics can afford to miss the
struggle tonight.

WILL HAVE ONE
RACING CIRCUIT

There has been nothing done vet
this year, toward organizing the
Great Northern and the Southern
Racing circuits of the state. The
Great Northern circuit in past years
has been composed of racing men and
towns in the northern part of the
state, the southern circuit comprising
the towns in the southern part Of the
state and west along the main line
of the Northern Pacific.
Some Of the old towns on the
Northern circuit have signified their
Intentions of dropping out this year
and others in the southern circuit
have done the same. None of the
500 towns between the Great North
ern railroad and the Northern Pacific
will be represented this year.
It may be that the horse racing Of
the state Is losing its interest but
there are still great many fast
horses In North Dakota and their
owners are very willing to enter
them in races.
Owing to the fact that there are so
many towns dropping out Of the two
circuits 1t has been suggested that
the remaining associations combine
and make one association. While
nothing definite in regard to this plan
has been done the men who are push
ing the Great Northern circuit state
that the only way that four or five
weeks racing can be done and have
entries enough to create interest ia to
combine the two old associations, A
meeting will be held in the near fu-
ture and the matter will be adjusted.
Where and when the meeting will be
held has. not yet been announced.
This will create more interest in the
state than the two circuits formerly
did. s7 . -

made a record for himself on the
Valley City normal team.
The game was called at $3.50 and
started of with rush, the "u" team
doing fine work against the visitors
and managing to stick within reach
Of a tie score with them, until the
end Of the half. when couple of bas-
kets put the visitors ahead. with a
good lead. The, half ended with a
score Of 17-11.
! The fact that Company G. is not
used to such a large playing space
as the university gymnasium affords,
handicapped them to certain extent.
The second half started with fast and
dirty plays. both teams trying to
rough the other. Ten fouls were
called on Company G. in this half and
i've on the varsity. About the. middle

cut over the left eye, that put him

team work. The varsity had a chance

Something About Ables.
Some Of these youngsters that we
are reading about are not SO very
young as the press agents would
have us believe. Harry Ables, the
left-handed pitcher whose work in
leading the Texas league In trike-
outs last year was made much Of the
other day, when the announcement
that he had signed his New York
American contract was given to the
press. has been knocking about San
Antonio for several years, and was
given a trial by Cleveland in 1909.
Ables is big enough and has enough
stuff to make good. but he falls short.
His poor work as a fielder has al
ways been one great handicap to him,
pitchers who can be hunted on, or
tied up in plays when there are men
on the bases, not doing very we'll in
the more select circles. Ables has
one distinction that is unique, so far
as known. He is the only player the
writer has ever seen who could COM
pletely hide ball in his hand. This
ts so large and the fingers so long
that he can completely inclose a reg

News Of the Sox.
Charles A. Comiskey, who some
time ago announced his intention to
give Jiggs Donohue a chance to
prove his claim that he can come
back and make good on first base,
now proposes to go q bit further. He
plans to add Jimmie Callahan to his
encourage, and will have his one-time
manager at Mineral Wells, working
out with the Colts. Callahan has
been out of major league ball for a
half dozen years, but has never quit
the game, having played each season
with his Logan Square team. He is
far from a youngster, but his habits
have been Of the hest in recent yea,s
