Tacoma 8, Spokane 2.
Asher, the Tigers new "Three
i" pitcher, was tried out yester-
day and he was THERE. t"Put
It in the paper that it would have
taken THREE-EYED man to hit
him." whispered the office boy
Here you, kid, beat it.")
Asher had a nice assortment of
curves and seems like a cool head.
He allowed the Indians six hits,
famed three men, allowed three
bases on balls and most important,
he won the Tigers first game since
last Thursday, week ago today.
The Tigers runs came hard at
first, Just run at a time, like
pulling teeth until the eighth,
when Bonner who had gone in
after Cocash had batted for Houck
the inning before. went down be-
fore volley of hits, which count
ed four runs.
Tauscher's base stealing brought
Tacoma's first run. The second
came on singles by Abbott and
Burns and some wild throwing by
Spokane. In the sixth, Kennedy
walked. Abbott doubled, scoring
Big Ed, and went to third on
Burns sacrifice, and came home
on Fishers single.
Morse back at short, played a
spectacular fielding game, ana got
hit and a run to his credit.

CAMP PERRY, Ohio, Aug. "a.
Sergeant Warner 8. Hale of
Monroe, Ca, wins the individual
rapid fire rifle championship of
the United States with score of
100 in twenty shots in the Nation
al Rifle Association matches here.
This single announcement
means, to the rifle crank of the
country, that a new and wonder
full record has been established.
Take careful look at any man
on the street two blocks distant
and notice how small a mark his
head and shoulders present. Then
figure what your chances would be
to hit that mark.
Well Sergeant Hale had Just
four seconds to each shot-four
seconds in which to recover his
balance after the kick of his army
Springfield, to pull back and
thrust forward the breech bolt of
his rifle clearing it of the exploded
shell and pushing in fresh cart
ridge from the magazine, to take
fresh aim on the mark two hun
dred yards away and pull the trig-
ger.
Yet he hit that mark 20 consec-
utive times under these conditions
scoring five points for each shot.
Lieut.. Westover of the u. 8. in
fantry shot even with Serg. Hale
for three Strings" of five shots
each. But in the fourth string
he dropped one bullet just below
the figure on the target, scoring
a four and makinsphis total 80 to
Hale's 90 points.

The Victorious One.

An indianapolis business man was
marooned on election night in 1904 in
an Illinois village, says the Saturday
Evening Post. Naturally he was in
terested in the election. He wanted to
find out whether Mr.. Roosevelt or Mr..
Parker had won. He began investi-
eating and discovered that the tele-
phone girl quit at o'clock and that
the telegraph agent at the station
knocked off work after the evening
train went through. which was rarely
later than 6 p. m.
At 8 o'clock the landlord shut up
the hotel, telling his guest to take the
room at the head Of the stairs when
he was ready to go to bed. No news
was to be had. and the business man
went to bed, that being all he could DO
Next morning he was awakened by
the heavy tread of boots on the plank
sidewalk. He threw up the window
and asked the passerby. Say. who
was elccted?'

THE QUICKEST WAY.
How One Might Travel 100 Miles In
About Ten Minutes.

NHSNe i0u NltUuIoS.
1t is estimated that If all mechanical
difficulties could be removed and suffi-
Gent power developed the minimum
time in which passengers could be
transported over the eighty-five miles
from New York to Philadelphia would
be six minutes and forty-four seconds
and for the 100 miles from Boston to
New York ten minutes and four Sec
onds. A correspondent of the Scien-
tific American who has been working
on the problem says that the trains
would have to be run in a vacuum to
prevent their being heated to mean
descence by the resistance Of the air.
They would have to be held in sus-
pension in the vacuum tube through
which they Travelled, for the slightest
contact with the sides of the tube
would result in enormous friction.
The cars might be held in suspension
by the propulsion Of opposing magnets
on the cars and on the tubes respec.
lively. When thus isolated they could
be propelled only by the power Of
magnetism. The energy consumed in
propelling the cars would be compare
lively low.
To avoid shock or jar the trains
would travel faster and faster until
one-half of the distance should be COW
cred and then slow down until the
destination should be reached. When
the rate Of acceleration is just such as
can be borne with comfort the limit
Is attained. The effect on the passen.
gers would be continuous pressure
against the back Of the seat, as when q
car is started suddenly, for the first
half of the journey, and then in order
to prevent them from pitching out of
their seats the chairs would be turned
in the opposite direction for the rest
Of the journey, during which the same
sensation would be felt.
At the speed named the passengers
would be travelling for each half of
the distance one-third as fast as they
could fall through the same space un.
der the attraction Of gravity.

re "Dassent."

The selection Of the right word to
convey ones meaning is sometimes
more important than the rules of gram
mar. So it appeared to the bridge po-
liceman, who is an alert sociological
student. An east side resident of for
eign birth was taken before the mag
istrate in one Of the police courts
charged with trivial offense.

to the policeman on the bridge.
"The judge says you dassent do it.

Riding Away With tho Bride.

In many of the border counties of
England the quaint old bridal customs
OF hundreds Of years ago are still in
vogue. The parents carefully abstain
from appearing at the marriage cere-
mony. clinging to the idea that the
bridegroom still rides away on a foam
ing steed with his bride behind him as
IN the good old days. The brides pre-
fer the custom to the modern method
Of being given away at the altar in the
orthodox fashion.
