SAVAGE SPORT.
Shaping Game of the Bontoc lsorrotes
a Unique Contest.

a Unique Contest.
Every nation has its own idea of
sport. That of the wild Igorrotes of
northern Luzon used to consist prin-
cipally of head hunting. grisly and
bloody recreation which the American
occupation discouraged. But not all
the pastimes of the lgorrotes are as
horrible as this. One rather amusing
game of which they are fond is thus
described by Dean G. Worcester In the
National Geographic Magazine:
A constabulary officer tells us that
If we want to see unique contest we
must ask for the slapping game Of the
Bontoc Igorrotes. We want TO see all
there is going and say so.
A wooden bench is brought out, and
two 1.-THE and muscular young men
step forward One of them squats on
the bench, grasping his right thigh in
his hands SO as to tighten the muscles
as much as possible.
The other stands beside him and
stretches out his right arm. He
throws his arm back and then sweeps
IL forward In full round arm swing.
The blow falls on thin air, close to the
frightened thigh muscles of his oppo-
nent
He now swings his arm back again,
his whole body turning with 1t. rises
on the toes of his left foot and puts
every ounce of strength which he pos
sesses into blow delivered with the
fiat of his hand upon the rigid thigh
Of his opponent. Knots Of muscle
spring out on his arm, back and legs
as he strikes and the blow cracks like
revolver shot.
The recipient endeavors, sometimes
with poor success, to preserve an ex-
preston Of contemptuous indifference.
The judges examine his thigh. IL the
blow has been hard enough blood will
show just beneath the skin and he
will not have the stisfaction of taking
whack at his opponent. but If this
result has rot been achieved the other
must take his seat on the bench and
submit to be smitten.
The contest continues until one sue
ceeds In producing the bloody mark
on the other.

To rHR EDITOR,
Dear SIR


trust that you will kindly grant
us the privilege of making an explain.
alton through your paper of the Hun.
terdon County Local Option League g
endorsement of the candidacy of Mr..
Agans.
We desire it to be understood that
this endorsement applied only for the
Primary contest, and we hope to
have the privilege of endorsing a can
didate on the Republican ticket also
for the Primaries. In the event of
both OF these men, receiving the NOM
ination, We OF course, as is our GUS
tom, withdraw entirely from the field.
1t is our inviolable rule not to make
any choice between the friends of Lo-
cal Option. and thus we maintain a
strictly non-partisan attitude. When
Mr.. Agans received the endorsement
of the Hunterdon County Local OPP
ton League, it was clearly with the
understanding that he was the only
tnhh III the neld al that time who
openly espoused the cause.
Let me assure you that we do not
enter the political arena for the pro-
motion of any individual. but simply
and solely for the promotion of tho
principle Of home.rule ON the liquor
traffic. AS l understand the past rec.
ord OF the League, it has boen true to
this policy, and assure you that il
shall remain true to 1t under the pres
ent administration.
Thanking you kindly for space for
this explanation. 1 am,
Yours respectfully,

Nature has lust one pigment on her palette
with which she produces all the marvellous
tints OF beauty, and that ono pigment is the
blood. The shell-lika pink beneath the fin

lance Of the eyes are II produced By the
blood. Just as the permanence OF u
beautiful painting will depend upon the
purity Of the colors with which it is painted
so the permanence of beauty depends on the
blood. Paint, powder and cosmetics won't
avail to perserye beauty. Beauty begins in
the blood. DIR Pieree's Golden Medical Dis
eoyory is n true beautifer, because IL pro-
yides for nature that pure blood with which

Not satisfied with a reputation which
has made him the greatest composer of
popular songs in America, Gus Ed
wards has decided to devote his future
efforts to the production of big novel
ties for vaudeville. Coming to the
Trent next week is his latest variety Of
fering, a condensed musical comedy in
three settings, entitled "rhe High Fly
ers." Headed by Johnny Stanley,
well known Broadway comedian, and
bevy of pretty girls, this act stands
out as one of the most unique produc-
tons that Mr.. Edwards has yet placed
in the variety field. During the action
of the piece seven catchy song num-
beers are rendered, all of which bear the
Edwards brand OF harmony and origin
ality.
The rest Of the bill is an unusually
attractive one. There is a certain de.
gree of sameness to bicycle acts, but
that Of the ST. Onge Troupe, which is
another of the big features, will, no
doubt, meet with great favor because
of the fact that it is just little differ
ent. This act will occupy the position
of closing the show and preceding it on
the program will be w. S. "Rube"
Dickinson, a we'll known rural coined
ian who has acquired quite reputa-
ton during the past few years as a fun
maker.
j. e. Nugent a well known variety
performer, and Miss Hlda Hawthorne,
a remarkably clever ventriloquist, will
take care Of the rest of the comedy,
while Williams & Warren in song and
dance specialties, and Hedder & Son,
acrobats, complete the bill.
Approaching the fact that the Trent
Theatre derives large percentage Of
its business from the towns outside the
immediate vicinity Of Trenton the Trent
management has installed long dis.
lance telephone, over which orders
may be communicated for any of the
performances. Tickets ordered in this
way will be held until two o'clock for
the afternoon performance and until
eight o'clock for the evening perform
ance, with the exception OF Saturdays,
when no reservations will be received
on that day.

MAY MEAN BIG FIGHT.
American Association Wants Rating
Above Western.

INDIANAPOLIS. Aug 17@That the
American association baseball mag
mates will refuse to renew the ten-year
agreement now in existence among
clubs in the National Association of
Professional Baseball Clubs, which ex-
pires September 6, is the prevailing
opinion in baseball circles here. 1t is
claimed that the agreemen works to
a great disadvantage to the clubs in
the association.
Under the present classification, the
Southern association, the Western
league and the Pacific Coast league
are put on an equal standing with the
American association ard the Eastern
league. as far as the buying selling
and drafting of players ard the protec-
ton of property rights are concerned.
The American ssociation club owners
object to being placed on the same
footing with the three leagues named,
for the reason that. it is asserted, these
clubs do not have much more than
half of the playing population that the
association cities have.
The drafting of one player by the
major leagues from each team in the
association is not the only hardship
worked on these clubs. They say they
are handicapped in building up win
ming teams, since they are unable to
go out and compete with the major
league clubs in buying in tho market
and they are practically prohibited
from placing promising material with
teams in smaller leagues. Any player
bought is subject to draft and any
player placed with a smaller league
may be grabbed the same way unless
he is returned to the American asso-
citation clubs before August 20, while
the major leagues may place a player
of promise with any of the minor clubs
with a string to him.
It is understood the American mag
mates will demand they be placed on
a more equal footing with the Ameri-
can and National league teams or they
will refuse to continue under the pres
ent agreement
