Twelve, long, healthy hits for a
total of q bases gave TO Decatur on
the local lot yesterday, victory
over the Islander Pill tossers, score
: to 2. The fact that the visitors
made those u hits at opportune
moments almost tells the story Of the
whole game, for nothing else, for
wonder, aided them IN sending run
ners across the pan with tallies. True
it is that the Islanders made pair of
errors, but for once, they made no
material difference in the total Of
scores. So Decatur has credit for
the first earned victory on the local
lot by a visiting aggregation since
the return Of the team last week.
SMITH HITS TWO OUT OF LOT
Dick Smith was the one big bet
with the stick yesterday. He clouted
the sphere over the back fence once
and over the left field fence another
time. Collins had a home run
which really was a freak in a way,
though it was a good swat. The ball
barely cleared The Argus sign board
below the score board and hit the
score board low enough to drop be-
tween the inner and outer enclos-
ures.
The Islanders were accredited with
! 0 wallops but they were scattered
except in the second inning when

across the pan. In that very inning

"A Homo Made Medicine that Makes
You Sit Up and Take Notice
The intense heat of this summer has
affected many people SO that they
can work but very little; they say they
are constantly tired and worn out.
This condition is neither natural nor
necessary. 1t is almost always due to
a slightly disordered stomach; q per.
fectly healthy man or women can
work even better in hot weather than
what we call Comfortably cool day
People who are thus affected by the
heat need a hot weather tonic, one
that goes direct to the cause of their
trouble. the stomach; and one that
has a gentle tonic effect on the entire
system.
Such a medicine you can make right
lin your own home. Here is the recipe:

UNNAMED BOAT IS
RUN BY WIRELESS
Interesting Experiment Made
on Wannsee Lake, Near
Berlin, Germany.
National News Associs tion)


Berlin. Aug 1.--Tests of the effici-
ency OF an unnamed motor boat,
steered and controlled by wireless tel
agraphy from the shore took place re-
Gently on the Wannsee Lake, near
Berlin. In the presence OF a large num-
her OF military and naval officers, en-
cheering experts and foreign naval
and military attaches.
The inventor, Herr Christian Wirth.
conducted the experiment with Cap
tain Won Meerscheidt, a prominent
member of the German Navy League,
which issued Invitations for this inter-
esting sight.
The unnamed motor boat was tow
ed to the middle of the lake, about a
mile from the shore and then Captain
Won Meerscheidt gave a succession OF
orders, which Herr Wirth carried out
by transmitting electric waves from
the apparatus ashore to the receiver
on board.
In this way, he started the motor,
then stopped it, drove the boat ahead
or astern to starboard or port, and
caused it to describe intricate figures
on the water. such as the letter IS"
and the figure 49,"
/ The boat which cruised backwards
and forwards for a distance varying
! from one to two miles from the appar-
atus whereby 1t was controlled, exc
fcuted each order given by Captain Won
kMeerscheidt with absolute precision.
The "Taeglische Rundschaus' spe-
,cial naval correspondent writes: "a
group of experts watched with aston
yishment the movements of this phan-
tom ship, and drew conclusions re-
tgarding marine battles of the future in
(which torpedo-boats. controlled by
wireless >telegraphy, may be hurled
with forty-knot speed at battleships
and sink them. II is still too early to
prophecy how far this invention will
take US because 1t has only just en-
rcrged from the laboratory, and has not
undergone many practical tests but
sooner or later capitalists will finance
Herr Wirth's discovery and then un-
manned vessels OF various sizes will
be constructed in large numbers.
