The bathers have access to the bath
ing pavilion. and they dress and un-
dress in the same rooms that they
used in the summer time. Two men
first made their appearance on the
beach about II o'clock. They stalked
about for awhile trying to appear un-
concerned, but they soon got the ball
into action to try to stop the chatter
ing of their teeth which had been max
ing a noise like castanets.
Throw Medicine Ball.
In a few minutes another joined these
two. and soon half a dozen hardy citi-
zens. attired in the regulation bathing
suits with sweaters over them. were at
work on the medicine ball. Quite a
crowd had collected on the beach to
watch them. Some Of the curious had
come in automobiles, and these stood
around in greatcoats and furs and
were none too warm at that
After tossing the medicine ball
around for fifteen or twenty minutes an

trimmed beard broke out Of the circle

FLETCHER DOES BASEBALL
BIG SERVICE.
Third Major League Busbsar Raises
Salaries and Gets Out New Money.

Salaries and Gets Out New Money.
D. A. Fletcher of Cincinnati, who SO
ingloriously promoted a third major
baseball league, did not live in vain, so
fa- as the national pastime is concern
ed. He did a great good in his me-
teoric diamond career, both for the
magnates and for the players. He Sc
cured substantial raises all around for
the active pastimers. and he stirred the
magnates to the fact that it behooved
them to give the public better competi-
tions.
The fruits Of Fletcher's exploits rip
ened the sale Of two major league
clubs. These were St. Louis in the
American league and Boston in the
National circuit For the past several
seasons these clubs have been white
elephants both on the hands Of their
owners and on the hands Of the leagues
which they represented. These teams
were tail enders. They drew poorly at
home and more poorly on ths road.
For the good Of both leagues retrench-
ments in these cities proved necessary.
The old owners would not or could not
procure the necessary players Of class.
New owners with new capital and
perhaps new management offer q
chance to revive interest in cities
which have come to look for tail enders.
A chain is no stronger than in its
weakest link. This does not apply
strictly to baseball circuit. But it IL
well known that the success Of q league
depends directly on the closeness Of
the composition The American League

Carnival
 HERE ALL THIS WEEK
PLEASED Arkadelphians

The Nigro < Loos Shows arrived early this morning and immediately began erecting their show parapher- nalia. The following is letter from the officials of Philadelphia, where this company exhibited during the past week:
 To Whom it May Concern:
 This is to certify that the Nigro & Loos Company have presented good clean and wholesome attractions while in our city. They conducted them selves in very creditable manner and had large crowds every night during their stay here; in fact, our people patronized this company far better than any other show of it's kind that has ever visited our city.
 Everybody was pleased with their performances and they leave here with as clean a record as could be made; and to cover the shows in their entirety will say that this is a clean company and is made up of ladies and gentlemen.
 Generally, as a rule, the college off, cials of this city have heretofore re- fused any of it's members to visit shows, but in this instance they were allowed to attend this carnival with out restrictions. We do not hesitate to recommend this company to any town or city wherever they show and we can assure any community in which they present their attractions that the people will get their money s worth.

PRESIDENT WILL NOT
STAR AS GOLF PLAYER

DENVER, Sept. THAT President
Taft does not expect TO have time for
MS favorite game in the course of his
coming Swing around the circle, > is
indicated by a telegram received here
Yesterday by President Johnson, of the
chamber of commerce, in which it is
asked that golf fonrsome which had
been arranged between the President
and Mai Archibald Butt. his military
aide. and President A. C. Foster and
Walter Fairbanks of the Denver Coun-
try club. be eliminated from the presi-
dent Denver programme.
The message, which was from the
president s secretary, Charles D Hilles,
assigned no reason, but it is surmised
here that if precedent were estab.
lished, the president would find himself
inspecting the various golf courses of
tbe nation instead of enlightening the
voters regarding reciprocity, arbitra-
tion and the tariff.
