players came together. Tn the meantime both runners had crossed the plate and the Philadelphia supporters were mad with joy, as they figured those two runs would win the way Bender was going. It was my opinion that Merkle had won hair line decision, and 1 called Collins out, killing the two runs and Philadel- pha's one big chance. Since winning the first game is always regarded as big start. it looked then as if my decision would play a very prominent part in the outcome of the struggle. The Athletics, however upset tradition by taking the series after dropping the opening game.

The Man On The Box.

The Detroit Free Press In a recent
issue says: "The Man on the Box was
seen Saturday night at the Lyceum
Theatre by a good sized audience and
was well received. 1t is filled with
funny scenes that keep the interest
of the audience alta high pitch, besides
provoking laughter throughout. The
play Is one which deserved a packed
house, the audience present, how
ever, showing their appreciation OF
the lines by repeated applause and
laughter. Mr.. Boyd B. T%rousdale and
Miss Bernice Trousdale in the lead
ing roles created very favorable COM
ment; the other members of the COM
pany were very clever and interpreted
the lines as the author evidently in
tended. On the whole it was a very
good show"
The above attraction will be seen
at Lyric Theatre on Wednesday Oct 2.

AMERICAN WINS IN WORLD
WIDE CONTEST

1t is not often that a young man
jumps into fame over night or, to eX.
press it mildly, so quickly as Walter
Burley Griffin, who has just been
awarded the first prize in the inter.
national competition for a design for
the capital city OF the Australian
colonies. Jumping into fame over
night, however, does not do Mr..
Griffin justice. There was the latent
talent, backed up by push, energy,
enterprise and industry.
Mr.. Griffin, who has just passed his
thirty-tirst birthday, and who has
been practicing Independently only
seven years, had as his competitors
more than a hundred other architects
including some of the most famous
designers of this country and Europe.
What makes his success all the more
remarkable, perhaps is the fact that
his plan was prepared in a much
shorter time than was available by
the majority of the other contestants.
This was due to the a that he did
not learn of the competition, which
was opened a year ago last June, until
the following November. He spent
only two months in work upon his
plans, and finally submitted thirteen
drawings, five feet by thirty inches.
These included a general plan OF h
city and its environs, long sections
through the city in two directions,
and a perspective bird'S-eye view OF
the city from n of the local noun
tains. His plan carries not only hon
or but a cash reward of So, $50.
When the Commonwealth OF Austria
liza was created in 1900, one Of the
provisions Of the Constitution was
that a new capital city should be es-
tablished and that the site of the city
should be in a federal district owned
and administered by the Common
wealth and not by any one Of the in
dividual states. This arrangement is
based upon that of our capital city Of
Washington, located in the District
of Columbia. The territory selected
is in the Yass-Canberra district of
New South Wales and has an area of
900 square miles. The site is a
mountain plateau 1000 feet above the
sea-, and lies in a triangle formed by
three mountains.
The Australian capital. which has
not yet been named will be the first
capital since Washington d. c., to be
planned in detail before a shovelful of
dirt has been removed from it's site.
The ucces of Mr.. Grit1in's plans was
perhaps due to the fact that his
dream Of a city was based not alone
on architectural beauty, but was made
harmonic with the features of the
surrounding landscape. From "Chi.

Methodist Church Notices.

This pastor was not to blame that
there was no preaching nor even a
preacher at the church last Sunday
morning.
Definite arrangements had been
made for the day and others failed to
keep to their agreement so this pulpit
was vacant.
The pastor kept his part of the
arrangement in tact by raising the
amount of money needed and dedicat-
ing the Methodist church in Sher-
man, S. d. which becomes a part of
the Garretson Charge,
Special meeting of the Official
Board is called for Monday evening
Sept 23rd at which time all stewards
are to report on their work for next
year and final adjustments are to be
made for all the financial work for the
year beginning Oct. 1st according to
the new plan adopted.
Only three Sundays remain until
Conference and the District Superin-
tendent is to be present, preach and
administer the Sacrament of The
Lords Supper, on Sunday evening
Oct 9th.
The Fourth Quarterly Conference
will be held on Saturday evening
Oct 9Th unless otherwise announced.
The pastor will start for the Annual
Conference on Monday afternoon
Oct. 7th and all moneys subscribed
for various benevolent causes should
be paid to him at an early date.
Splendid prayer meetings have been
held and better ones are to follow and
others are urged to be present.
Every member of the church is re-
quested to make an effort to attend
the remaining services of the year.
Three weeks more and certainly every
one can stand the strain that long.

Her Bright Smile Haunts Me Still.

It's years 2ince last we met,
And we may not meet again;
| have struggled to forget:
But that struggle was in vain
For her voice lay on the breeze,
And her spirit comes at will;
In the midnight on the seas,
Her bright smill haunts me still.
At the first sweet dawn of light,
AS 1 gaze upon the deep;
The storm still greets my sight,
AS the stars their vigil keep.
AS ] close my aching eyes,
Sweet dreams my sense fill:
And through sleep, when / arise,
Her bright smile hauntS me still.
| have sailed meath azure skies,
L have trod the desert path;
l have seen the storms arise,
Like a giant in his wrath.
Every danger | have known,
That a reckless life would ill;
Yet her spirit has not flown,
For her bright smile hauntS me>Stil

CADILLAC SETS
A new ROAD MARK
CLIPS FORTY MINUTES FROM
RECORD MADE BY 1912 cADlL-
LAC IN RUN FROM Los AN
GELEs TO SAN FRANCISCO OVER
THE INLAND ROUTE.

Forty minutes were clipped from
the Los Angeles San Francisco record
I've the inland or valley route last
week by a 1913 Cadillac car driven by
Charles Soules. a well known racing
driver. The Cadillac. which left Los
Angeles at s o'clock Thursday morn
ing arrived in San Francisco at x
actly 1906 o'clock in the emf
setting a new mark of seventeen hours
and five minutes for a distance of al
most 500 miles.
The car driven by Soules was the
one that covered Eli miles Of the
toughest mountain ad desert roads in
the Les Angeles-to Phoenix road race
q few days before ard finished in per-
feet mechanical condition. During the
Los Anegeles-San Francisco run no
repairs were necessary. The record
was broken in spite of the fact the
road, in many places, was like a sea
of mud, that much time was lost in
turning out for teams and that three
men We're carried much of the way,
as a pilot was frequently necessary.
The record of seventeen hours and
forty-five minutes shattered by Soules
in the 1913 Cadillac was one made by
another Cadillac a year ago. That
mark was made by Beaudet when the
latter was cleaning up all the records
VI HoTti6Fn CalIornla, so apparently
1t Q a Cadillac to beat a Cadillac.
Sowles attempt with the 1913 grew
u of a request of Boz Fowler, the
aviator, for a car to pace him from the
southern metropolis to San Francis
co. re-
Soules did all his record breaking
north of Fresno. Leaving Los An
geles at 5 a. m, he reached Bakers
field at 1888. The car made Fresno
at 2:45 p. m. and Iilroy at Z O'Clock
in the evening. A half hour was con-
stunned in Bakersfield to replenish the
car with gasoline and oil and another
half hour was spent at Fresno for the
same purpose,
hi record for the run from Los
Angeles to San Francisco by the coast
route, also held by the Cadillac, is
fourteen hours and forty-nine minutes.
The record for the run to Los Angeles
to San Francisco and return by the
coast route is thirty-two hours and
thirty-five minutes and by the valley
route thirty mine hours and eight
minutes, both marks being made by a
Cadillac.
