OLYMPIC GAMES LOST
$243,0O0 TO ORGANIZERS
However, There Is Some Compensate ton
to the Swedes, as Games Were
Good from Athletic
Standpoint.

Stockholm, Sweden, Oct. 5.-The
Olympic games were great financial
failure, not less than $243,OO0 having
been lost by the organizers, according
TO the final auditing OF the accounts,
From the standpoint of good sport,
the games were acknowledged to have
been well conducted. Good order and
system were characteristic of the pro-
gram from day to day But this good
management meant heavy cost and the
promoters of the affair find themselves
facing this great deficit. This amount
does not include the cost of the stadium
The whole income from the stadium,
including season tickets, was slightly
more than S270,000. On the day OF the
marathon, S22.7ss was taken in at the
gates, and adding TO this the season tick
cts for that day, the income was $34,-
1913, which is the largest sum ever taken
in Sweden for public affair.
Sweden is not disheartened by the
deficit, as il was expected from the start,
and the country feels well repaid in hav-
ing shown the world the high degree
OF her craftsmanship and management.
She was successful in both of these en-
deavors and it is considered certain that
the Swedish government, recognizing
these facts, will not hesitate TO place
at the disposal of the committee the
funds necessary to pay all of its debts.
1t is expected that the Swedish gov
eminent will grant a considerable sub
sidy TO the Swedish participants in the
Panama Pacific exposition.
John Hammar, managing director of
the Swedish Expectation society, has
left for San Francisco to prepare for
the participation of Sweden. A number
of industries are deeply interested in
the exposition, and these are already |
planning their exhibits. Among these
are the wood pulp interests, the tele-
phone companies, the Swedish match in
dustry and the makers of creamery ma
chinery.
A unique contribution toward the /
erection Of Swedish building at the
Panama Pacific international exposition
at San Francisco is to be made by Miss
Ida Olson, president OF the woman's
auxiliary of the Swedish-American So
,iety OF California.
1t is a golden cushion, which, when
finished, will have on its surface the

COLONIAL DESIGN SUBMITTED IS
GIVEN GENERAL APPROVAL
OF MEMBERS.
GOTHIC DESIGN IS
NOT so WELL LIKED
Probable That Committee Will Select
Colonial Design, With Few IL Any,
Chansss-Has Permanent Seating
Capacity Of 500 on Main Floor and
1aIcony-DstaiIs Of Proposed Plan.

Hastily sketched elevations and
floor plans of the proposed Congrega-
tional church, which have been SUD-
mitted to the plan and building com
mittee, and thru them to the members
of the congregation, are receiving the
general approval of all who have seen
them. 1t Is probable that the sketches.
about as they have been prepared, will
receive the 20. K" of the committee.
If so they will be returned to the ar
chitect to make detailed plans.
A committee meeting for that pur-
pose will perhaps be held early next
week. In the meantime the plans are
at the Benedict & Brintnall store for
the inspection of members OF the
church.
Exterior Colonial Design.
The architects submitted two
sketches of exteriorS, one colonial
design and the other Gothic The
former seems to be much the more
popular with not only the committee
but with the church members who
have seen both. 1t is probable this de-
sign will be accepted.
The plans provide for building
having ground dimensions over all of
91x96 feet, and a seating capacity OF
500 in the stationary pews, with room
for 800 or more extra temporary seats.
A balcony provides seats for $50.
Design is Simple.
The exterior design is plain and has
no elaborate trimmings. In general
form the ground plan OF the church is
almost square. The north, or front ele-
walton, presents gable, the north end
of the auditorium portion of the build
ing, ard the side of that part of the
building intended especially for Sunday
school purposes. The auditorium occu-
pies the west part OF the church, and
the Sunday school department the east
side.
Centering the north gable is group
of ornamental windows, with the main
entrances to the auditorium on both
| sides of them. A cloister faces Main
street on the north side of the Sunday
school portion, and on the east Is a
porte cochere, under which vehicles
may unload their passengers directly
into the building.
Pulpit on South End.
The platform. pulpit. choir loft. and
organ are placed in the south end OF
the west portion of the building. A
| foyer. 26x1S, on the north end, into
which the main entrances open. is one
of the features of the first floor. Dr.
rectly over the foyer is the gallery.
| On the first floor of the Sunday
school section is primary room, with
an elevated floor at the south end. in
tended to be used for a platform for
Sunday school programs. Other class
rooms are also included. These open
into the auditorium. There are six sep
arated class rooms in the second floor
of the east portion of the building.
The basement has been divided into
club rooms. social rooms, parlors, a
dining room, kitchen and study for
! the pastor.

Now is the time for the housewife

liberia peaches have arrived. There
has never been shipped any finer fruit
from that state. The price is low. The
quality of the fruit the best. The OPP

for telling the truth, and when they
say that the quality is there you can
bank on every word Of it. But after
all the best way is to see the fruit
yourself. You are putting up fruit
now to eat next winter and it would be
wise to be sure that quality goes into
the can now. Next winter will be too
late. Call at the store and let US show
you these peaches. You will agree

you'd should expect.

High-class catchers seem to be al
most indispensable to championship
ball clubs. True, there have been a
few pennant winners, notably De-
troit, who could not boast backstops
whose work bordered on greatness,
but vast majority of them were very
strong behind the bat.
This was true Of the old Detroit
champions of 1887 with Charley Ben
nett behind the bat. Hughie Jen-
nings managed to struggle along with
out a really high-class backstop until
this season, and to cop a few pen
nants despite this handicap. But the
surprising and phenomenal develop
ment of Oscar Stanage has served to
strengthen the Tigers in that depart
ment this season.
Had not Jennings cast aside Archer,
it would not have been necessary for
Detroit to await the budding of Stan
age into star. Archer was dia-

GREAT BASE STEALER
Veteran Fans Give Bill LANCE
Credit for Honor.
Californian Was Especially Clever In
Going From First to Second
Had Big Advantage In His
Tremendous Size.

Veteran fans will tell you that Bill
Lange was the greatest base stealer OF
all time. Bill was especially great
in going from first to second. He had
everything figured down to a nicely.
It's one of the A, B, C's of the game
that the second baseman covers the
bag IL left-deld hitter is at bat and
the short-stop, if the batter is not
able right-deld swatter. Every man
has his tendencies toward plugging
the ball a certain direction.
When LANCE was on first he would
stand f1at-footed off the sack a few
feet and watch the man who was ex-
pected to cover second. AS a catcher
is liable to throw wide or high the
expectant tagger always glances
around to see whether the center
fielder is going to back him up. This
was the time Bill LANCE started his
steal. He would have the opposition
Off guard momentarily The short
stop or second baseman, glancing over
his shoulder, would be delayed trifie
and Bill would be coming down the
line like a streak. His tremendous
size and force when he slid into
second made him feared, anyway, SO
he had every advantage in his favor.
1t was his selection of psychological
moments in a game that made Bill
LANCE such a power in the sport
Mike Kelly of Slide, Kelly, Slide IS
fame was perhaps the fastest starter
on stealing bases the game has deve-
loped He could stand stock still and
then develop top speed in a couple
of steps The advantage of this is
obvious Kelly inaugurated many
plays in baseball which are being
used today.
When Kelly and John Clarkson, the
great pitcher of his sine, were sold
to Boston for $4,000 apiece they set
! the record for the highest price ever
paid for ball players up to their time
There always has been a standing
dispute whether King Kelly or Buck
Ewing was the greatest catcher. II
never will be decided satisfactorily.
Ewing also contributed many new
ideas to the game. Tom Burns, one
time manager of the Chicago Colts
says it was Ewing who first rar
