 Some poke, that, at the bear cat of the bull moosers, from which we will hear again as soon as said bear cat can get the time to study out an en- tirely new set of refined and strictly up-to-date epithets to apply to his dis tingufshed rival.
 President Taft is very credulous person and he summoned all the cred ulity that he had in stock to his aid and is doing his best to believe that Elihu and the greatly esteemed bunch of patriots who accompanied him to the White House were sincere and hon. est when they expressed the belief that he has a swell chance to again preside over the milking of the White House COW for four years.

Your nomination." said Root-fine fei- low is Root-"has a broader basis than mere expression of choice between differ ent party leaders representing the same ideas. You have been nominated because you stand pre-eminently for certain fixed and essential principles which the repub- lican party maintains" Quite right, Root, never, by George. have you spoken truor words or uttered a sounder metaphor, Certain fixed and essential principles are especially good But why not go further and impart unto us, Root, old scout, who fixed" these "essentiar prin- ciples, and who are they so essential tv? We know, of course. that they have been fixed and that they are essential--es- sentlal as the very dickens--to the fellows that '.fixed' that, but somehow, my dear Root, the people have in some way got the idea that they are not essential to them

Bill Vines Says Taft Is Going to Get It Where the Society Lady

 Necklace
By pILL VINES

Washington. August .-(Special)-Pres- ident Taft has been notified. Everything possible was done to make the affair stupendous success. and cheerful. It was a great funeral procession. headed by the chief pallbeater. Elihu Root, that gathered in the east room of the White House and tried their best to make the President believe that he was going to be reelected. They were just about as en- thusastic and 'jubilant as gentleman who has just been Informed by the judge that. on certain Friday. he will be promptly and scientifically hung by the neck until he is good and dead, and then some.
 Senator Root declared, Your title to the nomination is as clear and unim- peachable as the title of any. candidate of any party since, political conventions began" Sure thing. Bill, 1t is about as "clear and unimpeachable" as the one Teddy handed you in 1e0S and the only Trouble is that great many folks in your own party have a hunch that it isn't, therefore, they are going to hand 1t to you right where the society queen wears her pearl necklace.

|OpENING ROUND OF TENNIS SINGLES
Pacific Coast Players Show Up Well Newport McLough lin Drops But One Game-R D. Little Defeats G. F. Touchard-Grounds and Weather Favorable

Newport, R. T., Aug. 19.-Three score matches in the opening round of the national lawn tennis championship in singles were run off today on the Ca sinO courts under fine conditions of turf and weather, and with no uneX- pected results. Nearly all the match es today were decided in straight sets. One of the longest contests of the day was between E. M. Hickman of Los Angeles and w. P. Burden of New port, which went five sets In the last set the Newport player had his man five love and forty fifteen. when the Pacific coast player rallied and took seven straight games and the match.
 The Pacific coast players showed up strongly. Mclaughlin dropped only a singe game, against Lieut.. F. B. Me Nair, U. s. N, stationed at the tor pedo station here. There were several other players from the army and navy, but they were unable to cope with the civilians.
 Three Germ9n players are entered in the tournament and two of them were eliminated, R. A. Auspit7er of Berlin being the only one left. He will play his match tomorrow. The matchwhich was featured for the forenoon was be- tween the two doubles champions-R D. Little and G. F. Touchard-who had been drawn against each other in the first round. Touchard was cratic and Little had no difficulty in capturing the fatch in straight sets.

THREE LIVES ENDANGERED
 AT PLEASURE BEACH
Timely Arrival of Rowboat Saved H.
 Year-Old Girl and Would-Be Rescu-

Three lives were endangered at Pleasure Beach Sunday morning as the result of Helen Norton, Il years old daughter of MT. and Mrs. M- A. Norton of Hartford, being carried away by wave, while wadfng near shore, and subsequent attempt at rescue by Arthur Knox of Hartford and C. Huntington Latham of North Franklin. The three were rescued by Donald Brown of Barre. Mass, and Merritt Bidwel of Mlddletown. who went to their rescue in a rowboat.
 The near fatalities and rescue took place about 11.3O, while the storm was at its height. The little girl was en- Joylng herself, wading near shore when a huge wave struck her and carried her out toward the Soo1nG- She was being swiftly borne away when her uncle, Arthur Knox of Hartford, saw her and Jumping into the water swan to her assistance. He succeeded in reaching her and grab blng her around the waist with one arm and started to swim ashore Ills efforts were futile, for the undertow was strong and he was unable to make any headway toward shore. He did the only thing sensible under the cir cumstances, and exerted al his ef- ioI1s 10 keep afioat and cry for help. All the time he and his burden were being carried further out into the Sound.
 His cries for help attracted the at tention of Latham who secured a rowboat and started for the rescue. The tide and waves were running high and the boat was buffeted about so that he was unable to contrdol it. high wave struck 1t a fierce side blow and the little craft was capsized and Latham hurled overheard.
 By this time the danger of the three struggling in the water had become known to Brown and Bidwell. They launched boat and put off. It took their combined efforts to keep the boat moving against the wind and tide and prevent 1t from being cap sized. and their labors were finally re- warded by reaching the persons struggling In the water
 The little girl, Knox and Latham were lifted over thA sides of the res cue boat and taken to the shore. The entire party was badly exhausted when shore was reached Immediate attention was given to the girl and men who had been rescued and they were soon out of dangesr. None of the three are any-the worse for the ezpe- rience, although 1t was a narrowing one while it lasted

BRESNAHAN'S HABIT
 OF FlNING PLAYERS.
Reds Leader Slaps on Limit fer
 Minor Offences.

Roger Bresnahan," says Tom Clarke, second catcher of the Reds, is the 'ining kid He punishes any of his men who offend him by skipping on fine. and his idea of a fnabe otfense is something original and won derful. Anything you do according to your own lights, according to Roger, is dead wrong and should be punished by fine and anything you do accord ing to his ideas, if it doesn't go through successfully, has been done in bone head fashion and must be punished by financial sting. I have even heard that Rogei figuring that bUnt was the proper play, was, nevertheless, tempted by a ball over the middle and took a crack at 1t. A double play resulted and Roger fined himself for dlsobeying his own orders.
 Some of RogeriA fines were really wonders. Some ti he ago sturdy catcher named Murphy joined the St Louis team-a fellow who had had brief trials with both the Cincinnati Reds and the St. Louis Browns. Mur- phy was taken on only because both Bresnahan and Bliss were crippled and wasn't actually expected to do any work It happened the day Murphy came into camp some slight accident befel Wingo, the third catcher of the team, and Murphy had tC rush into the chest protector and the glove.
 A man was roasting on first base AS soon as the new catcher had as- sumed his robes of office the runner broke away Murphy didn't come near getting him and the stolen bakas ulti- mately blossomed into a run. When the thing was over Bresnahan ad- dressed Murphy sternly. " 'MUrnhV' Said ba Gzo,, a~o 6-a5 SPA Ou -i-i'0
 Fined SPA cried Murphy. What
 Because explained Roger, you were not in position to make a throw when that man stole
 And the catcher never lived who could stay out of the harness for weeks, go right into a game, and, on the first ball pitched, get himself into proper pose to make a decent throw.
 The richest one of all, though, came off when the Reds and Cardinals were playing a desperate, extra inning game. Wingo, the red-headed young ster who had been catching for St. Louis, came up at the finish. with two down and the bases full of eager run ners. Ere long the call was two and three fourth base would force in the tying run. The ball came along way wide and head high-almost a wild pitch-and Wingo swung at 1t, missing it a mile. The game was over.
 'Bresnahan burst into the dressing room like a mad aman. 'Wingo.' he believed, you are f1ned-you are fined -ah-ah-you are fined S100,000.'
 Young Wingo stood up, flaming With protest and defiance. MT. Bres- nahan, cried he, at my present sal. ary it will take me nearly 30 years to pay that fine, and if you think that am going to work 50 years for this club for nothing you are mistaken. won't stand for 1t; I'll quit baseball right here and I'll go back to South Carolina for the balance of my dAysl'
 And when the big laugh was ever.

COMPLETING BIG PROGRAMME
 FOR WATERWAYS CONVENTION
NeYS London Will Have Many Pron- nent Men There in Two More Weeks.

With but two weeks remaining be- fore the fifth annual convention of the Atlantic Deeper Waterways associa- tion, to be held at New London, Sep tember 4, and s. every effort is be- ing made to complete the programme within the next day or so. While there are a few speakers to be heard from, the list at the present writing includes many prominent men, among whom are President Taft, several gov- ernors, congressman, mayors, promi nent engineers and business men along the Atlantic seaboard states In all probability Charles Nagel secretary of commerce and labor, will represent the presidents cabinet at the convention.
 Among the more recent additions to the speakers list are Howard D. Had ley of Plattsburg, N. Y, and Capt. w. V. E, Jacobs, superintendent of the school of instruction for the revenue cutter service at New London. MT. Hadley will talk on "Canada's connec- tions with the Atlantic intracoastal canal project while Captain Jacobs will speak on The revenue cutter ser vice as it applies to coastwise trade and inside waterways"
 It is pointed out by those interested in waterway improvements, that Can ada has vital interest in the intra- coastal canal project, since the com pletion of the Lake Champlain-H Hud- son river valley branch of the New York state barge canal two years hence, will form direct connections by canal between New York and other Atlantic coast ports and such cities as Montreal and Quebec, Canada Again, a large firm that has interested itself in the waterway movement for years, declares that with the comple- tion of this branch they will ship an nually one million tons of ore from Canada over this waterway to New York where 1t will have to be reship- ped by rail to points along the Allan tic coast, unless the projected intra- coastal project is finally completed.
