WILSON RETAINS HIS
INTEREST IN RACE

Washington, D. c., Aug. 2o.-Not
even the tense situation In Mexico
avails to dull President Wilson's keen
interest In the tense situation In the
baseball struggle It developed today.
After spending busy day over the
Mexican situation, the president last
night suddenly realized he had not
learned the scores especially the re-
suit Of the Washington-C Cleveland
game.
Let us go and find OUT he is re-
ported to have said to his physician,
DR.. Garry Grayson at the same time
reaching for his hat. The two left the
white house and strolled down Penn
sylvania avenue closely followed by
two secret service men. The presi-
dent led the way at swinging gait to
the scoreboard in front Of mornip,
newspaper office and studied the bye
ball results democratically with a
group Of other baseball enthusiasts.
When he discovered that Washington
had defeated Cleveland after a ten
inning struggle, he smiled his satisfac-
ton and spoke in an inaudible tone to
DR.. Grayson.
The little group then strolled- back
in the direction of the white house
The president wore his famous white
linen suit and jauntily swung cane.

IOWA CIT YMAN'S
WATCH 200 YEARS OLD

Iowa City, Aug 20.-What is perhaps
the oldest watch in Iowa City and per-
haps in the state Is the one which Geo.
O'Brien the jeweler, is showing in his
window. 1t is an old silver cased watch
which was made by Warner in Dub
lin in the year 1908. This would make
this watch just 205 years old.
A couple of years ago this old chron-
ometer was picked up in a Chicago
pawn shop by a young man here and
he afterwards sold it to Mr.. O'Brien
Instead OF big main spring 1t has
what resembles a miniature bicycle
chain which revolves around drum.
The stem is about one inch long.
