YANKEES JAR SOX..
BEAT RUSSELL, 6-3
Three Walks and Wild
Throw Cause Downfall
of Texan.

New York, Sept. 19-The White Sox
foundered farther back into the sec
ond division yesterday by submitting
to a second straight defeat at the
hands of the reorganized Yankees. The
scrap took place on sodden field, re-
sulting from heavy rains during the
night, and the score was to g.
There was sadness and gladness in
the defeat. While it was due largely
TO the explosion of that popular idol,
Tex Russell. in the fourth inning, it
gave Manager Callahan a chance to
try out the renovated arm of Big Ed
Walsh, and the grand old arm re-
sponded to the test in a fashion high
ly encouraging to everybody concern
ed.
Russell's fall from the pinnacle on
to which he had pitched himself had
excuse. The quartet of runs which
New York scored in the fourth and
which won the game. could have been
prevented il Russell had pitched more
carefully to McHale instead of giving
him a base on balls, which not only
forced in another run. but opened the
door to the other three. Russell con-
tributed wild throw to the three
bases on balls. which caused his down
fall in that fatal fourth.

WELSH TO ASK BIG
DAMAGES OF RITCH|E
British Lightweight Will
Sue for Forfeit and
Title.

Vancouver. B. C.. Sept. l9-Freddie
Welsh, British lightweight, who was
matched to box Willie Ritchie for the
championship here tomorrow, is going
through with his end of the bargain
and will then rely the courts to
win him Ritchie's money.
Freddie said today he proposes to
shadow box himself into the world s
championship. Having disposed of his
imaginary opponent Welsh will set in
motion legal machinery to obtain dam
ages from Richie for several remun-
erative engagements Welsh declares he
has lost through waiting for the cham
pion.
This is the British boxers announc-
ed program for Saturday:
Weigh in at 1915 p. M, at 1876
pounds; hop through the ropes at the
arena an hour later. shadow fight an
ina ginary Ritchie; land an imaginary

With their backs to the wall, the

wonderful fight they made. First
Reid came in with ~. and went to
the top with his total of lat. A little
later Vardon's 72 was posted. and his
LAT went up beside Reid's. Then came
a long wait for Ray, one OF the last to
start and in the meantime one after

back instead of improving McDer-

SO it went on, wit hvardon and Reid
in the lead.
Things looked blue enough. but soon
word came In from the ninth that Ray
had gone out In IS and was getting
better. every report of his progress
thereafter showing that he was play
ing extraordinary golf. and when his
bulky figure finally came into sight on
the eighteenth tee 1t was learned that
he had for a 20. The crowd banked
deep around the home green, saw a
long drive followed by a. perfect ap-
proach that stopped not three feet
from the cup. 1t looked as though the
big Englishman was going to score a
90. but that triumph was denied him.
He was hot and tired as he played
the shot. He putted hurriedly and
missed. But there was glory enough
in any case. for he had pulled himself
from a point far back in the ruclk to
third place and only his fellow Eng
lishmen were ahead of him.

want to read the news from my old

half years since l left old Iowa
and came west to make my home,
and only one trip back home in that
length of time I have no desire to
go back east to make my home.
Idaho has "A nice climate, and ev-
erything looks green and nice There

The high waters are commencing

Breaks Record At GAINESVILLE Mine.

Notwithstanding this is the sea-
son of the year when coal shipments
should decrease, the output of the
mine here is on the increase steadily
and all records we're broken Friday
of last week. Not only were more
carloads shipped than any previous
week but also the hosting record
was broken.
On that day 651 tons were hoist
ed, and an average of 645 tons daily
were made for the four days worked.
During the week $3.50 tons or 81
cars were shipped out, which was
the record for any previous weeks
shipment About 1875 miners help
ed to make this record.
Preparations are being made to
greatly increase the output when the
fall and winter trade opens up, and
we expect to hear Of 500 or 1000
tons being handled daily by this time
next year.
The above sounds mighty good
when it is known that in the Iowa
fields an average of only two days a
week are being worked, and many Of
the mines are shut down entirely

carried by men in black bearing the
image OF Christ in portrayal OF the
various events of His life from the
time Of His birth to His Crucifixion
and ending with the removal of His
body from the cross. a
The thing that impressed me most
was the very apparent lack of ser
iOusness on the part of the people.
They all looked upon it as very much
of celebration and all laughed and
talked all through the ceremony
much as the people in the States are
accustomed to do at street carnivals.
Still one does not wonder at it so
much when he hears these people say
that cit is we'll the soldiers were at
hand" for opposition to the church
is growing so strong that public
demonstration is liable to occur at
any moment. 1t is wonderful the
number of ruined and deserted
churches and monasteries that are to
be found in any part of the country.
l can count no less than eight in
sight from the site of our dam here,
and only two in use. The oldest one
in this part of Spain, picture of
which / am inclosing, was built in
the eighth century, and when our
dam is finished it will lie hidden be-
meath three hundred feet of water.
To show the power of the priests, l
will state that they say that before
we can turn water into our dam we
must move this church from the bot
tom of canyon five hundred feet
deep and miles away from every
body, to the top of the mountain and
there reconstruct it. Imagine do
ing this to an old tumble down pile of
stone that has stood there for over
a thousand years, and has not seen
services for over five hundred years
OF course it is physically impossible
to do this and you may be sure it
will not be done either.
However you cannot expect much
from a people who will hold up
shipment of concentrating machin-
cry, thinking they are munitions of
war. They refused to allow a large
quantity of steel balls, used for
grinding cement, to pass the customs
until the army officials has been as
sured we were not going to start
revolution. l expect it will not be
long before l will have something
else of interest to write about, for
strange things happen often here.

To keep the home together,
Nobody knows of the steps it takes,
Nobody knows-but mother.
Nobody listens to childish woes,
Which kisses only smother;
Nobody's panied by naughty blows,
Nobody-only mother.
Nobody knows of the sleepless care
Bestowed on baby brother,
Nobody knows of the tender prayer,
Nobody-only mother.
Nobody knows Of the lessons taught
Of loving one another;
Nobody knows of the patience sought
Nobody-only mother.
Nobody knows of the anxious fears,
Lest darling may not weather
The storm of life in after years,
Nobody knoWs-but mother.
Nobody kneels at the throne above
To thank the heavenly father
For that sweetest gift-a mothers
love;
Nobody can-but mother.
