THE Miracle Man" they call him.
Whether he wins the pennant or
not-the achievement Of bringing his
team from last to second place in
two months, and speeding them at q
500 pace. is honor enough.
Oddly, the management of the
Braves are the only ones not surpris-
ed at the remarkamle showing Of the
boys from Beantown.
President Gaffney remarked at the
start of the season:
Il have the best manager in base
ball in Stallings, and you mark my
words, we will be up there on top
before the season is over"
Even Stallings himself made a
prophecy. while in last place, that
Boston would lead the league before
Sept. i.
And it Is not at all impossible that
this will be accomplished. Stallings
has almost repeated at Boston his
career while manager of the Yankees.
In 1909 Stallings took hold of the New
York club which had finished a sad
and miserable last. and at the finish
of the following season he had them
with their heads up in second place.
After accomplishing this wonder he
was fired!

In 1913 he entered the big show
again as manager of another tailend-
er that was even worse than the
Yankees were in 1909. Now he has

and Griffith in their famous ascen-
sions from the bottom to the top.
The success of the Boston Brave
boys is due entirely to the managerial
ability of Stallings, particularly shown
in the way he handled his pitchers and
the spirit inspired. Dick Rudolph was
cast aside several times by big league
teams. including the Giants, before
Stallings was able to secure him. Now
he Is recognized as one of the best
pitchers in baseball and is leading his
fellow fingers of both leagues in the
number Of shutouts.
Rudolph and James, another STALL
ings product, have been doing her
culean work and deserve great credit.
But the great secret of his success
Is that we'll known quality that is so
commonly the reason for any success
spirit! Stalling's desire to be up
and winning is so keen and contagious
that every player under him soon
feels the same way.
And SO do the fans.

This being the year for Uncle Sam
to get his. ,sportorially speaking, it
was quite natural that the Antipo-
deans-meaning a duo of Australian
tennis sharks-should hop upon his
lads and swipe from them the Davis
cup. "emblematic Of the world s
championship" as they have it in tho
no relation to the seconds and
thirds Of European blue blood fame
and Maurice Mclaughlin. the sandy
haired performer from the wilds of
Cal. were unable to keep the silver
bowl.
We said it was, quite natural that
the Australasians grabbed the cup,
and right here we reiterate. The
American representatives were pitted
against two of the greatest players
the tennis world has known. A. F.
Wilding is generally recognized as the
greatest exponent of the racquet
pastime. and Norman Brookes, who
finally cinched the honor by defeat
ing williamsburg pardon. the Sec
ond-is one of the most wonderful
wielders Of the cat-gut bat 1t was
case Of American youth and dash
against Australian age and expert
ence. and the latter won.
But it was no fault of Red: Nc
Loughlins that the cup chases back
across the waters. Mac writ some
new tents history. and it will not be
obliterated for some years. He met
and defeated both Brookes and Wild
Ing. With the former he established
new worlds record for matches
when ne won a 1915 set. His victory
over Wilding probably meant more to
him than the other, though, for
Wilding has long been recognized as
the greatest tennis performer in the
world.
This makes the fifth time in the
history of the Davis cup that it goes
to Australia. England has won it
five times. and it has been in this
country thrice.
Old Man War sure is exacting his
toll. The International sport program
has been devastated, and the invest
ment Of all athletic harbors is COM
plete: The International yacht race,
which promised to be a merry, little
affair. has been definitely called off,
and Sir Thomas Upton will have to
return to the sport of making money
for. no matter how much they fight,
the English still must have their tea,
But the yacht competition is not
the only sport effected. There is a
possibility of indefinitely postponing
the Olympic games, which are sched-
uled for Berlin in 1916. There are
several other international sport
events scheduled for this year and
next that undoubtedly will not be held
Unless these Fargo sport fingers
lay off Mr. Michael Cantillon, he'll
just naturally have to throw up the
sponge and haul himself into oblivion.
The only alternative ,fis to do what
they say.

Cecil Coombs, young outfield re-
cruit, is being very favorably regarded
by Chicago White Sox fans. His be-
havior thus far in the field and at bat
has convinced one and all that he has
lots of stuff and will develop into a
regular performer. Jimmy Callahan
has spoken ,glowingly Of Coombs'
chances and declares that he is one Of
the finds Of several seasons. >.

Death Of Judge E. l.. Bullock

The ending of the useful life of
Ext Chancellor Earnest L. Bullock oc-
Cured Saturday night at Newport,
East Tennessee, where he had gone a
week before from Tate Springs. His
life had been despaired of for several
days. He was GA years old; never
married; leaves a nephew, State
Treasurer R. R. Sneed. and the lat
ter's mother who lives in Oklahoma.
His remains were brought to Jackson
and there inferred. He was a son of
Judge Macajah Bullock, noted law
yer Of Jackson, whom the old citizeLs
we'll remember. Mr.. Bullock was
well known to most Of our people, and
was a most genial gentleman. His
reputation as great lawyer was
known all over the state. AS the
legal adviser and manager of the
enactment of the present prohibition
laws he stands prominent. He re-
signed as chancellor of this Division
last December. j. w. Ross was APP
pointed to fill the vacancy until the
election of last week, when he was
elected to the full term.

Death of Mrs. Woodrow Wilson

In 1892 Mrs. Benjamin Harrison
died as the first lady Of the land in
the White House. So Mrs. Woodrow
Wilson passed. away Friday. A gen
eral breakdown of nerves brought on
Brights disease, which is an incura-
BILE malady, ending the career of a
most notable and noble American
woman. Her life had been given to
her domestic duties and the uplift Of
the unfortunates. She was laid to
rest Tuesday at Rome, Ga, the place
of her young womanhood, and where
lie the remains of her father and
mother. The sympathy of the entire
nation goes out to her burdened hus-
band and devoted daughters. The
nation mourns. Such sad dispersal
tions make all people akin.

Infection and Insect Bites DANGEROUS

Mosquitoes, flies and other insects,
which breed quickly in garbage pals,
ponds Of stagnant water, barns, mus
ty places, ETC., are carriers of disease.
Every time they bite you, they inject
poison into your system from which
some dread disease may result. Get
a bottle of Sloan's Liniment. 1t is
antiseptic and few drops will neu-
tralize the infection caused by insect
bites or rusty nails. Sloan's Liniment
disinfects Cuts, Bruises and Sores.
You can not afford to be without it in
your home. Money back if not sat-
isfed. Only 25c at your druggist.

Letter From Washington

Washington, D. c., Aug. IA
Editor Independent:
Since ! wrote you last, the greatest
war in all history has broken out in
Europe. and now history is being
made every minute. By the time
these lines are read the scene may
have changed entirely, but it now
looks like Germany was going to hs
put into the background. That great
nation, so long the leader in ciyliza-
ton generally about twenty years
head of the rest of the world in edu-
cation, may. through the foolhardi-
ness of her rulers, be cut down to
third or fourth place among the great
powers. The blame for starting the
trouble is now laid on the crown
prince, whose warlike tastes have long
been known, and it is said that the
kaiser was SO incensed at his eldest

may be shown growing and fruiting.
The Brazilian Ambassador has laid the
matter before his home government,
and Mr.. Bryan has been called upon
to invite the Brazilian government to
put up the building here, on land
owned by our government. But Mr..
Bryan has his hands so full of other
business that he can hardly give this
attention now. The United States is
strictly hands off" in this big fuss,
unless we are attacked, in which case
we can give good account of our
selves. Our merchant marine is likely
TO be built up now. in
War now is an indescribably awful
thing. Submarines are burrowing
along under the sea, blowing up war
ships from beneath; mines under the
water are doing the same thing; aero
planes are soaring mile high, dropping
nitro glycerine bombs on ships and
armies and forts or darting like ar
rows through dirigible balloons SO that
all perish together, falling in flaming
fragments like lightning from the blue;
silent flashes of wireless currents are
bearing messages from other aero
planes high above, where aeral scouts
are watching the enemy and telling the
artillerymen how to aim; or the mys-
ferrous current, directed toward war;
ship far out at sea, may, through the
invention of the Italian Ulivi, set up a
spark in the magazine that will blow
up that ship and send it to the bottom.
and the mind of man will find new and
more terrible means of venting his
wrath upon his fellow man before the
war is over. Verify this is the Ar
mageddon predicted of old, but out of
it may come a glorious new freedom
and guarantee of a millennium of
peace.
While the smoke of the European
conflict hangs like pail even over
here, and thousands of widows and
orphans are mourning for the loved
ones that shall never return, great
sorrow spreads its black wings
over our own White House, and The
head of our nation is bowed in grief
at the deathbed of his beloved wife.
His burdens of state and his new af-
Fiction are almost greater than he

ful woman, true daughter of the
