Nash and Kimball Fisher were play
ed off at the p. Y. Hill court Satur-

called upon to exert himself unless,
possibly, in the second set, when Fish

DARK SPOT BLURS
FACE OF THE SUN

Evidently the earth is not the only
member of the solar system which is in
a disturbed condition at the present
time, for the sun also shows the exist
ence of unusual activity. Photographs
of the sun taken at eight o'clock yes
terday morning by w Henry, a New
York photographer, show distinctly a
large dark spot on the surface The
unusual size of the spot is shown by
the fact that although the sun was not
shining brihtly at the time the photo
graphs were made, the spot was shown
distinctly.
The appearance of the spot on the
sun, which is visible with the use of
smoked glasses on a bright day, un-
doubtedly will be regarded as an i'll
omen by the uneducated classes in the
warning nations of Europe. A celes-
tial disturbance at any time is SO to
them a portent of dire possibilities,
but with war stalking through their
countries the fear occasioped by a
phenomenon of this kind knows no
bounds. In this country many per-
sons believe that the appearance of
sun spots is indicative of q long siege
of stormy weather, with remarkable
exhibitions of electricity in the atmos-
phere.
Professor G. E. Hale of Mount Will
son Observatory in California, recent
ly demonstrated by means of a spec
tro Photograph that sun spots proba-
bly, arise from worthless or whirling
storms, and that these worthless pro-
duce strong magnetic fields in the sun
spot. He regards the phenomenon as
somewhat analogous to tornado or
water spout on the earth. At the
centre of the storm the rapid rotation
produces an expansion which cools
the gases and causes the appearance
of comparatively dark cloud which
we see as the sun spot.
1t has been demonstrated clearly
many times that the spots have a di-
rect connection with various magnetic
and electrical phenomena on the
earth. When spots appear on the
magnetic disturbances and auroras
are numerous on the earth. 1t has
been found that the spots occur in
periods averaging about eleven years.
The duration of individual spots is
variable, some lasting but day or
two and others continuing for weeks
and months, sometimes being carried
out of view by the rotation of the sun
and brought into view again from the
| other side. The spot now on the face
of the sun may be more than forty
thousand miles broad

In the fourth German repeated the

have scored but hesitated too long at
second and as consequence only
reached third. With men on second

man could bring them in. Augustus
first and only tally came in the fifth.
Machee singled to right and advanced
on Appleton's sacrifice. Newbert was
passed and both advanced on Talbot's
passed ball. AS usual, Stinson came
across in the pinch with hit to
right, scoring MacGhee and putting
Newbert on third Stinson stole but
German famed Cooper and LaWry.
Gardiner made brace of tallies in
this inning. Lowney hit a wicked one
to third, Coady barely touching the
ball, which caromed off his glove out
side the foul line, Lowney making
two bags. On p. Cobb's attempted sac
rifice Smith threw over Harveys head
and Lowney scored and Cobb made
second. German famed and Duncan
flied out to MacGhee. r. Cobb put up
a high one which Newbert started af-
ter but let it drop safely, doubtless
thinking that Appleton would gather
it in. P. Cobb scored as a result.
A Comedy of Errors

through the medium of MaeFarlane's hit

ball Smith saw that apparently Lowney

TROLLEY LEAGUE STANDING

Gardiner, Me, Aug. Especial -
For the first time this season on the
home grounds, in a game featured by
good, bad and Indifferent playing,
Gardiner achieved victory over Au-
gusta. the league leaders. Saturday on
Quinby field by score of to 1.
The fielding game displayed by the
up-river men was similar to the brand
exhibited by Gardiner on the previous
game in Augusta. Bart Folsom es-
sayed to derive some consolation from
the fact that Gardiner did not earn
run. German was the man who put
the trig in Augustus steady march
pennantward. Several times he show
ed the puzzling assortment of which
he is possessed and pitched himself
out of a bad looking hole when it
seemed inevitable that the visitors
must score.
Many Strikeouts
Every one of the Senators was re-
tired at least once by the strikeout
route. In the third, fourth and ninth
not an Augusta man touched the ball,
being struck out in one, two, three
order German was accorded royal
support by his teammates. Stinson
pitched his usual good ball and de-
served better support than he was
given, especially IN the fifth and sixth.
Jack Lowney made the only miscue
for Gardiner but 1t did not figure in
the run getting and he amply re-
deemed himself later in the game by
pulling in two hard drives and throw
ing out the batters with but inches
TO spare.
Daley, who officiated as umpire,
gave universal satisfaction and not a
decision was questioned, even by the
rooters.
Lowney's batting and base running
were the main factors in Gardiner
attack. Nutting also got in some time
lly stick work MacFarlane made a
pretty throw in the first which cut
off the speedy Coady in his attempt
to score. Newbert contributed spec
tacular catch in the second, running
far out of his territory into left CEN
ter, on MacFarlane's hit.
The fifth and the sixth chapters tell
the story of Gardeners victory. Car
diners punched hits and the sequel
of wild pegs by Smith, acknowledged
to be the best catcher in the league,
contributed mainly to the victory.
Augusta Threatens
Augusta threatened to score at the
very beginning of the game, but
Coady, who had singled and stolen,
was nailed by MacFarlane's good
right arm, when he essayed to score
from second on Smiths wallop, for the
third out.
In the second Lowney's poor throw
Of MacGhee's grounder enabled the
latter to reach second, but after APP
pleton had famed Jack was right in
the path of Newbert's drive and Mac
Chez was doubled at second. For Gar
diner, with two down. Eastman got
over a double to center, but Lowney
could not advance him. In the third
German famed every batter that fac
ed him and Gardiner was retired with
easy infield outs.

NATIONAL LEAGUE RACE
Cincinnati Defeats the

OTHER GAMES

New York, Aug. 23.-Success has
finally crowned the remarkable strug-
gle of the Boston Braves to work TO
the top of the column in the National
League race, although Stallings' men
did not play today, the champion New
Yorks lost their third straight game
to Cincinnati. The Giants were but
half a game ahead and their defeat
pulled them down to tie with the
Braves for first place.
George Stallings has made baseball
history by his remarkable feat in
bringing the Braves from the bottom
of the list to the top. on July IS, only
a little more than a month ago, the
Bostons were in last place. The close
of he following week found the Braves
in fourth place and their rise during
late July and August was rapid. Ten
days ago they gave the Giants stun
ming blow by beating them three
straight on the champions home
grounds. McGraw's men have been
slipping steadily ever since while the
Bostons have been tearing along over,
the Western course in championship
style.
The week Just ended capped the
climax of Giant retrogression, the
leaders dropping two out of three
games in Pittsburgh and then two to
the Reds following this up by taking
a beating from Herzog's men in the
third game of the series Sunday. Bos-
ton kept on playing high-elass ball
during the week and lost only two
games in seven, one of them being an
extra-inning struggle with the Pr
rates. If the Giants, with their pitch
ing corps demoralized and in the
midst of a batting slump, do not take
a brace, they bid fair to be passed
not only by the Bostons but by either
ST. Louis or Chicago-perhaps by
both.
The American League race is still
an affair of Philadelphia worlds
champions. Boston has moved up
slightly but is still nearly 100 points
in the rear.
