ATHLETICS SPLIT
A DOUBLE-HEADER
Red Sox Too Much for
Bush and BroWn-Work
of Collins a Feature.

Philadelphia, June 29.-Boston broke
even with Philadelphia in a double
header here to-day, the former win
ming the first game by score of Z
to /. and the home team the second by
score of to 2.
The visitors hit the deliveries Of
Bush and Brown hard in the opening
game, while Leonard was effective.
Lewis had his hand hurt by pitched
ball while al bat and was forced to
leave the contest.
In the second game Philadelphia hit
the ball hard. and was aided by errors
by Gardner and Cady, while Plank had
his opponents at his mercy until the
ninth inning.
The fielding of Eddie Collins was es-
pecially good. his running stops and
catches and heady playing being feat
ures of both games, while he performed
feat seldom seen at Shibe Park IN
the closing contest by making home
run on hit inside the grounds.

Pitches Mastery Game for
Senators, Allowing
Only Four Hits.
FOSTER BRINGS JOE
IN WITH HOME RUN
Banishing of Chance in the
Third Turning Point of Hard
Fought Contest.

IBy Telegraph to The Tribune
Washington. June 29.-Every last
one of Joe Bookings friends, near
friends. relatives and close acquaint-
ances of a distant cousin by marriage
is happy tonight. Joe pitched the
Washington Senators 20 a | TO VIC
tory over the New York Yankees here
this afternoon.
The real underlying cause for the
jubintion is that Boehling's father,
genial proprietor OF popular hosiery,
Is accredited with Setting them up"
every time Joe wins. When Joe wins
shutout game he "sets EN- M
double"
But the heart Of Frank Chance is
black within him. He declares that if
his team can ever be rid Of Chill, the
umpire, il will rise to better things.
Chill, it would seem, has a depressing
effect on the summer pastime.
Frank Chance declared IN round
terms that the aforementioned Chill
was to blame for the loss of the after
noon. Not being a hypocrlte, he told
Chill 10 his face. Although small
man. the umpire was not in the least
afraid. He put the Peerless Leader
Of the unequalled Yankees out OF the
game.
The expulsion of Chance and victory
for the Senators came together. 1t
was the third inning, with Joe Boehl-
ing, son of the tavern keeper, on third
base. and Eddie Buzz" Foster bran
dishing bat out of all proportion to
his size. Little Jack WARRIOR served
up an underhand shoot. which Foster
fouled off. Leslie Nunsmaker went of
in pursuit of the sphere, and to all
outward 6 gyms made Z clean capture.
To the utter establishment OF the
crowd and the amazement of Nuna-
maker. Chill decided that the ball had
licked the screen first and that the
catch was not to be allowed At once
Frank Chance sprang 10 his feet. Once
a Cub, always bear, is his motto. He
delivered speech. He waXed elO-
cuent. lie INDUCED in figures. Then
Chill spoke. He INDUCED IN no fig
Ures He simply said: BEAT it 10 the
clubhouse" And Chance beat it.
After that distressing incident had
PASSED WARRIOR served another under
hand shoot. This time Foster swung.
and he met the ball fair on the nose.
IL fell in safe territory, good for two
bases, and Boehling scored the enc run
of the game.
Poehling pitched mastery game
throughout. lie allowed only four hits,
and kept them separated by fair dis
tances. lie was backed by perfect
support and played clever fielding
game himself. He had no fewer than
six assists Warhop. too, pitched we'll,
bu. had bad break in that third i'll
ming.

INDIANS BOW UNDER
ASHOWER OF RUNS
Rochester Scores Sixteen.
While Newark Is Lucky
to Get One.

The Indians were we'll drubbed at
Newark yesterday afternoon, going
down before Rochester by the score
Of 10 to /.
1t was the worst trouncing that they
have received this season. They could
no. solve the pitching of Bobby Keefe
while the Hustlers batted the bail all
over the lot, taking to Curtiss offer
irgs as we'll as to those of the veteran
George Bell. who preceded him.
The Hustlers began proceedings with
quartet OF runs in the opening chap
ter, and on two other occasions scored
IN patches of four. They played very
good ball. too, until the last inning.
when they INDUCED in a little horse
play, which gave Newark its lone tally.
This work on the part of the Husters
was not relished by Keefe. who was
working for a shut-out. and he felt
niffed.

Chief Meyers was saved from a stupid
play In the fifth inning OF the first
game between the Giants and the SUI
perbas yesterday when O'Mara went
step beyond him in slow thinking.
The Brooklyn shortstop was on third
base when Cutshaw hit u grounder TO
Fletcher. The Giant had an easy
chance TO retire the runner for the
third Out. but threw little wide TO
MerlSle. aud Cutshaw was called safe.
as Fred had 60 take his foot on the
bag.
O'Mara. however. thought an out had
been made nj first. and 50 did Meyers.
Meykle threw the ball 60 the catcher.
but the Indian made no attempt TO
get O'Mara as the Brooklyn player
slowly walked TO the plate. When only
foot from the platter O'Mara came
TO dead stop. and Meyers. aroused
at length from his lethargy. reached
out and touched him.

Tower to Visit Us

In the course of private cores
pondence it was learned lately that
Charlemagne Tower of Philadel-
phia contemplates visit to Duluth
and the iron ranges. 1t has been
suggested that the public affairs
committee of the Duluth CONNER
cial Club should be the source from
which invitation to the distinguish
ed diplomat, and pioneer of iron
mine development and transporta-
tion in Minnesota, to visit this city
should issue.
Numerous prominent Duluthians
have been considering the matter
They realize that the prospective
visit of Mr.. Tower is one of un-
common interest and Importance in
many respects. 1t was the Tower
millions which financed the first
iron mine, and the first iron ore
road in Minnesota. Mr.. Tower
was the president of that road, the
Duluth & Iron Range, and the in
terest which attaches to the visit of
this man to Northeastern Mime

GRAND SUCCESS
Glass Play Best Ever Given by the
Ely High School

The Tanning of the Shrew" the
class play of the class of IA given
at the High School Auditorium
Friday evening was attended by a
capacity house and all were loud in
their praises of the excellency of
the production. 1t was conceded
that. while several good plays were
presented in the past, one last
Friday was by far tht best ever
given by any class II the Ely
schools.
The play in itself is a pleasing
production and with the leading
roles IN such capable hands as those
that presented it last Friday coup
led with the handsome costumes
and the pleasing audience, proved
to be most entertaining.
We will not attempt to give the
production in detail. Flu Rautio
as Petruchio and Miss Gerda Lind
DCl do tuS S0ulCW dllo w Ill l<dCSN
as Christopher Sly, were the lead
ing characters and also the leaders
among the cast of embyro thespians.
This is not saying however that
the others were not worthy of men
tion. All did their parts without
a hitch and the rather difficult play
was presented with only slightly
amateurish effect:
Those who participated were:
Clifford Miller, Stuart Schaefer,
Will Lacey, Mabel Prisk, Frank
Gianotti, Edwin Toms, Eddie Han
son. Matt Maxi, Sam Rosenbloom
Uno Aijala, John Merhar, Flu
Rautio. Will Rautio, William
Nichols, Jerry Harri, Gerda Lind
berg, Ellen Nelson, Helia Koski,
Irene Simonson, August Hiipakka
and others.
The Lacrosse Orchestra of Du-
1uth furnished the music between
the acts and contributed their
share to the success of the perfor-
nance.

The BaTab0O Ore Field

A few years ago it was thought
that the Baraboo, Wisconsin, iron
ore district would prove of great
value. Diamond drill operations
had revealed a considerable ton
mage, and it was estimated that
when the shafts were sunk and
levels extended that this would be
increased to a great extent. Sew
eral companies were formed to
operate in that field, but today
there is not one doing a tap. The
district proved disappointing be-
cause the ore was much mixed and
there was too much water to han
die to mine the deposits profitably.
The Steel corporation, through
its mining subsidiary, the Oliver
Iron Mining company, has just
finished its tests of that ore field.
1t operated mine at North Free
dom, about nine miles from the
town of Baraboo. There were

SCHOOLS ARE IT
Commencement and Graduation
Exercises at all the Schools

In other places in this paper we
give the programs and list of grad
uates of the several schools in this
vicinity who will perform next
week. The coming week promises
to be one long to be remembered
by the pupils. Some leave the Ely
school to make their way in the
world or attend other and higher
institutions of learning while others
graduate from the grades into the
High School.
The week coming will befraught
with interest to the younger gen.
Grafton and their enthusiasm will
become contagious among the par
ents and admiring friends. The
High School class numbers 29-the
largest in the history of the school.
Fifty will leave the grades to enter
the High School.
Winton graduates, eight; White
Iron, six; Section Thirty in Lake
County has a class roll of seven.

Interesting Figures

We have just received from In
surance Commissioner Preuss a
pamphlet showing the insurance
business of the state up to the end
of 1913 for the past FL years.
The figures are very interesting
and go to show that the premiums
paid i'll Minnesota exceed the
losses by fabulous amount.
The record of each city in the
state is given and in Ely we find
that in 1913 the premiums paid
amounted to $I8,565.73 while the
losses sustained were nearly that
amount, the same being SIG, ,o52. SO
and for which we account in the
destruction of the Miller store.
During the past FL years includ-
ing 1913. the amount of premiums
paid were 1926, ,847.71 and the
losses by fire were $44,4e2.O5.
