ELks TO HAVE "eAzook" AGAIN

The famous comedy paper, THE
Elks Gazook," which was used last
year. will again have a publication,
to be spread over the streets early
next week, putting forward the merits
and dement's of the coming Elks'
minstrel gambol, which will be given
next Friday night at the Colonial
This is a clever bit of advertising,
and makes a big hit, as 1t is chuck
full of real comedy reading and many
local "weezes" are pulled on the local
Elks.
This years show promises to be a
winner, inasmuch as the cast will
have some forty Of the local antlered
herd who will run wild for one night

bales or more OF cotton than was pre-

more per pound for the cotton than
could be had anywhere else in the
State. The officials of the company
say that all of the cotton consumed

pennant. How far the little Napol-

real strength of his enemies is shown
by the fact that the Braves, a team

him, while the Pirates pulled in with
the Cincinnati Reds the only team

to the harmonious manner in which
the chief executive and members of

son would be better able than any
ether man to aid Imperial county in
its efforts to secure Federal aid.
He outlined his policies in the clean
cut manner that has characterized his
speeches throughout the state, asking
the people to support a man who stood
for what they needed most. In his
closing remarks Mr.. Phelan said:

STARTS NEXT YEARS
BASEBALL TALK
(By Hal Sheridan)

New York, Oct. 15.-This is the
open season for winning pennants.
! The next year" cry is upon US, and
any old team 1T all is at liberty 70
go as far as it likes toward coping
| the flag in the conversation race
which will be in progress during the
coming sessions of the Stove League.
The tustup and the awakening is
withheld until the grass is green
again and suitable alibis have been
framed.
The most convincing and sustained
''next year" talk was evident in the
vicinity of Boston during the winter
of 1913-14 But these Boston folks
made good. In 1912 the Braves had
finished last in the National League
scramble. Last year found them al
the head of the second division, and
with the acquisition of Johnny Evers
the "next year" talk became loud and
persistent. 1t looked like further
waste of conversation up to July, but
after that most everybody knows
more or less what happened. Now
Boston can see nothing else but an
other pennant in 1915 and consider
ing the unprecedented feat of the
Braves this year, and the general out
look among the other teams, argl-
ment at this stage of the game is
largely futile.
The Giants are expected to present
one Of the greatest changes in the
history of the team when they take
the field for the 1915 race. The next
year talk in New York is weak and
wavering for no one knows what to
expect. There is no doubt, however,
that Manager McGraw plans house
cleaning. His machine has fallen TO
pieces. The fourth pennant hoo
doo struck with full force upon the
| Giants just at time when it seemed
McGraw would ove5powcr the jinx.
The infield, catching department and
the cutfield are now sadly in need
of bolstering up. New blood is need
cd, and McGraw intends to reconstruct
his team, not upon the wreck of his'
present organization, but after weed
ing out those who have slipped back.
There is likely to be some lively trad,
ing this winter in which Giants who
have heretofore figured in the worlds
from Broadway. Burns, in the out
field, and Fletcher, at short, and Tes-
reau, in the box, are about the only
men who displayed anything like the
form McGraw must have. 1t was not
one of Matty's great years, but no
one is talking of trade involving
Big Six. As for the rest of the team,
however, no ones neck is any too
secure.
Next years pennant is not con-
ceded to Boston in st. Louis or Chi
cago, or even brooklyn, Tor Chat
matter. The rise of the Cardinals has
been all but as sensational as the
Braves. They didn't go as far as did
Stallings' men, but kept everlastingly
at it, and may be expected to give IL
good account of themselves next
year. The Cubs obviously were suf-
fering from internal troubles during
the past season. They have pitchers
and the power and under real leader
ship will be dangerous to any team.
Brooklyn staged an eleventh-hour
squirt that carried them to the top
of the second division. The Dodgers

Take To Small Boats and Start for Aggutti Island To Await Res

The crew of the wrecked cutter Tahoma have abandoned their yes. sel and are making for Aggutti Is- land, is the report received by the steamer Alameda last night The boat was in a dangerous position off Kiska reef 60 miles from Aggutti is, land and it was thought best to make for land at once.
 The s. s. Cordova was expected to reach the scene this morning but so far has sent no word of arrival and rescue of the officers and crew of the cutter, besides the officers and crew of the vessel wrecked on Semichi island, who had been picked up by the cutter the day previous to the wrecking of the government boat.
 The Senator, which had first an- swered the call for help, turned about and made for Nome when the Cordova, southbound, had reported her position nearer the wreck and she immediately started for the scene.

NJ SHOW FOR
 GERMAN SHIPS
British Will Not Allow Transfer To American Flag of Big Liners and
 Will Seize Them On Seas.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 25-The Brit ish ambassador today notified the State department that any German ships bought by Americans and fly ing the American flag would be seiz- ed by them and the owners would be forced to prove the ownership prior to the present war. The notice was emphatic and leaves no hope for the administration plan to push through it's purchase of the big German yes sels now in American waters and use them for the American merchant marine.
 It is understood, however, that in the case of German ships owned by Americans prior to the war, but fly ing the German flag, that the trans fer will be recognized as valid, but the owners must prove beyond any doubt the ownership is genuine. This applies to the boats owned by the Standard Oil Company and also the Steel Trust, which operated under the German flag because of adverse American laws.
