BASKETBALL NOTES.

Those Cony girls are going fine.
''Pus'' Soule is the coach. Kinder looks
a bit like ''Pus" missed his calling
when he chose teaching as his line Of
work.
How does Charlie Daicey look to
the average in the center position
along with the rest of the Senator
makeup? City hall is to be Gagged in,
probably before the next game. Stu
art and Stilphen forwards, with Gren-
Ter and Cooper backs, looks pretty
good.
The next local game of basketball
for the Senator's will be with the New
Hampshire State College team at City
hall. The New Hampshire team is a
fast aggregation and the game prom
ises to be fast one The exact date
for the game has not been definitely
decided but probably it will be
Wednesday, Jan. 2S.
Fort Mckinley came out on the
short end of a II to l. score in it's
game Saturday night at Portland with
the Portland Independents. Father
Anderson, SO the paper says, figured
Pickett was there also He was some
where in the game that the Independ-
ents played with the Senators in this
city short time ago.
The East Boston Professionals bas-
ketball team seems TO be doing things
to the teams in Maine. The Was

to defeat by some-played like a

Massachusetts team. And then, too. the
Haverhill game must not be forgot
ten. Springvale. the ex-Sanford quin-
tet, who have the reputation of dom
ming the nlits if victory cannot be
obtained in any other manner, looked
the same to the "Profs' as they fail
ed to score a single point while the
'Bean Eaters rolled up eight. What
does this suggest to those familiar
with the game?
The Wassitts seem to be having
hard luck. Some of their star players
are on the injured list. First it was
Solomon who was injured. "Soly" is
clean man and it is a safe bet that
he was not, purposely get TO by his
opponent. 10 ai1o iepoi' Su ei'. az

has been filing his shoes, proved to
be a fast one. Beals is the second to
take the count. If he would cut out j
little of his. rough stuff and play the
game, instead of employing methods
used by one other of his teammates
he would not accidentally-be placed
on the injured list. "Stubby' Thayer
whom all admire for his nerve. was
obliged to put a substitute team or
the floor against East Boston. His
team lost, much to the joy of the Au-
burn rocters.

BASEBALL NOTES.

President August Hermann of the
Cincinnati National Club announced
Saturday that John Dodge, who played
third base for the local team last sea-
son, has been released to the Louis
Vile Club of the American Associa-
ton.
A. j. Dolan, third baseman of the

PC. Brown, Son-in-Law Of
PattangaII, Shoots Self.
Was Talking with Father-In,
Law and Friend Just Before.
Asked TO Be Excused.-Stepped into
Next Room, Committed Act.

Houlton, Me-, Jan. 11.-Begging MS
father-in-law and a friend with whoni
ne was sitting in his office here Sat
urdav afternoon to excuse him mo-
ment, County Attorney Perley Z
Brown of Aroostook county stepped
into the next room and committed sui
eide bv shooting himself with his
hunting rifle.
He had hardly closed the door be-
hind him when the shot was hearo.
Mayor William r. Pattangall of Wat
erville, whose daughter Brown mar
ried. and Judge George E. Smith, VINO
had been chatting and joking with
him. rushed into the room.
They found Brown stretched on the
floor with the top of his head literally
blown off by the soft nosed big game
bullet.
The rifle was still clutched in his
hand. Just how he managed to use
the weapon on himself is a mystery,
but both the witnesses of the tragedy
saw there can be no doubt that Brown
had deliberately planned the deed.
They can assign no motive whatever
for Browns act He was in the best
of health and had no financial or 9TH
er troubles SO far as his family know.
Browns home is in Preque Isle. He
had come here as prosecuting officer
for the January term of court. Moth
ing in his behavior gave any indica-
ton that he contemplated taking his
life. He had been trying a case today,
and after leaving court, walked down
to his office with his two friends.
They talked and smoked for a few
minutes and then Brown asked the
others to excuse him a minute, step
ped into the back room where he kept
his personal belongings and shut the
door.
He must have picked up his rifle
and fired instantly, for the report fol-
lowed only a few seconds after he had
disappeared.
Brown was 35 years old and through
his own activity and his connections,
had been prominent in Aroostook
county politics for several years.
His most noted case as county at
torney was the prosecution of the
Rev. Charles n. Emelius in the Jacob
son murder case.
The trial of a minister for murder
attracted nationwide attention. The
Rev. Mr.. Emelius was acquitted.

Sporting NezVs Of the Day

Wood clinch? He doesn't know how.
Ayers left landed frequently but II
didn't count for much. When WOODS
left landed, as 1t did some dozen times,
1t meant something. AS evidence: IN
the eighth round of the IL when IL
connected with Ayers lower jaw,
dropping the Cambridge boy cleanly
to his hands and knees.
But in the next to the last round,
occurred the punch, unnoticed by
nearly every spectator, which almost
stopped the fight, Alger was plainly
in distress and chung f1ercely to his
man. 1t was a terrific right squarely
over the heart, and the little boxer
safety was not worth much for several
seconds.
So much for the contest and Its re-
porting, with the sporting writer
kindly disposition kicked for the mo-
ment into the discard. Boxing rules
have not yet reached that stage when
clever clinching and wallops- which
homeland win bouts.

Rescue Home a Fraud.

Frank w. Savage of Bangor was
arraigned in the federal court in Port
land Saturday on an indictment charg-
ing that he had used the malls in
furtherance of a scheme to defraud
by collecting money for a pretended
Rescue Home for Girls" He offered
no defence and was placed on proba-
ton, with an admonition from Judge
Clarence Hall. The indictment alleged
that Savage represented in circular
letters there was in existence at II
Larkin street, Bangor, which is his
residence, State rescue home for
girls. The matter was presented to
the federal grand jury last month, at
the request of the State Board of
Charities. and the prosecution is in
line with similar steps which may he
taken against other alleged fake char
liable institutions

M prejudiced against the sociallstic

the EXchcquer, Lloyd George, which
bid fair to disrupt the Liberal party,
and to drive all tho more conservative
element thereof into tho Unionlst

Churchill, 1t must be admitted that the
young Duke OF Sutherland has como

counter with that strange Welsh
statesman who is now in charge of the
national finances of Great Britain.
1t may be remembered that when

of the great landowners in the United

The duke, who is now yachting with
his duchess in West Indian waters has
Just received reply from Lloyd
George. in which the latter points out
that he is unable TO accept his offer
on account of the exaggerated value
which he has placed on his lands. For
lie calls the attention OF tho duke to
the fact that OH the latter's accession
TO his fathers honors and estates last
year, the total acreage of the ducal

amounting 10 $4,000 acres, were valued

the admittedly least valuable smaller
half of his property in Sutherland for
100000 moro than the entire prop

Tho Chancellor of the Excheauer,
moreover, has intimated that since the
duke places so high a value as So
