RAIN AND HAIL DOES
MUCH DAMAGE.

On last Sunday evening and
night one Of the heaviest rains
fell here that was ever known
total in this country, covering
the territory from Boaz to
Clovis. Great streams of water
were flowing everywhere, TAX

railroad track etc.
In some neighborhoods the
rain was accompanied by the
worst hail storm that was ever
known here, doing, much dam

said to remain on the ground

Makes an Appeal
fot. Juvenile Court

An appeal for the passage by the
New Mexico legislature, at its ear.
liest opportunity, of juvenile court
law was made yesterday afternoon by
pr. A. S. Orne in an address at the
Browne theater. DR.. Orne asserts
himself to be the father of the juve-
nile court movement, and he undoubt-
edly is a great lover Of children and
desirous of assisting In the work Of
bringing them up to be of value to
society. He believes the treatment of
juvenile offenders in the ordinary
courts is likely to cause the youngsters
to become hardened criminals, while
a juvenile court is able to save them
and make them valuable citizens.
At the meeting, whish was we'll at
tended, the audience voted to instruct
the senators from San Miguel county
to work for the establishment of the
juvenile court in New Mexico.
DR.. Orne's speech, in part, is as fol-
lows:
%The trouble with the American
people today is they magnify the dirty,
defeated, devils, dopes and doings,
and are being driven to sin, sickness
and sorrow; hell here and hell here
after, and minify the conquering
Christ, who leads by love heaven
high, hell-deep, humanity-broad, who
soever will, eternity long; God loves
you still; to holiness, health, happi-
ness, heaven, here and hereafter.
Again, the American people have
made the fool and fatal mistake Lot
did; moving to town, booming, boost
ing and building big cities, and edu--
eating their children with view of
cnly getting a profession to gain a po-
sitlon and grab possessions without
work. Hence, American parents have
become so sinful. sickly and sentiment

styles of billiards and three distinct
matches will be played The first of
these. consisting of 5000 points, will
be decided in New York, followed by
another, under similar conditions. in
Chicago and later on a third match OF
10000 points will be played during a
tour of the leading cities in Canada.
Each match will be for 81, 900 side
and winning and losing share of the
gate receipts. The rules governing
the American games will be 1872 inch

the spot" and anchor" shots will
be barred in all the contests on the
big English table. The New York
series will be begin September 2S
and conclude October 3, and the Chi
cago dates are from october 12 to II
inclusive. The Canadian dates and
places Of meeting VIII be arranged
later on.
Both men have been practicing for
some months, each or course paying
great deal of attention to his op-
ponents style of game, and the
matches should afford billiard lovers
splendid opportunities for interesting
comparisons. Twenty-one years ago,
May 20 to June 2, 1893, the late Frank
c. Ives, the Michigan cue wonder.
who was known as the Napoleon of
French and American billiards. play
ed a series of three matches with
John Roberts, Jr., the English billiard
champion, the first in London, the
other two in Chicago ana New York,
at the English style exclusively.
Ives won the London match 5000 to
1921. mainly through the anchor"
shot with two object balls "choked"
in the mouth of corner pocket. This
was a trick which Ives had learned
from his tutor of the American game,
the late Jake Schaefer of Chicago,
and having once secured this posi-
ton Ives could have continued to
click off caroms interminably. The
English champion was prevented, un-
der the conditions of the match, from
playing the spot" stroke more than
once, because he could keep counting
from that position almost as continu-
ously as Ives did with the "ancso-
nurse"
AT Chicago, the following septem-
ber, Ives defeated Roberts again, by
a score of 5000 to 5,5oS under similar
but two weeks later they
met in New York in a match of TO-
600 points up, with the "spot" and
anchor" barred, and under these

changed conditions Roberts won after
5 a most interesting weeks play by
, 10000 to S,73S. During this match
t Ives surprised Roberts and all the
other experts at his deftness and the
rail" nurse in which by diligent prac-
tice he had mastered the art of turn
ing corners and passing the side
pockets without pocketing a ball. In
one game with Roberts far in the lead
Ives made three runs of 651, SIS and
1896, a total of 1851 points at this
style Of play and the following day
made another run of $50. On the final
day of the match, although Roberts
was 1901 points in the lead, the Eng
lish champion declared that he did
not feel that he had a safe margin as
Ives was likely to run out the game
with his wonderful rail- work. but
Ives was unable to secure his favorIte
position that day and Roberts won
handily.
The conditions of the coming series
are unique as each man will have the
opportunity of pulling up at his own
style should his opponents home
game become too strong and if Hoppe
can develop the rail- nurse to any
degree of efficiency his well known
ability at balk line play should give
him a splendid chance of winning the
larger share of the money prizes.

DOS7ON'S RECORD

CAME FROM LAST PLACE UP TO

IN SHORT TIME

New York, Sept. THE remark
able squirt of the Boston National
league club which carried it from last
place to tie for first position in a
little more than month established
new record in major league base
ball While the Braves never seri-
ously threatened the record of the
continuous victories they won strings
of games ranging from four to seven
straight with seldom more than one
defeat breaking the sequence and as
result the climb from the National
league cellar to tie with the New
York Giants for first place on August
"a was extremely sensational.
of the rush that was designated to
carry them from the bottom to the
top of the league in less than six
weeks. On Monday, July 6, the club
was in the last place. having won 26
games and lost 40 for a percentage of
1894. Philadelphia herd seventh place
with .467. On that date the Braves
storted a run of four victories and
continued with few defeats until Au-
gust "a. During this pperiod Boston
met every other club in the league
except Philadelphia, winning 30
games, losing eight and tieing one.
While playing at this .SO5 clip the
Braves scored 164 runs, 335 hits,
made 54 errors and had 2S5 runners
stranded on the bases. The averages
} show that 1 2-7 errors were made per
: game and one run scored for every
two hits. The best run of victories
was made between July 27 and Au
gust 6. when nine games in row
, were won from Chicago, st, Louis
and Pittsburgh. 1t is also a peculial
coincident that these same clubs aidet
by Cincinnati accounted for the eigh
games lost by the Braves, during tn,
