Four persons were instantly killed
and four others severely injured when
an automobile in which they were rid

western road.
The dead, who were all from Chicago

Have you ever gone down the chute?
What chute?
Why at Devils Lake.
This question used to be on the lips of
the kiddies and young men of Baraboo,
but lately young girls and even married
women have been unable to resist the
temptation of a thrilling slide and
plunge into the clear, cool water of the
lake.
Hundreds of people are daily indulg-
ing in the sport at the north end of
the park. Merchants and young
men employed in the city here are
taken to the place in auto trucks, auto
mobiles and carriages every evening
and if you haven't gone down the chute
you have missed something.
The movie show, candy shop, cole
swimmin' hole" or other hauuts of
young America, are not in it with the
raft and chute at Devils Lake.
But where did the chute come from?
The credit for all this fun belongs to
Lucius Prader. He originated the idea
a year ago last winter, footed the bills
for the raft and labored day and night
for weeks at time in constructing the
affair.
Mr.. Prader obtained permission from
the state forester to cut down and use
some of the dead trees from the bluffs
surrounding the lake. He then secured
permission to place the massive raft in
Devils Lake from the state park super
intendent
Aiding Mr.. Prader in the building of
the raft were Fay Staten, Laurie
WEIGH, Sam Neitzle, Martin Arndt, Ar
thur Kruger, Eugene Kiley, Roy
Lucht and William E. Rowland. The
young men commenced cutting down

the timber year ago last February
The large logs were sawed by hand and
with the help of number of Italian
laoorers carried down the rocky
passages to the water. The raft was
not completed until about the middle of
June, 1913.
Inc tower supporting the linoleum
chute was constructed by Mr.. Prader
and Mr.. Kruger here and hauled to
Devils lake. The tower is twenty feet
high and the chute slopes at an incline
of about forty-five degrees to the
water. Extending down the center of
the raft are five trapezes which also
furnish healthful recreation for bathers
Besides the massive raft and chute a
canvas floater, fourteen feet square,
has been placed in the lake. The money
to purchase canvas and cork was con-.
tributed by fifty Baraboo young men.
The chute and the fioater are not in
deep water and are open to the enjoy
ment of everyone free of charge. Lets
go!

CAN'T SEE ANY CLUB BUT
GIANTS TO GRAB REMNANT
New York Champions Are Strong in 1913,
While Opposition Is Much
Weaker.

NEW YORK. June 20. Tho Giants
won the National League pennant last
year by the comfortable margin Of 81
twelve and one-half games separting
them from the Philnes when the finish
line was crossed. They clinched the
championship September o. when. al
though they were beaten by the Dodg-
ers. the Boston Braves extinguished any
lingering hope the Phillies were clingtne
to. by beating the Quakers.
And yet at this time a year ago the
Giants with a club equally as strong as
this years. II not q shade stronger, were
just beginning to rehabilitate themselves.
They had climbed as high as second place
after having been thrown as far down as
fifth place In the campaign of early May.
The Phillies were bounding along with
Alexander and seaton pitching defeats
into rivals and Cravath, Luderus, Knabe,
Doolan ct al. batting victory into their
own columns. Brooklyn had Just relin-
quished an impressive bid for first place
and rebounded into third position. That
was the beginning of the downward slide
for the Dodgers.
The strength Of the Chicago club was
making itself felt. and the Pirates were
recuperating after the spring slumn that
had boone a habit with them after their
pennant conclave in 1908.
These facts are recalled to show the
powders IN the Giants path last season
were digger and harder to overcome than
those which have doomed up thus far
during the present junket
Seeking the Answer.
And yet the Giants were able to wade
to championship with plenty of oper
water between them and the Phillies BY
the end Of July 1t was merely a question
of how long it would take the Giants te
collect enough collateral to make it i'm
possible for them to lose in the race TO,
the flag.
This year the opposition is not In the
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1914-06-21

same class with what the Phillies and
Brooklyns and later the Cubs and Pirates
we're able to put up in the 1913 wrestie.
The Giants are within a couple Of games
Of being as strong as they were last year,
and they have already jumped into the
lead.
What Is the answer?
Does it mean that the Giants are going
overlooked into September? That seems
to be the answer, unless the Pirates re-
cover the pace they maintained until the
Giants started them on the sldds, about
three weeks ago. and the Reds proved
capable of keeping their heads up and
knees pumping high.
Helping the Cause Along.
While Dame Fortune has not been par
tial TO the courtship OF the Giants, she
has not slipped them the vinegar glance
altogether. The 1njur1ng of Fletcher and
Merkle was enough to have sent a weak
er club skimming rearward at a dazzling
rate. and since Merkle Joined the regular
shortstop In the hospital ward the New
Yorks have not been moving forward
with any pronounced alacrity. But they
have not been moving backward, either.
That is where Dame Fortune has been
playing her game. She has not openly
smiled on the Giants. nor has she
frowned. The injuring Of Fletcher and
Merkle has been a handicap. for. while
Snodgrass and Grant have played their
parts acceptably. the club has not shown
the same quantity or quality Of horse
power in It's punch.
Both Cincinnati and Pittsburgh were
afforded chances to gain when the Giants
dropped three games and could not play
a fourth because Of rain, but in each IN
stance the Reds and Pirates failed to win
or could not play. Saturday all three
teams won. the Pirates grabbing their
first victory after a string of ten defeats.
1t is this hesitancy on the part Of these
two clubs to take advantage of openings
that has helped the Giants cause con-
siderably. Such are the breaks In the
game that count more than the slip-ups
and hobbies occurring during actual con-
fiict.

ST. LOUIS. June 2o.-The good bats of

today's game for Baltimore. the first of
a series Of four from the st. Louis Ter
riers. The score was to 2. and it was
not until the eighth that the deciding

Otis Crandall. The former was bumped
pretty hard in the first inning and the
Terrapins should have run up the count
to the safety point in that round. but the
method Of attack could not be put into
