BEN ADAMS WINS HONORs

Ben Adams, the local Olympic ath-
lete, secured second place to Leo
Goerhring, of the Mohawk A. c., last
Saturday In the three standing jumps
event of the Boston A. A. games. The
much-anticipated brush between
Frank Lagay and Willy Kelly~in the
final of the 600-yard run did not ma
terialize. Lagay, running under Dart
mouth colors. with handicap of ten
yards, managed to get in the final, in
which he was placed second to Wilkie,
the Yale runner, who had the six
yard mark. Kelly, with an allotment
OF twelve yards, ran fifth in his heat.
Ed Pritchard, the local boy, who
holds the national 100-yard hurdles
record, finished third in the 45-yard
hurdle race, while Pete Maxfield, COM
peting unattached. took like place
in the shot-put.
The Dartmouth two-mile relay team
raced home first in a special match
race with Pennsylvania. Randy"
Granger, the local colored boy, turned
over a lead of thirty yards to Mar
ceau, who ran the final leg for Dart
mouth. Ted Meredith was unable to
recover any of the lost distance in his
anchor for Penn.
Mike Devaney, the Soho flyer, got
fourth place in the Hunter mile. Abel
Ktviat won the race In AT, thereby
gaining permanent possession of the
cup on which he had already won two
legs. The little Irish-American A. c.
runner beat Oscar Hedlund and Mike
Gordon with wonderful burst of
speed on the back stretch. Billy An
derson, of Roselle Park, was also a
starter in the race.

nine clubs interested and that New

heard of no dissatisfaction to amount

or St Louis in particular. The dis

who competed under an assumed
name and the refusal of the A. A. U.
to reinstate him had caused q little
hard feeling in one club, but that
was the only trouble so far as he
knew. Mr.. Sullivan said that he was

letics in New York contemplated any
action which would tend to displace
the A. A. U.

International Leaguers Meet
Today to Adopt 1914 Play

Aside from new developments in
the International League plans or
fighting the Federal League Newark
fans chief interest in the February
meeting to be held today is the alot-
ment of Sunday dates for the Tigers.
The schedule to be adopted for the
coming season is said to include the
usual number of Sunday games at
home for the Tigers-seventeen in all
The Newark and Jersey City clubs
will also get together for contest
or two before the teams start their
first journey around the upper end
of the circuit.
One of the subjects which will come
today is that of abolishing the draft
rules now In effect. The international
League believe that they can i'm
prove the playing quality OF their
clubs If the majors can be induced
not to pick on their stock every year
through the power which they now
hold.
The question of transferring the
Jersey City franchise to Brooklyn
will also be discussed at length. All
of the club-owners will have their
legal advisers on hand to formulate
plans for action against the outlaws.
Some of the International League
clubs are after players, particularly
Baltimore and Toronto. That any
inter club deals will be made, how
ever. is considered extremely improb
able. Jack Dunn would like to get
an outfielder, perhaps from the
Tigers, and a battery man or two,
but If any players are secured 1t Will
be through big league clubs.

have no intention of forcing their
way through at this point, but by a
demonstration in force every so often
they prevent the withdrawal of the
French forces. Such is the penalty
for French official shortsightedness.
If it is true that the combined
French and English armies have sue
cessfully repealed the German attack
on their center and rolled back the
German right in the region between
Vitry and Scissors, the allies have
extricated themselves from a bad
hole, military observers say, provid-
ing they can repel recurrent attacks
by the kaiser's army.
1t is necessary for the English
army not to get too far into France
because of the difficulty Ii would ex-
perience in keeping in touch with its
base of supplies. 1t is presumed that
the English lines of communication
are still intact and their transport ar
rangements preserved.
The French army is better situated
because 1t could retreat to the south
or southwest through a friendly coun-
try and would have no difficulty In
keeping open communication with its
base which could be shifted to meet
the ~exigencies of the campaign.

BATTLE OF Marine
IN ITS FIRST STAGES-LONG LINE
OF BATTLE-TERRIFIC
SLAUGHTER.

st. Paul, Sept. IA, $3.50 D.. M
Special: The following advices have
been received by the American Press
association:
London.-The first stage of the
battle of Marine, which from number
of fighting men engaged, the long
line of battle and the terrific slaugh-
ter, is described as THE Battle of
Ages" appears to have been won by
the French and British armies, but
the main German army is still intact.
The supreme clash is yet to come.
The present week may see even more
desperate encounters than any which
have taken place.
London.-Dispatches from many
sources, including Vienna, indicate
the Austrian army in sore straits,
but the story of complete destruction
is apparently exaggerated, as the lat
est Russian reports show Gen. Rus
sky's forces still meeting with organ
lied resistance.

neer physician of central South Da-

For a number of years he was a
trusted employee of one of the banks,

tion to business, was advanced to the
position of cashier. He is married,

About a year ago it was observed,

crept into his work-a condition that

he went to Chicago, where he con
suited specialists. Nothing could be
done, however, and a few months age
he was taken to his home.
Since then his condition has grad.

was decided that he had better be

TRADE REVIEW
Conservatism a Feature of the In
dustrial Situation.

New York. Sept. 14.-Following is
the weekly review of trade by Brad
streets agency:
Hopes of better trade loom larger
than do actual transactions, and, ex-
cept at a few western centers, the
trend is tempered by conservatism,
with dullness prevailing in the south.
Fall festivals at numerous points
have made for somewhat heavier
buying, but the Improvement thus re-
fected is only relative, and in indus
trial lines the pace of operations is
slow. AS yet American merchants
are cropping for foreign markets and
while progress may be made in that
direction, the situation is still n of
promise rather than performance.
1t is conceded that fundamental
conditions are sound. crops being OF
excellent volume, and that ultimate
ly crop money will make itself felt,
but on the other hand high rates for
money check enterprises, while high
prices, or, as in the case of cotton,
too low prices. hamper buying and
tend to further cement buyers to the
policy of awaiting developments be-
fore ordering literally.
Business failures for the week
were 274, compared with 258 last
year; In Canada. 81, compared with
81 last year.
Wheat exports, 7,048,000 bushels,
compared with 4,473,000 last year.

measures and exertions. The pres
ent war in Europe so universally re-
GREETED, is causing untold misery and
suffering among the participants as
we'll as in the Fatherland.
AS citizens of this grea- republic
we appreciate the blessings OF peace
more keenly az the present time.
when the suffering of Il kinsmen
appeal most strongly to our sense OF
sympathy and helpfulness. We feel
that it is our Christian duty to assist
as far as possible in the amelioration
of the suffering, in shilling the tears
and in healing the wounds that the
war is making.
Inspired by these motives the I'M
dersigned hereby call for a meeting
of the citizens of German extraction
residing in Lake county to meet at
the county court room at Madison,
Saturday, September 10, at 2:3O p.

TRAINS OFF TRACK
INCOMING SOUTH TRAIN DERAIL-
ED YESTERDAY, NORTH
TRAIN THIS MORNING.

The recent long continued heavy
rains have softened the roadbed to
the extent that trains are experienc-
ing difficulty in remaining on the
track. Yesterday the train from the
south, due in Madison at $3.50 p. m,
was derailed ten miles this side of
Sioux Falls. The coaches left the
track, engine, tender and baggage
car remaining, and crowding the
passengers into the baggage car, the
train arrived in Madison at $50 p.
m. About 600 feet of track was torn
up, the trucks crushing through the
ties after they left the rails. A
wrecking crew was sent out of Sioux
Falls and work of repairs is in prog
ress today.
The same fate happened to the in
coming north train, due to arrive In
Madison at $50 this morning. A
short distance north of Bryant the
train left the track, caused by the
spreading of the rails. The derail-
ment of cars was complete, the en-
CINE only remaining on the track. A
special train to take the place of the
derailed train was made up here and
dispatched south On time, going by
way of Egan, the cutoff being i'm
passable on account of yesterdays
derailment.
Fortunately the coaches in both in
stances remained upright and al
passengers and trainmen aboard es.
capped injury.
