When the Nationals totaled up their
sets after taking two out of three from
thte Holmeads, in the Arcade League,
it was found that the league record for
the season had been bettered by about
fifteen pins. The total number of duck
pins .toppled by the Nationals is 1857,
and it is the highest set seen in that
circuit this season. Boss set of $50
and game of 146 represent the highest
class OF individual duckpin rolling Of
the evening.
Out at the Northeast Alleys, besides
the set in which Waverlys made a
clean sweep Of the Gannons, a match
game between Waverly Juniors and
Smithsonians was rolled. The latter
team won the special match by two
games to one. Gannons introduced a
new bowler in the set which they lost
to Waverlys, it being Vincent GULL, of

Everyone knows Martin and Buck
Becker, the baseball players. They are
both star members Of the Fat Men, and
two more evenly developed young men
cannot be found in the confines Of the
District of Columbia Martin Becker is
Of an ideal build and hasn't an ounce
of excess flesh, and the same goes for
Buck" The latter, we admit, weighs
close on to 100 pounds, but he is some
and he'd be a sic<Iy child II he balanced
the scales at any less.
Ernest Miller is the next fat man
who Is to be put under the spot light
Miller comes nearer to the eligibility
any Of its members and he is as far
from fulfilling the requirements as Ma
dra is from Zenith Miller can't even
be called portly. His waist line Is as
clearly defnable, as 1t is in the figure
s, and his friends simply refer to him
as q fine specimen OF athletic develop
ment-
Earl Keller. the bowling patent attor-
ney, is another OF these Fat Men roll
lers. This doesn't mean that Keller Is
SO fat that he rolls along. and neither
does he bowl along. We can't imagine
anything like this from a man who
stands in his sock fet five feet seven
inches and who buys a new belt every
spring of size thirty. You can take our
word for 1t that Keelers other dimen-
sions are in excellent proportion with
the two We have given and to this we
add that his exact weight reads between
40 and $50. Fat? Stout? Gross?
Portly? NO--none OF these-not even
on, yes! There's Harry oehIer and
William Moore. Until you read this
we wager you didn't even know they
belonged to the Fat Men. Well, they
do. and they don't seem to mind admit
ting it. Oehler admits along with the
other fact that he tips the scale at $50
pounds and Moore says he is on his
feet so much selling insurance that he
can't bring himself over 40 pounds, de-
spite the three glasses of buttermilk he
drinks each day. Still, they both belong
to this nature-fa taking coterie OF Fat
Men bowlers!
We've put little Dave Mccarthy Off
until the very last, because we feel
that you're going to throw the paper
in the waste basket and discredit every
thing you ever read in it again after
eIancing over the facts about Dave,
the Oldest member of the Fat Men.
If YOU have tears, prepare to shed
them NOW and remember that we are
tearing off a few ourselves, for We hau
TO write this.
Dave Mccarthy has been on the Fat
Men for ten years, and never In ms
life has he used anything but the slide
weight on the scales in order 10 as
certain his avoirdupois. Why. some OF
the penny scales that arc a little loose
or out of order, will indicate his weight
without the presence of the copper.
He merely has to stand on the platform,
and they go his limit before they be
gin work. Troy weight is the KIND ne
Uses.
Truly. when T. Roosevelt struck such
harsh blows at the nature takers, ne
overlooked a pretty sure bet right
here at home in the Fat Men bowling
team.

TRAMP STEAMER HELD
AT NAZATIAN HARB0R

San Francisco, Aug. 2O.-The
tramp steamer Mazatlan which at
one time and another has flown the
Mexican and German flags was for
hidden today to leave port until she
shall have discharged 500 tons of
coal, laden in sacks which, 1t is al
legged, was intended to be transfer
red at sea to the German cruiser
Leipzig.
The Mazatlan is owned by Jebson
& Company, German shipping agents
of this city. She was told to clear
for Mexican port on the west coast
which is her regular run. Suspi-
cion was directed to the vessel last
night, when it became known she
had coal on board. Collector Davis
had before him today John Roths-
child of the firm of John Rothschild
& Company, wholesale dealers in
supplies, who admitted that the coal
on board the Mazatlan had been or
dered by him from the Western Fuel
Company on August IL for delivery
on board the cruiser Leipzig at sea.
He was told to look for his money,
he said, to Simon Reimer, who styles
himself special agent of the Ger
man consulate here. This the acting
German consulate Baron Won Schaik
denies. Rothschild's share in the
transaction was that of commission
merchant or middle man.
If the origina plan had been fol-
lowed the coal would have been
towed to sea by the tug boat Revere
whose captain, G.. w. Beers, was to
have received $4,000 for his services
after the coal had been delivered
safely on board. But about that time
the launch Active carrying newspa-
per men and a representative of the
consulate, got into difficulties with
the naval authorities because she
carried newspapers and information
out to the Leipzig and the retriever
gave up the venture. Then it is al
legged the attempt to smuggle thu
coal by the Mazatlan was planned.
