to the outermost circles of the city

AS will be noted elsewhere in the

it was unanimously recommended
the light proposition submitted to the
Sank Centre City Council by A. G.
Whitney of st. Cloud should not be
granted. The Council last evening,
taking the action Of the Commercial

proposition of the st. Cloud man.
Last week Messrs. V. G. Wedge and
V. L. Burgess, members of the Com

al days visiting at Zumbrota in the
southern part of the state. Zumbrota
made contract with the Consumers
Power Co., in 1912. This concern op-
crates a large generating plant at
Cannon Falls, and furnishes light and
power for Mankato, Faribault, North
field and other points. The Zumbrota
contract called for practically the
same prices asked of Sank Centre by
Mr.. Whitney, namely, 12c per XIV
withRa reduction of one cent for
prompt payment. After one months
time the Consumers Power Company
voluntarily reduced the price for
Zumbrota people to the same level as
the prices paid by the larger towns,

HITTING
 HELPS GIANTS TO
 DEFEAT PHILLIPS

New York, Sept. 2-Jim Thorpe came over from Harrisburg yesterday and halted the pennant rush of Pat rick 1Ioran's Phillies. Thorpe was ably assisted by Bill Ritter, who did his spring training at Marlin on ty- phoid fever. The Phils were halted by to 5. The general appearance of the game was radically changed from a Philadelphia to a Manhattan victory in the eighth inning, when the Giants batted George McQuillan out of the box.
 Harrisburg must be a great little town It did wonders for Jim Thorpe. When the Giants sent him back to the minors, Thorpe wasn't batting enough to keep warm. Yesterday he made three hits-two singles and a. double scored two runs and put the Giants On their feet. Why not send the whole team to Harrisburg for a Visit [?
 Ralph Stroud started to pitch for the Giants, and in the third inning the heavy hitters of the Phils made him think a cyclone had struck him. Here is where Bill Ritter came out of hiding. Just take a squint at what Bill did. He gave the hauling Phi1s two hits in six innings and struck out seven of them.

YANKEES BEATEN
 IN I2TH INNING

Washington, Sept. 2-The Yankees were Hoped for their fifth strai ght loss here yesterday, when Ray Cald- well met the same fate that befeIl Fisher Tuesday. and was nosed out in extra innings. after curving a grand game. The telegraph operator was nosed out in a twe1ve-inningy twirling duel with Doc Ayres, by a score of 2 to 1.
 Of course it was Caldwell who SCOT ed the lone run. Baumann drove him home with a single after Slim opened the third inning with a double.
 If Caldwell should try to sue the Yankees for non-support, he could get enough evidence. In his last fifty1six innings the Yankees have scored three runs behind Caldwell. But that is really flattering the team. Caldwell scored two of those runs, one aft@. hitting a. triple, and another after swatting a double also drove in the third. During this period of drought the Tanks have not scored a run without CaIdwe1Fs aid.
 Caldwell might have won the game, 1 to o, had Silk O'Loughlin allowed a catch which Hughie High claimed to have made in the third inning. High came in fast for McBride's liner with one out in the third, and it 1@oked as though he had made 8 spec facuIar catch. However, much to Hughie's discomfiture, O'Loughlin decided it was a blow for Mcbride.

This was the Canadians last victory as champion of the world, for his next battle, staged in Sydney, was with Jack Johnson, the black shadow which had followed him around the world. When Burns won the title from Marvin Hart in Los Angeles in 1906, his claims were not taken ser- iously, but, although he was only 5 feet inches in height, Tommy soon demonstrated that he was the super for of all the white scrappers then in the ring. He knocked out Jim Flynn defeated the durable Joe/ Grimm Philadelphia Jack O'Brien and Bill Squires, and then invaded Europe, where he whipped Gunner NGoir, Jack Palmer, Jem Roche, Jewey Smith and Bill Squires. The Canadian then pro ceeded to Australia where he licked Squires again and put away Bill Lang before he fought Jack Johnson --Af- ter losing his title Tommy defeated Lang again before returning to Cana da to engage in the clothing business in Calgary.
