story of an unoccupled frame build
ing. erected about ten years ago for
bowling alley. strong northwest
.crly wind was blowing, which carried
the flames from one house to another
until all the buildings on both sides
or the street were swept away. All
the houses destroyed were. with one
exception. built of wood. and were very
cioSe together AS there was no fire
apparatus. ii was impossible to stop
the flames until every house on both
sides Of the block had been destroyed.

miles southeast OF this place, near the
border OF Northumber land and Ian

the seventeenth century by Scotchmen,
who named it for the town of Kilmar-
mock, in Scotland.

good. And II he does he will be
hero. 1t won't take very good pitch
ing to scintillate beside what Cub
beavers have been putting on recent
ly. Bresnahan believes he has made
a good move for 1916 in mailing Doug
las, and the next season is all the
Harp is thinking of now. The pres
ent year is nightmare and best for
gotten.
Just what success President Thom-
as had in the draft at Cincinnati yes
terday has not been made public
The names of the players secured by
the various magnates will not be
given out until the athletes are Sc
curely tied to contracts. This is to
prevent the Federal league cutting in
and landing some of the talent.
Thomas went with the firm inten-
ton of landing at least one infielder
and a couple of pitchers. Those posi-
tons need bolstering more than any
other. At a pinch the outfield can
take care of itself, especially with
Fluhrer being developed for the next
campaign. This boy is highly re-
garded by Roger. He is fast, and in
college circles hided the ball for fair.
Secretary Gardiner of the White
Sox was also in Cincinnati protecting
the interests of the South Siders. Eff
forts are being made in that locality
to nab first and third baseman for
the next pennant dash. With those
position ably cared for the Sox would
be favorites in the betting for the
1916 flag.
Johns has so far made good on
third base, but two or three other
man will be picked up to try against
him. Ness, the Coast slugger, is the
only first baseman at present on the
horizon.
Umpire Bill Byron provided the en-
tertainment on the West Side yester-

censed the tender feelings of the imp.
He planted a couple of wallops be-
fore he was dragged away. Later
he declined to say what it was all
about.
Only 1900 people were out to see
this stuff. They had better enter
tainment than. the $4,000 that
watched Mcfarland and Gibbons.
Brooklyn comes today. The VIC
tory over the Braves yesterday made
the series for the year even between
Cubs and Boston at II games all.
Rain prevented the Whales exhib-
iting in Joliet yesterday. Today they
perform for the talent of Oshkosh.
Meanwhile, they advanced half a
game toward the top of their league,
Baltimore handing Pittsburgh trim
ming. st. Louis came half game
closer by defeating Brooklyn.
White Sox finally managed to give
Detroit bit of help, licking the Red
Sox while Tigers were putting the
bee on New York. The game did not
figure much among the assets of the
Rowlands. All they want to do now
is keep ahead of Washington and
stick in third place, and that should
not be too wearing on the nerves Of
the athletes.
Red Faber was not bothered by fish
horns and proceeded to show what he
made his reputation on. One hit he
gave the Red Sox and seven of them
famed out. Even so, the Rowlands
would have battled in vain but for
John Collins. He drove in two runs
off the southpawing of Gregg. Nine
Hose famed.
Five games with the Yanks should
drop the Sox into a soft spot 1t is
up to the hitters of the team, all of
whom have slumped since reaching
the east The pitching has hardly
been up to Sox standard all along the
line, but it should have been good
enough to take the majority of games

THE LITTLE PEOPLE OF
THE SHETLAND ISLANDS

Mere living in the Shetlands is
such a deep and difficult thing that it
seems to obscure all the history and
all the varied scenery of the island.
For if there are not here the many
antiquities of the Orkneys-still the
surface trend of life has been the
same-the outer life Here dwelt the
tiny dark people, the Picts, safe, it
would surely seem, in Ultima Thule,
their brochs strong, afraid to trust
and yet, wary little folks, building
either the sea or the stranger. Traces
of them are to be found in many pla-
ces, especially in Mousa, the most per-
feet broch extant. And yet, even tall
thick Mousa could not hold back the
victorious hordes of Norseman. The
Picts built it with much pain to pro-
tect them for ever, but it became one
day the home of the shipwrecked
Bjorn- Brynulfson and the beautiful
Palisadian. [volume] (Cliffside Park, N.J.) 1906-current, 1915-05-29
Narrow Escape
Of The Oxfords
In Exciting Game

The Oxford Club defeated the
Elms, of West Hoboken, last Sunday
afternoon at the Cliffside Play
grounds, in game that was full of
lively and interesting plays. The
Cliffside boys expected to walk away
with the game and had things their
own way up until the final minutes of
the game with a score of ST in
their favor. The visitors got fight
ing mad and mastering all their
energy they began to rap the ball in
every direction to the amazement Of
the OXfords; there seemed to be no
let up to their slambanging streak
and they sent seven men across home
plate before the Cliffsiders put Il
stop to the fun. At the climax the
last man was sent down to perdi
ton and the hurrahs went up for
Cliffside who won the glory of the
day with one run. This Sunday the
Oxfords will play the Grandview
Lincolns on the Playground.

and two hundred years later it be-
came the refuge of that light woman
Margareta, mother of Jarl Harald,
who fled there with her lover, Jarl Err
land, and starved and thirsted and
still loved till her son forgave her.
Mousa since then has given of it's
stories throughout the centuries to
humber folks whose love has been
sanctioned by kirk and neighbors.
Now it stands, companioned only by
wind and sea, memorial to the brok-

their history now and then in the bod

little, dark glancing man or woman,
feverish in activity, excitable, moody,
