HAYDEN, July The Ray Mines team came back at the Mill boys to- day and took revenge for the drub- bing given them in the holiday game on the fifth. Glavenich who had no control on the fifth worked in the box for the visitors and was a com plete puzzle to the locals He was still somewhat wild and passed many. forcing in one of the runs credited to the home team.

 This did net have the expected quietinC effect and finally it was found necessary to appoint Deputy Sheriff Rinehart a committee of one to escort him safely from the ball grounds. "Chlmmy" seemed to ap- preciate the honor and immediately and forthwith disContinued his racket and even seemed quite gentlemanly as he was escorted from the field. If the Ray management will give their boys a course in gentlemanly ethics to combine with their unquesuoned skill at the national game, they will afford entertainment that will be much better appreciated by the loyal fans who put up their gate admis- sion to see a ball game and not a fight.

Bill Horrell, of Cadillac fame. is driv- ing his eight cylinder beauty to the coast on a combined business and pleasure trip and is evidently enjoying it He is also keeping his promise to send in reports on the condition of the roads between Phoenix and Los Ange- les.
 He left Phoenix at six o'clock on Tuesday evening and wired the Repub- lican from Imperial yesterday that he arrived in Yuma at thirty o'clock on Wednesday morning. having forded the Gila at the lower ferry crossing and finding the roads in very fair shape. He found bad sand 1fter leaving Yuma but the plank road to Holtville was very good He was to cross the Inn perial Valley on Wed .2esday night and expected to arrive in San Diego yes terday morning. He states that the night driving is mucfr preferable to daytime travel if one knows che roads. Merely as an aside. and purely as a matter of passing interest, Mir. Horrell states that "the Cadillac Eight is go- ing fine" Strange isn't it?

STRICKLAND GETS THE , AGENCY FOR NEW BRUSH

K. E. Strickland has secured the distributing rights in this field for Fesler Fountain Shaving Brush.
 Nr Strickland's family will con tinue to live in Phoenix, this being the point from which distribution is to be made The article will be placed on sale in drug stores and in haberdasheries.
 This new novelty is said to be a remarkable new idea for the man who slaves himself. It is entirely sanitary and is so constructed that the tube of soap can be inserted in the nickel handle with a telescoping perforated top, so made that the soap flow can be regulated or cut off and the entire brush can be carried with entire safety in pocket or in travelling bag.
 A few twists and water is all that is required to have d fountain shay ing brush.

THE SIMILARITY OF METHOD IN
 DICKENS'S NOVELS
Sir Arthur Quiller- Couch Calls At tention to the Famous Writers Predilection of "Denouement
 by Masked Battery"

As everybody knows. Dickens left an unfinished novel behind him; and a number of ingenious writers from time to time have essayed to finish the story of Edwin Brood" con structing the whole from the frag- ment-yet not from the fragment only, since in the process they are forced into examining the plots of other novels of his; so into recog- niZing that his invention had certain trends-certain favorite stage tricks artifices, cliches-which it took all most predicably; and so to argue from how he constructed by habit, how he probably would have con struCted this tale
 For example. no careful reader of Dickens can fail to note his predi- lection for what l will call denoue- ment by masked battery At the crit ical point in story after story, and at a moment when he believes him self secure, the villain is rounded on" by a supposed confederate or

 Indications point to a very closely contested meet. The only two events which seem settled before hand are the high diving contest and the underwater swim. It looks vry much as if Corp stein and Johns would cinch the high dive for the K. A C.'s. and Boido and Mann seem to have a walkover in the underwater event.

They all agree that too muck credit cannot be given to the men who travelled across the continent for pure love of the sport of rowing and then forced Cornell out to the last ounce to win by few feet. Men of that stamp and char acter play a part in the elevation of any sport which cannot be over They made many sacri- fices. more than have ever appeared on the surface and each one of the crew. including the youthful coach. Frank Guerena, deserves all the en- thusiastic praise and congratulations that have been given them.
 Speaking of rowing, reminds us that at the New London race they said that the English stroke, taught by Guy Nickalls, was primarily respon- sible for Yale's great victory over Harvard.
