The Coast league has supplied quite
a number of players to this circuit but
the greater number Of the players were
with the Western Canada league last
year. CHANGING over the lists. we find

IN JUSTICE to manager Bill Hurley
Of the Las Cruces team, it must
be stated that the recent comment IN
these columns about conduct Of a
military baseball team at Las Cruces
did not come from him but from a
fan up the valley and another man
who happened to travel into the city
on the same train as the ball team.
THE weather man was not very
kind to the local baseball fans
when he dished out some wintry
blasts after SIX weeks of lovely
spring weather.
MANAGER McCLoSKEY made a
wise move in postponing the
Thursday game. The high, cold wind
would have made baseball a farce.
This sort of weather can't last for
ever and when it is over we can look
for a much better brand Of baseball

CLUB TOURNAMENT.
H. C. Mccrossen Won Trophy Cup
Waupaca Man Won Regular Shoot
Very Successful Tournament.

The initial tournament of the Wau-
sau Game and Gun club was held last
Sunday afternoon on Grand avenue,
near Schofield hill. Eighty-seven
trapshooters participated in the meet
which was the largest number having
participated in any tourney held in
Wisconsin this year, outside of Mad
iSon. Every entrant was enthusiastic
over the tourney and many compli-
ments were given by the outsiders
who were here for the event on the
manner in which the entire affair
was conducted. Thirteen thousand
clay pigeons were thrown from the
traps Sunday afternoon. Local officers
have worked hard in making arrange
ments for this first tourney and it
may be termed as complete success.
Henry G.. McCrossen won the silver
trophy cup. He tied with William L..
Convey, but in shooting off the tie,
Mr.. McCrOSSen broke twenty birds in
succession, while Mr.. Convey hit seven
teen out of the twenty. They each had
broken ninety-tWo birds.
In the regular meet, @. Larson of
Waupaca won the highest score,
breaking SO birds out of the hundred.
The best all round score was made by
the professional, G. G. Robbins of ST.
Paul, who broke ninety-nine birds of
the hundred. Because of the number
Of participants in the tourney but
one special event was carried out.
This was won by Henry McCrossen
who broke twenty birds in succession,

DEATH OF MRS. L. S. COIN
Passed Away in Milwaukee on Satur-
day, July 81, 1915.


Our citizens, generally, were severe
| ly shocked last Sunday when they
learned of the death of Mrs. Leopold
S. Cohn, which occurredin Milwaukee
at the home of her sister, Mrs. Joseph
Friend, on Saturday. The particulars
have not been learned at this date.
Mrs. Cohn left here month ago for
her summer home at CranmOor,
Wood county, accompanied by her
brother, Haskell Beck. She was
seemingly in good health when she
left Wausau and nothing had been
heard to the contrary since.
Mrs. Cohn had been a resident of
WauSau since .1S77-38 years, and was
a very prominent citizen, beloved by
all who knew her. Her life had been
entirely devoted TO home interests
and her greatest enjoyment was in
smoothing out the rough spots in the
lives Of others. She accomplished
much in her quiet way and many will
miss the visits and wise council of
this most excellent woman.
Idella Bick Cohn was born in Sauke-
vile, Wis, on the 18th day of June,
1858, where she was educated and
spent her girlhood days. On the 2Sth
day of August, 1872, she was united
in marriage to Leopold S. Cohn, at
Mayville, Dodge County, Wis. They
resided at Berlin, Wis, until 1876,
when they went to Milwaukee, and a
year later came to WauSau, and this
city has since been her home. Leo
pold S. Cohn, her husband, had
state wide acquaintance. He espec-
lily was we'll known in the Wisconsin
liver Valley, as he came up here in
the early COS buying furs from the
Indians. His trading extended clear
to Lake Superior. In 1869he disposed
of his fur interests and built saw
mill in Wausau. He also started
granite works at Heights, opening up
several quarries. He owned large
cranberry marsh at Cranmoor, in
Wood county and was the proprietor
of the Oak Lane Mineral Springs, and
was interested in many other enter
prises. He passed away June l6, 1899,
and his remains were taken to Mil
waukee for burial. Since his death
Mrs. Cohn has gradually closed out
the interests of her husband, but has
retained the CranmOOr property and
granite quarrseS near Heights. Her
home has been on Grant street and
her brother, Haskell Bick, resided
with her. She is survived by her
brother, of this city add four sisters
in Milwaukee.
The funeral services were held in
Milwaukee this afternoon at two
O'Clock from the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Joseph Friend and interment
was in Greenwood cemetery. Nathan
Heinemann and daughter Miss Ger
trude were in attendance from this
city.

THE TOM w. ALLEN SHOWS.

The Tom W. Allen Shows which
exhibit here all next week at Grand
and Broadway have no less than six
teen attractions all of them clean and
up to date. Among them may be
seen all that is new in the amusement
field this year, this has been made
possible, because Mr.. Allen has built
himself an absolutely new carnival
from the ground up this past winter
and exhibitions and old amusement
devices will be found conspicuous by
their absence.
In the Allen Hippodrome there will
be seen the Holland Troup the Kings
of all bareback riders, who give an
entertainmentan exhibition of horse
manship that is worth travelling
miles to see.
The children will be delighted with
Blake's dogs and ponies, as we'll as
the funny monkey circus. Professor
Blake is known from one end of the
country to the other as a caterer of
refined amusement features and there
is no vaudeville circuit of any magni-
tude that is not familiar with his
offerings.
In the "Nomia" and Mamie
shows there will be found interesting
and up to date musical offerings and
Ben Karr has Wonderland and Jungle
land to amuse and entertain with.
Tom w. Allen is bringing a real
carnival to town, an organization
that it is safe to say will be the larg-
est ever seen here.

GOOD CROPS BUT
WET WEATHER

There is one thing of which the
people Of Marathon county cannot
complain and that is of insufficient
rain. For the past three weeks, there
Fhas been rain nearly every day.
Everything in the line of produce
never looked more thrifty with the
exception of the corn crop. The
cloudy wet weather has placed that
crop in rather precarious condition
and it is a question whether most of
the growing corn can be used for any
thing but fodder. THE oat crop never
looked better. The same can be said
of rye, and grain generally; the out
look for potatoes excellent. What is
needed now is favorable weather for
harvesting. The hay crop was har-
vested the past two weeks, and the
great drawback was the rain which
made it very hard to get it cured and
sistance of every available man. The
pea crop is about double that of
many years and the factory force is
working night and day to take care
of the same. Sunday opened so clear
and bright that our farmers exclaimed
''now we are going to have just the
kind of weather we want but, alas
before night, dark clouds covered the
sky and it Tained all the time from
Sunday night until Monday night
and it still looks like rain, and the
weather report still says cloudy and
unsettled weather.

NOT MUCH ON THE GAME.

There seems to be a lack of inter-
est in base ball in Wausau. While
there are goOdly number of base
ball fans here who will compare favor
ably with any in the country, still
There are not enough of them to fill
the ball park, a thing most devoutly
to be wished when the club needs
the money to pay expenses. Our
club, for lack Of attendance, has not
been piling up money as fast as it
would like and the consequence is a
discouraged team. Stevens Point,
Marshtield, and Grand Rapids are
patrOniZing their teams Loyalty and
all are well fixed financially. The
Wausau combination has, perhaps, the
best team in the valley league and
stands at the head. In order to stem
the tide, or in other words, not to
go further into debt, the club has
thought best to play in the cities
where it will get the large crowds.
So instead of playing in Wausau last
Sunday as originally scheduled, it
played at MarShtield.
The game played in our profession
al-amatuer last Sunday were\certainly
most excellent and they do credit to
the organization. Baseball such as
this is desirable and both at the Point
and at Marshtield good crowds were
reported.
The -Marshfield game was
won by the latter team. Both teams
were in excellent condition and close
fight it was until the eighth inning
when the home team, Marshtield, Sc
cured three runs. The game ended
three to nothing in their favor and
Wausau men did not secure one hit
off the invincible Johnson.
Wausau received no hits, no runs
and two errors. Marshfeld received
seven hits, three runs and two errors.
The batteries were, Wausau, Benz
and Ulrich; Marshfield, Johnson and
Delmore.
The Grand Rapids-Stevens Point
game, played at the Point, came out
with victory for Grand Rapids by the
score of three to nothing. The game
lasted thirteen innings.
The teams in the league stand at
the present time as follows:

FRAUDULENT ADVERTISING.

A law has been passed that pro-
hibits fraudulent advertising, which
is a good thing and a protection to
the merchant who is honestly trying
to build up an honest and profitable
business. The man who will adver-
tise a sale of $4,000 worth of goods,
when he hasn't $1,000 and offers so
per cent discount from cost price,
when he does not actually cut off a
cent, is a menace to a community
generally, and to thus advertise is
now looked upon as crime. There
are papers whose managers hold up
their hands in horror at taking a
perfectly legitimate advertisement Of
an itinerant professional man, but
who will take full page advertise
ments of the kind of fraudulent adj
vertising which the state now says,
the merchant who does this shall be
subject to fine and imprisonment.
The Pilot hopes that yiolatorS of this
law will be fully prosecuted.
