NEW YORK. Sept. EFF there was
anything needed to convince fandoru
at large that the Phillies have the N.
l.. gonfalon nailed to the mast, that
double victory over the Cards at 81.
Louis yesterday did it. The Quaker
town crew now has lead of over nve
games In the flight and has fourteen
more games to play. They can loss
five OF those games and the Braves
and Dodgers can win all theirs AMI
the pills will still have the LEAD
stitched by sevcral points.
The victory was doubly pleasing to
Moran and Philadelphia adherents for
the Irish leader slipped over two
wins without playing his ace-Alex-
ander. 1t is quite probable that Nor
an will ease p on his star from now
on in preparation for the big tilt.
moran has used lot Of craft in wors
ing his pitchers the last few weeks as
yesterdays twin winning shows.
Hushey Jennings embattled Tigers
crawled half gama on the leading
Red Hose just to show that all the old
fight has not been taken out OF them.
Boston was idle, but probably will get
that half a game back today in the
double header with the Cleveland
crowd. while the Tigers are graphing
again with the wrecked Athletics.
-Four games stand between the clan OF
Carrigan and the Bengals in today's
official.
From this comparatively early angle
It appears the Boston team Is going
into the titular crash with the big
edge as regards hitting the ball. The
latest averages show the Red Sox are
batting over $50 as team, while
Moran's team has barely over .24o.
With the exception of the Braves
and the White Sox the Phils will have
been about the liChtest hitting team
that ever won pennant. Three men
Cravath and Packert, the
first two especially, have kept the
pills up there through their hitting
Boston has a more evenly balanced
hitting array-with seven or eight
men liable to break up the game At
any stage. Which is another thing
the sports won't be overlooking when
time comes to get down the rolls on
the annual derby.

Does anyone in Keokuk know the
address Of A. Bohlen?
II SO, viii they please send the ad

chanic Santa Fee shops, Fort Madison
A letter has been received here by
the postmaster, asking the address OF
Mr.. Bohlen. He is believed to have
lately moved away from this city, &C
cording to the writer of the letter. A
search through the city directory fails
to give any such name, and motor
boat men and fishermen along the
levee have been appealed to, to help
out in the search.
It seems that Mr.. Bohlen's little
daughter fell into the river at Fort
Madison some time ago and was res.
cued by one of the apprentices at the
Santa Fe shops there. The matter has
come to the attention of the Santa Fe,
and an inquiry is being set on foot.
It is evident that the Santa Fe wishes

Postmaster,
keokuk, Iowa.
Dear Sir:-Can you advise the
present address OF Mr.. A. Bohlen?
I understand the gentleman and
his family lately moved away from
Keokuk. Some time ago they were
at Fort Madison In launch and
Mr.. Bohlen's little daughter fell
into the river and was rescued by
one of our apprentice boys in the
shop.
We are anxious to hnd out
where the Bohlens have moved to.
as our attention has been called
to the manly act of the young man
in jumping into the river to save
a life; and we desire to hear from
Mr.. Bohlen and find out what
danger his daughter was In and
what the young man did to rescue
her from drowning. s
Thanking you in advance,
Yours truly,
JAMES M'DONOUGH,
Master Mechanic.

INSULTS NOBLE GAME
FRENCHMAN ACTUALLY OARES
TO RIpIcULE GOLF.

Turf Must Think Of Something
In the Nature Of Fitting

I'VE see on the green countryside
during the warm days OF summer per-
spring creatures. flushed and un-
kempt. armed with long-handled clubs,

you make a number of artificial holes,
which are all of fixed shape and
depth-the more these holes resemble
natural holes the better they are.
Golf is the direct descendant of
now questionable sport known as
stouebreaking. which consists of break
ing the stones on roads with the aid
of a long hammer. The essential diff
ference is that the golfers do not wear
wire spectacles like their ancestors.

The stones have been replaced by

much longer. being unbreakable.
The problem is to make this ball go
into the holes on the golf course with
ou. touching it with the hands. That
would be much too easy. To push II
toward the holes you use a wooden
stick with an iron butt, very incon-
veniently shaped so as to make the
problem as complicated as possible
This stick is called a club. and its num-
Der is legion, since it is the correct
thing to change the club between each
stroke. just as you change forks be-
tween each course. The collection of
clubs. contained in an umbrella case. is

youngster known as a caddy. The
player having chosen with great care

fiourishes 1t with both hands, strikes
and misses the ball. There are two
ways of missing the ball-one by using
too much force and the other by not
using enough. The stroke with too
much force behind it is the easier; it
consists in striking the earth a few
feet behind the ball without touching
it When this stroke is well done it
sends into the air shower of earth
and turf after the style of fireworks
display. with very elegant effect. The
hit which misses is more delicate to
achieve. In this case it is necessary
that your club. after a vigorous flour
ish. should make straight for the ball.

player on the back of the head.

PIECE OF BLoTTlNe PAPER
Its Characteristics and What II indI
Gates Of the Habits Of
Its Owner.

Few people realize the true inward
ness of blotting paper. particularly
people who live in big towns and
should know better 1t is. for instance
a real pleasure to sit down to large
clean sheet of new pink blotting paper
and instead of its soiling one, to ps
the first to soil it. White blottins
paper has to be very thick and alb
sorbing to hold its own. while green
blotting paper is only suggestive Of
banks and business, and little soiled
ends which are used for the weeks
books. The blotting paper connoisseur
changes his blotting paper with apso
lutte recklessness. 1t becomes to MIN
like the paper target which. once

Rinderpes. In the Philippines.

Rinderpest, which has decimated the
carabao in the Philippines for many
years in spite of energetic quarantine
measures, will probably be stamped
out entirely before long. if the new
plan under consideration of immuniz-
ing the cattle against the disease
should prove successful. An official
test recently made on 5000 animals
proves that permanent immunity can
be attained by simple process. at a
cost of not more than 90 cents a head.
and with loss of less than one per
cent of the animals treated. 1t is
estimated that all the cattle in the in
fected provinces could be immunized
in two or three years at total cost
of not more than 100000. which is
about half what the government now
spends each year for quarantine, while
$4,000 would insure owners against
loss by the immunizing process. A
further expense of $4,000 year would
provide for the incubation of all young
stock and imported cattle.-Scientifio
