A spirited discussion at the ad- iourned quarterly meeting of the Rhode Island State Firemen's League, held Wednesday night at the head quarters of the Providence Veteran Firemen's Association, followed the report of Capt. George Hunt, chair man of the commissioners for the dis tribution of the State Ffremen's relief fund.
 Capt. Hunt stated that applications for relief had been received from a member of the Pawcatuck fire depart ment and two members of the Mystic department who were injured while assisting the Westerly and Watch Hill departments at the recent Watch Hill fire, but that the commissioners had been unable to grant the relief asked for. This declaration was based upon a decision from the attorney generafs office made several years ago in a sim liar case that the petitioners were not entitled to benefits from Rhode Island because they lived outside of its linn it's.
 Several members questioned the justice of the decision, but it was pointed out that the Connecticut fire men referred to should secure relief from the Connecticut fund. Captain Hunt also reported that the state board had under consideration the raising of the per diem allowance for volunteers or callmen who do not re- CGlN0 pay lIOIu III0 IOWH UT CllN uS- partment to which they are attached while off duty.
 There was a good attendance of rep resentatives from the various compan- ies constituting the league. First Vice President Napoleon Trombley presid- ing. The Coventry Fire Company was admitted to membership. AS the next meeting of the league will be the an- nual one, Leroys R. Whitman, Daniel F. Mclaughlin and William J. FarD2k- ner were appointed as an auditing committee to examine the treasurer's books. Wednesday evenings session was postponed from October on ac- count of the election activities The league will convene again in Provi- dence the second Wednesday in Jan- uary.
 The members voted to have a sup per in connection with the annual meeting, the following being appoint ed as the committee to have charge of the affair: Leroys R. Whitman, John A. Hamilton, Levi s. Winches- ter John J. Mullen and George Hunt A vote of thanks was extended to the Narragansett Steam Fire Engine com pany of Peace Dale for it's courtesies at the Kingston Fair muster.

Athletics Make New
Mark For Losing

II is with no small show of pride
that Washington is able to lift
its head once more. In 1906,
under Joe Cantillon, the Ma
tionals lost 113 games during
the season. Clark Griffith had
the extreme pleasure Of lead
his club against the Athletics
yesterday for a 10 to 3 defeat
which registered the one hun
dred and fourteenth loss re-
corded for the Mackmen this
year. In the rush Of congratu-
lations which flooded the
Giants on their new twenty
third win, q big league record,
the mark set by the Mackmen
was overlooked. Mack's young
sters will probably set a mark
which will not be equalled in
many years.
