The dog undoubtedly would have been killed by the shark had not the owner of the animal, at the risk of his life, waded neck deep in water and with an oar kept the hungry fish at a distance.
 The dog was owned by MT. and Mrs. Ariel Cameron, who were in a yacht in the bay. With their family MT. and Mrs. Cameron went in swimming and later went ashore. The dog was left on the yacht, and seeing the fun that the batherS were having, he jumped overheard and was swimming the hundred feet to shore when the shark attacked him. The dog parked in fright and Mr. Cameron saw the sharks fin and grasping an oar from his rOWbOat went to the dogs rescue. MT. Cameron Waded until the water was over his shoulders before he suc- ceeded in rescuing the dog. It was estimated that the shark was seven or eight feet long,

Bobby, King of Brooklyn, devel- cped Marquard into a great pitcher by pumping confidence in the emil nent Rube several years ago. When Marquard faded out later on Bobby made him over into another winner by pumping in another supply Of confidence.
 Philadelphia figured him through Larry Cheney when Chicago considered him all in, Chief Meyers when New York turned the Chief adrift, and several others who were tagged as has-beens.
 Bobby inoculated them all with the serum of hope and faith and conf1- dence, and if you care to examine the Standing of the Clubs today you may discover just how successfully this same portly citizen of Brooklyn has been.
