REDUCING SUMMER STOCK

Every merchant confronts in July the problem whether he will mark down his stock, or take chances on carrying it over another year. No store can get along without buying more goods than it can sell at regular prices. It must expect to have spe- cIal sales or carry things over.

TRIO OF AUTO CROOKS
WERE TRACED TO VELVA

The two men and the woman who
got away with a new Ford car pur-
chased with forged check from the
Moore Motor Co. were traced to Velva
July 20, the same day they bought
the car. They inquired the way to
Darlington and are undoubtedly some
where in the south or east now. The
check was written and signed by the
woman, Mrs. Freeman. Walter Gish
bought the car and claimed to have
money in the First State Bank at
Pancho, Kan. The woman signed
Gish's name to the check. The bank
informs the Moore Motor Co. that a
Walter Gish has bank account but
it may be that the man who bought
the car was not Gish at all. The Moore
Motor Co. has taken steps to tie up the
Gish bank account and it is possible
that they will yet receive their money.
The trio claimed that they intended liv-
ing in Minot for three weeks, but pull
ed their freight the same day the car
was bought, which looks suspicious

EASTERN CLUBS WIN
 . MORE THAN WESTERN

NEW YORK, Aug. GA National League baseball fan with a mathe- nautical twist, has figured out that since 1875 Eastern clubs have won twenty-five pennants and western clubs fifteen, According to his figures the grand average of Eastern, pennant winning percentages is .667 while that Of the western clubs is .705. The high est among eastern clubs was made by Providence in 1884 with .750, and the lowest by Philadelphia last season when the PhillieS won the pennant with 1892. Among the western clubs Chicago's average of .79S in 1880 is high and Detroits .637 in 1887. low.
 He also points out that, with one exception, eastern and western clubs have won pennants in groups of two, three or five years as follows: 1S77-79 east; lSS0-S2 west, 1SS3-S4 east. 1885, S7 west; 1SSS-1900 east 1901 -03 west
 l9O4-05 east; 1906-10 west; 1g11-15 east. In view of the fact that with one exception there has never been a win ming sectional stretch of more than five years he rather expects to see a western club come through and win the 1916 pennant with driving finish. lie IS willing to concede however that if this occurs, the winner will fall considerably below the average of winning western chIbs of the past

 At first sight the theory appears to be involved and rather beyond the standards of attack possessed by the average player of tennis but when H. lustrated by those who play tenni lustrated by examples and explanations the theory gains in weight<a and ap- pears worthy of trial by those who play tennis outside the tournament class. It is pointed out that if careful play places ninety per cent of returns in court you will still lose if your op- ponent is placing more than that per- centage in court Under the circum- stances 1t becomes necessary 10 in- crease speed or placement or both to a point where but eighty or even sev- enty per cent of your plays are going into court and the stage is reached where your opponent in handling the returns falls below such average, at which point you begin to win.
