Case Of Misplaced Confidence

AS MT w. M. Hughes and family were riding on the Ash Fork road near Mcclellan last Sun- day they met an auto with flat tire. MT. Hughes wishing to help the owner out of his trouble offered to inflate his flat tine and finally loaned him new tube to replace a punctured tube. His offer was accepted and the man was sent on bis way with the promise that he would leave the borrowed tube at one of the Williams garages. On his return to town MT. Hughes inquired for his tube but found that while the man had called at one of the garages he did not leave a tube. Sheriff Dickinson was called at Flagstaff, the automobile was found and the owner was forced to take out the borrowed tube and deputy sheriff Bony Smith restored it to its owner. The poor skunk who betrayed the confidence which one man should safely impose in his fellow was to sent his way without prosecution.

If anyone thot that Mr. s. s. Aeher, present treasurer 0f Coco nino county, would have no opposition i'm his race flor reelection ihel had another guess coming Mir.

SHERIFF DICKINSON
 SEEKS REELECTION

w. G. Dickinson present incum- bent of the Sheriff's office has authorized the News to announce his candid acy for reelection which the News does cheerfully and with equal chee rfulness tells News read CTS something of the record which Ar. Dickinson has made as a pub lie official
 w. G. Dickinson is now serving his first term as sheriff of Coconino county Probably no sheriff of this couaty has ever made record for efficiency equaling that of MT. Dickinson's. His activity in securing the evidence which con- wicted the Azbill brothers stamps him as a man of untiring energy in fulfilling the duties of his office and also as man possessing mind capable of logical deduction expected only of Sherlock Holmes. Sheriff Dickinson had very little to start with in forging the chain of evidence which con- victed the Azbllls. Link by link the evidence was gathered until the chain was complete. Except for ths skillful handling of this case by the sheriff, these black hearted men would now be free to commit other crimes.
 The usual duties of the sheriff's office are attended to with the same faithfulness and energy which sheriff Dickinson bestows on the exceptional, and should the republicans decide to have no can- didate for the sheriff's office, ii will be q merited tribute to his Eexcellenee as a-publie official. -~-A It is hardly probable, however, that the republicans of Coconino county will fail to put a man; or
 their ticket as a candidate for sher- |
 if this presidential year. We
 may expect to see a complete
 republican ealnty ticket in the
 field and the News will doubtless
 be authorized to announce the can
 didacy of a republican for cthil
 office very soon. F .HN I'D '.

A Register for Mt. Bill

It has been suggested to the Forest Service that a Register be installed in the Lookout on Mt. Bill Williams. The matter is un- der advisement aud the Register will probably be installed. It would give a chance to leave name and address without scarring the trees. Indeed, lovers names might be inscribed on it's pages linked with heart.

ing and exacting a courtesy of speech which would not be yielded to other surroundings. Be that as 1t may, Hon. Tom has a good voice and easy manner and one would expect that when warmed by an appreciative audience he would ex- press himself in language of inn agery and with eloquenoe.
 Geo. A. Olney was then called for but he had not arrived. Later he was heard from as a successful competitor at the ringing the duck" booth, taking a duck by. a successful cast of the ring. This feat of the candidate for the gov ernorship could we'll inspire his political friends with confidence that he is man on whom fortune smiles and that good luck will at tend him at the September prima- ries and at the November election.
 Judge J. H.. Kibby, republican candidate for United States Sena- tor next appeared oD the Eplat- form. Judge Kibbey was not only modest, disclaiming oratorical gifts. but also frank. Heis a candidate because he wants the office. No claptrap about wanting to serve the people and help in beneficial legislation. One. really likes an assurance from a candidate that he has at least medicum of pub l1c spirit and is not thinking of self alone, but there need be DO Illusions about Judge Kibbey. He wants the office. That's the mo- tive of his campaign. -,,-~
 Judge Kibbey was followed by Wiley Jones, Attorney General of Arizona. MT. Jones easily made the best speech of the occasion.
 Probably he ought to have done so, being in constant practice as the states prosecutor. MT. Jones ap- pealed to the women to fit them selves for the suffrage which they now enjoy so that they may vote intelfigently. The cynical phil osopher will probably reflect that it will be easy for the women to , prepare themselves to vote as in-
 telligently as their brothers have
 been voting and will vote this fall. But the cynical philosopher must
 not be listened to should he att , tempt to voice his reflections. He !, is an unde sirable citizen.
 Judge Frank Duffy of Nogales was called onto the platform next and he came with apparent reluct- ance. He stated that he is can- didate for the democratic nomina- tion for jus..;;c of the supreme court. He pledged himself to en- force the laws at all tim es. If elected to the supreme bench.
 The last of the rolitica l speakers was Frank E. Curley of Tucson. MT. Curley is determined to wrest the democratic nomination from Wiley Jones. He is a compara- lively new man in the political field. He is man of good address and an easy talker. s
 Prohibition Advocated M
 The political speakers were fol- :, lowed by Grady Gammage who spoke for the proposed prohibition amendment to the Arizona consti- tuition as opposed to the local op- tion amendment. MT. Gammage claimed to have smelled the friends of the loca! option amendment on the grounds and asked them to come forward and represent their cause on the platform. They seem- ed to be content with appealing to the sense of smell as none responded In justice to the Red Lake promo

New York, Aug. SIT was announced
yesterday that the action of the Brook
lyn club owners in purchasing the re-
lease of Infelder Kelleher from the Den
yer club last week will be followed short
ly by the recall of at least eight players
now farmed out to various minor league
organizations.
Included in the list OF those who will
be recalled are four felders. a catcher
and three pitchers. These, with Kelleher,
will bring the clubs total players up to
thirty-one. 1t is probable that three of
the players will report to the club before
the close of the present season.
The new additions to the Brooklyn club
are Hickman. an outfielder. with the
Asheville club. who has a batting aver
age of .315 and a fielding average OF .966;
Nixon, an outfielder. with Beaumont, who
has a batting average of .319 AMI a field
ing average of .979; Smyth, an infelder.
with Montreal, who has a batting aver

Second Game.

The Browns had a runaway lead in
the second game. piling run after run
1t was TO l at the finish.
Old man Plank was never better. and
that's saying a lot because the Gettys-
burg gunner has hesved some thriIlers
since his first day back in 1901.
Plank almost crawled through the gates
leading TO bssebaIrs hall Of fame with
a no-hit game. He had il for eight and
one-half innings, but little Eddie Foster
was the william. With one out in the
ninth, Foster hit a liner between Mar
sans and Miller for q clean double. and
that was the only hit Of the game of
Plank.
II was a farce for the Browns, starting
with the first inning. when they gathered
six OF Ayers. Shotton walked and went
to second on Miller's inheld out Sisler
beat out slow roller to Morgan. Shotton
scoring. Pratt walked Marsans and
SEVERED singled and Borton found the
home run groove in the right held seats,
raising the total to six for the session.
Another came in the second on q clean
steal Of home by Shotton while in the
third, Msrsans tripled and Severed and
Eorton singled With this nine-run lead
the Browns fused around All interest
was gone until the fans saw a no-hit
game for Plank, and then up stepped the
devil Foster. in the ninth. Score:

First Came.

There was a day when to victory
with four hits for the enemy from Bob
Groom would have brought cheers from the
Washington fans. Not today because Bob
hurled these string of dphers against
his former pals. II was one of the best
games Groom has pitched since his re-
turn to the American League, only two
reaching third, but in the pinch Bob was
supreme. The Nationals had one chance
10 stage a rally but at that time they
had Harper for the batter and then IL
was a steal that cheated them out of
some scUres.
Shanks was safe in the fifth on a FUN
bic by Pratt and Morgan forced Howard
Ray was caught stealing and Henry lined
a single to left Mcbride doubled to left
Henry stopping at third Had Ray re-
mained on first and gained his steal Griff
would have had a bundle of runs. but
Harper put down an easy roller to Lavan
and the side was retired
Jameson drew walk with two out in
the sixth, but was caught of first and
Rice opened the seventh with a single but
he did not get past first, and in the
eighth and ninth Groom turned back six
batters without one touching first. Bar
ney Dreyfuss spoke words Of truth when
he said the loss of George Sisler cost
him 10000 Sister beat the mighty John
son yesterday with a drive over Rice's
head, and he gave the Browns their first
one with a mighty drive into the right
field seats in the fourth inning.
Harper held his own against every one
but Sieler. even If the Browns did bump
him for eleven hits. He had Sisler again
in the seventh ard Sisler brought in The
second run. Groom drew a pass and
went to third on Shotton's single but
Bert was trapped going to third. Miller
popped TO Shanks.
Then came Sisler and he lined ore to
left that should have been a home run.
Jameson managed 10 stop the drive with
his bare hand. but he couldn't hold II
and Sisler had a double with Groom scor-
lng. Score:

SECOND GAME NOTES.

Borton's home run went to almost the
same spot as Sisters in the hrst game.
Griffith used a bunch OF colts when
the Browns scored a bundle Of runs.
Craft went to left and missed an easy
fly in his first chance.
Flank is pitching in his 1895 form He
beat all the Eastern teams in this stand
at home.
Charity handled the first sack like
veteran going into the dirt for several
great piCk-ups.
The count for the season now is SIS in
GTiffs favor.
Tomorrow's game is a benefit for a
local tuberculosis society which has paid
a guarantee to the two magnates All
the receipts above 60 to the society and
20,OOO are expected.
The Browns ran themselves into three
double plavs on purpose TO hurry the
game.

POTOMAC BOAT CLUB
WILL HOLD REGATTA
Canoeists and Oarsmen of Georgetown
Club to Participate in Races
Saturday.

Rowing and canoeing enthusiasts VIII
ne given treat on Saturday If they VIII
journey over to the Aqueduct Bridge
about in the afternoon.
The Potomac Boat Club is going to
mold club regatta and an elaborate
program has been arranged for. All kinds
OF shell races and canoe races are sched-
uled and many hot contests are expected.
Ihe Potomac crews have been training
hard with a view to getting into per-
feet condition for the Middle States re-
gatta on Labor Day and a number OF
heated rivalries have sprung up among
members of the different crews, each
man claiming the greatest speed for his
boat
The arguments have become so heated
between the members of the intermediate
eight and those of the Junior eight that
on several occasions they have threat
ened to bet on their chances Of winning
the class eight event on Saturday. but
so far the betting proposition is only in
the threatening stage. The Intermediates
claim to have the edge on the others
and as there is no Junior money in sight
II Is hardly probable that any fortunes
will be lost when they meet in the club
regatta Saturday afternoon.
One of the special events of the day will
be the intermediate singles event, when
Frank Smith will challenge Bob Duncan
for the championship of the club in this
class. Both men have been working out
together each evening, but neither OF
them has suggested a race before the
one set for this week Possibly each is
afraid Of the other and wants all Of the
time he can get before testing his ability.
The events so far scheduled are: Junior.
intermediate and senior singles; interme-
date and senior doubles a class quad
ruple sculls race. a special eight-oared
race between the junior and intermedi-
ate crews, a class eisht-oared race and
mixed eight race. The canoe events
arranged for will be singles, doubles.
fours. tail-end. mixed doubles and a few
other special races.
The officials who will handle the af-
fair will be: John P. Evans. referee: John
Nolan. John II. Doyle, Joseph T. Daily
and w. C. Mckinney. judges, and E.
Richard Gasch, clerk of the course.

nine will play the first game today in the
play-off series for the championship of
the Potomac League at the Anacostia
grounds at the south end of the Ana
costa Bridge.
Forest Thompson. the veteran finger
will no doubt start the game today for
the Machinists. as Manager La Claire is
anxious to land the edge on his oppon-
ents. Hammell will do the duties for the
Bureau team, and as this hurler has been
going at top speed during the past sea-
son real live" pitchers battle is eX-
pected.
Hammell set the Marine team down on
Monday while working on the mound for
the Agriculture nine in the Government
League, and many of the fans of the
league across the river expect him to
hand defeat to the Navy Yard crew
today.

for this play-of pending the deciding of
