'Nfosted Marvel Removes Disguise Showing Identity and Gets Thrown.

If there was a wrestling marvel, masked or otherwise in Madison Square Garden last night it was not Mort Henderson. It will be remem- hered that Mort campaigned here abouts considerably under the eu- phonious and mysterious nom de mat of the Mask Marvel" Tender son lost the entire monnaker last night "Strangler' Lewis removed the "marvel' part of it after Mort had removed the mask previous to opening hostilities with the 'Strang Ter"
 The conditions called for the best two falls out of three, and it took Lewis less than half an hour of ac- tual wrestling to down Henderson twice. The first fall was scored in 17:O5, with a head and scissors and further arm hold. The second fall was gained with a crotch and half nelson hold in 10:2S.

 As An Inspiration
 If the Giants begin feeling a trifle depressed and desire to cheer up they should call the case of the Braves two years ago. They were not only far to the rear in May, but were also trailing badly in July. Yet they won a world cham pionship that fall
 There is nothing like having the memory of brave deeds with one when the situation begins to develop indigo edges.
 One Answer.
 An expert was attempting to delve into the piercing mystery surround Ing the facts that put the Giants in last place when he suddenly lit upon these meagre details:
 1. That they were a bad last in batting with a team average of only PIP.
 ?. That they were a bad last in fielding.
 3. That the pitching was badly spotted and out of gear.
 At which point his research into the terrific mystery suddenly ceased
 That wild, clatterng racket you hear as of a stampede under way is merely fifteen or twenty of the lead ing lightweights trying to get the first crack at Freddie Welsh over the 20-round route. There seems to be an invisible hunch abroad that the first gent to get a belt at Freddie over this distance will be the next champ.
 That's All. Johnson has nothing but speed in his wing?
 Well, all old Caruso can do is sing
 "Why is it." asks R. J. R., that the golfer always wants to talk about his game?" Probably for the reason that if the games most of us have stayed in the system very long they would begin to fester

Chapter One.

Chapter One. Mike Flynn, the keen-eyed scout of the Bisons, sat in the Podunk grand stand, watching the Podunk team at play. He saw two slugging out fielders come up. and get four hits each, including three home runs, three triples and double Yet it was easy enough to see that the great scout was distinctly depressed
 I'll let you have those two fellows pretty cheap" said the Podunl< man. ager. They arc both great hittcrs. If they don't bat 400 in the big league you needn't pay a cent
 Great hitters,' said Mike, i've don't want any moro hitters. We already have more than we can use." Whereupon he moved on to another town.
 Chapter Two.
 At Popville City Flynn was even more peeved and annoyed. While here he only saw a young pitcher who had triflle more speed than Walter Johnson better control than Mathewson and a great curve.
 "I'll guarantee this pitcher is un- hitta ble,' said the owner. "If he doesn't win forty games out of forty five started you get your money back And the price is only $500"
 T wouldn't give you fifty cents," Mike answered. He's a great pitcher. all right but we've already got five CT six about as good.''
 Chapter Three.
 Mike paused at SQuashtown for a day and there he saw an infielder who could outrange Wagner, Maran- vile and Collins tossed into one heap. This youngster accepted nineteen chances without a slip, got four hits and stole five bases.
 You can take him for S40O," said the owner. q can't use him." the scout said. All he can do is field, hit. throw and run. The market is glutted with this kind"
 Chapter Four.
 Finally, after five-week hike, Flynn found the man he was after. He promptly hurried home to report the great discovery.
 What kind of batter he s?" asked his manager
 He couldn't fall off a steamboat and hit the water" replied the scout
 Great fielder, I guess" the man. 2 ger said.
 Nothing like it, Mike admitted. He couldn't catch fish if they were contagious Great arm then and a lot of speed?' the manager queried.
 'Neither," replied the scout. He never played two ball games in his life but is bear if I ever saw one. But they want $50,00O for him and bc wants $20,O0O a year."
 Chapter Five.
 "Nothing doing" the manager snorted (try that on your snortery). "$ wouldn't give that for Ty Cobb"
 ny Cobb?" said the scout. We'll, I guess not. But Ty ain't in this guys class Listen; he can't bat, field, run or throw, but he can imi- tate an oyster, a duck Charlie Chap lin, John Drew, a. tight rope walker, Joe Stecher and rhinOceros.

AN APPEAL TO THE CITIZENS.
Editor Bryan Eagle:

Editor Bryan Eagle:
No town can become a city withou,
the united effort and support OF Its
people; no city in the making can ex
pect to be more without that same
loyalty. City building is never the
work OF one man or one set OF men
1t is the fruits Of the labors Of all men
working together for the common
good, headed, perhaps, by one or more
people especially adapted for that par.
tieular leadership.
A city is supported by its taxes as
the principal source OF revenue; util.
ity charges are next as revenue pro.
ducers. The larger-the city the great.
er such revenues and the more bust.
ness done in city the larger It grows.
We believe a mans first civic duty
Is to his home town; we recognize the
right OF every citizen to spend his
money wherever II best suits him. but
we believe no loyal citizen will spend
money away from his HOME TOWN
unless extraordinary circumstances
force him to do so.
To build city We must have stores
and people and various business en-.
'erprises; TO have these emporiums
where our desires may be satisfied
We must show a decided disposition
10 give patronage and at every oppor.
unity TO rebuff the outside vendor
md out Of town sample lines.
What Is a city? II is the people
who compose its citizenship. widely
scattered into the various walks OF
lie. Without people there can be no
.ity; without prosperous people no
lily is worthy the name. Prosperity
ONES from ourselves in large meas.
ire; the business people OF any town
re the ones upon whom the burden
4 charity falls and they. too. are the
eople who largely make OF every
Movement a success or failure. When

erprise, who pays the bills9 The an.
