LADIES ENCOUNTER COYOTE
ON WINNEMUCCA STREET

An amusing incident occurred in
Upper Winnemucca the other even
ing when a number of ladies were
escorting another member of the par
ty home after spending the evening
at a friends home where they were
entertained at a card party. 1t was
after midnight when the ladies start
ed home and on reaching a point
above the Southern Pacific tracks a
coyote appeared on the scene, cross
ing the street just ahead of them.
You can talk about a hasty retreat.
Why, that is a mild way of putting it.
for the ladies surely did retreat. and
in confusion, too, n falling over the
other, running pell nell down the
street to get away from what they
supposed was a mad coyote hunting
for prey. On reaching the Johnson
&c Becker corner on Railroad street
the ladies were completely exhausted
and it was some time before they
determined on their next move No,
indeed, they wouldn't go over the

the body. Several times the trail was
lost. The men arrived at the cabin
at four o'clock Monday afternoon and
after improvising a sled of skis,
placed the body on il and started on
the sad trip home. The snow had
drifted and the wind was blowing a
gale, which, combined with the in
tense cold, made travelling difficult.
A sleigh filled with university stu
dents was sen from the Perkins
Gulling company to meet the party
and reached a point beyond Plumb's
ranch. Thence fresh men on skis
we're sent to meet the body and final
ly it was brought to the sleigh.
Wolford and Jensen, the two men
who remained at the cabin say the
wind blew a hurricane all Night and
they feared the cabin would be blown
over. The rescue party consisted of
Dick Gassoway, Glen Engle, Bob
Pierce. Dave Able and Frank Silva.

STONE LEAVES THE
STATE POLICE FORCE

Charles p. Stone, for a number OF
years in charge of the Bertiilon and
finger print system at the State pris-
on. has been relieved from duty by
Warden Dickerson, the reason given
that 1t was necessary TO reduce ex-
penditures and Stone being the high
est salaried man in the employ OF
the state police his services would
have to be dispensed with.
Charles Stone is regarded as one
OF the most efficient men ever
ployed on the state police. His
knowledge of criminals and their an
tecedents has made him known 10
every officer in the state and almost
every police department in the west.
Politically Stone has always beer
a democrat. though he served FOL

RABIES SITUATION
Is GROWING WORSE

Notwithstanding the fact that dill
gent and efficient work is being ac-
complished for the eradication of
rabid coyotes with large forces Of
government and many individual
hunters and trappers In the field, the
situation Is serious and much live
is being lost through infection
from these rabid animals. says the
Winnemucca Star.
In the vicinity of Winnemucea
alone there has been a considerable
loss of stock and there is hardly a
day passes but what reports come In
of some one losing livestock from
the bite of rabid coyotes.
Along the Humboldt river, where
most of the ranches are situated,
rabid coyotes seem to be exceedingly
numerous and the losses of livestock
reported Is now reaching large pro-
portions and the situation looks Sc
rious indeed. However, this condi-
ton is not confined to any particular
locality, for reports are coming In
from all parts of the county OF stock
losses from the same cause.

RENO MAN TALKS WITH
FRIEND IN NEW YORK

To have the pleasure of holding
a 15-minute telephone conversation
with a school day friend over a dis
lance of 1000 miles while 100 of New
York's most distinguished citizens
were listening was the experience OF
Attorney Cole l.. HARDWOOD Monday
night. The honor was thrust upon
the local attorney and came as a
great surprise, says the Reno Ga
zette.
The man on the other end OF the
telephone was N. c. Kingsbury, vice.
president of the American Telegraph
and Telephone company. lie n
Judge Harwood were schoolmates to-
gether years ago in Indiana.
1t apepars that Monday night the
telephone company gave a banquet
TO distinguished men of New York
CITY and as an added feature to the
affair, had arranged for telephone
conversation between New York and
San Francisco. Old j. Pluvius, how
ever, arrived in time TO put an end
to the talkfest between the two sea-
boards.
The company officials. not wishing
to disappoint their guests, decided to
talk to Reno, the farthest point west
that they could reach on account OF
the storm. None of the guests in
New York admitted having a wife or
sweetheart in Reno, but Vice-Presi-
dent Kingsbury said he had an old
friend living here. So they switched
Judge Harwood's residence phone to
the New York connection. Judge
Harwood said he held a very interest
ing conversation with his old friend.
The wire, he said, was very clear
considering the weather conditions
and the great distance over which the
sound waves were carried.

Rube Marquard
Rube Marquard's career is one of the rare
romances of the game. When Rube Joined
the Giants about seven or eight years ago
IL took him two seasons to gain enough COM
f1dence to reach the heights. For two years
McGraw turned the spiral southpaw over to
Wilbert Robinson, whose main job was to
make Rube believe he could go in and win.
Finally the Rube got started and for
Three years he was n sensation. He won
"a games in 1911, 26 games in 1912 and
20 games in 1913, all pennant years for
the Giants.
his confidence waned. After two bad sea-
sons McGraw decided to cut the southpaw
adrift, and Robby who recalled his work
before, signed Marquard up. Last fall there
was this same lack of confidence. This
spring there was still no return. 'The
Rube" said Robby, has all the old stuff
tho smoke and the curves. He is young
ana strong. AS soon as he finds out he can
win again he will be as good as ever"
So Robby. for the second time, went about
the Job of restoring faith. He put Rube in
against the Giants, but the first four men
up laced him savagey so out he came
But Robby never lost his belief that Rube
was still there. He kept at his work. And
then one day the stately southpaw, holder
of the 19-straight record, returned to his
own again.
From that point on he looked to be the
Rube of old. In his last four starts he has
pitched with all his old skill and with all
the old confidence that once left him almost
supreme. 1t Is queer and quaint chapter
in the annals of the earnest athlete, but II
shows once more that the reward of pa
tience is success.
Ty Cobb has drawn more than one tough
battle in his career before to land on top.
But after watching Iris Speaker at work.

TOO MUCH GOLF PRACTICE
MISTAKE; BOB GARDNER PROOF
By GRANTLAND RICE

n RDINARILY, you would figure golf as
" game that had to be played steadily
over extended periods for any one to de-
velop consistency. 81 am not playing very
WE'LL" is a frequent comment, "as I have
had very little chance to play this season" "
It was in this way that Travis reached
the top. and it was by long steady play
and practice that Travers and Ouimet and
Evans came TO the front. Yet. once having
attained proficiency, the good golfer re-
quires far less play than he usually thinks
he should have.
1t Is generally thought that to be up
among the leading few one must have put
in most of his time at the game. This View
point Is sadly awry. Very few train prop
erly for a golf championship. Most OF those
who enter are overtrained and stale.
There is the case of last years champion
ship at Detroit. No one had even consd-
cred at the start Bob Gardner and John
Anderson. Anderson had played his last
round of golf around the middle of June.
After that round he had left for his sum-
mer camp, and when he reported at Detroit,
after a golfless summer, his first practice
round at the country club was 81.
Bob Gardner had only played few
rounds all season. He had entered but one
small medal clay tournament and had
played on Sundays and occasional Satur-
day afternoons.
Before the tournament began we played
with Jerry Trayers in a four-ball match
against Gardner and Bob Hunter Travers
was up on their best ball.
But there was this TO consider: Not hav-
ing played themselves into staleness, Gard
ner and Anderson entered the tournament
fresh and with an abiding keenness for
the game. They started just In time to get
going and to feel their game coming back
to them. Their nervous systems had not

NEW YORK, July 15.-That Christopher

"CALL TO ARMS"
HAS TAKEN MANY
STAR ATHLETES
Track Hard Hit, as Great
Number of Best Perform
ers Are on Border
PLANS FOR BANNER YEAR
BY TED MEREDITH

Athletics, especially track will feel
greatly the effect OF this Mexican trouble.
Track will feel 1t because many of the best
athletes have answered the call to the
colors of Uncle Sam and now are on the
border.
New York probably has sent more ath-
letes TO the border than any other city, and
the decreased number of meets in and
around New York is very noticeable
The system of athletic training in the
New York militia has tempted a great
number of athletes In the metropolitan dis
trct in the past, and when the call to arms
came they were the first to respond and
have proved TO be good soldiers
Expected Banner Year
This year was due to be a big one in
track For a long time this country has
witnessed a boom In athletics every fourth
year, due to the Olympic games, which
sweeps the country with enthusiasm. This
year the war has killed the chances for an
Olympic meet. but the national champion
ships in Newark have proved a stimulus
which will make this year banner one.
This enthusiasm which comes from a
big year. like one with a set of Olympic
games. gradually dies down In the next
three years. our national meets have been
growing to such an extent in the past few
years as to stop this downward slide in
the interest. but to keep It going in full
blast an international meet almost is neces-
sary.
The sending of the National Guard to
Mexico also will trouble the football coaches
this fall Yale has several good men in
their battery and are worrying about their
return. Coach Sommers, of the Michigan
Aggies, has six of his best men on the
border, while Penn will greatly feel the loss
of Howard Berry should he not get back
to start the season.
To Bar Dartmouth
Dartmout, no doubt. will be eliminated
from the New England Intercollegiates, ac-
cording to reports from New England.
The smaller colleges in this association
feel that Dartmouth outclasses them by
too big a margin TO make this meet inter-
estng for them The Green team has
won this meet for dozen years back and
1t is getting too much OF good thing for
the small institutions.
From unofficial sources II has been rumor-
ed that an effort is being made to form
triangular association comprised OF Will
lams, Wesleyan and Amherst. This would
take the place of the New England cham
pionships and will start the ball rolling
which gradually will break up or cause
the formation of a new association with
Dartmouth out of 1t.
Dartmouth Is in peculiar situation. II
is too good for the New England bunch
and only ranks as tail ender In the Eastern
intercolleg' 'ates.

rare relish. And while they had played
less golf through the summer than any of

SANITY without being affected or growing

main mechanical proposition, with but
very little worry attached. Yet Vardon,
who hasn't been playing nearly as much
this summer as before, recently had a 65

ton and Francis Ouimet, for example can
stand more golf than Jerry Travers, Chick
Evans or Oswald Kirkby, the latter three
being more nervously organized.
