OF THE DOROTHY
Leslie Graham, 49, Yrs. Old
Swept to Sea Before

Graham, who was lost on the smack

from the waves breaking over the
laundering schooner, according to the
story Of Christian Anderson, one of
the two survivors of the smack, who
stated that he saw young Graham a
moment before he was washed into
the sea.
Anderson arrived in Pensacola on
Saturday from Mobile, where he and
his companion landed after being buff
feted by the surf for hours, and drift
ing without food or water for more
than two days.
It may nave been a Morse folk
tale written by his namesake, or a
chapter from Vikings conqueror's
epic, for all the emotion the reciter
betrayed in he narration. Simply,
directly he I'd his story, and when
it was finished he said, 'I don't I'M
derstand it," and that was his only
comment.
Anderson's Story.
The Dorothy was returning with a
good catch, and within two hours
would have reached port on Tuesday
July 4. For ten days a great calm
had prevailed over the gulf, but short.
ly after nightfall on the 4th the vino
blew in from the east and forced the
vessel to sea again.
In the rapidly rising wind the
smack went farther out in the gulf
seeking safety by riding out thu
storm in the open sea. Plunging anC
rolling she found herself south O
Petit Bors Island, where anchors
were lowered. These proved of nj
avail, the wind and sea driving The
ship to land, where she struck. Al
attempt was made to lower the boats
but the small dories were smashed al

The ship gradually beat to pieces

Utter darkness enveloped the boat
and the driving rain and sea foan

MIND is RESTORED
After II Years Artist Rccovers-Fel-
low Artists Give Aid.

Middletown. N. Y, Aug. 26.-Ralph
Albert Blakelock, the famous artist
who has been confined in the state
asylum here ever since he went insaue
over the poverty of his family II yeads
ago, is gone today to private sanitar-
Jun at Lynrwood Lodge, n. J., where
his returning faculties are expected
to become completely normal.
1t was not until many years after
he came to the asylum here that
Blakelock was elected to membership
in the National Academy. When he
lost his mind he had been selling
what he could of his now world ia
nous and extremely value moonlight
scenes for scarce enough to buy food
for a few days.
About a year ago Blakelock showed
signs of returning sanity and unmis-
t4bable evidences of the return of
clcuded genuius. Ills fellow American
artists started a fund to provide for
him at a private sanitarium, with a
cottage in which he will paint the
picture marking his election to the
Academy. Blakelock's family will not
be with him.

IT TAKES 4 FAST WHIP
TO DOUBLE GEO. SISLER

1T is practically impossible to
double George Sisler if he hits to
the infield," says Shortstop john

WINGED of this fact after a play
that came up in Washington.
THE infield of the Nationals
park is hard and lightning fast
There was a man on first when
Sisler stepped to the bat.
He hit a sharp bounder just to
the left of second base. George
Mcbride came over, Tipped the
ball to Morgan, and the second
baseman put everything he had in
his throw to first Sisler beat the

even Shotten could have prevented

JOB COMES HIGH
1t Will Cost Hinkel $1,000 to
Referee Kilbane Bout.
But as Promoter He Has
Chance to Make killing.
BY FRANK G. NfENKE.

New York, Aug. 26.-It cost Matt
Hinkel just $1,000 to be selected as
referee for the Johnny Kilbane-George
CLANCY fight on Labor day in Cedar
Point, Ohio.
Hinkel. Clevelander, is promoting
the affair. He guaranteed Kilbane
$4,000 and CLANCY $1,000 and an
additional $500 for expenses. CLANCY
wanted more, so Hinkel made this
proposition:
"If you lose the fight I'll add $1,000
to your share, making it $500 alto
gether. If you win you get only
$500"
CLANCY accepted.
And then came the deed that cost
Hinkel $1,000. Johnny Kilbane in
sisted that Hinkel referee the match
and CLANCY did likewise. After Hin
KEEL had assured himself that both men
really wanted him-and no one else
he accepted.
Changes Contract Clause.
Then it occurred to him that the
$1,000 clause in the CLANCY contract
was somewhat dangerous. The fight
will be fifteen rounds to decision
with the worlds championship at
stake. With that conditional bonus in
the CLANCY contract it made it pos
sible for folks after the fight to de-
clare Gin case CLANCY wins on de-
cision) that Hinkel gave the fight to
CLANCY to save him from turning over
to CLANCY the extra $1,000 as balm
for a CLANCY defeat.
So Hinkel got in touch with Cha

proviso and boosted Chaney's actual
guarantee with expenses) from
$500 to $500 win. lose or draw.
Yes Oscar, 900 is a healthy flock
of dough to part with merely for the
honor of being a referee.
HinkeI's Big Gamble.
Hinkel. in grabbing the Kilbane-
be a long chance. Many figured that
he was up against a losing game, but
it begins to look now as if he will
cash" big on the bout.
1t will cost approximately s26, 900
to stage the affair. That includes the
SIG, 500 guarantees for the battlers and
allows nearly $4,000 for the expense
of building stands, etc. The fight will
be the biggest and most important
ever staged in Ohio and the chances
are that the house" will be sold COM
pletely out before the gong sends the
pair of featherweights into action.
The stadium built for the occasion
will seat 5000 and the ''gate"-if the
house is sold out-will total $4,000.
That would mean a 1000 "rakeoff'
for Hinkel. who mbled-and has
won-on the chance that Ohioans will
pay fairly siZeable prices to see a real
battle between a champion and his
most dangerous rival.

BOSTON TO The FRONT
Both Red Sox and Braves Are Play
ing Great Ball Now.

New York, Aug. 26.-The phenome-
nal work of the two Boston clubs in
the American and National leagues
this week stands out as the prominent
feature in the two big pennant races.
In the American league the Red
Sox, world'se champions, played five
games, winning four and losing only
one In thei National league the
Braves, aided by some wonderful
pitching, won all of the five games
they played. These figures include
games of last Sunday. All American
league teams were in the east last
Sunday, so figures for that circuit be-
gin with Mondays contests.
The Browns, by winning four games
and losing two, worked their way into
tie for second place. The Browns
have been on the rfoad all the time
this week and their record, therefore,
is even more remarkable. Next week
they will be at grips with the Red
Sox in what will probably be the cru
cial series of the campaign. The Red
Sox show no signs of cracking. Their
pitchers have held opposing teams to
five runs for the week and have
dished only thirty-six hits in the five
games player. The wonderful pitch
ing staff of the Carrigan team is be-
ginning to work in top notch form.

The only thing left to fight for is a

tail end of the first divi sion than way down
i'll the second. And the SavHgeS are only
something like half a hundred points from
