rather warm day and many pre-

1t might be good thing to have
some of the matches in the local

1t would be much cooler for the

BUSY'S LASSIE
AGAIN WINNER
Takes Rich Paper Mills Stake
at Kalamazoo; Walter
Cox Driver

Kalamazoo, Mich, Aug. Busy S
Lassie, the New Jersey mare which
won the $4,000 NJ. and Nj. stake at
Detroit last week, repeated her vic
tory in another $4,000 Grand CIR
cult race the Paper Mills stake for
EOS trotteds yesterday this time
winning in straight heats. The held
in each race was much the same.
This was the third time Walter
Cox has won the Paper Mills stake,
and the best time for the event yes
terday. 2.05A, equals the record for
the race. The first heat was easily
taken by Busy's Lassie, with Pitts
burgh, piloted by Tommy Murphy,
furnishing most of the opposition.
In the second heat Lon Mcdonald
tried hard with Early Dreams and
forced Busy's Lassie to trot the mile
in 2.06A to win in whipping finish.
Busy's Lassie Takes Lead
The Mcdonald entry then seemed
to have a chance to win, but Busy s
Lassie showed a strong reserve.
Trailing to the half in the third heat,
Busy's Lassie rushed to the front and
trotted the final quarter in 1914 sec
onds, shaking off all opposition and
winning in 2.05 Il. Busy's Lassie was
marked at odds of $25 to 500 in
the betting.
Harvest Gale was first choice of
the bettors in the 2.12 trot for three
year-olds, but Miss Bertha Dillon
breezed by him in the stretch in both
heats.
Pop" Greers made a strong bid
for the 2.14 pace, receiving much en-
couragement from the crowd. With
Spy Direct, he took the third and
fourth heats. after Ben Billings, the
favorite, had won the first two. A
bad break in the fifth heat just af-
ter passing the quarter pole robbed
Greers of his chance and Ben Bill
ings then won easily.

KID WILLIAMS
LOSES BATTLE:
VET HEAT WINS

Baltimore, Md, Aug. 2.-Kid Will
liams, terror of the bantams, has lost
a battle and, strange enough. his
manager, the Industrious Dave
Wartnik, admits it. Old Kid Heat
yesterday won the decision over the
Wolfe Boy and the latter has re-
treated to the cooling shades of the
whippoorwills along the shores of the
Severn, where is situated his pretty
little shore.
Determination has been the secret
of the Kids success. Seldom, if ever,
has he failed to go through with
anything he started out to accom-
plish. Recently there came an offer
for the Kid to battle Gussie Lewis
six rounds in Philadelphia the middle
of this month. Yes, stree, it was a
real chunky offer and the kale,
thought the Kid, would look mighty
nice tackled onto his ever-swelling
bankroll.
Hold Consultation
Wartnik, in his studious manner,
thought over the matter. He piped
to the Kid: IT'S a little warm.

Johnny, to be prancing around un-
der any glaring electric lights in
mid-August, but if you think we
ought to purchase any Liberty bonds
that might be left struggling around,
just say the word"
The Kid thought it might be a
good plan, so he began training earn
estly yesterday. He was stepping
along at a lively clip UP at Doyle's
when he began to copiously shed
perspiration. A little longer and the
Kid cried enough. "Gussie Lewis
will have to wait" he said vehement
ly. "There'll be plenty of time
around September when we will start
taking 'em on first come first serv-
ed"
The fact that the Kid has called off
the Lewis engagement speaks well
of his patriotism. He came to town
and trained conscientiously for the
battle with Sharkey, for which he
got not a penny but turned around
and refused to work in the heat for
a mill which would have netted him
well over $1,000.

COnnellsville Man Finds

Men Try to Drown

Asbury Park. N. ]. - When Miss
Ruth e. Maoneely a student OF Pratt
Institute, in Brooklyn, appeared on
the South End Beach to-day as a

of the eBach saw the reason for the
epidemic of distressed swimmers. He

him he will soon be going to way

Magee at one time was the best bats

ousting Honus Wagner.
Steelton had big game yesterdaS
and made another record, shutting
out Red Lion without a hit or run.
These midweek games are played on
Cottage Hill field and attract good
crowds. The Steelton team may not

In the Olympic games held at Stock

was the first American to finish in
the 1912 Olympic marathon and took
third place for the United States.
He finished much stronger than Do
rando and Macarthur, who finished
before him, and 1t was said he would
have beaten both if the race were
another mile longer. He had waited
too long to start his last drive.

Yet he was the only son of his

She never thought Of him without 90
