The north shore of the cove below
the old fort was the scene of a marine
disaster late Tuesday afternoon. al
though happily there were no casual
ties connected Herewith. The dis
aster consisted Of the sinking Of the
old houseboat owned by Capt. Charles
Chase, king of the mountain trout
fishermen, and many people Will no
doubt feel relieved on learning that the
sinking of the craft was not the work
of a German u-boat. The houseboat
was moored on the north shore OF the
cove and the going out Of the tide had
left 1t resting on the mud. so that
when the rise of water which con-
stituted the fourth freshet of the sea-
son of 1917 came along late Tuesday
afternoon the rise of the water was so
rapid that the old craft did not re-
spond in season to prevent the water
from coming in over the rail. The hull
is submerged and the water is well up
on the superstructure. but the old craft
rests on a soft bottom and II is posi-
h,e that she may be rescued after the
freshet subsidies.

Did He Know Colors7

He couldn't see anything but green
and he wasn't Irish, either. The trou-
BILE with Hyrum A. Douglas of Pay
son, who sought enlistment at the
local office of the Marine corps, was
his inability to distinguish colors, says
the Desert News.
He was blind as bat-color blind,
that is.
After passing his general physical
examination even to the eyesight test
with good showing, he slipped up
on the yarns.
When confronted with basket Of
colored yarn and told to pick out
reds of similar shade he choose q
deep green, and when asked to match
The yellows he also picked green's.
Told he could not be accepted by
the service he went away with the
remark "How could you expect me
to; I never did any sewing In my

PLAY GOOD BALL IN MINORS
Castoff Pitchers Of Athletics Make
Good With Newark-Now Playing
In Other Positions.

Two castoff pitchers of the Athletics
are making good as regular players for
the Newark International league club.
They are Lefty Russell, who is cover
ing first base, and Bruno Haas, who is
playing in the outfield. Both men have
won the fans with their mighty hit
ting.
Russell was secured by the Athletics
In 1910 from Baltimore for money and
players amounting to $4,000. He
never made good because Of illness
contracted during the previous winter
and went to the minors, where he has
since played good ball.
Bruno Hans Joined the Athletics In
1915, and on June % of that season
made q worlds record by issuing 10
bases on balls to New York batsmen.
Both Russell and Haas saw they
would meyer make pitchers, so adapted
themselves to other positions where
they are having better fortune.
