NEW YORK, July 27.-Slowly but
surely the Cincinnati Reds and the
unspeakable Cardinals are drawing
within swapping distance OF the
Giants heels. Today the Giants hold
their lead in the National league
race by the comfortable margin OF
seven and a half games, but their
defeat at the hands of the weak CUBS
isn't relished in New York.
Very clear and vivid recolleotions
Of what happened to a favored Ma
tional league club in 1914, when the
ignored Braves drove their way to
championship, are being held up In
front Of Gothamites.
The contrast between the Reds
victory and Giants defeat Is sharp.
The Reds ho2elessly outclassed the
Phillies, strong club, while the
Giants suffered the same setback at
the hands of feeble organization.
A fourteen inning smash in the
ribs landed Clarence Rowland's nope
fuls within three and half games Oh
the tenacious Red Sox who twice
thumped the Browns. This race Is
growing into one Of those dash-doWn-
.the-stretch, heart breaking, crack un'
der the strain affairs that make the
national commission wonder what 1t
is going to do about worlds series.
Two more engagements are seized

Sox HE to Boston for another strus-
gle.
A six toed youth, ebony pattern
is blamed by Bill Donovan. He's the

was starting and whacked out four

DR.. John Lavan forgot himself and
wanted to fight Babe Ruth, but was
saved when he thoughtfully agreed

The Pirates forgot and whipped

second game.
Two hits and no runs was days
work for the Braves.

SchWeppe-Oettlng.
A wedding which took place at ST.
James last Wednesday, will be of especia
interest to New Ulm people, as both of
the contracting parties have many
friends in this city. The following
account of the wedding is from the ST..
James Plaindealer:
The society event of this week was
the wedding of Carl L. Schweppe, son
of Judge and Mrs. F. H. Schweppe and
Miss Flora Getting.
Because of the fact that the brides
parents are both dead the wedding
was held at the home of the groom's
parents. The house was beautifully
decorated in pink and white. The
wedding took place exactly at the noon
hour. The wedding party proceeded
from an upstairs room in response to the
wedding march played by Mrs. F. w.
Schweppe. Two little girls Winifred
Schweppe and Gertrude Uhlhorn, each
dressed in white, acted as ushers and led
the procession.
Besides the bride and groom, in the
wedding party, were Cleveland Getting,
| brother of the bride, Miss Ella Schweppe,
cousin of the groom, Armin Retzlaff, a
close friend of the groom, and Erna Uhl-
horn, a close friend of the bride. Rev.
E. A. Pankow spoke the words that
made them husband and wife.
The bride was beautifully gowned
in. Georgette crepe over silk. She
carried a bouquet of white roses. After
the ceremony and the hearty con

about forty in number, sat down to

The happy couple were the recipients
of many beautiful and useful weddin,
gifts. They took an auto from here t.
Madelia where they caught the train TO
Fairmont and will spend week at Inter

home at Bowdler, South Dakota, wher
the groom has accepted call as ministe

DUNN BREAKS DOWN

Frank Dunn, the St. Paul teaming
contractor, recently convicted of hiring
a gang of gun men to murder his wife
April 26, broke down when taken to the
state prison at Saltwater. He entered
the receiving room weeping, which was
the first emotion he had shown since his
arrest on the day following the murder.
Dunn, who is a comparatively wealthy
man, had evidently expected that a
liberal use Of money would keep him
from serving a prison sentence. ..

BOYS MAKING BIG MONEY
GATHERING QUACK GRASS

William Kendall of Luverne who has
received considerable fame in this section
thru lis quack grass industry was here
last week and made arrangements with
L. L. Grier to buy the quack grass roots.
Mr.. Grier will pay from ten cents to
fifteen cents a pound for the roots pro-
viding the tips are cut off and the roots
free from dirt. This opens up a new
field of industry here for the boys. In
Luverne some of the boys have made as
high as $3.50 day picking the roots
