HON. E. E. GAME


E. E. Game, candidate for congress the Democratic
ticket at the last election in town recently IN the IN
teres of c. B. Henderson, applicant for the appoint
ment by Governor Boyle for United States Senator from
Nevada to succeed the late Francis G. Newlands
Notwithstanding the fact that Mr.. Game himself eX-
poets be candidate for congress at the next election
he out openly and worked long and faithfully for
the appointment of his friend in face of the fact that he
told by certain Democrats in Reno that If he did
would initiate against him in his campaign for congress
next year. With that threat staring them in the face
many men would have lain down and left Charlie Hender
to his fate. However, Mr.. Game did nothing of the
kind He said that if anybody had to stay at home and
the people of this state said that he the to stay
that he would take his medicine like man; that he felt
that Eko county preferred to have United States Sen
tor than to have member Of congress if she could not
have both and with the true spirit of Damon and PyhaS
he ready to yield and let his friend step in and take
the place though should mean his defeat the
ton next year.
However, we do not believe that it will have that eff
feet ONT in this western country admire and are
ready to reward who is willing forego the ambition
of his life in order that friend may be rewarded Such
devotion is in the political life of this country and
ought to be rewarded and believe will be rewarded
in the funess of time in the election Of E. Game to
gress next November.
In this connection desire to say that Game al
though he was defeated at the last election made re-
markabIe run. Key Pttman United States Senator was
elected while Game defeated although he received
nearly five hundred votes than Senator Pttman
That perhaps not generally understood but in the cleo
ton returns the number of votes given for the candidates
showed that Game made a remarkable and that he
was one of the most popular Democratic candidates at
that electon.-Reno HOmebuilder

SATURDAYS MARKET.

New York, Oct. 19-On a further accumulation of buying orders from professional and public sources, to- days stock market opened with a fresh demonstration of activity and strength, speculative issues again fea- turing the advance.
 Mexican Petroleum advanced 12 points to the new high record of 194 but reacted to 175 1-4 in the heavy selling of the last Is minutes of the session. Many other prominent stocks especially American Smelling. rails and shippings. among which early gains extended from ? to points, also yielded much or all their ad- vances. U. s. Steel declined sharply from its top quotation of IA 5-S to l10 Is and closed at loss of 3-4 points
 In the absence of a more plausible reason the break was attributed to Washington's rejection of Austrias s plea for an armistice. In all proba- biiity, the market for certain stocks had become somewhat vulnerable anl traders sold freely with resultant un- covering of many Stop loss" orders Total sales for the session amounted | to almost 900.000 shares.

BASEBALL RULES TO BE
 PRINTED IN ALL LANGUAGES

The popularity of baseball among the allied nations abroad is spreading so rapidly that there is already de- nand for simple instructions and rules of the game, printed in foreign languages. To meet these requirements several exp4rts in baseball authori- ties are collaborating in the prepara- tion of a baseball primer which will ue distributed in various sections Of Europe.
 The pamphlet, which will be print ed in French, Italian, English and Spanish, will carry the rules of the game in the simplest form. In addi- l ton there will be pages of explana- tions and answers to the questions which arise among those who are l playing their first contests. These l questions and answers will be printed | both in English and various languages in parallel columns in order that when American and foreign players or spec | tators meet without being able to speak the language of their opponents or neighbors in the stands, there may be a medium of communication at hand. A glossary of technical and base | ball terms in all languages is also to be appended.

 Tt is further understood and agreed that the services of the rarty of the second part shall not be released, as- signed traded or transferred, without the consent of the party Of the seo<ld part"
 It is very doubtful, according to the baseball magntes, if a contract con- taining similar clauses favoring the player will receive the signature ot club owners for many years to some An agreement giving a salary of S45,- 900 to an athlete for approximately l thirty months work, with an annota- | tion which makes it impossible to dis pense with his services without con- i sent of the player, is going to be : rarity, we'll worth framing in the flu. ture, if the baseball club owners art ] to be beliyed.

 q always have favored athletics in moderation, but the kind of profes- Sionaliszn we have had serves no use full purpose. It has become now only a question of who can pay the highest salaries to a few stars. I feel safe in saying that the same conditions will not exist next year"

NEW LONDON LOSES TO NEWPORT

Thes Naval Training Station eleven of Newport scored another victory by defeating the Experiment Station team of New London, 21 to 0, Saturday. The battle was fought on the formers field and barring vigorous protests by the visitors over penalties, was a very in- teresting game from start to finish. 2 Coach Walkers machine worked with great slnoothness, thei" highly de- veloped team play being of a far su perior brand to that displayed by their opposition. The Connecticut lads gain ed here and there through the line, but the distance was small aui very rare ly was the same hole found again. The Training Station forwards charged hard and low, opening great gaps in the New London line through which the piunging back shot with terrific force.
 Youngstrom, the former Dartmouth line man, who has been converted in to a fullback more than made good at the post. Although new to the posi- tion week ago, he has come along at a rapid clip. Nearly every time he was sent into the line he picked up anywhere from four to ten yards. The big fellow also circled the Hanks for consistent gains.
 The first touchdown came in the opening quarter, Youngstrom going over for the score. Winchester carried the ball across in the third period and Youngstrom added the third in the last quarter after a pretty forward pass from Nixon to Conway had put the eleven in the shadow of the goal.
