WON BOTH FAIR
DAY BALL GAMES
Eagle River Took Two Close
Games from Flambeau
this Week Indians
Won Last Week.

Wednesdays ball game between the
Flambeau Indians and the Eagle Riy-
er team on the first day of the Villas
county fair was about the best exhi-
bition of the national pastime seen on
the home diamond this season. The
locals nosed o 1T with a four to three
victory, pulling in the winning runs
in the ninth inning The game start
ed out in alright style and both
teams kept up the pace until Eagle
River pushed over the run that nailed
the game. The locals scored their
first tally in the third inning and
held the Indians scoreless until the
eighth. In that inning the FlAm-
beau team scored their first run on a
base line bunt, and followed it with
two more before the round was over.
In the same inning Eagle River
scored another making the score 3-2
in the visitors favor at the opening Of
the ninth. Then the fans on the side
lines got busy, opening up the heavy
artillery and bombarding the
players with racket that would jar
the nerves of the steadiest man. The
home team scored twice more in that
inning before a man was out and end
ed the game right there, being con-
tent with their lead of one score.
1t was one ofthe best games played
here this season. Three errors only
were made by both teams. Martin
was the youngster on the mound for
the Indians and that dusky southpaw
certainly twirled snappy game, gel
ring eleven strike-outs Joe Frankel
pitched for Eagle River, and backed
up by faultless fielding, had his game
under control all the time, allowing
but three hits to his opponents nine.
On account of the new exhibit
building erected on the fair grounds
it was necessary to change the
position Of the diamond so that home
plate is now where third base used
to be under the old arrangement.
The new location gives the fiielders
plenty of room to play their game.
The grounds were in excellent con-
Mtion for fast playing and the teams
put up swift game before the large
attendance.
The hoy SCORE and summary follow.

First Millionaire.

Stephen Girard of Philadelphia,
who lived from 1850 to 1881, was one
of the first, if not the first, million

sailor, became a merchant, shipowner
and banker, .and at his death left &c.

dams took them into camp by the
score of 10 to l. We don't know who
made the l. The Indians were so
busy piling up runs and the locals
were SO busy trying to to stop them,
that they lost track of their lone
tally. SOMEBODY said Flambeau made
ten runs in the third inning! IS aw-
full! Let's forget it. The home team
redeemed itself here this week.

Early American Newspapers.

The first newspaper published In
America made its appearance in Bos-
ton on September %, 1890, and was
called Publick Occurrences. 1t was
intended as a monthly. but had only
one issue, as it was Immediately sup
pressed by the government for political
reasons. The Boston Newsletter was
the first permanent newspaper in this
country, and usually receives credit
for being the pioneer, as it was the
first that survived. This initial NUM-
Der appeared on April 20, 1904, and its
publication was continued for z years.

About Roller Skates.

Roller skates were patented and
used in France as early as 1919. A few
years later an Englishman named Sy-
ers patented them and manufactured
them in London. Syers' skate consist
ed of sandal mounted on five narrow
wheels in single row, so arranged,
however, that only two of them could
touch the floor at the same time. Sew.
eral other similar skates were patent
ed in England during the next 40
years.

ST. Annes, Eve.

The feast of st. Agnes was formerly
held as in special degree holiday
for women. It was thought possible
for a girl on the eve of st. Agnes to
obtain by divination knowledge of
her future husband. She might take a
row of pins and pluck them out, one
after another, stick them in her sleeve,
singing the while paternoster, and in
this way insure that her dreams would
that night present the gentleman in
question.

Maize Grown in China.

Indian corn, or maize, Is grown ex-
tensively throughout the entire Sec
ton of China. It is generally planted
after the wheat is harvested and in
fields with beans, the beans ripening
after the corn is harvested. The lack
of scientific seed selection prevents
the production of as large yield as
would otherwise be obtained.

Monkeys Hard to Train.

Performing monkeys seldom live
more than a few months. Many of
them die of fright while being trained,
and it is consequently necessary for
trainers to keep a large number of
animal understudies.

The Trouble to Keep II.

It's easy enough to earn money in
our prosperous, plentiful America. The
trouble is to keep it. To keep it your
self requires a private bank or an
arsenal. Uncle Sam has no trouble
in keeping it safely. And while he
keeps it during the time between War
Savings Stamps purchase and matu-
rity or redemption, he pays us well
for the privilege. War Savings Stamps
represent profit of from IS to q per
cent.

The locals won again from the In
dams Thursday, the second day of
the fair, this time by a score Of TO
g.. With practically the same line
up, the two teams had their decks
cleared for action when the battle
signal was given, but it wasn't the
game of the day previous. Eagle
River scored in the first inning, and
by the time the fifth had ended had
the four runs safely slowed away
where it meant victory for them. In
that same fifth inning the Indians
worked in their two runs, Shadamo
and Baird being the men to cross the
plate. After that it was a scoreleSS
game. Martin relieved ST. German
of The pitching responsibilities in the
last of tie sixth, and for the rest Of
the game that lad dished up the left
handed dope he handled so we'll the
day before.
Larry Kuehne had his southpaw
working in great shape throughout
the the game, allowing DuO TWO hItS
in the nine innings. His field sup
port played an errorless game.
The Indians play good bali. Thurs
davis game was snappy enough on the
part of the players but the fans
didn't have the opportunity to come
to the rescue of their team and pull
them out of the hole as they did the
day before. The locals secured the
lead early in the game and kept it,
which may account for the quiet
fans.
Both games were All added attrac-
tion to the Villas county fair. Atten-
dance was large and followers of the
sport got their moneys worth of the

mt up stiff fight and these last two
Games were no exception. Judging
from the awful trouncing the dusky
lads gave Eagle River over at Flam
beau last week, the results here
might have been different. Over
there at the Indian fair Eagle River
lost their combination and the In

JACOBSEN BACK
 FROM NOME TRIP
 TRAILS ARt BAD

Victor Jacobsen, better known as the "Scurvy Kid", arrived in town yesterday evening with his dog team from Nome. He travelled by way of Unalakleet and Kaltag, covering the great distanc in sixteen days travelling time.
 He quit his position here with the A. E. C. and went to Nome early last summer, remaining there thru out that season and until the end of winter.
 He was there when the flu broke out and contracted the disease him. self. He was in the hospital nine days with the first attack After re- covering, he worked few days and got a relapse, from which he sui fered eleven days. Shortly after being discharged from the hospital the second time, he had to seek ad- mission again, as his heart was affected as a result of the two at tacks of the flu. This kept him an- other ten days in the hospital
 The hospitals of Nome were full, he says, when the disease was at it's height, and the post doctor, the only available medical man, was on the job practically all the time The town doctor, who was down with the disease, sharing part of the bur den as soon as he had recovered sufficiently to do so
 The Roman Catholic hospital, which had been closed last fall, was reopened to take care of the flu patients.
 .'Scurvy" had hard time on the long trip, notwithstanding the fact that he had a team of thirteen dogs and a not very heavily laden sleigh. He would have made better time, he thinks, if the trails were in bet ter condition than he found them. Fenana-The Gateway to Mckinley

Bought BY G.. F. Baker, E.

The old Brevoort house, at the north
west corner of Fifth Avenue and Ninth
Street. one OF the few famous old
Fifth Avenue dwellings remaining, has
been purchased by George F. Baker
lr., vice-president Of the First National
Bank. Mrs. Baker is the great grand
daughter of Henry Brevoort, who built
the house in 1884, and the purchase is
of sentimental nature. Mr.. Bakers
family is one of the stanch support
ers Of the Murray Hill restriction,
which it has defended, even though it
required a liberal expenditure of
money and the purchase of property.
1t was not 70 be learned yesterday
whether Mr.. Baker is planning remov-
ing from Murray Hill to the Washing
ton Square section, which many years
ago was practically owned by the
great grandfather Of his wife.
The deal for the old and interesting
landmark was closed yesterday for Mr..
Baker by Newton Rae, e-president of
Wortnington Whitehouse, Inc The
property was sold by the de Rham fam
lily. which has occupied the house since
Henry de Rham bought it from the
Brevoort family in 1857. 1t is interest
ing to note in this respect that the
dwelling has changed hands but twice
in the seventy-five years it has been
standing at the Ninth Street corner
1t is interesting to note also that it

has been recovered by posterity and
perhaps will never leave its control.
What was the consideration in yes
terday's transaction was not announced
by the real estate brokers, but in the
sale of the house to Henry de Rham
in 1857 the price was $4,000. At that
time the dwelling was one of the finest
in all New York. 1t was one of the
prominent spots in New York society.
The first masked ball in this country
v's*s given in the Brevoort house by
the Brevoo4k family. 1t was referred
to in the Newspapers at the time as
"An imported amusement" Miss Ma
tilda Barclay, the charming daughter
of the British Consul in New York
at the time, who was returned
to England because of his re-
cruitng activities in this country dur
ing the .Crimean war, and young
man, Southerner, named Burgwyne;
were among the many guests at the
ball. They fell in love with each
other during the evening, and at A
o'clock in the morning Miss Barclay,
dressed as Lalla Rookh, and Mr.. Bur
gwyne, as Feramors, left the ball and
at break of day were married. 1t was
the talk of the city for long time.
In addition to the corner property
Mr.. Baker has also purchased the
dwellings in the rear at 5, and 8
West Ninth Street. The entire prop
erty has a frontage of 923 feet on
