opponents in the number Of runs
scored and six in games won.
So-called world series were played
ss far oack as 1885,, but II was not un-
oil 1905 that the National Commission
look charge OF the series and promul-
gated rules governing 1t. Since that
year the winning clubs in each Of the
major leagues have met in October I'm
a seyen-game series to decide the
championship, although this year the
series is heightened TO nine games.
During the last fourteen years sew
Cniy-eight games have been played-an
average OF five and half per series
including two ties. In winning their
nine series the American League
teams have triumphed in forty-one
games, while the senior league entries

five series. In runs scored the Amer
leans lead with 253 against their op-
ponents' go.

One of the latest cases of absent.

One of the latest cases Of absent
mindedness that has come to light is
that of an Augusta young man who
is at present in the northern part Of
Aroostook county, and it might be
mentioned in connection with the in
cident that il was not the young man
who was affected. but rather his
better half. The two came to Au-
gusta from a place in Massachu-
setts, arriving on the morning Pull
man, and as the young man was go
ing to leave his wife at her former
home while he was gone up into
Aroostook he remained over at Au-
gusta until the following noon. when
he took the 1885 train for the east.
Realizing that it was a long journey
from Augusta to the town where her
husband was going. the faithful wife
put up a substantial lunch for him
to enjoy on the way. and packing it
neatly in a box she wen: to the
train with him, carrying the box un-
der her arm. They waited until the
arrival Of the train. and as he boarded
a car she bade him good bye and
watched the train until it was just
passing from sight on the west end
of the railroad bridge. when she real
lied that still tucked under her arm
was the box Of lunch she had brought
over for her husband. Further de-
tails were not given out. but it is
safe to say that there was at least
one very hungry man on that train
when it arrived that night at Fort
Fairfield.

TANKS START ANOTHER
 ACTION AGAINST BAN
Republican A. p. Leased WIrs1

NEW YORK, Dec. 14.-New legal ac- ton against President Johnson of the American league was started by the American League club. An order was obtained from Supreme Justice Lydon asking that Johnson and the Cleveland American club appear in court here December F to show reason why an open commission should not be creat- ed to take open testimony of officials Of the Cleveland club. The officials named were James c. Dunn, Walter McNichols and E. s. Bernard, presi- dent, secretary and business manager. respectively.
 The object of the move is to ascer- tain the exact nature of Johnsons alleged holdings in the Cleveland club. The order was obtained on the affi- davit of Coone Huston, part owner of the New York club, and Charles H. Futile, one of the clubs attorneys. Huston, in his affidavit, charges that Johnson's interests in the Cleveland club influenced his actions in the Carl Mays case. A statement by the New York club said the action was taken in self-defense because of Johnson's eleventh hour appeal to Justice Wag- ner's decision in the Mays case.

 mans celestrial chances. My boyhood home was at Keithsburg, H., on the Mississippi river. Every likely shoot

My vacation periods were devoted to outdoor sports, encouraged by my parents, who endorsed the un- canned ozone for health and prospec- tive longevity. New Boston, six miles up the river, was plated in 1884 by Abraham Lincoln, then a struggling young surveyor, whose livelihood was surveying the prairies of the Sucker state. New Boston bay was favoritc fishing grounds. Small and large mouth bass lurked around the sunken logs. Striped bass and crappie dallied around logs and lumber rafts, laid ur in the bay. Those were the days of real sport. Cane poles, cotton lines, limerick hooks, jug cork floats were the accessories dear to a fisherman's s heart. Split bamboo rods, silk and tapered lines, flies, multiplying reels and esthetic anglers had not been launched upon the unsuspecting pub i lic MinnoW seining and succulent angle worm digging were then classed
