Levi Conright closed up the fish
ing season in a blaze of glory the
first Of the week by hauling in a
twelve pound pike, while fishing
in the Whetstone-a real live.
genuine fish, and the championship
for the season will probably rest
with Levi, as it is pretty late in the
year for Will Mount or any of the
other piscatorial gladiators to snatch
the banner from Lewis record of a
twelve FOUNDER. Conright cut his
catch into slices, which we're as
thick as beefsteak. and we can
vouch that the piece we were served
vas not from any perch.
Mr.. and Mrs. John johnson, Of
Scranton, N. D., have been spend
ing the week in Milbank. They
were early day residents of the city,
when Mr.. Johnson was for many
years in the coal and wood business.
He went from here to Bowman
county, N. D., and has been farm
ing in that county ever since, but
is now about to sell his land, and
will probably make his home at
Bowman. Miss Ellen. one of the
two daughters in the Johnson family
is married and lives in Bowman,
and the other, Miss Minnie is living
at home. MI. johnson was greatly
surprised at the changes and i'm
provements that have taken place in
Milbank since he removed from the
city, but is thoroughly enjoying
meeting his old friends.

cIea Maker,. Rich Find.

In the japanese city of Matsue.
I1umo province. lived an Industrious
maker of clogs named Jisuke Nlshi-
tani. His family had possessed, for
unknown generations, a quaint manu-
script on vellum, the origin of which
was unknown. 1t occurred to the pres
ent owner early last month that the
parchment might have value. He
FIRST submitted 1t to the Tokyo Impe-
rial University, where 1t was pro-
nOunced n sacred Buddhlstic writing
OF the thirteenth century. Jisuke was
advised to take 1t to the Nlchiren Sect
college. where he was informed that
1t was an original manuscript by Mich
iren (1222-12s2), founder Of the Hokke
sect, and was done by his own hand
when thirty.eight years old (126O). It
was pronounced 30 valuable that Its
price was conservatively estimated at
100000 yen ($5OO0O).

and bears his name. It is based on
the Snddharma Pundarika. It taught
that there was "only one true Buddha,

Christian view Of work and wealth.
Neither the moderate reforms advo-
Gated In this paper l,Or any other pro-
gram Of betterment or reconstruction
will prove reasonably effective with
out reform In the spirit Of both labor
and capital. The laborer must come to
realize that he owes his employer and
society an honest days work In return
for fair wage and that conditions
cannot be substantially improved until
he roots out the desire to get maxi.
mum OF return for minimum Of xerv-
Ice. The capitalist must likewise get a
new viewpoint. He needs to learn the
ong-forgotten truth that wealth Is
stewardship, that pront-makIng Ia not
the basic Justification OF business en-
terprise and that there are such thinYs
as fair profits, fair interest and fair
prices. Above and before all, ne must
cultivate and strengthen within his
mind the truth which many OF his class
have begun to grasp for the first time
during the present war-namely, that
the lnborer IL human being. not mere.
~ an instrument OF production and
that the laborer's right to a. decent
livelihood Ia the nrst mora, charge
upon industry. The employer has a
right to get a reasonable living out OF
his business, but he has no right to In.

R|XEY DUE TO PITCH
AGAINST ALEXANDER
Cub Star, Now With String OF
"a ScoreIess Innings, to Il
Oppose PhiIs tfs.
ROBERTSON MAY SEE ACTION

Chicago, Aug. 2.-The Phillies wifi
have to break Grover Alexander's etrinss
of twenty four successive ciphers ~
continue their winning streak in- fhb
West. They will face the cornhusker In
the opening battle with the Cubs to-
day and, resting only four points be-
hind the Cardinals, will throw every-
thing they have Mt Alex to advance q
notch in the National League race.
Cravath would like to pit Meadows
against Alexander, but as the right
handler went through nine hard rounds
last Wednesday in st. Louis, he wf}l
not be strong enough to pitch Mt TOP
speed today, so Eppa Rixey nrobably
will be on the rubber agaist the Ne
braska product. u
A month ago it was reported around
the circuit that Alexander had seen
his best days. His control was not the
best and batters said that his speed ball
had lost some of its smoke. aesA
On July % Alex pitched eleven irI-
nings against the Superbas and woa,
3 to 0, with five hits. He did not giys
a single walk. Last Sunday he beat

That's the way Alex pitched when
the Phillies were pennapt contenders,
so it will be seen that the Quakers win
not have a snoft snap IN the debut with
the Cubs.
Then. again. Dave Robertson may
appeal in the Chicago lineup. In need
of hitters the Cubs accepted outfelder
Dave for Phil Douglas.
However, the Phillies are not accept
ing defeat from any one these dsSs
before the ninth inning is over. The
grouchcs they carried around early in
the season have disappeared, and with
the prospect of getting out of last place
they are playing smart ball.

Cincinnati Wild OUer Defeat
of Giants and Prospect Of
Mauling Them Again
Cincinnati, Aug. 2.

Cincinnati, Aug. =.
CINCINNATI, dry, old Cincinnati, is
~ intoxicated with baseball today. The
sky is clear, Moran's Reds are leading
in the race for the National League flag
and are again booked to meet John
McGraw's team in battle equaling
In Importance, as far as Cincinnati is
concerned, any worlds series game that
ever was staged.
On the faces of the newsboys, tele-
phone girls, masters of finance, truck
drivers and business men is written the
story of great double sporting event.
The first of this twin affair was the
victory of the Reds over the Giants yes
terday, which sent them to the top of
the ladder; the second is the game this
afternoon, which bids fair to produce
as many thrills in the Redland stadium
as yesterdays contest.
Personal Feeling
There is a personal feeling in Gin
cinnati fandom against the Giants. In
the first place there is the ancient base
ball hatred of the West against the
East; then the Giants have on their
roster Fred Toney and Hal Chase, two
ex-Reds the fans here believe that the
New York club is trying to "buy" the
pennant; Furthermore, McGraw's pro-
test OF the recent Cincinnati Pittsburgh
game has not improved the social stand
ing of the New Workers. in Cincinnati
Altogether the combination of base
ball circumsts noes has worked the pop
ulace to fever heat and they are
demonstrating 1t this morning just as
they did yesterday at the game when
the stands aud bleachers stopped at
nothing in the matter Of explstiyes

against the Giants as club and in =
dividually. Their part in the game
was big one. They got Fred Toney s
goat by calling him a Stacker" and
"jailbird." They were no less abus-
i've toward McGraw and Chase. The
latter famed twice; whether it was
the result of the riding" is a ques-
ton. Very likely it was.
Start "Riding" Early
As soon as the Giants arrived here
yesterday they felt the hostile atmos
phere. Just as McGraw was getting
into a taxi at the sta tion bystander
made an insulting remark. McGraw
started TO jump out of the cab and go
for the man, but remembering that he
never won a battle in his life, he re :
considered, set his jaw and resumed his
seat. tt..
The announcement of government
agents that spectators would have to
pay war tax on tickets handled caused
a panic among the scalpers. Prices
Immediately shot down yesterday
and today there is much less specializing
on the pasteboards than there was yes
terday.
Ring will probably be used by Pat
Moran In today's game against Barnes.

KELLY VS.. COSTELLO
FOR SCULL|NG TITLE
Vesper Boat Club Pals Meet in
Feature Race at National
Regatta Today
UNDINE ENTRIES SCRATCHED

Worcester, Mass, Aug. 2. - lack
Kelly and Paul Costello, pals from the
Nesper Boat Club, of Philadelphia, will
fight it out tonight in the champion.
ship singles. the feature sculling race
of the national regatta being held here
on Lake Quinsigamond.
Costello got into the championship
class yesterday when he unexpectedly
won the association singles by beat
ing Walter Hoover. Of Duluth Henry
Heller. of the Mctropolitans, of New
York; Charles Sheehan, Of the Ccltics
of Buffalo; Cary Faulkner, of the
Riversides, of Cambridge, and few
more. Costello was the dark horse in
the race and came through in one Of
| the most spectacular finishes ever known
in national regatta.
Uses New Shell
The Vespcr lad was all set to use
the same boat in which Walter Rigling.
n clubmate, had started in the inter
mediate singles, but Walter ran ashore
soon after the start and broke the out q.
rigger. Kelly previously had won the
senior quarter mile dash and was get
ting out of his togs at the Lakeside
Boat Club when Coach Frank Mueller
discovered that there was no boat for
Costello.
Rigling was high and dry away up
the lake and Kelly came forth with the
suggestion that his shell be used. OF
course the rigging was altogether diff
fercnt from the other Nesper shell.
Costello and Rigling are small athletes
compared alongside of Kelly, the young
giant. There was nothing else to do
and Costello jumped into Kelly's boat
and padded to the starting line.
Much Handicapped
! a three inch difference in the leg
| igging was terrible handicap. but it
took more than that to discourage the
son of former Philadelphia fighter.
Costello got away to bad start and
Hoover and Heller hoped out with IL
four and three lengths lead. respect
lively. 1t looked like Il hopeless task
! for Costello, but he put his back to it
and using Heller as pacemaker soon
began crawling up on Hoover, the real
favorite in the race.
! Costclo's squirt in the last half mile
is still the subject of much discussion
here. He showed Kclly's shell into the
lead and stayed there, but almost lost
in the last twenty yards. 1t was not
due to any ovcrcXhaustion, but the
slides were getting away from him and
the rigging fast working loose. He was
| strong at the finish and today goes to
the post against Kelly in the race to
decide the American sculling champion
ship. Either way, Philadelphia is sure
of the championship, the first it ever
has lifted in sCulling.
