WOLVES AGAIN SPLIT
EVEN WITH GLASGOW
Split of Gate Receipts Not So Even
Fourth 1O-Inning Game Went
To Our Team

Frank Shafer took his Wolves to
Glasgow Saturday for a third two
game series, and right on their own
grounds with their home crowd root
ing and their own umpires an every
thing, the Wolves took another close
contest from Glasgow, a la Jesse
James-that is it must have been a
case of robbery, because every time
Glasgow gets beat the Glasgow po-
pers say it was through a holdup
and Jesse James methods.
The Saturday game was another
ten inning affair which made a rec
cord of four out of the first five
games played with Glasgow this sea-
son going into the tenth inning, and
none of them any farther.
The Sunday game was taken by
Hester's tribe, through superior play
ing of course. The score Saturday
was Wolf Point a, Glasgow 8. The
score Sunday was Glasgow 3, Wolf
Point1. Batteries Saturday, Wolf
Point, Siebert and Berens; Glasgow,
Boe and Jones. Sunday, Glasgow,
Boardman and Jones; Wolf Point,
Morris and Berens. The games now
stand Wolf Point 3, Glasgow 8.
No score was kept by the local
,eam and the reporter has been able
20 gather very few details, the above
being about all that could be learned. !
A pleasant incident of the series was
he holding out by Hester of large
,art of Wolf Points percentage of
he gate receipts. Of course we
would not be so rude as to make any
remarks about robbers
n Jesse James tactics. No doubt
Ir. Hester will explain fully in the
glasgow papers why he did this.

Parade, Ball Game and Stunts By

REVIEW OF
STOCK MARKET

New York, July 31.-The trend of
the stock market was decidedly down
word. A number of prominent issues
In the industrial division recorded min
lmum quotations of the year, while
United States Steel fell to it's lowest
price in almost two years.
Declines were accomplishey by a no.
tlcable increase of offerings, much of
which probably resulted from involun-
tary liquidation of speculative COM
mlttments, while bearish pressure
helped to swell the larger and more
varied dealings.
Credit conditions were again the
chief drawback, the money market re-
moining very stringent, except for call
loans. These were comparatively easy
and in liberal supply at an average
rate of eight per cent.
The reaction in securities conceded
with similar moves in various COM
modities and an extension of the re
versal in many lines of manufacture
especially Textiles, Leathers, Rubbers,
and kindred staples. Almost the only
cheerful development was furnished by
the more encouraging crop outlook.
Unsettled conditions abroad were
again clearly reflected in the market
fir international remittances. Rates on
the principal foreign centers continued
to weaken as the trend of events in
central and eastern Europe assumed
more complicated aspects.

Fact 2-The average peanut crop
takes from the soil four times as much
phosphoric acid and six times as much
potash as the average cotton crop Of
one-third of bale. when all stalks
and leaves are returned to the soil.

STATUE OF LINCOLN
UNVEILED IN ENGLAND

London, July 31.-Elihu Root, for
mer American secretary of state, who
recently took part in the work of the
commission of jurists at the Hague
for the establishment of a permanent
international court of justice formally
presented to the British people the
Saint Gaudens statute of Lincoln in
Canning square as a gift from Amer
lea, and later the statute was un-
veiled. Premier Lloyd George
abandoned pressing official business
to deliver the speech of acceptance.
The presentation was made in the
presence of distinguished audience
i'm the central hall of Westminster
with Viscount Bryce, former British
ambassador to the United States,
presiding. The event was widely her
aided in the British press as further
cementing Anglo-American friend
ship.
In the course of his address Mr..
Roto declared
1T would be difficult to conceive of
sharper contrast in all the incidental
and immortal things of life than ex-
listed between Lincoln and the states
men whose statues stand in Parlia-
ment Square"
LdISi III Ills auufeSS, however, Mr..
Root said:
at is the identical fundamental
conception in both countries which
make it impossible that in any great
world emergency Great Britain and
America, can be on opposing sides.
These conceptions of justice and lib
erty are the breath of life for both.
While they prevail, both nations will
endure; if they perish, both nations
will die. These were Lincoln's in
heritance."
Mr.. Root recounted in great detail
Lincoln's life struggles and his ideals.
which he maintained Englishmen un-
derstqod at the time he commanded
public attention. He emphasized this
by reading a copy of a sympathetic
letter six thousand Manchester cot
ton operatives, unemployed because
OF the shortage of cotton during the
war between the Northern and South
ern states, sent to Lincoln after pro-
mitigation of the emancipation pro-
clamation.
In an endeavor to impress upon his
audience the human side of Lincoln,
Mr.. Root read familiar parts of his
second inaugural address and his
letter to Mrs. Bixby, of Boston, when
he learned she had lost five sons in
battle.
