Sport Chat

Sandy Toothman was hanging
round Fairview in the days when
most of the members of the present
Fairyiew High team were Just old
enough to pass basketball among
themselves without trying much to
make a basket. In fact, they could
hardly get the ball up to the basket.
But these fellows who are making
such a good floor record this year,

The Monongahela Valley Basket
ball tournament promises to be one
,of the best events in the way of a
basketball tournament ever staged.
While the idea TO hold such a tour
nainent at the Normal school late
next month is a new one and put on
as an experiment, it seems certain
that the affair will be a great success.
Sandy Toothman, who is working out
the plans for the tournament, is very
optimistic as to the outcome, and the
letters he has been getting from the
various schools invited to participate
in the games shows that the tourna-
rnent is creating great amount Of
interest. SO far the following teams
have signifed their intention of being
on hand: Terra Alta, Fairmont, Fair

Composite standings of the clubs
in the National League for the past
20 years, reveal the fact that in this
period, the New York, Chicago and
Pittsburgh teams have put up a re-
markably close contest for the flags.
The records also show that in this
score of seasons, the Giants have won
six pennants, the Cubs five and the
Pirates four.
John McGraw's men have finished
second on seven occasions in the 20
campaigns, while the Buccaneers
have been runners-up four times and
Chicago has twice wound up one
notch below the leaders. AS for third
place, this has gone to the Cubs five
times and the Pirates four, while New
York has only held berth No. once in
| the specified distance which starts
with the games played in 1900 and
runs right up to the present time
A table was published recently in
these columns, covering the last II
! campaigns. 1t went to show the SUI
periority OF the Whitesox and Cubs in
this particular stretch of years. A.
/ longer period would not have sufficed,
owing to the fact that prior to 1903,
the American league was made up Of
clubs, some of which afterward drop
ped out of the circuit Since then,
however, the two major loops have
not been changed. In the 17-year stas
stistics, Pittsburgh was close thir;l
but adding the lists of victories. and
defeats of 1900, 1901 and 1902 to the
computation, 1t narrows the records
down between the Gothamites, Bruins
and Buccos.
The tightness OF the struggles be-
tween the three old rivals, is further
proven by the fiures, which set forth
that in the 20 years, the Corsairs and
Giants each have finished in the first
! division 16 times. The Cubs have 60:
dropped below fourth position except
ing in five instances during these last
90 seasons.
AS a matter of fact, New York has
won LIP games and lost 1922 in this
length of time. Chicago has won 1,705
and lost 1850. Our Pirates have won
1874 and lost 1889. This gives the
Giants a percentage of $50, the Cubs
.575 and the Corsairs .565. When
three teams can show composite
standing covering an entire score OF
years, which leaves but Is points sep
arating first from third place, it means
that each Of the rivals must have been
! fighting the greater part of the time
Dope Is interesting stuff, especially
at this period of the year, but baseball
is uncertain and all the winter statis-
tics In the world will not point out
whether the same teams will finish
at the top or the bottom when the next
race is brough to a close. This gives
every club in the circuit and ali It's
admirers ample opportunity to form
their own opinions and to hope for a

OBITUARY.

MRS. WELLINGTON HASLAM.
The death last Wednesday noon of
Mrs. Wellington Haslam, at her
home on Birch avenue, takes from
Ellsworth one of it's esteemed
women. For much the greater part
of her life she had lived in this city,
gathering into her circle of admiring
friends all with whom she came in
intimate contact, deyoting herself to
her home, but never lacking in those
thoughtful acts of sympathy, charity
and kindness which characterize the
good neighbor."
Mrs. Haslam, whose maiden name
was Augusta Treadwell, was born in
Lowell, Mass, December 23 1S45.
She came to Ellsworth with her pa
rents when girl. She was married
to Wellington Haslam in Bangor,
January L, 1873, and after few
years in that city, they came to Ellis
worth, where they have since made
their home.
She leaves, besides her husband,
one daughter, Miss Alice M. Haslam.
The funeral was held at the home
Friday afternoon, Rev. r. B.
Mathews of the Congregational
church officiating. Many beautiful
flowers expressed the love and SYM
pathy of neighbors andfriends.
MRS. EMILY L. SMITH.
Emily Lowell, widow of Joseph F.
Smith, died Sunday evening at the
home of Mrs. Henry Holt, where she
had spent the summer.
Mrs. Smith was eighty-fve years
of age. Though born in Penobscot,
hGr hnr ha1 -
since soon after her marriage to Mr..
Smith, who was for many years
prominent in the lumber manufac-
turing industry here. She was long
active in the Congregational church
of Ellsworth, of which she was one
of the oldest members, and always
identified herself with what was best
in the community.
The sadness that came into her
life in the loss of loved ones empha-
sized her lovely traits of character.
Her husband died more than thirty
years ago, and son, Everard, and a
daughter, Mrs. l.. H. Cushman, died
in the prime of life. Another
daughter died in infancy.
Mrs. Smith leaves one grand
daughter, Mrs. Julia Cushman Lyon
of Orono; a grandson, Dana Smith
of Warren; one sister, Mrs. Lorenzo
D. Foster of Ellsworth; a brother,
H. w. Lowell of Penobscot, and sew
eral nephews and nieces. Mrs.
Smith always retained her home on
Fourth street, and in her declining
years received the devoted attention
of her nephew, George S. Foster, and
her niece, Mrs. Alice Parker.
The funeral was held at her
home on Fourth street yesNfday af-
ternoon Rev. r. B. Mathews officiat-
ing. There were many beautiful
flowers.
