Sir Frank Dyson, who has been
awarded the medal of the Royal So
ciety for his researches on the distri-

Previously he had been Astronomer

Chief Assistant to the Astronomer
Royal at Greenwich Observatory. He
was born in 1868 and educated at Cam

which Greenwich has taken in the eX-
ecution of the great International
Photographic survey of the heavens

But after the furniture was landed

business, the sanatorium in some way
became hotel with an annex to be
used as a sanatorium. The project took

investigation was ordere., and the
building was found to have gun cm-

was further revealed that nearly n
mile of land along the sea front had

 In the National league Pittsburg, league leaders dropped 4s points during the month. while New York gained 19 and was but 2 points be- hind the Pirates as the month passed out.
 Pittsburg's drop was due to less effective pitching, while New York s rise was due to better pitching and better all around playing.
 The Braves won IT of their 27 games while Pittsburg was able to cop but II of 27. The Giants did their winning in streaks. winning 20 and losing but II games.
 Pittshurg' chance to cross the pennant wire in front depends on it's pitchers. St. Louis, Chicago and New York, in the order named, stand above the Pirates in hitting power.

NEW YORK, Aug. 7.-The final third of the major league pennant races opens with the New York Americans leading the Cleveland worlds champions by one point and the Pittsburg Nationals drawing away slightly from the New York Giants. The spurts of the third place teams, the Washington Americans and the Boston Nationals. apparently have come to an end.
 In the American league, New York went into first place last week mainly because of Cleveland's worst slump of the season.
 Including today's victories their

 Washington. which dropped its last two games after winning eleven straight. has been playing the best game of the American teams. De- troit took series from New York by hard hitting, after losing four straight to Washington.
 St. Louis and Boston are beginning to hit again. Chicago is batting poorly and Philadelphia is playing well against all teams.
 In the National league, the Pitts burg twirlers are becoming effective again. New York went to pieces after being pulled down from it's joint pos session of first place with the Pirates. Boston pitchers were unable to check the western batters last week. yield ing an average of almost six runs a game. Brooklyn and St. Louis are fighting hard for fourth place.

 Carter has a bad ear that is just about ready to blossom into eauli- flower and he is taking no chances on the member getting any worse.
 In his recent bout with Freddie Hill the bad ear broke and Carter put the sore lobe under a doctors care. He is rather careful of his personal ap- pearance and will not take any chance on adding to the ring sears already imprinted on his head.
 Local fans who have been waiting for the Algert Carter bout will be dis appointed Friday, but can rest as sured that the show will be staged the week following.
