King Log Today

A Very remarkable picture, which
had a run Of three days at the Opera
House last month and has been the
subject of much newspaper comment
thruout the State of Maine as well
as other states, will again be shown
today and tomorrow at the Opera
House. 1t is THE Rider of the King
Log produced here in Augusta from
the pen of Holman Day. And with
this will be given wings of the
Border" with good comedy.
Practically all the scenes of king
Log are in and around Augusta and
many well known Augusta people APP
pear in the picture which took a
whole year to make. And with this
master-photoplay Swings of the
Border" in which the Governor of the
State plays the leading role. Gov
ernor Baxter occupies a central place
throughout much of the action.
There isn't a scene in either The
King Log which is seven reels and
wings Of the Border, a two reeler
in which the people of this section
are not interested for all were taken
in Augusta or in the kennebec valley
The pride that the management
takes in the presentation Of this eX-
cellent program again, is pride that
is perfectly justified as nearly 5000
persons saw it here and no doubt it
will be seen by 5000 more today and
tomorrow.
In length king Log" is seven
reels, and there is an elegant musical
score that is handled eXquisitely by
the Opera House orchestra under the
leadership of Ernest r. Hill. The
usual starting hours. and the same
prices will prevail during the en-
gagement-Adv.

I in good shape and are also giving
the farmers a fair show. The entire
State. practically, is also in good san
itary condition. l have found very
little watered milk for the past year
and very little skim milk. The far
mers are in many places fixing up
their milk rooms and building or re
pairing their tie-ups. This is due
largely to the fact that help is more
plentiful and cheaper than for some
time past and enables the farmers 10

Maine is in pretty good shape.
perhaps you remember that a Few
weeks ago the Department of AGri-
culture compiled a tentative set of

ing and testing of milk and cream.
That tentative set was sent broad

have the set complete. embodying

WinslOw's Wounded Bird a Hen

wounded bird on the bank of the
Scbasticook that puzzled everyone
who saw it, it most resembling an

Warden Fred Simpson, who in turn
notified the Inland Fisheries and
Game Department. He was instruct
ed to ship the bird to the depart
ment. which was done. Since that
day, the department has received
numerous inquiries about the bird.
even one government man visiting
the State museum with intent to see
il. 1t took but a glance at the bird
by Curator Thomas A. James to
recognize it's species, and for the
benefit Of the inquirers, he was asked
for the following statement:
The Winslow bird that was
thought to be an eagle was an os
prey or common fish hawk. 1t had
evidently been shot. as one wing had
/ been broken and partly healed: but
the bones had separated so that it
would have been impossible for it to
thave flown even if the flesh had
healed. Many reports have been in
the past received at this Office of
eagles being found killed or wounded
and very often investigation has
proven them to be fish hawks.
"One of the distinguishing features
OF the fish hawk is the color of the
feathers of the under part of the
birds, which are always white. The
eagle is always a dark brown or
nearly black. The eagle in the adult
plumage is dark brown in color. ex-
ccpt the head and tail, which are
pure white. The first t wo years
plumage, however. of the eagle Is
dark brown with some lighter
streaks in the tail, especially the
second year"

NAVY TEAM WINS
FORFEITED GAME

Navy Department took a forfeited
game from the Marine Corps team
of the Government League yester-
day when Umpire Woodward brought
hostilities to an end because of the
refusal of Capt. Graige. oficer in
charge of the Marines, to get on
the field.
2 The decision was received with
some "hooting." but there was a
noticeable lack of disorder.
At the time the game was called
the score stood 6 to 2 in favor of
Navy. Capt. Graige walked onto
the field during a dispute between
the umpire and a Marine player over
decisions on balls and strikes. De-
claring that he was not in base
ball uniform, the umpire ordered
him off and forfeited the game when
he refused to leave.
Following the game, the Marine
team entered a protest with Pres
ident w. C. Deane, of the league,
and requested that the forfeit be
set aside as illegal. according to the
constitution, and the game be re-
played. They also protested against
the further employment of Umpire
Woodward.
The Marines deny that Capt.
Craige used improper language to
the arbiter.

LAWYERS WRANGLE
IN SCANDAL CASE

CHICAGO, July 14.-work of Sc

White Sox and their alleged gambler
associates in the 1919 world series
was further delayed today by a
wrangle between attorneys over a
motion made yesterday by the de-
fense asking the State to produce
it's two witnesses-Big Bill Burns
and Joe Gedeon, former White Sox
and Washington player and one
time Keystone sacker of ST. Louis.
The State insists it has neither or
these men in custody, but the de-
fense insists Ban Johnson, president
of the American League, employed
the Pinkertons to hold them in Gus
tody and that they can be produced
at any time.
Judge Friend finally decided that
the defense might grill both wit
r'esses and secure an outline of their
testimony before the trial begins.

Final Reports on Tourney
Made at Meeting of

BY ROBERT G. sHAND.

President Harding put his officiai
stamp OF approval on the Columbia
course yesterday. Playing in four
some with Senator Frederick Hale,
of Maine; DIR. w. H. Wilmer, of
this city; and Michael Gallagher, of
Cleveland, an old friend of the Pres
iddent's. Mr.. Harding was tremen-
dously enthusiastic over the course
and it's condition.
Isn't that magnificent" was his
exclamation as he looked over the
course before teeing OF on the first
hole. A gallery did not follow the
President around the course, though
it was evident that spectators did
rot faze him In the least. for he
showed some sterling golf when In
view of over 100 onlookers on his
last three holes.
On the sixteenth hole he placed
beautiful chip shot only a few
feet from the pin, and missed a
birdie two by matter of inches
On the final hole, he laid another
chip shot close to the cup and holed
his putt. The gallery which had
gathered in front of the clubhouse
to watch the finish applauded this
feat vigorously. and the President
acknowledged with a cordial wave
of his hand.
The fact that the President
played out the entire eighteen holes
in spite of the intense heat was in
itself a tribute to his enthusiasm
over the course. He stated after
the match that he had made fifteen
good drives off the tee. and when
the President says good" he means
just that. Mr.. Harding said that
he had been challenged to a match
by Judge Taft, and hoped to be
able to play it at Columbia.
So far as contestants in the open
tournament are concerned. yester-
day was a dull day at Columbia.
The only new arrival was Joseph

A buffet supper was served after
the meeting.
Beginning Saturday morning, the
big guns" of golfdom will begin
to drift into Washington, and by
Sunday practically all the notables
will be on the scene. The three
days preceding the opening of the
tournament will see the pros"

cases for sizeable side bets. The
play on these days should be fully
as keen as in the tournament
proper.

from New York that President
Howard F. whitney, Secretary w.
