TUG RIVER BRIDGE
AT WARFIELD, KY.
BIG CELEBRATION AT KERMIT
q WAKEFIELD WIEN BRIDGE
WAS OPENED.

On last Saturday the new bridge be-
tween Kermit, w. Va. and Warfield,
KY, 28 miles southeast of Louisa. was
formally opened for traffic. The oc-
casion was made quite an eventful
time by celebration.
The Martin County Advertiser is
sued a special edition and we give be-
low some facts taken from IT.:
The Kermit Warfield Bridge Com
pany was organized two years ago by
about ten of the owners of coal lands
and coal operators having interests in.
mines in and about Warfield and Ker-
NIT with a capital stock OF $125.0O0.
1t was not until after the beginning
Of the work that the company found
II had greatly underestimated the cost
of the bridge and S25, 900 additional
stock and $125,0o0 in bonds were issued
to meet the increase of expenditures
over the first estimate. The Himler
Coal Company took over practically
all the stock and the remaining stock
holders absorbed the bond issue. This
gives the Himler Coal Company a
controlling interest in the company.
This is the most expensive and the
heaviest bridge ever built across Tug
River and cost 100000.
The following men are the officials
of the company: d. e. Hewitt, presi-
dent, Martin Himler, vice president,
+. j. Lang. treasurer, and w. M. Hale,
secretary.
The Himler Coal Company was first
organized some four years ago by a
few parties having certain objects in
view. Aside from the primary purpose
OF mining coal, these objects were two
in number.
First, il was to be a test OF the ideal
of cooperation between Labor and
Capital in khe carrying on OF the in
dustries of the country, and, Second,
ii was plan for the Americanization
of foreigners.
Mr.. Martin Himler, owner and pub
lation in New York City, was the lead
er in the movement and was elected
president of the company
The company was first organized
with a capital of $4,000 and its first
operation was at Himler, w. Va, on
the old line of the Norfolk & Western
railroad Certain conditions prevailed
there preventing the company from
carrying on as large an operation as 1t
desired and its officials began TO look
about for a location favorable to a
larger enterprise. They were told of
the famous Warfield seam Of coal land,
after investigating found it to be the
very thing for their purpose.
They first secured a lease of twelve
hundred acres from the Berger In
terest of Cincinnati which they have
since increased to three thousand

some GOOD PURSES
FOR HARNESS RACES
Trottina Championship, the Biggest Race
of the 1921 Circuit, to Be Held.
r,EVEIAND

CLEVELAND. Aug. Two great
fields of harness horses will contest for
the chief attractions at the grand circuit
meeting at North Randall opening today.
These events are the $4,000 free-for-a1l
trot, which will name the trotting cham
pion of the harness world in the biggest
race of the 1921 grand circuit. and the
$4,000 championship stallion stakes for
three year old colts and fiIlies of the
trotting species.
Among % entries in the free-for all trot
are Periscope, E. Colorado, Greyworthy.
Jeanette Rankin. Ante Guy Arion Nc
Kinney. Baron Gigantic, Brusiloff, Char
ley Rex, CONT. CALI Curci, Mile Irwin,
Peter Coley, Media, Walnut Frisco and
McGregor the Great.
e. Colorado won one division of the
Ohio stake with ease from good field
in the opening grand circuit meet at
North Randall the week of July 4, while
Jeanette Rankin, during the same meet
ing, won the Tavern steak about as
easily. Both repeated their triumphs in
stakes at the recent Toledo meeting.
Periscope won the trotting sweepstakes
at the July North Randall meeting, set
ting a seasons mark, and repeated at
Toledo, Peter Cpley standing second in
both events Greyworthy won a race at
North Randall in July but lost at Toledo.
In the championship stallion stake.
Tommy Murphys entry, Rose Scott and
Eunice Bell, are well thought of. Rose
Scott was the champion two year old of
1920, while Eunice Bell, on her races at
North Randall and Toledo this season,
looks like a formidable contender.
Other entrants are Bogalussa, Marge
the Great, Geers, Peter Election, Miss
willoughby and Peter Plato. Altogether
there are some so eligibles in this race.

new YORK LEADING
AMERICAN LEAGUE
Holding First Place by One Point.
Washington Playing Best Game.

NEW YORK, Aug. THE final
third of the major league pennant races
opens with the New York Americans
leading the Cleveland worlds cham
pions 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,
the percentages are: New York .622 IS;
Cleveland 621.36. The Indians have
batted in only IA runs in the past seven
games and Manager Speaker has been
kept busy changing pitchers. The
Yankees slowed up after the Cleveland
series, and. with the exception of Mays,
the pitchers are going none too we'll
although Collins held Chicago to one
hit today in q five inning contest.
Washington, which dropped its past
two games after winning eleven
straight, has been playing the best
game of the American teams. The
Senators batted and f1elded well and
last week the pitchers yielded an aver
age of slightly more than two runs
game. Detroit took a 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 Philadel-
phia. despite its low position, is play
ing well against all teams.
In the National League, the Pitts
burg twirlers are becoming effective
and have been aided by good batting.
New York went to pieces after, being
pulled down from its joint possession
of first place with the Pittsburg Pr
rates. The New York and Boston
pitchers were unable to check the
western batters last week, the Brave
twirlers yielding an average Of almost
six runs a game. Brooklyn and st.
Louis are fighting hard for fourth
place. The Chicago and Philadelphia
moundsmen are unsteady while Gin
cinnati, with fair pitching, has dropped
several close games.

WHO POSSESSES
THE LEECH CUP
Historic and Magnificent Rifle Tro-
ply Has Been. Missing
Since 1918.
(By KENDRICK SCOFIELD)
Asso. Ed. Arms and the Man.


The cooperation of all American
riflemen is asked in an effort to locate
the Leech Cup, the Oldest and most
famous Of the National Rifle associa-
ton trophies. The whereabouts of
this magnificent and historic prize
have been unknown since 1918.
Since the disappearance of the tro-
ply became known, persistent efforts
have been quietly made by the Ma
tional Rifle association with the hope
that whoever holds the trophy or who
is responsible for it's loss could be
located, but so far all efforts have
been unavailing.
1t is possible that widespread pub
lefty may accomplish where private
effort has failed, and with this idea
in view, we present to all members of
the National Rifle association and all
friends Of rifle shooting. these facts:
During the International Rifle
matches held at Camp Perry, Ohio in
1913, the Leech cup was on exhibition
with other N. r. A trophies. It was
won that year by Captain George
Chesley, but Captain Chesley refused
to accept the trophy owing to the fact
that bond was required to guaran-
tee its safe keeping, a matter of form
and protection demanded Of the win
ner Of any valuable trophy to be held
temporarily.
The Cup Disappears. =
It has been impossible to learn def
initeIy just what Lieut.. A. S. Jones,
then secretary Of the n. R. A, did
with the Leech cup following Ches-
ley's refusal to accept it under the
specified conditions, but it IS pre-
sumed that the trophy was boxed
for shipment to Washington. The cup
disappeared and has not been seen
or heard of since.
The next competition for the Leech
cup was held at Black Point, Florida,
during the 1915 National Matches. The
trophy was not on hand for presen-
tation when the prizes were awarded
and so far as can be learned no eff
fort had been made to locate it, either
before or after these matches.
In 1915, when Brigadier General
Fred H. Phillips became secretary of
the National Rifle association, he in
stituted a search for the missing
trophy, writing to previous winners,
and others concerned in the matter.
but to date he has been unsuccessful
in his efforts.
It seems utterly improbable that a
trophy as magnificent as the Leech
cup would be destroyed for the rela-
lively small value of the silver used
in its construction, and it is the be-
lief of persons interested in its re-
covery that the trophy is still in ex-
istence in its original form.
1t may have been taken away from
the 1918 matches by mistake by some
winning rifle or pistol team or indi-
vidual competitor, and may be at pres
ent on exhibition in the trophy cab
met of some club or organization, or
1t may be in the collection of some
trophy collector or dealer In antiques.

Locals Come Back Strong and Win
DEFEAT GULFPORT
BY SCORE OF 4 TO z
After the First Inning Thorpe, Pitcher
for Pensacola, Was in No Danger.
(By TOM JOHNSON)

After losing three straight to An
dalusia the locals came back strong
yesterday and defeated Gulfport 4 TO
2. The boys played jam up ball all
during the game and the fact that
only two measly errors were chalked
up against them and that eleven Gulf
port runners were left stranded on
the base paths speaks well for the de-
fensive work of the regulars in yes
terday's game.
The Gulfport boys seemed to be
tired out after their long trip over
from Gulfport and did not play as
good ball as they did on their last
appearance here, however, Manager
Showers says that three of his men
could not make the trip and this
weakened the team considerably, how
ever, he does not offer this as an
errors and these couped with hits
when hits were needed spelt defeat
for the Gulfport "Jax."
Thorpe, a big right handler from the
Georgia State league, pitched for tbs
locals and turned in a nice exhibit
ton Of pitching. The big fellow
seemed to be off little in the first
inning when the first man up singled
and the next two went out and he hit
the next man and walked the next fill
ing the bases, but Long John Show
ers popped to Geist ending the inning
after this Thrope got warmed up good
and was never in any real danger the
rest of the game.
The locals scored in the fourth, Viii
lar walked, Sanchez singled and Viii
lar went to third on the hit, Smith
hit to the pitcher and Sanchez thought
it was a fly ball and ran back for the
base meanwhile Smith was on the
base when Frentz missed the throw
and Sanchez who was run down be-
tween first and second, and while all
the fumbling was going on Silk came
home Thorpe was safe when Osinach
choosed to play for Smith at second,
Scarritt got his third hit of the game
and Thorpe went to second, then to
third on wild pitch and scored when
Dan Showers let Williams roller get
away from his. The locals scored
again in the fifth and in the eighth.
Long John Showers, who played
center field for Gulfport scored both
of the runs credited with his team.
He was given an ovation every time
he came to the plate by the fans. John
was one of the most popular players
whoever wore a Pensacola uniform.
Harry Scarritt starred at bat, get
ting four hits out of five times at bat,
one of them a double into right cen
ter.
Ike Craddock played a fine game at
first The cowboy was especially good
on fielding hunts which were knocked
his way, also knocked down a hot
liner off Goodsons bat. Lars Sanchez
at third also played fine, accepting
five chances without error. one Of
them being a line drive which brought
the big third sacker a big APPLAUSE.
Rex Farrior, who was supposed to
play for the locals yesterday, wired
President Burgoyne that he missed
his train and was sorry he could not
get here In time.
