300 Passengers Are
Safely Removed After
Boat Strikes Reef

BATH, Me-, Sept. 3.-Three hun
bred passengers were taken in boats
from the stranded steamer City of
Rockland early today to Dix island
and given shelter in cottages on the
island while awaiting the arrival of
another steamer to take them back
to Bath where they planned to re-
sumo their journey to Boston by
train.
The steamer had two holes
punched in her hull by reef near
the island on which she struck.
The steamer bound from Bath for
Boston with passenger list made
up largely of persons who had been
spending vacations in Maine, hit the
reef off the mouth of the Kennebec
river during a heavy fog. 1t was
thought best as a matter of precau-
ton to remove the passengers.

Margin
NIP AND TUCK
ALL WAY THROUGH

Friends Central of Philadelphia,
earned a chance for the Intercity
League championship by defeating
the Wilmington Friends quintet
yesterday afternoon by a count of
81 to &C. The game was played on
the Philadelphlans' court.
The Central passers, although
minus the services OF Lindsay. the
star recently declared ineligible by
the league officials, played a brill
liant game. They were forced to
in order to win.
With the start OF the game Will
mington jumped into an eight-point
lead and il appeared as though the
loss of Lindsay would prove fatal.
However, another star supplanted
the absent one. Captain Howell an
swered the emei gency with four
straight field goals, giving his team
a tie.
Before the FIST half ended the
lead had changed hands twice, the
intermission finding the visotors
temporarily holding the advantage
with the score OF IS to II.
Hallowell was again the hero al
the critical moment in the final
period and shot his seventh
field goal OF the fray. aWhen
Richter added a foul with only four
minutes to go the game appeared to
be safely slowed away in Central's
favor But the fans counted without
Moore. who almost ruined the game
at this point
Twice Moore came under the net
and shot perfect field goals that
brought the score up to 1925 in favor
of Friends Central with barely
minute to play. A foul was called
on the Wilmington team and Halo
well came through with the toss
that gave his team victory.
Only a few seconds later Moore
was given two tries at the foul line
as the result of personal foul and
when he made the first try the score
was again within one point of the
Central total. Once more he stepped
10 the mark to try for the point that
would tie the count, but in the ex-
element he was not equal to the oc-
casion and the ball merely trimmed
the basket
The ball was put into play. but
before another shot could be made
