everybody, but Mike Martin, expert

Roaring Lyons in the opening game
Of the series here. Ruether didn't
even limp much on his lame leg,

his fault that the champions did

the best he could do in the third.

-Four hits came off Lyons stuff,

two come together and Ruether's
single was wasted after Bluege had
scored. In the eighth. in other
words, the Chicago pitcher was in
fine fettle and deserved his victory

The White Sox gathered eight hits,
three in the opening round that
saw them hang up their victory.
Once Ruether got the range he was
invinciblc and no more runs came
In.
II was dull game played before
a small crowd scared away by
threatening skies. The White Sox
think themselves likely TO make a

don't agree with them. The remain

proceeding wonderfully well, ana
Pennington is soon to have a real
band again. The death of Mr.. Wheeler
was real setback, and the dropping
out of old members and the lack or

keep the band alive at that time, but
new material has come to town, some
of the former old members have re-
awakened interest, and band OF 26

Live and let live" he remarked
when advised to take this step.
More than once Nellie has been in
vited to lend his name and brains to
concerns engaged in the wholesale
manufacture of snowshoes, but always
he has turned down the offers. He
has been content to continue his home
industry. putting in the finishing
touches on his products by lamplight
in his old-fashioned kitchen.
His only advertisements have been
the snowshoes themselves. A man in
Nevada has bought pair of the shoes
or perhaps it is trapper in Ontario.
He finds them satisfactory and tells
his friends about them. Enough or
ders develop in this way to keep Mel
lie busy. A few years ago a wolf
hunter in Idaho ordered pair Of
snowshoes. Last year he sent for an
other pair and this mouth he has sent
q third order.
That was the way Nellie came in
contact with Rear Admiral Robert
f. Peary. The Arctic explorer some
twenty years ago heard a Portland
woman remark that she had sent to
Nellie Durham for a pair of snow
shoes because her husband had
found that he couldn't wear out =
pair he had obtained from the same
source. Peary sent letter to Nellie
asking him to bring a pair of his
snowshoes to Portland. That letter
hangs back of the kitchen clock in
the Durham farmhouse.
Nellie complied with the request
and spent day at the explorers
summer home on Eagle Island in
Casco Bay. Peary explained that he
wanted a longer and narrower
snowshoe than he had been using in
his northern trips and also one with
greater total area. Nellie went
home and designed a special snow
shoe according to these specifca-
