Gorgeous George" Marshall closed

son here with a wicked. flourish at
the Arcade. Gorgeous George" is
adept at putting on the frills and
furbeloughs, and the game with the
original Celtics, ending 81 to 90 in
favor of the Celts, was attended by
numerous outside attractions.
For example, there was a spirited
and damaging bout between Nat
Holman and Buddie Bushman. One
Of them claimed the other had
fouled him grievously. Two socks
on the jaw, a lot of holding, and
finally a punch in the midriff of
Mr.. Holman was the total Of the
blows struck. But it was interest
ing while it lasted. Bushman won
on points.
Joe Deering and his checkered
Knockers were the first to run int
trouble. Celtics complained and re-
fused to play with him as referee.
Then Joe Fitzgerald refused to ref
cree alone and Deering had to go
in. Cy. Mcdonald held his sweater.

fouls. Had the team been able to

Yes sir. if the Prince Of

over in the shadow of Foggy
Bottom tonight, the tiff wouldn't
be garnished with more mayon-
naise, high-buttoned spats, low
cut vests and medium boiled

The presence of the British
ambassador lends plenty OF dog
to the occasion. And II it's
good enough for him to risk
an eye upon, who we to deny
ourselves the privilege OF
peeping?
But even his excellency, the
British plenipotentiary, doesn't
make an audience by himself,
unless you count his staff Of
secretaries, Intermediates, court
testers and Eyes" men who &C
company him everywhere.
However, he makes a pretty
good nucleus wherever ,mobs
foregather, and those who don't
care for boxing should come to
the Auditorium, if it is only to
see what a diplomat looks like
with his elbows at ease.

FOREST FIRES KILL ELK AND DEER
 IN OLYMPICS
THREE MEN ARE FOUR DAYS WITHOUT FOOD OR WATER,
 TRAPPED BY FLAMES

PORT TOWNSEND, Aug. fl (E9- It is reported that three men lost all their clothing and were four days without food or water when they were trapped by forest fire in the United States forest reserve on the Olympic peninsula. The first meal they had consisted of a deer killed after it had been crippled by falling tree. The trio were badly burned when found.
 They report hundreds of deer killed by the flames. In one creek the car casses of thirty deer and several elk were found.
 Forest fires have been raging the past three weeks on the peninsula and owing to the vast territory, it has been impossible up to the present time for the rangers to cope with the flames.
 Numerous ranches and farms have been burned over by the fire.
