Benjamin Houser and his Bar Har-
Dor Nabobs are rather hopelessly out
of the running as far as the second
half Of the Maine State League is
concerned. But Ben's club hasn't
slipped as far as the box scores
would indicate. If Ben had won the
last half of The schedule after cop
ping the first half there wouldn't have
been any opponent to play with.
We're willing to predict that the
playoR will not be very easy for the
winners of the second half.
Just at the present Auto Pace the
little f1ier who made his rep in this
state last season has gone lame and
will probably be kept out of this
state for the rest of the season. The
PAGER is owned by a Bay State party
and after this accident the Bangor
Fair was sidetracked for Vermont,
where the PAGERS stablemate, Clean
ing Silk, will stand a better chance
Of cleaning up in the 2:14 trot.
Today Is the day that the Cony
gridders begin their training for the
coming season. The team will re-
ceive uniforms at the high school
this morning and in all probability
will start practice Immediately. There
is but one veteran and coach Pierce
does not know what condition mis-
men are in so the early start is about
the wisest plan to follow.

FORTUNES IN SIGHT
Mrs. Corson and Miss Ederle Likely
to Profit. from Feats

New York, Aug. 2s.-(P)-swim-
ming the English channel is consid-
cred a shortcut to fortune for the
first two women who accomplished
the feat.
Gertrude Ederle, the first OF her
six to swim the treacherous waters
has had offers of exhibition engage
ments which indicate that she may
expect to earn $100O,00O in return
for the IA hours and 81 minutes she
spent In battling the waters which
had defeated all previous women as
pirants.
While Mrs. Clemington Corson
was not known to have received any
offers a few hours after her con-
quest of the channel today, records
Of the earnings of great professional
athletes in this country were con-
sidered as giving assurance that she
can. if she wishes, realize big returns
for her 10 hours and % minutes of
work In swimming the channel.
Vaudeville booking agents and pro-
moters of professional sports are al
ways eager to engage athletes OF
either sex who gain widespread pop
ular notice.
Wagers placed on either Miss
Ederle or Mrs. Corson also were
good financial propositions. Walter
Lissberger, who backed Mrs. Cor
son, won 100000 by placing $4,000
bet with Lloyds of London that she
would swim the channel. He said
he would give her $4,000 of his win
nings. Henry Ederle, father of
Gertrude. was reported to have won
a large amount by placing wager
that his daughter would conquer the
channel. On his return home yester-
day he denied this, but other men,
bers Of the family said he had bet
on "Trudy." though they did not say
how much.
Mr.. Lssberger said Mrs. Corson
suent only $1,000 on her training and
