FOURTH OF JULY
CHAMPION YANKEES BOW TO
SENATORS TWICE; BRAVES
TAKE TWO FROM NEW
YORK GIANTS
Especial to The CitiEen)

NEW YORK, July 5.-The
Washington Senators dampened
the spirits of the New York
Yankees when the Mats took both
games of double bill from the
New Workers before a holiday
crowd of 77,365. The double vie
tory achieved sent the Senators
two a half games in front of the
Yanks. Babe Ruth knocked out
his eighteenth home run of the
season in an effort to help his
team, but this was to no avail so
far as coping the game.
The Red Socks were also in for
taking everything in sight, and
downed the Mackmen In both tits
of their doubleheader, when they
exploded lots of Independence Day
fireworks in the form of base hits.
The St. Louis Browns divided
hOnors with the Detroit Tigers in
a two-ply affair, the Tigers TAX
ing the opener. CampbelPs homer
in the concluding inning of the
second game, which was the tenth,
gave the St. Louis club a 6 to 5
victory.
The Cleveland Indians and the
Chisox took one apiece in their
double contest. The Indians,
therefore, maintain their half
game lead over the White Sox for
fourth place.
The Boston Braves won twice
from the New York Giants, scalp
ing the league-leading New York
ers to and 8 to s. The games
were featured by the hitting Of
Wally Berger and the pitching of
Ben Cantwell.
The st. Louis Cardinals and the
Pittsburgh Pirates split their
double, contest, the st. Louis club
taking the opener s to 1. The
score in the night cap was 4 to 2.
The Phillies took both games of
their holiday contests from the
Brooklyn Dodgers with Chuck
Klein hitting his seventeenth home
run of the season in the opening
game.
The Chicago Cubs. and the Gin
cinnati Reds divided honors in
their doubleheader. The games
were witnessed by $4,000 fans.

He was not sure his work would get
results, but the odds favored it. The
clue he was after almost had to be in
that trading post, for there was no sta
ton between Russian Lake and the Yu-
kon, and none nearer than Fort Nelson
on the Lizard.
Through the pitch dark he felt along
the counter to the rear and found the
desk where Higginbotham kept his
books. He had secuted out the store
thoroughly that evening and knew the
exact ledger that he wanted. His fin

The record started with June 1st OF
the previous Summer, and ran for ex-
actly one year. Every transaction of the
store, whether cash, trade or debt, had
been entered by the methodical factor
Several of the months were scahty, 9TH

BY interpreting the little human Stor'
les behind the entries, Curt could re-
construct almost every happening al

became familiar with names, people
their occupations, the events in then
lives.

Curt selected four names as meritint

With his suspicion definitely focused,
Curt turned again to the beginning OF
the record and started down across the
LIE Noir transactions, scrutinizing each
item. In August the fellow had been

NEW PLAYING CARD
IMMUNE TO SHARPS|
Austrian Invention Won't

or Hold Marks.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, December 1-Playing
cards that apparently always stay new,
clean, fiat and smooth and are immune
to the markings of sharps are in
triguing Ely CulbertSons interest.
Culbertson has been trying a few
sample decks submitted to him by an
Austrian inventor and wondering about
the possible revoluti0nizing of great
American industry which has sold &c.
100000 packs in year and has found
Its revenue decreased only by D per cent
in recent times,
In contract and other games at clubs
there usually are new packs when a
game starts. Players like the feel Of
cards that have not been used. They
slip more easily There is thrill in
playing with new ones. They afford no
possibility of players recognizing cards
from markings which they acquire un-
der ordinary usage. Some clubs pay as
much as $50 a month for new cards at
wholesale prices. Poker players, in
particular, make a fetish Of new decks
Culbertson took deck of one of the
superior makes of cards in general use
and one, of the Austrian decks and he

turn.
An ordinary card was doubled up.
Forthwith it was done forever for use
in a garne. The Austrian card snapped
back to its pristine smoothneSs. A
corner of an ordinary card was bent,
ending its career. The Austrian card
flattened out as soon as hands were off
A drink was spilled on an ordinary

brushes on the table cloth after 1t was
taken out and it was ready for use
again.
Markings with pen or pencil on the
Austrian card we're erased easily by
rubbing. 1t resisted attempts to PIN
prick it. 1t would not burn any faster
than any ordinary card. Dirt vanished
in dealing or other friction.
The material they are made of is a
secret The only specific commercial
aspect Culberson knew was that largely
owning to the tariff the card could not
sell for less than four or five times the
average variety of good cards now in

,, i This rain is our good luck
everybody'll be indoors"
They stepped outside. The rain still
beat down. but the thunderheads with
their livid flashes had passed on east, SO
that there was no danger of the light
ming betraying them. The cabins and
Indian tepees were all dark.
They went out the path to the bay
establishment. The store, 20 steps from
Higginbotham'S residence, was entirely
dark but to Curtis disappointment there
was a light in the house. From win
dow on the north side a yellow shaft
streamed out into the rainy blackness.
Leaving Paul at the fur press, he
circled around to the north side and
crept up behind cord of wood. He
dared not rise and look over the rick.
the light would glisten on his wet slicker
and give him away. Feeling about with
his fingers, he located a loose stock,
pulled it out and made an aperture large
enough to peer through.
The room was Sonya Nichols. With
/, a chair drawn close to the window,
Sonya was looking out into the night,
on the dresser turned her hair to a mass
of thin-Spun gold and lighted up the
soft roundness of her arms and shoul-
ders- She seemed too moody for sleep.
Less than 10 feet away from her, Curt
felt guilty for intrudlng on her privacy.
but the expression on her face arrested
him and he continued to watch. Evi-
IDENTITY she thought herself alone with the
night. and SO made no effort to hide her
feelings, as she normally did. She
seemed bitterly unhappy and worried,
but the thing that struck him most for
chilly was her hard-set purposiveneSS
Seldom fooled in such matters. he
knew that something wrong, badly
wrong, lay behind her tragic reveries At
the moment, pressed by his own work
and the need of hurry, he could not
pause there long; but the incident left
its impression on him.
Around with Paul again, he whis-
pered:
ITS all right: we won't be bothered
I'll go into the trading store myself
You stay here and keep guard. If any
one shows up, give that cluck of the
