to go hungry for league baseball the
early part of August. The Indians
leave to-morrow for Rochester and

day, August 14. Richmond will be
the first attraction next month with a
double-header.
With the exception of Sundays, and
two rainy days. Harrisburg has had
continuous baseball since July 2.
It is. National game history for Har
risburg. The attendance for the eigh
teen days, in round figures, is 40,000.
It is a new record for crowds in Har
risburg. A general opinion prevailed
that this city would not stand for too
much baseball at outstretch. This
opinion has been knocked sky high.
Good Games in August
The August schedule will include
20 games, and special exhibitions con
tests with major league teams. -Pres
ident Thomas Fogarty of the local
team is busy on a schedule that will
bring extra games during August and
September. The last month of the
season does not offer much for Har
risburg, according to the schedule,
but there will be plenty of sport if
present plans of President Fogarty are
carried out. Should the Indians make
any further headway In the chase for
the pennant while on the road, it is
certain that more games will be trans
ferred to this city.

WORLD'S TITLE IN !
BALTIMORE BATTLE
Kid Williams Meets Jimmy Tay
lor; Fifteen-Round Bout
With Decision
Special to The Telegraph
Baltimore, Md„ July 24. Not since
the days of the Horton law In New
York has a championship ring battle
been decided In the East. This after
noon at Terrapin Park, Kid Williams,
the world's bantamweight champion,

Boston, Mass.. July 24. The trouble

Is said to have punched Evers, claiming
that the latter nad stepped on his foot,
was apparently smoothed over yester

One Paige Distributor
Sells 232 Sixes in July
Chicago's demand on the Paige-
Detroit Motor Car Company for July
deliveries of the 1916 edition of the
Paige Big Six totals 232 cars. That
many buyers are now clamoring in
the office of the Chicago distributor
for immediate delivery and there Is
every indication that this selling pace
will be greatly Increased before the
season is much further advanced.
"The Chicago situation is only one
incident In the selling rush that set in
immediately following our recent an
nouncements," said Henry Krohn,
sales manager of the Paige-Detroit
Motor Car Company. "We have been
absolutely overwhelmed with orders,
telegrams, telephone calls and visits
from eager dealers. It is the biggest
demand, the keenest and most insist
ent, in our history. The orders are for
both our seven-passenger Big Six and
our new model, the five passenger
Light Six.
"In view of this extraordinary brisk
selling we feel that we can Justly
claim to have two big hits on our
hands."
How to Ascertain Tire
Cost Per Mile Traveled
If motorists would divide their tire
cost by the mileage they receive from
the casing and find Just what It costs
them per mile, there would doubtless
ibe many surprises. The operation of
an automobile should be a business
I proposition with every car owner, and
yet it seems that only business con
cerns trouble themselves to ascertain
by simple mathematics Just which is
the best tire for them to buy.
The manufacturers of Diamond
Tires recently received a letter from
the Portland Taxicab Company ad
vising that they had ascertained that
their Diamond Tires cost them three
and a half tenths of a cent per mile,
and that other tires which chanced to
give a trifle more mileage were more
expensive because of the higher
original investment.
It is probable that the tire cost for
I the average motor car owner is con-
I siderably less than the above since
; taxicab companies are notably hard on
I tires, but no driver should neglect to
I ascertain accurate tire cost for him
self.

the best of the game except in the two
innings when the unexpected happen
ed. In fielding. Providence had noth
ing on Harrisburg. While errors fig

Tener Satisfied, but
Gaffney Is Not Suited
Boston. Mass., July 24.—President;

Boston for Salisbury Beach last even- i
Ing without making any statement as |
to what he is going to do in regard to j
the trouble between Umpire Quigley |
and Captain Evers. From what he |
said to President Gaffney about the
men shaking hands, it would seem j
that he is willing to let the matter
drop, but this does not suit Gaffney,
who remarked that "it does not close
the matter" with him.
Tener had a talk with Evers and
! Quigley after the game and both ex
. pressed their regret that their trouble
had been so serious and said they were
willing to forget it. This pleased
Tener. who said to Gaffney: "You saw
them shake hands, didn't you? They

victim of circumstances over which he i
had really no control and against 1
which he made frequent, noisy and .
I futile protest.
He got his feet wet.
11ns .Vero-I*n>ppllcr
These are the facts. The placing j
into commission of the Harrisburg
Light and Power Company's island
wharf and the abandonment of the
| Market street temporary landing has
made it necessary for the fleet admiral
to have access to the wharf more
readily than per trolley: furthermore,
he must keep in closer touch with the
units of his fleet. Wireless has not
yet been installed and the fireman and
general utility man of the flagship has
that he'll be jiggered if he's
got time to do any wig-waggin'. So
the n.otorboat, built by the crew and
| driven by means of a big screw aero
piopeller attached to an upright in
tht rear, was put into commission.
All would have gone well had not
the horses developed the playful
streak. The plan of the launching
was simple. The negro wag expected
to drive Into water of sufficient depth
to permit the boat to take the water,
then to turn around and come right
out again. But just then the horses
stepped off a high.place in the river
bed and they promptly started a play
ful gallop into deep water. By the
time they'd finished the boat was
swinging easily and freely on the
bosom of the Susquehanna detached
from all relation to. the dray—except
in so far as the driver's job was con
cerned. The driver, astraddle the
bows and aloof from his fellow-man,
dubiously watched the waters creep
higher and higher. "Ah. man!" he
wailed. "Ah jes' KNOW dat aftah all
Ah's goin' to git mah feet WET!"
Eventually Admiral Brown had to
fire up and steam down with the flag
ship to the rescue. While trying to
couple up his boat struck the partially
submerged brake-lever which stuck
above the water's surface like a peri
scope. So a board was knocked loose
from the deck with the nicety of clever
torpedo work.
And the driver DID get his feet wet.

JANE COWL, I\ "THE (iAIU)K.V OF
MES" AT THE VICTORIA TODAY
For the first time in this city we pre
sent "The Garden of Lies," featuring
that brilliant Broadway star, Jano
Cowl. "The Garden of Lies" is a grip
ping dramatic novelt from the pen of
Justus Miles Forman, and Jane Cowl
is conceded to be one of the most beau
tiful women who ever graced the stage.
Her beauty is well shown to advantage
in "The Garden of Lies" because she
wears some of the most gorgeous cos
tumes ever used in the making of a
screen play. The story of the play—
Eleanor, an American girl, marries
Prince Karl, heir apparent to a mythi
cal principality. She starts on' her
honeymoon In an automobile. The auto
is wrecked in a vivid scene and Eleanor
loses all memory of her husband's
name and position. During her conse
quent mentnl illness she calls piteously
for her husband, though It is apparent
that she does not recall his personality.
On the advice of physicians, Stephen
Mallory, a soldier of fortune, is called
on to appear at her bedside as her
husband. They fall in love, Eleanor
supnoslrg Mallory to be her husband,
nnd from then on the action moves
fast and furious and includes several
spirited fights.—Advertisement.

PAXTANG PARK
That Manager Davis Intends to main
tain the high standard of excellence
! that has characterized the vnude'-ill*
l performances at the Paxtang Park
1 Theater this season. Is clearly Indicated
jby the fact that he has booked the
' famous Olympla Deswal and his wan-
I derful troup of trained horses and
i.doffs, as a headllner for next w«ek.
I This is probably the most elaborate,
as well as the most beautiful animal
I act that has ever appeared at Paxtang.
1 Twenty dogs and horses made up Mr.
I Deswal's company and a carload of
scenery and paraphernalia Is used In
I mounting the act. The animals not
j only perform many stunts that seem
i hardly credible to animal Intelligence,
i but they have been taught to group
I themselves In tableau posei that make
a worthy pretense o the artistic.
