LAKE ST. LOUIS RACE
Montreal, Que . July 26. The sloop
Bootlegger of St. Paul. Minn., today
won the trophy defended toy boats
entered by the (loyal St. Lawrence
yacht club, taking first place for a
second time in the international races
on Lake St. Louis. Freebooter, its
companion entrant from St. Paul,
again finished second. This gave the
Yankees a point victory over the Ca
nadian sloops Bed Patch and Beaver,
14 to 6.
Bootlegger covered the thirteen
mile windward and return course tie
day in 1:35:05. Freebooter, which
crossed the starting line eight sec
onds astern of its companion, finish
ed one minute and three and one half
second later.
Beaver came in third, a little more
than a minute later, and Red Patch
finished last, nearly ten minutes after
Bootlegger hud bean bailed as the
victor. At times during the last leg
it seemed that the Beaver might
wrest the second position from Free
booter. After the yachts squared away for
tho run before tho wind towards the
finish line the Beaver remained in
fhlrd position and the second Canad
ian, boat always was a considerable
distance in the rear.
Weather conditions gave the boat
men everv opportunity to demonstrate
their skill. Half a gale blew tho
lake and the water was covered with
whltocaps.

FAMOUS ENGLISH RACE HORSE
Eclipse, Bred by the Duke of Cumber

His Generation.
Thai celebrated race horse. Eclipse,
which died Feb. 28, ITS'.), Ut the ripe
age of '-'" years, received his name on
account of bis belt g born during an
eclipse of the sun, and it became curi
ously significant and appropriate when
in mature life he was found to pass
all contemporary horses as regarding
speed.
Eclipse Was bred by the I Hike of
Cumberland, o brother of George HI,

Dennis O'fCelly, win, on ins death be
queathed tin- animal, along with n
Ids brood mares and nlhcr horses, to
his brother l'l.ilip. For many years
Eclipse lived in retirement from the
turf, but was In oilier ways a source
of considerable revenue to his nwuer
on account of the many visitors who
came to see the renowned hero of l lii
race track who was passing bis Inst
days ut Clay Hill netir Epsom.
In those days It was not the custom
to Insure the lives of animals, ami
the fact that Eclipse was Insured for
an enormous sum only made his popu
larity the greater. When it became
necessary to remove him lie was so
worn nut that a carriage had to Ik;
especially constructed to carry him.
The secret of his Immense success
was revealed by the SUtopsy, when it
was discovered thai his heart was of
unusual size, as it weighed thirteen
pounds.- ( !hlQBJCO Journal.

BASEBALL GOSSIP

ROMINE AND HIS PALS HERE
SUNDAY TO DECIDE CHAMPION
SHIP OF LIVINGSTON AND LA
SALLE COUNTIES.
At the present time, baseball gossip
at sporting Headquarters is ut its
highest pitch, regarding the coming
game between Pontlac and the Ottawa
Cubs, next Sunday afternoon at tho
North side lot. A continuous buzz
one that seemingly always has the
name Pontiac and Romine attached to
it, can he beard at various points

of $100 to f70 that the locals will de
feat the Poatiao Athletics. In others
they have offered 2 o 1 and several
others have placed good sized sums
at 3 to 1 odds.
At Pontiac, according to several lo
cal residents who have been in that
city within the past, several rays, fans
are stoutly hacking their team and
there seems to be a horde of "kab

in the .Sunday battle. Pontiac fans
aro dead sure that their team will
win and that they will band I 'nun's
nine a handsome defeat
Spirit such as is reigning in both Ot
tawa and Pontiac is just the thing for
such a game. A lot of opposition
and good backing by fans of their
team will make next Sunday's battle
one of the closest and best ever
staged on the local diamond. The
game no doubt will attract a record
breaking at tendance.
When Pontiac played here earlier in
the season the locals handed Pitcher
Komine, lormer 1 hree-Kyo leaguer, an
awful trouncing. The locals proved
the superior team, but when they went
I to Pontiac, they were given a "raw"
Pel. Ideal in every way. empires, Pontiac
manager and anybody else concerned
in the game in any way did their best
to give Dunn's men the worst of the
deal. Poor sportmansbip on the
part of tin- reformatory city players
and umpires reigned supreme that
(lay but next Sunday, before a real
crowd of Ottawa fans and playing un
der tin) decisions of two of the best
limps in the state, Pontiac won't get
very far with the fast local club.
Talk of a Jolfet Standard-Ottawa
Cubs game also has reached tho top
most point in local baseball discus
sious. Fans are very eager and are
anxiously awaiting the day that .Mana

Zime's Standards have been booked

HERMAN REGAINS
LOST BANTAM TITLE
Brooklyn, N. Y., July 26. .pete Her
man regained the bantamweight,
championship of the world by clearly
outpointing Joe iDynch In fifteen
rounds at Bbbetts' Retd last night.
Tho Judges lost no time at. the end
in awarding tho verdict to Herman.
Herman was Dynch's master in near
ly every round.
Tie weight of both noys was an
nounced as lit! pounds. In the very
first round Herman stepped right out
and rapped Joseph with a series of
left and right smashes to tho face.

a game of kings and princes. Kings
of England and kings of Prance vied

It, whilst the courts of both countries
followed tin! royal lead. The faithful
Pepya is peculiarly faithful In his ref

loubt put a big scare into Joliet base

play the Ottawa team. They boast
if having defeated some of the fastest
in the country - so does Ottawa.
Pherefore an Ottawa - Joliet game
vvould be another humdinger for local
md surrounding fans and probably a
good beating for Zime's team.

THAT'S OUR IDEA in making
CAMELS the Quality Cigarette.
,Why, just buy Camels and look at the package!
It's the best packing science has devised to keep
cigarettes fresh and full flavored for your taste.
Heavy paper outside secure foil wrapping inside
and the revenue stamp over the end to seal the pack
age and keep it air-tight.
And note this! There's nothing flashy about the
Camei package. No extra wrappings that do not
improve the smoke. Not a cent of needless expense
that must come out of the quality of the tobacco.
Cameis wonderful and exclusive Quality wins on
merit alone.
Because, men smoke Camels who want the
taste and fragrance of the finest tobaccos, expertly
blended. Men smoke Camels for Camels smooth,
refreshing mildness and their freedom from ciga
rettv aftertaste.
Camels are made for men who think for themselves.
