Manager Gonding. while catching for that team, bad an opportunity to find out whether or not Cook had the goods, and it is safe to say that be will fill a big gap in the Islander team. The local directors state that they do not expect Couch man to round into form this season, and if Cook makes good. Big Bob will he shelved for a while at least. The directors are peeking around for an other hurler whom they may eign. It will not be long before the team is out of the rur and away from that bottom rung in the percentage column.

RECORDS BROKEN BY POWER BOATS Meeting of the Western Asso ciation at Peoria Brings Out Speedy Craft. SAND BURR II. IS THE STAR C'oters if tint: a Mile in H:5f i-o New World's face JO-foot Class. Set- Peoria. July 26 All world ords for 2 0-foot boats and all em river records for 32-foot were broken at the first day's s rec w est boats racing of the Western Power Boat associa tion here yesterday afternoon. Sand Burr II.. owned by A. K. and c. D. White of Atlantic City, X. J.. won the 20-foot class against six contenders, eovexing the 10 miles in 19:50 4-5, a fraction over 30 miles per hour. Its fastest lap was made at the rate of 31.3 miles per hour, while the pre vious world s record for this class was helij by Comet of Bellevue. Iowa, at 28.47 miles per hour. With the exception of the time of Oro II- at Buffalo, the Sand Burr also broke all records for the 3 2-foot class in that event, winning in a fighting finieh from Missouri, which boat won the Miss'sslppi Valley as sociation championship at Dubuque on July 4. DELAYED BY SQl Al Rough, squally weather delayed the races, which were to have started early in the afternoon, until well into the evening, the last event being fin ished Just before darkless set in. Thousands of people waited patiently all afternoon in occas'onal showers and squalls for the ra-es to begin Nine boats were to start in the 20 foot class, but rough weather and rain cut the starters down to six boats before the gun was fired. After ragged sort of a start. Id The Woman i j j The busy old world in the i and fast race for success in hard com- merce and finance, will always stop ! when the band is playing. So w ill ! it also slacken its pace at the time ! of year when the malady contracted in childhood becomes chronic in manhood, and is always unmistak ably diagnosed as "red wagon fe ver." The world loves a circus and is always interested in the people i of the canvas canopied arena, j There is an irresistible charm in I the sawdust and spangle, and a hard ! to conquer lingering fascination in he gold, gleam and gliitir of the big show pageants. And yet the world does not know half as much about circus folks as it thinks it does. Back of the curtain and the glamor and the hoop-la of the ring there is another world a world all I to itself, filled with real humanity, j but by the nature of their calling j made a world apart. I Nearly every performer, at least ! 9 5 per cent of them, are born into the world, preceded by generation I after goner. ition of ancestors who have been with the circus since it ' became mankind's never tiring ! amusement. The athletic essentials and the perfection of physical train ning made this a fuet. and every sta' of the arena, every bareback rider, evcrv daring aerial performer, and nearly every clown, learned the rud iments of the work when they were children and muscles were made used to the performance with the suppleness of childhood, and with , that foundation practice made per ! feet. i In the host of people who live un ! der the canvasses of the Rtngling ! Brothers' cirius, there are 375 per i formers, and they ate from every j part of the universe. In all. 2! lan guages are spoken among the l,28'i people who travel in the four long , trains of this, the largest show ever organized. Language is not nccia j sary to the circus performer, it ap- peals altogether to the eye. which I is its sole interpreter. So the dare land skill of the performers of the universe blend harmoniously in its ! presentation. And just so harmoniously docs the i same quality enter into their daily' life after the show work is over work is over and ithe crowds have gone home. How ever, an anornolv it may seem, cir l cus people, thf. greatist wanderers i of ii 1 1 entertainer, love home life. One has but to take a peep at the ' tidy arrangements ot dressing tents and a glimpse into stair rooms on sleepine cars to see the domestic touch And more than that, circus people have homes, own them, and maintain the mo-t wholesome of ; home life during the rest period. They work hard, train hard, rest i easy, enjoy their life, are thrifty, save their money and their physical ; be'ng and are never seen at play in the haunts of the great v. bite light of 'he cosmopolitan thoroughfare or the g&rlish glare of the lobster pal ace. As one of the women bareback riders expressed it: "I know noth- which Sand Burr II . Leading L'idy and Reeal Tiger ali got away poorlv, these three boats pulled through tl.e field. In the first five-mile lap Le gal Tiger took second plae away from Leading Lady ani tht boots finished 24 RfOEd.- apart.

It is eter- nal practice with us." And this was Emma Stickney speaking, one of the areuic stars of the Ringling show, and who has known no other life than that under the canvas. She learned to ride when but a child, furthermore, she was taught to somersault and other acrobatics, and after a while she was 6ent to dancing school to give her grace. And now, one of the world's best riders, she still practices every morning with all the studious care she did when but a novice. The women of the circus are won derful specimens of womanhood. They have developed the physical be ing to its highest state and achieved feats of great dare and marvelous skill, yet they are just as feminine as their sisters, whose applause their ring and arenic work wins. The lit tle woman, who with a thrilling shriek makes the perilous leap from a 6'.-foot high trapeze and is caught! by her foot, is an expert at needle- j work. Another who rides and leaps j ov er banners and is at perfect ease i on tip toe when at a gallop, is found i on the grass teaching her little boy j the first mysteries of twice one is i two, or c-a-t spells cat. A perform-, er from Europe has a class of Amer- ican girls teaching them French, and j in return learning English. Another ". is an adept at manicuring. Still an- j other woman, whose husband, aj clown, has real estate and business ; interests in Long island, writes his! letters on a typewriter placed on the ; top of a costume trunk, while ho die-j tates still dressed in the motley of i the ring. Nearly all have cameias and make pictures of the places in; each town ihey visit. And if you please, the darning of father's socks' and the patching of little Willie's! pants is just as frequent In thej I "dressing top" as it is a' any home. When the Uinglircs pitch their acres of canvases at Moline tonnuiow, t;ike a peep into these surround'nga and find out why the women of the circus are so respected, why the men are so gallant, where the family He3 are seldom broken, where scandal seldom stalks, and where Jralousv and gossip are unknown No story of the women of the Ringling circus would be complete without a me ntion of that one known to them all as 'the litil" mother of the circus."

TIME TO START WITH 1912 PLANS Good Opportunity for Magnates of Three-Eye to Be Rid of Kinsella. PRESENT CIRCUIT ALLRIGHT PrK Is t.cttins; Brighter Kter lay ReiranlleM of Dirk' Threats of Disruption. In view of Kinsclla's loeenf threat?. : it is time for the Three-Eye leagti" directors to get together and lay a fw j plans for the 1912 season. There 1 ; ro reason on earth why the circuit next season should not be practically th ! same as if is today, for all of the cities ! of the league are good baseball cities aud it is a certainty (that the attend j ance next year with the same circuit j will far exceed that of this season, j Right n-w the attendance all over the : b ague is picking up. and possibly be j fore the end of the season Sept. 17 , there will have been a large boost in the figures. E.1POR" FAKE TLA. Richard Kinsella of Springfield, president of the Decatur club, has recently given out for publication some of the develop ments of the partly secret meeting of the Three Eye bosses w hich was held in Chicago a few weeks ago. One lr tle shell that he exploded said that th" leaders had agreed unanimously to disband after the Labor day game. V now develops that Borne of the lead ers never heard of that agreement til! i L"CK gave it out ior puuncawou in :caiur. in xaci, secretary rarreu nas t'xy learney mat tua players tnust be paid for the regular term of !,he Three-Eye season whether the Hague breaks up now or any other time before Sept. 17. It would scarcely be good policy to disband and continue to pay the salaries, amounting to rnori? than $2,ooo on the average for each team, while not a cent was being re alized at the box office. Aud so Kin sella's scheme to terminate the league season two weeks earlier than the schedule provides will possibly have as much cousideratiou as his scheme to disrupt the league and quit Aug. 6. DM K VRKU MIT MILITATE. But if Kinsella wants to kick loose from the fetters of the Three Eye league, let him do so. There is scarce ly a city in the league that would not be heartily in favor of such action by him, for his tactics have tended ever toward disruption rather than towards upbuilding. Decatur is a good baseball city and has always supported its teams well. Let the Decatur busiuenn men w ho want baseball aud there art plenty of them get together and take up the Decatur franchise from Kin sella and be ready to send represeuta lives to the league meeting when it is called, so that they may have a hand in the organization for 1912. MtKi; KV AGHKKMKVr. At this meeting it is up to the direc tors of the clubs to select a new presi dent to fill the league executive boots Let there be a new agreement among the owners one that shall be lived up to to cut down the salary limi' and then abide by it. The league can have practically the same circuit nex' year and give class B ball to Ha pa irons, and thrive. If Dick Kinselhi's scheme to aban don the old Three-Eye league is fol lowed, the players of the league will become free agents All of the clubs now own several valuable men. and to lose them through following the poli cjes of Dick Kinsella would be far ironi wise-.
