I Friday Game Is Terrible Example Of Punk Play s (By Will Carver.) The score 11-6 in Salem's favor as result of Friday's game at Oxford park, must . not be considered as hav- ing anything whatever to do with base ' ball as the great American game. And simply because there was no game I wnai-snmp-pvpr. i r wna a mnnnsninfl ' oiled farce from start to finish. ,.' While Salem's exhibition was manp times better than hat of the vlsitoi-a, there was a certain amount of pep and' efficiency absent that might be ac counted for by the celebrations of the previous night. A few of Salem's steadier boys, however, were on the job and held the banner during the sruesome innings. Had the Salem team been lpaylng even near its usual ' standard, not a score would have been earned by the residents of the ship . yard city. Myers and Kracke alternated in the twirling for Salem, while Dr;sci-. and Baird put vinegar in the pie by pos ing as deliverymen for Vancouver. Sa lem secured 11 hits, two passes and all the two-base hits registered during the game, these being made by Hol mes, Proctor, Hayes and Miller. Van couver made six hits and secured three nassoa Mm.n,0 Tv.n bat" average for both teams was 36 and the "error" Item stood 4-6, Van couver holding the haevy end of this ladder. Manager Bishop was badly discour sed by the exhibtiion as he has been working earnestly for the support of the fans and such plays as that , Friday takes the callope from the pa rade. If these is a game Saturday or Sunday there will have to be a 1000 Per cent improvement in order to erase memories of the past. " - t Japanese Give Attention To Chinese Revolt T.,t.. confer..

Bands Add "Pep " To Just as a circus would not be a cir cus without a steam caliope, so a con vention would not be a convention without a group ofbands.

Tha fifth international cup , race upon which hangs the fate of the America's race today was declared off by the re gatta committee. The reason given was heavy weatner. As the "yachts started back to tha shelter of the hook, the. regatta com mittee , signalled that the next raca -would be held Monday... . Resolute and Shamrock made ready for final battle for the cup. in a series of rain squalls which followed a furi ous electrical storm during the night. A downpour followed the blow and .. the sloops tugged at their buoys, but the deck watches reported the yachts . were unharmed by the storm. '" The storm passed away shortly after dawn leaving an overcast sky am. steady wind from the southwest that . kicked up a sousing sea. Whether the America's cup will re main on this side of the Atlantic or take a trip to England, whence it waa brought soma fifty years ago, depend- ' ed on the winning of today's 30 mile windward and leeward course. .

On the other hand, Sir Thomas ex pressed himself as still being "very , hopeful" that his green Bloop would life the cup. The advantage for the final struggle lies with the American boat which in all the previous races has shown de cided superiority over the challenger' in a thrash into the wind." The Englishmen believe they ha, an equal chance with the Americans. The sailing skill of Charles Francis Adams II,. skipper of the Resolute. however, had caused sailors of the Shamrock to regard him with a sail or's superstition ns a superman of the sea. , . n When the sloops began making sail, the wind had piped up out of the southwest to 18 knots. It was Jur euch a day as a real sailorman loves to weigh 'anchor and head seawant carrying every sail his ship will bear. , Resolute was first to make sail. Challenger Trims Sail Shamrock prepared for battle wlta . a brand new mainsail. Her sailormen snapped it up in true seaman Ilka fashion. Captain William P. Burton directed his crew to take a reef in tne challenger's mainsail. He evidently expected wind aplenty. Resolute, however, which kept her topsail In yesterday's squall when Shamrock, lowered hers, today carried her big spread of canvas without a reef. Shamrock broke out her jib at 10:10 and dropping her moorings, stood away to sea. With only main sail and jib Shamrock scooted away for Sandy Hook spit like a ghost ln the piping breeze. . The first hint that the race had been postponed came wnen the cut sloop swere three miles northwest of the Ambrose Channel lightship an were heading in the direction of Sandy Hook. With a 15 to 18 knot breeze blow ing, observers ashore Inferred that the skippers did not care to take a chance of being dismasted or wreck ed ln heavy sea or squally blows. Liberty Bonds New York.
