BASKETBALL AUTHORITY. Carl A. Reed Has Article in Spalding’s Basketball Guide. Carl A. Hoed of this city is considered authority in regard to amateur basket hall in New England and his article on “Basketball in New England" in Spald ing's Official Baseball Gufde for 1908-3 contains an interesting treatment of the subject. A short time after Mr. Reed sent this article, which was prepared by request, to Editor George T. Hepburn of the Guide, he was asked by Mr. Hepburn to serve upon the auxiliary basketball committee, which he consented to do. This committee has jurisdiction over all amateur basketball in the United States and the alteration of the rules of the game when necessary. Mr. Reed expects to devote his time to basketball again the coming season and will probably go to Winthrop, Mass., where be has had an offer to again coach the amateur team of that city. His coach ing of tlie Winthrop five last season was with excellent results, the team winning 38 out of the 29 games which it played. The Guide contains a picture of tlie Win throp team, which shows it to corftain a dean, strong set of players. The Win throp players offered Mr. Reed a consid erably larger salary than he received last 5'car to coach them again this season. The Winthrop five with Mr. Reed as coach will undoubtedly make a week’s tour of Maine the coming season, and if they do will probably come to Gardiner, as this city with the new Opera house completed will in all probability place a team in the field which will make Gardi ner the champion of Maine in this snort as in former days. A contest between the Winthrop five and one of Gardiner’S ohltime teams would certainly afford sport royal. The Massachusetts papers have had a number of favorable comments in regard to Mr. Reed’s article in the Guide, which seems to have been very well teceived hv all familiar with the sport. Brockton was one of the teams mentioned in tho article, the five front that city being tho Y. M. C. A. champions of New England, ami the Brockton Times had an extended article in a recent issue upon Mr. Reed’s careful summary of the sport in New England 11 to past season.

Mrs. earnest hochmuth, itoi Maple St., Des Moines, Iowa, writes: “Two years ago our little boy, Herman, woe taken down with scarlet fever. He took cold with it, and in stead of the ernptions coming to the surface they affected his lnngs and stomach. For weeks we watched by his bedside, hardly expecting him to live from one hoar to the next. “Finally he became a little better and was able to sit up. Then he commenced to cough, and in spite of everything we could do he seemed to get worse all the time. His coughing spells would last until he was completely exhausted, and his lungs hurt him a great deal. Every body thought he had consumption. “One day, while at the drug store, my husband saw a Peruna almanac and brought it home. We read in it a per fect description of his case and we thought we would try Peruna. We bought a bottle, quit everything else, and began giving him Peruna. “By the time two-thirds of the bottle was used the cough had almost gone. After he had taken two bottles he was perfectly cured. He has not seen a sick day since and is a hearty, healthy boy. “We shall always praise Peruna, for it saved our boy’s life.” Man-a-lin the Ideal Laxative. she will join her husband who is em ploye.1 there.

The end of the summer vacation of the Republican candidate was the oc casion tonight of a rousing farewell by the several hundred guests of the Homestead hotel, where the party has lived during the past two months. When the train pulled out at 8.30 o’clock, a rousing cheer was given, and many well wishes were expressed dur ing the few minutes the party mingled with tlic crowd on the station platform. Mr. Taft’s universal expression on bidding his Southern friends good bye was that he had enjoyed every minute of his stay in the Virginia mountains and that the health and vigor which he sought in coming here, had been amply supplied.

In the opinion of Mr. Taft this arrangement is satisfactory and relieves the na tional situation in Iowa from any com plication as a result of the local con test for the senatorship.

The conference began upon the return of these gentlemen from Oyster Bay, where they were called by President Roosevelt for a talk about the congressional situation. It was very late before the conference was concluded. “Politicians should not temporize with the will of the people. The lead ers should learn the will of the people, and then properly represent their views.’’ t The meeting of the executive com mittee of the nationa committee was taken up largely with a general dis- cussion of routine affairs, and some time was devoted also to the question of finances. The first rally of Negroe voters to be held during the coming campaign was neld today at St. Cyprian's chap el in tliis city. The meeting was ad dressed by Former .Governor Pinch back of Louisiana; W. T. Vernon, rcg- y istor of the United States treasury; a number of others, all Negroes. it is said that President Roosevelt displayed a keen interest in die ar rangements being made for a vigorous1 campaign in all parts of the country, to retain the present Republican ma jority in the House of Representative. He was able to give Chairman Mc Kinley and Sec. Ludenslagcr many valuable suggestions. No details of the conference at Oyster Bay were made public upon the return of the off calls of the congres sional committee to New York tonight.. It was admitted, however, that ar rangements were made to enlist speak-' ers for a contest in a number of dis tricts in Southern states which are now represented by Democrats. Secretary Straus, of the department of comnierec and labor, who was a caller at the national headquarters to* d^iy was asked for an expression of opinion concerning the New York gov ernorship question. He would not say whether he believed that Mr. Hughes should or should not be re-nominated, but be expressed this opinion: CHAFIN’S POINT OF VIEW.

STRIKE IS OVER, Granite Cutters In Vinalhaven Quar ries Will Return to Work. Vinalhaven, Me., Aug. 28.—The strike of granite cutters In the quar ries of this place which has been in progress since March 1 lias been fin ally settled and about 10 quarry work ers will go to work for the first time in six months under the same work ing agreement which governed the in nustrv here for the three years end ing March 1. The demands of the cutters which brought on the strike were an increase in wages and the elimination of cer tain pneumatic tools used in the shops. It is understood that in the settlement their request for a wage Increase was waived, and the manufacturers agreed to confine the use of the pneumatic tools objected to, to work in which their employment was a necessity. The strike caused conslnerable hard ship throughout the .island generally and many of the quarry workers left town to seek work elsewhere. It is believed that most of these will re turn to their families here, however, with the resumption of operations. FIFIELD BROS.
