AMERICANS PLAY LONG GAME
.MIIiTniiUer AVIUM Tivo from Detroit,

InnluK.
MILWAUKKR, Aug, 4.-Thn Mltwaukfe
AmerlcniiH defeated Detroit twlco this titter
noon. The llrst game was a pitchers' bat
tle and took eloven Innings to doc! le.
Garvin pitched grent ball and ho was well
supported In tight places. Duffy won th?
game In the eleventh with a long drive for
three bases, scoring n minute Inter on
Frlcl'n lly to center. In the second gamo
tho home team had 11 batting streak In the
Maverick Stories
When ho was a small boy ho lived over
In lown and they called him Ikey. Named
for a, rich old uncle. Ho was an esthetic
youngster nnd ho fancied that "Ikey"
didn't sound good. About tho tlmo tho
nioustncho sprouted on his upper lip ho
moved to Nebraska and changed his nnmo
from Ikey to Harry.
No difference about his last name.
Ho felt much better after his chaugo of
name, but ho took caro In writing to tho
aforesaid undo to alllx tho signature like.
this:
Your loving nephew,
ISAAC.
Of course Harry didn't caro, a rap for
any money that his undo might lenvo him
on nccount of tho nnmc, but he loved his
undo with a true, loyal affection, nnd he
fcurcd that It would pa 1 11 him if hu should
learn of the transition from Ikey to Harry.
That wns nil. Ilnrry didn't want tho
money. No. Oh, no.
After n while a mighty long while It was
tho uncle died. Tho doctors said death
was due to a shortag" of breath. Harry
went to the funeral and they called him
Ikey. Just as they had In the long ago.
Ho wept great gobs of tears,
A few dayH later he wept still greater
gobs of tears, for they tore open tho old
man's will and It contained a clause like
this.
: Not n cent for any young man who :
: thinks It wise to change his name from :
: Isaac to Harry. Lot him Ball his own :
: ship ns many knots an hour ns his :
: boilers will stand. UNCLE ISAAC.
AH of which goes to show that Uncle
Isaac wasn't denf Just because he happened
to be old, nnd ho could find out what was
going on In Nebraska even though ho lived
in Iowa. Now Harry wishes ho wero Ikey
again.
"Wliy He Wenr I'njnnins,
Thcro Is man nut on West Fnrnam
street who has become a warm advocato of
pajamas. For years he refused to abandon
old-fnthlonrd night shirts for the garb of
the orient. It was not known how his
change of mind enmo about until n police
man let the eat out of the bag,
Tho family of tho Farnam street man Is
out In the country for tho summer and h.
Is keeping bachelor's hall. His -.ily -rra-pAnlon
is a pet dog, which sleeps In tho
barn. Several attempts have been made
to steal the dog. Ho is a valuable animal
nnd his owner watches him very carefully.
A few nights ago thero was a furious
barking In tho street In front of tho
Farnara street home. Tho man was awak
ened from his sleep and rushed from hie
upstairs bedroom to see whether his dog
had been taken from tho barn. Ho stepped
out on tho front porch, leaving tho door
open, nnd whistled for the animal, A
gust of wind slammed tho door, caught
the man's nightshirt and held him fust.

want to yell and let tho neighbors know
of his predicament. Ho began to crawl
out of the shirt, but It suddenly occurred
to him that ho would not look well parad

tn nature's garb. Ho tried to frco himself
by tearing the tall from the shirt, but
tho material was too strong to give way.
All tho downstairs windows and doors were
fastened, so thero wnB no hope of gaining
entrance to the house, oven If ho wero to
slip out of his strnlghtjackct.
Ho leaned against the door and tried to
composo himself. Two hours passed by.
He shifted uneasily from ono foot to the
other nnd tried to forget how ho would
.look standing there In tho brilliant light
of the rising sun.
Tho policeman who cut tho man looso
nnd gave him a boost up a porch post
promised that he wouldn't say nnythlng

Young Mr. Thirty Cents strolled out to
Hansom park one afternoon last week. He
lay down in tho shado and gazed at tho
patches of blue sky that could he seen
through the lenves. He was almost asleep
wheu u girlish voice called to him and he
found thnt hu wns facing two orgaudlo
gowns which seemed to ho yelling "Ice
cream" 'in deafening tones,
Ho a3ked tho girls to go over to tho pavi
lion with him. Thcro was nothing else to
bo done. Thirty Cents wns afraid thuy
would call for some 15-cent concotlou and
heaved a sigh of relief when tho colored
waiter started after three chocolate Ice
creams. The waiters ai the Hanscom park pavilion
work on commission.
Ten per cent of three Icecreams would bo
3 cents,
Who could nsk a waiter to be contented
with 3 cents vclvot from a man with two
girls?
"Will you havo some cako?" the chocolate
wnltcr asked graciously as bo sot icecream
boforo tho green organdie.
Thirty CcntB ucarly swallowed his Adam's
applo when the emerald gown announced
that she would have an order of chocolate
cake,
When tho pink organdlo decided that she
would have macaroons Thirty Cents felt like
bogus coin. He clenched his first at the
waller and grabbed nt the tablo so hard
that the girls thought he had hydro
phobia. "Devils' cako" ho shouted to tho grinning
waiter, who was delighted with the thought
of bring 6 cents to the good.
