The local leara was weakened by Pettit's absence, but Joe will be back for next Saturday; as will Kerley who was stranded at Patchogue. Kdwards is still on the sick list but Is coming around slowly, Fussell had a badly wrenched knee and had to retire In the flrst inning.
In the eighth Inning Ellison injured his finger from a foul tip. He was taken to Dr. Fletcher's olllce and It was found that he had a compound disloca¬ tion of the thumb. Dr, Weeks of Bald¬ win and Dr. Fletcher set Abe's thumb and he returned to the grounds very much disappointed that we didn't win out, .\be was somewhat "put out" at being hurt, as he said he was to get up In the ninth Inning and left handed pitchers were easy marka for him.
Just to show what was on Abe's mind when he came out of the chloroform the flrst thing he asked was, "Say, Doc, did we beat them,"
At Robert Anderson's suggestion a collection was taken up for Abe's bene¬ flt and $56,20 was donated; and believe me he was some surprised and said he appreciated It very much, and would surely show it when he gol back in the game,
Johnson and Schwab played a nice game at short and second and surely did help us out of a hole,

I By Cong. F. C. Hicks) The Week has been consumed by de¬ bate on several bills of importance, the chief of which was the revenue bill to provide funds for the mailiy appropria¬ tions which have been made. The con¬ ference riport ot the River and Har¬ bor Bin was also passed. Other bills of Importance were the McGlillcuddy j Compensation Bill, the Waler Power Site Bill and the Corrupt Practices Act, The flrst provides ft>r the com¬ pensation of government employees In¬ jured while on duty or payment to their faniilles in case of death. The Water I'ower Hill offers opportunity for the securing by private parties of dam sltee tor the erection ot power plants. The Corrupt Practices Act reduces, the sanount which a ()andldate for Congress or for the Senate may spend and re¬ strict tile use ot campaign funds.
One of the resolutions Introduced whicii has attracted much attention was offered by Mr, Caldwell, It pro¬ vides for the purchase of the northern districts of Mexico.
It seems likely that In a few days many niembers of Congress will leave the Caiiltol, for by the end of the week much of the Important legislation, as far as the House in concerned, will have been completed.

Leaving Freeport Saturday morning, July S, they traveled 100 miles spend¬ ing the night at Poughkeepsie.

The system wliich does away with Ihe large and cuiuocrsoine ledgers, greatly shortens the work.

Instead of taking ynur pass book to the bank the flrst ot the month and leaving It there for a day or so until tbt- clerks get time lo balance it for you, all you have to do now Is to call tor your machine-made statement— which Is ready for you at the end of llie mniith, or at any time yon want It —together with your cancelled vouch¬ ers.

The Anna Maria, carrying a cargo of gasoline, foundered on the bur at Polnl Lookout early Tuesday morning, and sank to llie botioin.
There were 100 barrels of the fuel aboard the Anna Maria when she struck, and as the vessel went down the casks floated over the surface of the inlet and were quickly picked up by the volunteer salvagers.
The Anna Maria Is a 30-fool sloop, about forty years old, and is owned by John Moseman and John Mclionald, bolh ot Freeport. The craft was loaded with gasoline in Bayonne. N. J„ and was to h.ive docked al Ellison's Dock at Freeport,
As the little aloop was coming up the inlet, the machinery suddenly became crippled, and the vessel began to drift helplessly toward the bar, where she eventually was pounded by the water until she sprung a leak and sank to tho bottom.
As noon a* the aloop struck. Captain John Moseman, who was In charge, or¬ dered James Grady of Rochester, and James Verity of Kreeporl, who com¬ prised the crew, to don life preservers and swim tor help. Captain Moseman and his crt.w reachod shore safely,
A little later, the vessel whicli had lieen gradually settling, sank out of sight, and the surface of the Inl.t was dotted with the bobbing barrels soon as the news spread, oilier hoals nv p.ared and iiicked up the barrels. It I lielii'Ved thai the greater Iiarl of 111 cargo was saved.
