Chicago, Oct. 12.—The diamond battle for which Cubs and White Sox are being groomed and which is booked to break loose on Friday, will be the fifth post-season combat in which the local rivals have met each other. Of the previous domestic squabbles one resulted in a draw, the White Sox claiming victory by de- fault; two were won by the Cubs those of 1905 and 1909, and one ser- ies was won by the White Sox. That was the series of 1906, involving the world’s pennant as well as the city title. St. Louis Teams Tie.

USE OF THE FORWARD PASS| That Play, Intermingled With Othert of Open Variety, Indicates Style Yale Will Depend On. In the east Yale so far has made by far the best showing of the big teams which got into action. The Elis took Holy Cross into camp, 26 tc 0, iIn a game In which the forward pass and spectacular runs by Captain Howe and Sid Anderson were the Captain Howe. features. The constant use of the forward pass, intermingled with other plays of the open variety, plainly shows that Old Eli will depend upon the most open sort of play for its vie- tories. 1t Georgla comes out strong for Ty Cobb for vice-president will Boston make Tris Speaker?

DESPERATE ATTACK REPULSED Princeton, N. J., Oct. 12.—Lehigh held Princeton to a 6 to 6 tie at foot- ball yesterday afternoon, and, while the Princeton eleven gained almost three times as much ground by rush- ing as their opponents, they were un- able to gain when gains meant scores. Lehigh scored early in the game on a blocked forward pass, “Vela break- ing through. Knix picked the ball out of the air and with a free field before him scored a touchdown. Pa- zett kicked the goal. For the re- mainder of the first two periods, the visitors repulsed the desperate attack of the Princeton team time and again and left the field for the intermis- sion with a.score of 6 to 0 in their favor. The third period opened with the play decidedly in favor of the visi- tors. Creichton and McCaffery tore through the Princeton line for two first downs, the only ones made by Lehigh. With the period half gone, the coaches began putting in substi- tutes. Baker, who replaced Dewitt, tore his way through tackle, shook off the secondary defense, and ran 45 yards for a touchdown, and then kicked the goal, tying The score. Princeton had not a ghost of a chance to score during the remainder of the game. STORY OF A BASEBALL CYNIC Once Famous Pitcher Couldn’t Be In: duced to Sell Milk to One of New Generation. Young Warhop, the pitching sensa tion of the year in the American league, can now and then be coaxed Into telling stories, says a writer in the Cincinnati Times-Star. One was of an early adventure, when he had reached the stage of worship for suc- cessful practitioners of the noble art of baseball, without having attained to any notable eminence himself. “One of my early heroes,” said he, “was an old pltcher. He had been a lead: ing figure in the game in the days of its development. Then he became an umpire, but a somewhat hasty temper kept him from complete success. He finally quit the game definitely, under & rain of pop bottles,‘and only now and then could be persuaded to talk of the old tricks he had once used with effect. In order to live he had opened a dairy.. Every morning he drove about the streets and delivered milk. “I rode with him one day. We came to a new house and the freshly laun- dered curtains in the window told that the owner had just moved in. The old pitcher, on the-alert for a possible new customer, knocked at the door. A good looking young woman respond- ed to his knock, he stated his errand, and she thanked him for his cour- tesy. “‘This is our flrst day in our new home,’ said she, ‘and I have been won- dering where I could get good milk. I'll take two bottles now.’ “The old pitcher gave her two bot- tles, and as he truned to go she said: ‘Why, aren’t you Mr. Jugglus, who used to be the famous pitcher? “The old man sald he was; very sourly. His blood used to curdle when ball playing was referred to. He wanted to know why she referred to his past. “‘Oh,’ said she, ‘dldn’t you know? Why, my husband ‘is a professional ball player himself.’ “‘Gimme back that milk,’ said Jug- gins. ‘Giddap.’” MANAGER MACK MAY RETIRE Poor Health and Recent Marrlage of Leader of Champion Athletics As- signed as the Reason. This season will probably be the last one for Connie Mack as manager of the. Athletics. If the Athletics win the American league pennant and the team ir in good shape for next season, Mack’s retirement 1s almost certain. Connle is a stockholder in the Ath- letic club, and when he retires will become 2n officer of the club, probably president, in which capacity he would direct the club the same as Charley Comiskey directs the White Sox. Mack is forty-nine, and at times his health is not good. He hag remained at home several times this season when the Athletics made short trips on the road. Another thing, Connie was marrifed last fall and naturally prefers to remain at home instead of traveling over the country with his team. High Ball 8eldom Used. It 1s & noticeable fact that the most successful pitchers these. days - are those who seldom pitch a high ball, and yet there was a tlme when the high ball had the batters guessing. Today, however, the pitcher with the high ones does not last long. The bats- men haye mastered this delivery and the pitchers have been forced to change their style of pitching entire- ly. There are decldedly few players these days who hit the low balls, and very few. who canpot hit a high one. Most of,the long hits made during a geason aré on balls that are pitched above the waist. Not only is it easier Ito follow the course of & ball Which Isi pitched on about a level with the wi t.llna.hntdmnwmlmmmbj "EVENTS OF lNTEREST (Conflnlled nm first page). expected that not less than 200 farm- ers will have made known their pres- ence. before the day is over. And this does not, df course, include all who came. W. H. Rice, of the town of Northern, was the first man to register. 0. H. Dybyvig, of Nary, claims the prize for bringing in the largest fam- ily, his family totaling at nine mem- bers. He was the second man in. George Creighton, of the township of Roosevelt, claims the prize for coming the longest distance, having| covered 30 miles. & The public wedding took place shortly after 2 p. m., Miss Mabel Irish of Lavinia, being united to Paul Ut- etch, a young farmer of Turtle Riv- er, by Rev. A. L. Holden, missionary for the American Sunday school un- ion. - The young couple were attend- ed by Andrew Lund as besf man, while Mrs. A. Lund acted as matron of honor. Rev. Holden laid particular em- phasis upen the sacredness of the marriage contract, and then used the briefest of ceremonies, which howev- er, included the presentation of a ring. After the minister had pronounced the words, “I now pronounce you man and wife,”” ‘the groom gallantly took his bride in his arms and gave her a rousing kiss. This caused the hun- dreds of spectators crowded about the platform to break out in hearty cheers. The bridal couple was then taken by E. A. Barker for a ride in his automobile around the city. No less than twenty-five presents were given by the business men of Bemidji to the bride and groom. The offer of the Northern National Bank to Ioan without interest $50 to the five first farmers proved ‘a drawing card for before the bank had been open one hour this morning, all the loans had been taken. Two of the loans were made to farmers liv- ing the township of Northern; one from Jones and one residing two miles southeast of Nymore. “Farmers seemed appreciative of our offer,” said W. L. Brooks, cashier of the Northern National Bank, “and in every instance gave first class se- curity. It was a pleasure to the bank to realize that the farmers were in a position to give the first class se- curity as they did.” “PUSSYFOOT” GETS 3,300 CONVICTIONS (Continued from first page). copy of Johnson’s statement explaih- ing why he resigned from the govern- ment servige. g “I_understand,” said Calderwood, “that Johnson is going to write some magazine articles, exposing the in- fluence of the liquor interests in the Indian bureau. I also hear that he will establish a ‘law enforcement bu- reau’ or detective agency devoted to getting evidence of liquor law viola- tions.” HILL TO AID RURAL LIFE WORK Joseph Chapman Also on Committee of 15 to Meet at Spokane. Fifteen prominent men in various parts of the United States, two being from Minnesota, have been invited to become trustees of the National Country Life Congress to meet in Spokane, November 24 to 29, under the auspices of the Country Life com- mittee of the Spokane Chamber of Cemmerce and the Country Life com- missions of Washington, Oregon, Ida- ho and Montana. They are: Charles 8. Barrett, Union City, Ga., president Farmers Educational and Co-operative Union; J. H. Worst, North Dakota president National Dry Farming Congress; Dr. Henry Wallace, Des Moines, president Na- tional Conservation Congress; Ed- ward J. Ward, Madison, chief of Civ- ic and Social Center Development, University of Wisconsin; Whitman H. Jordan, Geneva, N. Y., president American Association of Agricultur- al Colleges; W, H.

This 1l Natured Fruit Is Remarkably Tenacious of Life. The prickly pear is said to be so tenacious of life that a leaf or even a'small portion of a leaf, if thrown on the ground, ‘strikes out roots within 2 short time and becomes the parent of a fast growing plant. Mischievous though the African prickly pear may be, it is not without its good qualities. Its julcy fruit. though rather deficient in flavor, is delightfully cool and refreshing in the dry heat of summer, and a kind of treacle is made from it. Great caution must be exercised in peeling this curious fruit, the proper way being to impale the fruit on a fork or stick while one cuts it open and removes the skin. The individ- ual who - undertakes to pluck this treacherous fruit with unguarded fin- gers meets with an experience he does not soon forget. Concentrated essence of stinging nettle seems all at once to assail hands, lips and tongue, and the skin, wherever it comes in con- tact with the ill natured fruit, is cov- ered with a group of minute bristly hairs, apparently growing from it and venomous and irritating to the last de- gree. In dry weather these spiteful little stings do not even wait for the newly arrived victim, but fly about, light as thistledown, ready to settle on any one who has not learned by experience to give the prickly pear bush a wide berth. Mineral Microbes. Some interesting experiments have been made with ancient medals, vases and so forth of lead that are gradually disintegrating fn the museum of Clu- ny. After a certain number of years they fall into dust. The cause, it is thought, lies in the presence of minute quantities of saline matter with which the objects have become impregnated during their long burial in the soll or under witer. These microscopic im- purities play the part of bacteria and microbes in living bodies. In other ‘words. the lead is “sick” and unless the noxious matter can be removed will inevitably perish. Curiously enough, it is found that if traces of salt are imparted to a fresh mass of lead it is attacked and eventually falls to pieces like the objects in the mu- seum at Cluny. HARD METALS. They Come From Titanium and Are as Firm as the Diamond. , The diamond has ever been regarded as possessing one quality that placed it beyond rivalry—namely, that of hard- ness. There are several gems that com- pete with it in beauty, and at least one —the ruby—when of rare size outranks it in costliness, but none in the whole Mat equals it in hardness. The hardest steel cannot equal the diamond in that respect. But there are at least two products of chemical experiment that have proved, according to French chemists, to be as hard as diamonds. These are produced from the rare metal titanium. One ‘experimenter, it is claimed, suc- ceeded in preparing titanium in the électric furnace. 1n the pure form it 1s much harder than steel or quartz. and. when combined with silicon or carbon so as to form a silicide or bo- ride of titanium it matches-the dia- mond itself in hardness. Titanium resembles tin in its chem- ical properties, and it is the character- istic element in the beautiful red and brown crystals of rutile. These, in the shape of needles, are sometimes found penetrating large white quartz crys- tals, forming gems that the French call “love’s arrows.”"—New York Press. KEPT ABOVE GROUND. Ingenious Way Major Hook Evaded the Terms of a Will. Among ingenious ways of evading a will the plan followed by Major Hook and recorded in “‘Anciént, Curious and Famous Wills” may be commended: A county newspaper some years ago recorded the death of a Major Hook and spoke of him as “a singular character.” “He died,” says the re- port, *on Monday sennight at his house, Ham street, Ham common. He was an officer in the East India com- pany’s service and reached the age of seventy-five. His house was remark- able for its dingy and dilapidated con- dition.” His wife had become entitled to a life- annuity, bequeathed to her in these ambignous terms: *“And the same shall be paid to her as long as she is above ground.” When, there- fore, the good lady died her husband very naturally objected to forfeit his income by putting her below ground and ingeniously devised a mode of keeping her in a room which he allot- ted “to her sole and separate use,” placing a glass case over her remains. For thirty years he thus prolonged his enjoyment, if not of his wife’s society, at least of her income. The Flag at Trenton. The flag “that Washington had with him when he crossed the Delaware to attack Trenton” was not the “stars and stripes.” Washington crossed the Delaware in December, 1776, and the stars and stripes did not have an ex- istence until the June of 1777, when it was voted Into being by the congress. The flag that waved over General ‘Washington on his way to and from Trenton consisted of thirteen stripes, alternate red and white, as at present. with a blue canton emblazoned with the crosses of St. George and St. An- drew, as in the British flag. The first time the present stars and stripes were flung to the breeze was on the day of the battle of Oriskany at Fort Stan- wix, Aug. 6, 1777.—New York Ameri- can. Not Too Good.
