The Waning Hardwood
Supply.

Although the demand for hard
wood lumber is greater than ever be-
fore, the annual cut today Is billion
feet less than IL was seven years ago.
In this time the wholesale price or
the different classes of hardwood lum-
Der advanced from 25 to 90 per cent.
The cut OF oak, which in 1899 was
more than half the total cut of hard
woods, has fallen off SO per cent. Vel
low poplar, which was second In point
of output, has fallen off 3S per ceLt,
and elm has fallen off one-half.
The cut of softwoods is over four
times that of hardwoods, yet 1T is
doubtful if a shortage la the former
would cause dismay in so MANY IN
dustries. The cooperage, furniture,
and vehicle industries depend upon
HARDWOOD timber, and the railroads,
telephone and telegraph companies,
agricultural implement manufac' ur-
ers, and builders use it extensively.
This leads to the question, where
is the future supply Of hardwoods to
be found? The cut in Ohio and In
diana, which. seven years ago, led all
other States, has fallen off one-half.
Illinois, Iowa. Kentucky, Michigan,
Minnesota. Missouri, New jersey,
Tennessee, Texas, West Virginia,
and Wisconsin have also declined In
hardwood production. The cher
centers of production now lie in the
Lake States. the lower Mississippi
Valley, and the Appalachian Noun
tains. Yet in the Lake States the
presence of hardwoods is an almost
certain indication of rich agricultur-
al land, and when the hardwoods are
cut the land is turned permanently to
agricultural use. In Arkansas, Louis
lana, and Mississippi the production
Of hardwoods is clearly at its extreme
height. and in Missouri and Texas it
has already begun to decline.
The answer to the question, there
for, would seem to lie in the Appala-
chan mountains. They contain the
largest body Of hardwood timber left
in the United States. On them grow
the greatest varieties of tree species
anywhere to be found. Protected
from fire aud reckless cutting, they
produce the best kinds of timber,
since their soil and climate combine
to make heavy stands and rapid
growth. Yet much Of the Appala-
chan forest has been SO damaged in
the past that 1t will be years before
it will again reach high state of
productiveness. Twenty billion feet
of haIdwoods would be conservative
estimate Of the annual productive
capacity of the $4,000, 900 acres Of for
est lands in the Appalachians If they
were rightly managed. Until they
are we can expect shortage in hard
wood timber.
Circular lie, of the Forest Service,
entitled "The Waning Of Hardwood
Supply" discusses this situation. 1t

ATHLETICS IN BAD
SHAPE FOR THE FINISH

PHILADELPHIA. September 19.-Rain
terday between the Athletics and New York
Highlanders and robbed the home team Of
a chance to square accounts with the Yam
KEGS. New York has no more games here
this season. SO that the games that were
to have been played yesterday cannot be
played off. 1t is a matter for conjecture
whether the days lay-on did not do the
Athletics more good than harm. for at pres
ent the team Is not in condition to do its
best against New York which has proved
a hoodoo to Connie Mack's team all season.
While the Athletics were resting Detroit
and Chicago met in another dOuble-header
and divided honofs,. each team losing a
point on the days result. This gives the Ath-
letics lead of ten points. With a weakened
team an even break yesterday Is all that
could have been expected, and it might
have been worse, so that figuring In this
way. the rain did the leaders a good turn.
A rest was badly needed, for 1t Is no Sc
cret that the Athletics pitching staff is in
a crippled condition, and the team Is fur
Their weakened by the loss of Harry Davis.
who will probably be out of the game sew
eral days with a badly sprained hip.
Bender. who has been playing first base in
the last two games is suffering with a
sore arm. and the rest will do him good.
After the showing made against New York
on Tuesday 1t Is about settled that Jack
Coombs will be Of little use to the team
any more this season, while BARLEY and
Craig can hardly be classed as fit for work
on a team that Is fighting to hold the lead
in the pennant race.
When Manager Mack did not send Wad-
dell, Dygert or Plank in on Tuesday after
Coombs and BARLEY made such poor
showing he no doubt figured on getting at
least an even break On yesterdays double
header with Waddeli and Dygert the
pitchers. and planned to use Plank in the
box in todays game in New York. Two
out of the three games would have looked
York giving the Athletics all sorts of trou-
ing.
OF course, Mack did not figure on rain.
and so lost a chance to save Tuesday
game. The rest given the pitchers, how
ever, will leave Waddell, Dygert and Plank
available for today and give Bender a
chance to save his pitching arm for the
opening of the western series with st.
Louis tomorrow.
The western series is what Is giving Man
aver Mack something to think about. When
the Athletics returned home from their last
trim Manager Mack and Capt. Davis hoped
to have the pennant race settled by Sep
TENDER 40. Here 1t Is September 10 and
the race is just as unsettled as 1t was
two weeks ago. and probably more SO. for
the Athletics are just now suffering an UNI
expected slump, which must be shaken on
or their chances for the pennant Will go
glimmering before the western series is well
under way.

the bottle which injured Umpire Evans.
Johnson said:
Il have engaged an attorney to prosecute
the case at st. Louis and We will ask for
the severest penalty possible as lesson to
other bottle throwers."
Mr.. Johnson gave his reason for dismiss
ing Umpire Stafford from the force.
Stafford was wholly incompetent and
have had complaints from the managers al
season as to his bad judgment. 1 told him
last Saturday that his services were no
longer needed. had made up my mind not
to employ him next year anyway AS the
race In the American League is so close
right now / did not want to take any
chances with him umpiring game and de-
feating any club by bad decisions. There
are many specific cases against him. One
in particular happened in Washington, when
Staffords decision at first base lost the
game for Boston.
II had already appointed Egan to take his
place before the injury occurred to Evans,
that Egan took Evans place at once l
have nothing to say against Stafford as to
his honesty. He probably made those bad
decisions In the belief that he was right"

COMMENT ON THE GAME.

Pitcher Oberlin's work yesterday was
most gratifying to Manager Cantillon and
the Washington fans" as 1t gives the Ma
tionals a known quantity in the twirling
line for next season. From present indica-
tons the pitching corps should then be q
corker. Oberlin is one of those spit
ball twirlers who does not advertise the
fact to the batters every time he starts to
sling the ball. Yesterday 1t looked from
the press box as thought he had discarded
the splitter altogether, while the fact Of the
matter was that Oberlin worked the damp
ball all the time He vets the ball as soon
as he gets 1t from the catcher and then
goes about his business in the ordinary
way. Many players can hit the spit ball
by walking up on it and placing it before
it breaks. but when they don't know what
Is coming 1t makes a hard proposition for
the batter. Oberlin's idea Is a new one,
and from the way he has been puZzling the
batters in his last three games 1t looks like
he had the best plan.
Dave Altizer played grand first base
yesterday and several occasions saved
Shipke errors by gathering in widely
thrown balls. In the second inning I'm
glaub sent fast roller to the little third
baseman that was gathered up cleanly, but
thrown very high to Dave. Keeping his
one foot on the bag. Altizer leaned away
over and took mighty reach, clinging to
the ball with one hand. After that one
there were several throws that came short
but Altizer leaned forward in the most ap-

BASE BALL NOTES.

The Washington fans" should keep
their eyes on the red flag that floats from
the top of The Star building these days.
No matter how bad the weather Is. II the
flag is flying a game will be played.
The sprinkling of crude oil on the local
diamond has done wonders in the way Of
taking up the rain, and games will be
played in the future when 1t has been
impossible in the past. The oil Is hard
on the uniforms, but money maker at
that.
The fans" will have to start early to-
morrow to get good seats or go behind
the ropes. The Chicagos are a great at
traction, and the fact that Johnson is to
perform increases the drawing power.
Those Senators have always been trou-
blesome for our Boston boys.-Boston
Herald.
The national board will handle the post
season series between the champions of
the American Association and the East
ern League, Columbus and Toronto.
Joe Kelley thinks the Athletics will
have a hard time to land the pennant this
year, as most Of their games are now
with exceptionally strong western teams.
A favorite surmise of ours is that the
termination of active employment for the
Maps on the diamond will mark the be-
