apace with the passing events of things
and persons. If you slip a cog once
you are liable to be thrown back into
antiquity, whatever that might mean.
Take it for what it is worth.
surely you have not left the midday
meal without knowing that the Tigers
from Down Neck way stung the
Bisons again yesterday for q brace Of
games. 1t was no accident, and if you
hear some pessimist say SO, just pass
him up. He is not fit TO join The "Down
and OUT Club. He is as dead as the
most petriiied remains to be found III
The Roman catacombs. 1t was no ac-
cident that the Tigers Won. But | will
leave this for another to dilate upon.
hi / want to tell my friends in the
baseball world is that tomorrow after
noon the Detroits will be here and will
face the local Tigers. That
ment should cause every fan to order
an extra ticket from Secretary Tom
Martin right off the reel. Anybody who
knows anything of baseball doesn't need
to be told anything about the Tigers
from Detroit. They are the topnotchers
of the American League, and let me re-
mark that if we had been given a fair
shake last May and June by certain
Jumps now out Of the game, the local
Tigers would be on top today. ] can
count seven games away from home
that We're handed to the opposing teams.
Especially is THIS true Of the first series
OF games with the Torontos. Conway
umpired those games, and we were
lambasting 'the life out of the Maple
Leaves. when the Infatuated fans arose
in the %grandstand and told Conway, '1f
YOU don't give us this game we will
throw you in the lake" and the
next minute Mullen was put out of the
game for calling Conway's attention to
Il misplay by a Toronto player.
But avaunt with these thoughts now.
Tomorrow the Tigers will be home.
Their good work deserves that they get
a royal reception. They deserve to be
met at the Pennsy depot with a brass
band tomorrow morning. But it will be
the Sabbath so the welcome home cerc-
monies will have to be postponed until
tomorrow afternoon.
The Detroits will be here with the
regular team. No substitutes will APP
pear in the playing unless one of the
regulars is injured. Ty Cobp, the pro-
mier batsman i'm the American League
will be on deck. and ! guess Mrs. cobb
will be here, too. Hughey Jennings
will give an imitation of how he wins
games with hat fog horn cry of his. 1T
will be a game worth going to see. 80
be there aud join in the greetings to
enc Of the best fighting teams that
ever represented this city in the East
orn League. 1t is expected thai 10000
fans will turn out and watch the local
Vioore scratch nm thp Tioar ont6t From,
Detroit. 7
If the locals win. well. what Is the
use Of talking about it? We don't want
the American League p%ennant. What
we do want is that Eastern League

Today has been one Of longing and

ON the very eve of the day the rle-

various contests. went home last night

This morning found j. Pluvius in fun
possession of olympic Park, where the
games were scheduled for.
At noon the pluvius fellow still had
the upper hand. but thS knights were
still hopeful.
The committee which arranged This
meet worked hard. and 1t is unfortu-
nate that the weathermgn could not
have handed out sunshine instead OF
the p%elting rain. If it should clear mp
before ) O'Clock today the meet will be

BROOKLYN SUPERBAS PICK
UP EIGHT GOOD RECRUITS.

BROOKLYN, Aug. 2e.-Perhaps not
a club in the National League has done
better in its hunt for mminor league
players for next season than the Brook
lyns. During the past month Charley
Ebberts, president of the Superbas, has
purchased eight men at an aggregate
cost OF ST, 900, every n Of whom prom
ises we'll. One of them has already re-
ported to the club, and, in the absence
of Billy Maloney, rs surely making good.
He is Tommy Mcmillan, of the Jack
sonville team, who, though really an
lnfielder. has been playing a bang-up
game at centre.
The others are: Edgar Lennox, in
fielder, of the Rochester Eastern
League team; H. Mcfilveen, third base
man, of the Nashville Southern League
club; Il. Catterson, an outfielder from
Brockton, with d batting average over
$50; G. Hunter, pitcher, from Nash
vile; j. Kustis, outfielder, from Evans
Vile, Ind, and a slugger; j. Dunn,

TIGERS MAKE IT EIGHT
STRAIGHT OVER BUFFALO

The Tigers just made mincemeat of
the Bisons in yesterdays double head
er. They pocketed the first game. 5 to
/, and then rubbed it in in the second,
l to 4. Only one did the Buffalo team
have a chance. That was in the second
battle, when Smiths men tied the score
in the sixth. hen the Bengals merely
piled mp o more runs in the following
inning, and won in a walk. Reckon
they'd like to nave that fellow Stalhngs
back in Buffalo in a role other than
that of a foe.
King Brockett flung the slants for
Newark in the opening setto. and until
the eighth inning the Bisons did not
have a chance to disturb the soil be-
tween third base and home. say moth
ing of winning. Beecher was effective
in the final struggle, but gave way to
Newton after he had winded himself
in running the bases. Beecher drove in
two runs by hitting for three bases in
the second round, and scored two him
self. As the score was tied when New
ton went to the mound, the doctor will
have to be credited with the victory.

agement of George T. Stallings, won
something like sixteen out of twenty
games from Newark. Stallings's men
are still winning at such a clip. but
it so happens hat the tall Georgian is

and nowadays the Tigers are doing the
winning. Just size up their record this
season. Yesterday the Bengals scored
their eighth straight victory over the
Bisons. They have won fourteen out of
their last eighteen games on the road.

ty-two, counting the games during

SOME MORE ACTIVITY.
Less Idle Machinery hut Wages and
Dividends Are Decreasing.

New York, March 20.-R. G. Dun &
cos weekly review of trade to-mor-
row will say:
Trade reports indicate a little more
activity and the percentage of Idle
machinery decreases hut more reduc-
tons in wages and dividends show
that the process OF readjustment will
take some time. Weather conditions
In all sections facilitate distribution
of seasonahlo wearing apparel and
house furnishings improving senti-
mont Thus far no strife is expected
to follow the new wage scales that go
into effect next month. Prices of Sc
Curities have fuctuated irregulerly
but no general weakness followed the
cuts in dividends as the previous de-
cline presumably discounted smaller
returns investments. Railway
earnings in two weeks of March were
1913 per cent. smaller than in 1907.
Immigration in February was scarcely
moro than onc-third as large as In the
same month last year.
Commercial failures this week in tho
United states are 1923 against 1922 last

CONSERVATIVE
IMPROVEMENT
Business Is Limited to Buying
Small Lots of Staple
Goods.
SPRING TRADE SMALLER
Warm weather Necessary 10 stimulate
Retail Business--Much Irregular
ity In the Ind,istriui situation
danger OF soft CoiL
strike More Remote.

New York. March 0--Bradstreet' s
state of trade tomorrow will say:
Improvement in sentiment and in ac-
tual demand continues but it proceeds
under the check rein of conservatism
which limits buying to small lots Of
staple goods. Spring jobbing trade has
apparently passed it's zenith with a total
trade larger than was expected some
months ago, but smaller than a year ago.
FAN trade is four to six weeks late in
opening M. As hitherto the chief activ-
ity has been in dry goods. and allied
lines Interest now naturally centers
upon the outlook for retail trade for
which warm spring weather is much to
be desired.
In Industrial lines there IS a good deal
OF irregularity While iron and steel
prices have been reaflirmcd pig iron
shows weakness despite more inquiry. \
large order for locomotives Is noted by
one trunk line but railroad buying is at
a low minimum and capacity as a whole
is only about half the possible volume.
The soft coal strike threatened for April
fret appears more remote. owing to con-
ciliatory talk. Somewhat more interest
IS shown in mems wear goods but trade
