the baseball luck was a against ths

Enterprise lost. 1t all goes to show
the glorious uncertainty of the grea,
national game. There's nothing sure
in baseball and no one knows it bet
ter than the players.
There's always something doing
when these two teams meet. They
are well matched and Enterpri je
would rather beat Wallowa than ge
the money while Wallowa re ole es
more over win from Enterprise
than a daddy over twins, yet the
personal relations between members
of the two teams is of the fri iendliast
nature.

II is significant that more cities had
increases than decreases. OF the 81
cities there were iRcreases in 20 and de-

the other way. with one or two eX-
ceptions. the heavy increases are in the
smaller cities, and these are widely scat
tered.

exceptions. is rapidly recovering from
the inactivity which had prevailed for
some time there, the increase for the
month being so per cent; Salt Lake City
has an increase OF 202 per cent. St. Jo-

FUTURE PROSPECTS
UNUSUALLY BRIGHT
New York Wakes Up From Its
Inactivity and Big Boom
Threatens.

Building in thirty-eight cities for the
month Of July shows decrease of only
per cent in comparison with the cor
responding month OF last year, indi-
eating that things are on the mend
and that the Improvement IS upon a
much greater scale than most people
would ordinarily suppose.
One gets a clearer idea Of the ex-
tent of the improvement by comparing
the decrease for July with the preced-
ing eight months. For the eight months
prior TO July the decreases were: Is
per cent for June. % for May, 25 for
April, 40 for March, Al for February.
SO for January, 25 for December, and
80 for November.
