will stop them. They will simply
romp away with the penant. Bar
beau, the little third baseman, who
was out Of the game for some time, Is
again on third and batting like a
streak.
In this figuring I have left New
York out. Or course the Giants may
have a look in at the end Of the sea-
son, but they will have a hard time
overcoming lead of twelve games.
The Pirates and Cubs must take an
awful slump and New York must do
some good playing in order to have a
look in. Matthewson ard Wiltse are
the only really dependable pitchers
they have at present Their batting
too Is failing off. Still one never can
tell and at the end OF the season, Chi.
cago, Pittsburg and New York may be
racing neck and neck as last year.
II one counts the batting average of
Abbaticchio, the absence Of Wagner
from the Pittsburg team for the last
week has not crippled the team as
much as would be supposed. Abby,
playing at Wagners position has in
deed filled his shoes as far as any
man could. He has made but one
error in the eaneH he hos PLAYED and
has batted as good as any otter man
on the team during that period.
There are a good many infelders
In the major leagues that will have TO
take off their hats to him. or course
Wagner's shoes simrfy can't be filled.
His absence seems to effect the team
through their loss of confidence. as
well as the loss OF his wonderful field
ing and batting. With him back in
the game and batting as usual the
Pittsburg team viii no doubt make
up for a gcad bit or lost time.
In the American leasue Detroit
Philadelph'a and 9oston are runnine
almost neai5 TO neck, but 40 points
separating them.

Big LEAGUE RACES TIGHTEN
Only Two Months Of the Present
Base Ball Season Remaining.
Interesting Finish Sure.
tBY A JAY COOK,

Pittsburg-From August there
are but two months of the present
major league season remaining, the
last game being played on October Z
The Pittsburg team which Cooked
a sure winner a few weeks ago, has
failed to keep it's wonderful work up
and as a result Chicago is now but
few points behind the leaders. This
Is not the result of any particular
slump by the Pirates, but rather 1t Is
due to the phenomenal ball played by
the Cubs during the lust three or four
weeks. With Reulbach and Brown In
their present condition, Chance has
two of the greatest pitchers in the
league and it seems impossible to
beat either one Of them. The team
work is perfect and they have at last
hit a batting streak.
On the other hand the Pirates
pitching staff IS not the best In the
league. Camnitz and Willis are the
only really reliable men Clarke has.
Leifield and Maddox are beginning to
blow up toward the last of the games.
OF course PHILIPPE and Lever are
still there though not as in former
years. On the whole the pitching
staff falls slightly below that of the
Cubs. 1t is In batting that the
Pittsburg team shines. With Wag-
ner, Miller, Clarke and Leach they
have four Of the best batters in the
league. If the Pirates start swat
ting the ball as they should, nothing

Aggregate Slightly Higher rnan on
August l, 1908.
Washington, Special.-Crop conc
tions in the United States on August
/, 1909, were in the aggregate slight
" higher than on August 1, 1908, and
moderately higher than a lO-year
average condition of all crops on Au-
gust l. In addition to the higher con-
dition the acreage Of cultivated crops
is about Is per cent greater than last
year. So says a general review OF
crop conditions issued Monday. Win
ter wheat, spring wheat, corn, oats,
rye, fax and grapes were better than
last year and the 1O-year average;
barley and potatoes were better than
the condition on August l last year,
but slightly below the average con-
dition. Tobacco and sweet potatoes
were belts, than the average and
lower than last year. Important
crops which were below both last year
and an average condition are cotton,
rice, hay, buckwheat and apples. Con-
ditions vary, however, in different
sections Of the United States.

Sir Thomas has approached both
Fife and Myline, the most famous de-

a boat would be such a magnificent
freak that they would not dare crust

Sir Thomas says he has many
friends among yachtsmen in America
and has only the kindliest feelings for
Americans in general, but cannot un-
derstand why exceptional regulations
are made in this case, and he has
heretofore found the American yachts
men fair, square and above board.

AS to the wedding veil, its disposal
lis a matter of taste, If worn over
the face, a separate short piece for
this purpose is pinned on at the
front of the coiffure, to be taken OFF
at the chancel rail by the maid OF
honor or one Of the bridesmaids, and
not put back again. Most brides
in this country wear the veil off the
face. The same rules as to dress ap
ply at home as if the bride is mar
ried at church.
The bridesmaids usually wear hats.
but a very pretty custom, followed
much in Europe, is the wearing OF a
tulle veil instead of hat This veil,
which is adjusted with a wreath OF
flowers, and OF course worn back
from the face, is always becoming.
The veil matches the gown in color,
and the flowers are the same as those
in the bouquet. The bridesmaid and
maid of honor both wear gloves

ALABAMA A DRY STATE.

Governor Conner Signs Carmichael
Prohibition Bill, Which Makes the

Montgomery, Ala, Special.-Gov-
ernor Conner on Monday afternoon
signed the Carmichael prohibition
bill.
Under this act it is unlawful to sell
or to store any liquids containing
more than one-half of one per cent
alcohol. The locker clubs are illegal
and the possession of United States
internal revenue license shall be con-
s;dered prina facie evidence Of guilt.
Truly, Alabama is dry state.
The Fuller bill, and the Ballard bill
are still pending in the House. They
are more radical than the Carmichael
bill and are designed to aid in the
enforcement of the latter. The Fuller
bill prohibits any sort of liquor ad-
vertising and throws every safeguard
around the law. The Ballard bill
provides for the impeachment OF Of
fcers who fail to put the law into
effect. Both of these bills will be
passed.

Tale of Tangled Finance Through
Which Somebody in Wall Street
Nipped f. Augustus Heinze.
New York, Special-Donald L.
Persch, an ambitious young fnancier,
whose Offices constituted merely desk
room in a downtown note brokers'
Office, is in the Tombs in default of
$4,000 bail, and thereby hangs tale
Of tangled finance through which
somebody in Wall Street nipped f.
Augustus Heinze, the one-time cop
per king, for $4,000 Persch is
specifically charged with the larceny
of $4,000, a profit obtained by tho
sale of 15,6OO shares Of Ohio copper
common and 1900 shares of Davis
DAILY copper common, which an agent
for Heinze placed with the Windsor
Trust Company, of this city, as Sc
curity for a loan of $4,000.
The stock was not held by the
bank but was turned over to a clerk
acting for Persch and at the latter's
orders thrown on the curb market
and sold for approximately 100000.
How Persch obtained the capital to
carry through the deal and why the
stock was relinquished by the trust
company are points yet to be clear
ed up.
After his arrest Monday afternoon
Persch was arraigned before magis-
trate and, after unsuccessful efforts
of his lawyer to have bail reduced to
$4,000, was committed to the Tombs,
although his counsel later procured a
writ OF habeas corpus returnable
Tuesday morning. His examination
was set for Friday.
District Attorney Jerome took ac-
tive charge of the case and other ar
rests may be made.
Persch, according to the police, has
heen arrested twice before, once for
forgery on charge made by request
of his father, and another in connec-
tion with taking subscriptions for
an ice fund. Both charges were
dropped.

Anderson spent $7S,2S7:S0 on public

was spent in the period commencing
June 80, 1908, and ending December
81, 1908, beng largely for repairs of
damages wrought by the, August

expended for the schools is probably
due to the increased number of
schools, the additional teachers en-
ployed and the special school taxes.
