 And for a second Pope and the ball, en route to the pan, ran neck and neck. Now it seemed that Pope would win Now it seemed to those who watched more closely. that the ball was gaining.
 In the meantime Tommy Raub stood posed with a prayer on his lip.
 There was a thud and a jarrng noise, and an imprenetrable cloud of dust.
 Dan Pfenninger elevated his right arm sharply and the day was done
 Montgomery's other run came in the first inning Kerwin opened with a double third, and Fleharty's wild pitch scored him.
 George pitched excellently until the sixth, and could not be hit even then. Fleharty opened with a luscious swat to left and Molesworth sacrificed him to second. Henline was hit with the bail and McGilvray was walked. Gyglis base on balls forced Fleharty home. Raub's fly to Whiteman sacrificed Henline across the pan.
 The third and winning run was scored in the eighth. Henline opened with ter rife single to center, and was sacrificed by Manuel wno went safe himself when Bliss failed to catch runner at second Gygi attempted to sacrifice, but was safe when Rockenfield tried to catch throw with a single paw and missed On this play Henline scored.

Studebaker Automobile

Concluding the most memorable con- vention run ever essayed in this coun- try at Denver on July 8, five Studebaker automobiles, carrying Illinois delegates to the democratic convention. established a reliability record for Illinois, Iowa.

 Although the party left Chicago on June 23. with a schedule to conclude on July 3, allowances were made for ex- ceptionally bad roads in Iowa and east ern Nebraska, in the event that Denver might not be reached until the morning of July f.
 tornado in the Missouri valley, deep mud between Omaha and the home of William Jennings Bryan at "Fairview,' ,' near Lincoln, and the heaviest kind of going in rain and storms on the gumbo trail near the Colorado state line, were among some of the vicissitudes of the trip.
 Yet lesurely schedule was maintained, not one of the cars reporting mechanical troubles from the moment the excursion was escorted from in front of the Stude- baker theatre by squadron of Chicago mounted police until the arrival in Dem yer, and might have been competing in sealed bonnet competition so far as the drivers were concerned.
 The baggage car, driven by George Snithson, 265-pounder, stood the hard bumpings better than did some of the baggage that had to be strapped in the tonneau of the big car.
 A remarkable freedom from tire troubles also is reported for this trip, only one puncture delaying ths train in Illinois, another in Iowa west of Cedar Rapids, and two in the rough going near Lincoln, Neb.
 Stops for the night were made at Dix on, Ill.,; Cedar, Rapids and Boone, Ia. i; Omaha, Valley, Lincols and Grand Island. Neb., and North Platte, Julesburg and Big Springs, Colo The tourists finished the last 20 miles amid the Cheers of 50,- 000 persons, who lined the streets, and were escorted by scores of autos who footed the train into Denver. The train finished in perfect condition, thereby ac- complaining one of the most successful auto feats ever attempted
 No trouble was experienced in getting supplies of gasoline or oil. and none of the passengers met with any serious ac- cident. Sunburn and the weather turned the tourists into real western-looking characters by the time they arrived at Fort Morgan, Col. where the cowboys gave them big dinner. Ovations and demonstrations that began in Chicago con tinued to be features at every stop along the itinerary.

 And the ball got by Gygn.
 But thanks to the hills of North Caro- lima which produced Andy Bowen, no run was scored, for the second baseman was behind the bag.
 Hart hit to Bowen, and went out at first, Rockenfeld crossing the platter. and Pope and Daly advancing to third and second.
 Then occurred in rapid succession pano- rama of thrilling plays that set the audi ence wild with excitement. Bliss. good hitter himself in a pinch stung one vici- ously to Bowen. The second-sacker got it, however, on the first bounce. He held the sphere until Pope showed no desire to advance to the plate. In the meantime Bliss was laundering toward first. But he went out Then Daley. alive with ami nal spirits, advanced half way between second and third. Gygli, with the ball in hand, started in his direction. Pope left third for gaze at the stars, and Gygli whipped the ball to Larsen. There was no alternative, and Pope started for the plate.
 Then the spectators beheld with awe that Gyglfs throw was bad.

The Jackson Cars

During the seven years Jackson cars have been on the market the makers have not felt the need of employing a corps of travelling experts to keep them in condition Only rarely has mechanic been sent from the factory on a relief expedition, and in practically every in- stance the trouble has been found to have been wholly or largely due to in- capable handling, or accidents, or both. Those who build good automobiles have two things to pray for, good roads and competent drivers; those who build poor automobiles never pray at all.

YOUNG EGYPT CONGRESS.

The second Congress Of the Jeunesso
Egyptienne began at Geneva on September
Ii. There were present about 100 Egyptian
delegates. Messrs. Keir Hardie, NJ. P, and
Barnes, NJ. P, represented the English La
bour party, Messrs. Kettle, NJ. p, and Halle
ton, ". P, the Irish party. The audience
was a small one, the Geneyese,i it would seem,
being uninterested in the affair. Mahomed
FANNY, the president. opened the Congress
in q short and moderate speech, III which he
welcomed the delegates, especially the Irish
%"auxquels IN sort cOmmun nous unit CONNIE
frores d'infortune.' He insisted on the
point that the Egyptians were capable OF
ruling themselves. Hilmi MOssalam, a young
LAWYER, followed in q very long speech on
the international situation IN Egypt from the
historical and the legal point of Wow. He
frequently quoted The Times articles Of
1881, including the phrase 9under the pre-
sent circumstances an ally is more q hlndrance
than a help, and further on said that Tbs
Times began a campaign against Abbas
Hllmi "ayec une grossioret6 inoule.' He
made several violent attacks on the British
occupation Of Egypt in the course Of his
speech.
After luncheon the''mooting was continued.
Mr.. Blunt's message to the Congress was
read. 1t advised the Young Egyptian party
to pull together. 1t was received with en-
thusiasm. Then Hamed Alaidy read in En-
glish q striking paper entitled "Misdeeds OF
the Occupation" by Osman Sabry, which
resembles H)la's "J'accuse, 3" only it started
with 1--WE charge England" and continued
thus for d dozen charges.
Iuhanmatory Speeches.
Tuesdays proceedings opened calmly and
ended at midday in the greatest enthusiasm
as the result Of two rather violent speeches
bv Loutf Goumah and Mr.. Kettle, NJ. ?.
Mr.. Keir Hardie gave the Young Egypt
ians much good advice, encouraging them IN
their efforts 10 secure a Constitution. Louth
Goumah and Mr.. Kettle delivered fiery
sneecbes. The former recalled that that
was the anniversary Of the Tel-el-h 9blr mas
sacre. when $4,000 felIaheen We're defeated.
But their souls had never been conquered,
and at present u, 900 600 persons we're
suffering oppression. T~wenty-seven years
ago they were ready for autonomy. What
right had any body to ask them if they were
fit for a Constitution ? They might take hun
dreds of wears to educate and train them
selves. but they did not want foreign inter
%vention.
Mr.. Kettle followed il equally violent Ian
guage. He said be had come with Mr.. Ha-
zleton to assure the Congress Of the symPa-
thy of Ireland in their struggle. Mr.. Dillon
wished them courage and hope. Nothing
was more natural than friendship between
the two disinherited nations having the same
aspirations, the same enemy in this cold and
stupid England. Let Egypt follow the glo,,
nous example Of Turkey. The English had
outstayed their welcome in Egypt. He ended
his speech with the words, "Long live Egypt
free" Prolonged applause followed, min
pIed with shouts of "Long live Ireland =
"'Long live Egypt The sitting then ad-
ioutned for the afternoon, and the dele
gates made an excursion on a lake steamer

IRON CONTENT AND COLOUR
OF SOIL.

A paper read at the fortieth general
meeting of the American hemical Society
states that a chemical examination of twenty
typical red and yellow soils showed that
their inorganic colouring matter consisted
chiefly of iron oxide; manganese compounds
were present in amounts too small Ito have
an effect on the colour. 1t is argued that
the comparatively small difference in soil
temperature in any two localities where the
tints are different is insufficient to uphold
the explanation that variations in coloura-
ton are due to the presence of iron oxide
in various states of hydration. The differ
ent shades are, on the contrary, held to be
due to the extent to which the film OF oxide
has been deposited on the soil particles
thin films give yellow, and thicker ones red,
soils. Experiments in which films Of IRON
oxide were precipitated on sands and grains
of quartz -four of different sizes, the per-
centage of iron being kept constant, SO that
deposits of different thickness were obtain
ed, afforded confirmation of this view. IND.
