In the last round Hogan made
frantic efforts to end his man.
Frayne rushed into clinches, how

hung on and took the blows OF
Hogan until the bell sounded.

FARMS ARE BEING
WASHED AWAY

The Puyallup river is on a ram
page again tearing out good agri-
cultural land in the valley. The
Puyallup and White rivers are
continually eating up good farms
and delegation of Mcmillan resi-
dents came in Saturday asking the
county commissioners to do some
timing to stop the trouble.
To furnish adequate relief the
rivers would have to be dyked and
piled for miles.

Tales of Great 'Uns

If base ball lives to be 10000
years old, it will never see a du-
plicate of Eddie Beatins third
strike on Harry stovey in 1887 or
'SS. There never was anything
like 1t; there never will be.
Beatin had the most deliberate
slow ball that ever wearied its
way toward a plate. Cy Young.
Mathewson, Ed Walsh, Mordeeai
Brown, Addie Joss or any of the
artists would gladly separate from
$4,000 for a loaf ball like Beatin's
The batter never knew when Beat
in wound up whether the ball
would come like Johnny Moisant
or an A. d. T. boy.
On the afternoon when stovey
starred, Beatin was in grand
shape and had the Athletics to /
in the eighth. In the ninth, with
two gone, three Athletics pranced
about on the bases with Stovey
up. A grand batter, lightning
runner, q splendid all-around
player was Harry. A single meant
a tie game; a two-base hit meant
defeat.
Beatin had the nerve of q
wrestling promoter. He shot the
first one straight across.
"Strike!" yelled the jumps.
Beatin grinned as he wound VI
and whipped a hot one across or
the inside. Stovey let 1t pass.
Strike two" the arbitrator an
|nounced.
Everyone thought Beatin would
waste the next one, but he had q
noodle and he used it, With a
motion exactly like that with
which he delivered the first two
strikes, he passed one of those
teasers up to Stovey. The ball
seemed to hang in the air like q
soap bubble.
When Stovey thought the ball
ought to be somewhere near him
he swung with terrific force
missing 1t by feet--for the ball
was nowhere near the plate.
Then something funny happen
ed. Just as the umpire started
his three Strikes" Stovey drew
back and swung again. This time
he landed and the ball sailed over
leenter, two men coming home.
But the umpire said may"
Icalled Stovey out and the game
over.
Why doesn't that hit COUNT"
Stovey demanded.
Because. Harry" said the UNI

John Clarkson once made a play
which will never be forgotten by
those who saw it. He was pitch
ing for Chicago against New York.
With the score 10 in the ninth
and one man out, the second man
up tripled. Clarkson passed the
next man and then began an ap-
parent effort to catch him off
first. / guess he threw to Arson
Is or 20 times and all the time
the crowd was yelling at him to
pitch. All the time the runner on
third was getting holder, just as
Clarkson and Kelly knew he
would. Every time Clarkson
threw to Arson he ran up the base
line 10 RIO feet. Finally John
made his usual motion to throw
this was allowed then-and
whirled like a flash, throwing to
Burns at third, catching the run
ner off the base by a dozen feet.
He then struck out the third man
and the game was over.

Living cost has advanced consistent
ly upward during the recent years
Efforts to learn why prices have in
creased have not been very satisfac-
torily answered. The farmer has in
sisted that he is not to blame, the
butcher has blamed the packer, and
the latter has completed the circuit by
shifting the responsibility to the agri-
culturist, and the prices of foodstuffs
have continued to soar. 1t may not
help the American pocketbook any to
know hat the increase in the cost of
living is not confined to m particular
subdivision, but it may contribute a
mite to the food for reflection to earn
something of the situation in other
parts Of the world.
So widespread has been the demand
for information concerning the present
value of foodstuffs here and abroad
that many of the United States consu1s
and consular agents have been e.
quested to investigate and report con
corning prices of foodstuffs. In gen
eral it appears that food prices abroad,
and in cities where the wage rate is
much lower thar in this country, are
as high as they are here. The re-
ports indicate that the prices have
been increased principally because the
| supply has not kept pace with the de-
mand and not owing to any combina-
ton for the purpose of increasing the
| rates on the various articles.
In Hamburg, Germany, the average
price Of sirloin steak is 34R cents a
pound, the latest quotation on tender
loin being 1878 cents. Veal chops
bring 32H cents, while leg of veal is
quoted at 30 cents. Pork ranges in
10 to 80 cents and lam from 10 to 81
cents, the latter being the price for a
fine grade of the sliced article. These
prices are furnished by a first class
dealer, whose prices are neither the
highest nor the lowest, but there is
slight variation between dealers in
fashionable and questionable, the
chances being that the superior cuts
of meats will be found in the shops
where the highest prices prevail.
| From Hanover, which is considered an
inexpensive city in which to live, the
following prices are quoted: Beef
and veal, 2OA cents; pork and muttoo,
10; smoked ham, So; bacon, 22h;
wheat flour, Az; rye flour, 3h; wheat
bread, 5A; rye bread, 3; coffee, me-
dunn Java, roasted, 1914; table butter,
81; milk, per quart, Al; eggs. per
dozen, 40.
On the basis of income, the German,
in comparative occupation with the
American worker, should not pay more
than SO per cent of the prices he now
pays for his food, but as a matter If
fact he pays as much as the PEG pie
here, excepting milk, potatoes and
other vegetables. Consul Robert J.
Thomson accounts for ability to live
under such conditions to the fact that
the German ho~usekeeper is rigidly eco
nomical and would be able to maintain
her table and exist fairly well on the
waste of many American families OF
similar position in life. SO high is
