The individual grower Of white po-
tatoes can form a pretty fair notion Of
prospective market conditions and in
directly or the prices which he may
reasonably expect from the following
report Oh Irish potatoes put out by the
crop reporting board of the depart
ment of agriculture Aug. 4, crop con-
ditions not having changed materially
since that date. The condition Of the
crrp ut the time mentioned was T0S
as compared with SG.3 Oh July |, S5-S
on Aug. |. 1909. and 81 for the ten
year average These figures show u
slump OF just 10 per cent from the con-
dition of the crop year ago. As the
season develops we believe the dis
crepancy Will Dc greater than this.
which will mean that the grower can
insist on 80 cents or better In the field
is price which rs can reasonably ex
pect for car lots and if he can hold his
crop he will likely get Is cents per
busheI by the 18th Of. November.

Nebraska pure food laws need over
hauling if reports relative to condi-
tons found in Omaha last spring can
be relied upon. An investigation by
the local board of health revealed the
fact the parties who had been award
ed the contract for removing dead ami
mails from the city were feeding the
carcasses to big drove OF hogs. which
when fattened were doubtless worked
up into pure leaf lard" and fancy
hams and bacon. An inspection Of the
premises where these hogs were kept
revealed pile of more than 500 car
casses Of horses, cattle. dogs, cats and
other animals. Being outside the city
limits, the case was beyond the juris-
diction Of the city health officers. while
no law of the state prescribed any lin
it on the stuff which may be fed to
hogs

Last fall the farmer i'm the north part
of the corn belt was very much be
tween the devil and the deep sea.
Those who husked too early before the
corn was dried out were compelled
later to remove the sides Of their cribs
and spread the corn out on the ground
SO as to keep II from heating and spoil
Ing, while many who left the JOB until
after Thanksgiving SO that the corn
might dry out were caught with heavy
SHOWS. which prevented getting into
their fields until March and April. liz
was wearing on fellows nerves Id
either event. The present fall may not
give any better ripening conditions
but many a corn grower will hope 50.

GOOD FAST BASEBALL
PROMISED FOR TOMORROW

At least one game of the two sche-
duled for tomorrow afternoon at Ath~
letic park should prove to be an inter
esting one, if the Wasedas play as
they have played in some of the
games in the past. The crack, unde-
feated Oahu College Alumni team will
meet the visitors in the second game
tomorrow. The last game played be-
tween these teams ended in a 10
score in favor of Punahou after seven
teen innings of the best baseball ever
witnessed in Honolulu.
The Wasedas of late have been
playing very Indifferent ball as COM
pared to what they did on their ar
rival. but something is going to be
doing in the rest of their games ac-
cording to Professor Abe.
Both teams will put in their strong
est players tomorrow, as neither one
wishes to take any chances.
Punahou so far nave won every
game they have played in, and if they
manage to win tomorrow and next
Saturday they will win the champion
ship of the International series.
The Waseda team will rearrange
their players so that the infield will
he as strong as it is possible to make
it, as they are determined to do every
thing in their power to win the game
from the so far champions.
Castle will probably be in the box
for the Alumni, with Hampton ready
for the first call. The rest of the
team will probably line up as they did
in the last weeks game.
The first game tomorrow between
the J. A. C.'s and Marines should end
IN a victory for the former team, I'M
less the sea soldiers take wonderful
brace. Gibson or Peyton will do the
twirling for the Marines, while Es-
pinda or Kealoha will act in the same
capacity for the champions of last
year.
The first game will be started at
the regular time, the second being
scheduled for three thirty.
Sundays games will be p. A. c. VS.
]. A. G. and G. A. G.. VS.. Waseda. Tc
predict the winners is rather hard tc
do, but taking past games into con
sideration the J. A. C.'s and C. A. C.'s
should win.

couldn't stand in the coaching box to-
day without going through his rig
marole. What was once a vital thing
now has become a fixed habit in his
playing life.
Hans Wagners motions on first
base when he seems to be doing the
extension" as gymnastic dancers call
it. meant something once. He either
wanted the batter to bunt or to let
the first one go by. Now Hans uses
it without noticing. 1t has grown to
be a part of him.
McGraw has to bend down like a
Jap at least once during a game while
he is coaching. Fred Clarke of the
pirates can't help drawing a line in
front of the plate with his bat, and Joe
Cantillon. once manager of the Sen
ators, found it necessary to stand with
his hands in his sweater coat pockets.
All these habits started from signals.

QUEER BASEBALL HABITS

SAN FRANCISCO, July 17.-Ban
players get into some queer habits.
Take Frank Chance, manager of the
Chicago cubs, for example, Chance is
the victim of hahit, caused by the
signal system. Every fan who has
seen Chance bat remembers the mo-
tions he always goes through before
taking actual position at hat He
walks out from the bench and stands
in the batting box. So far he acts
as any player. But then comes his
habit. He puts the bat between his
knees and jerks his belt. Then he
grabs the bat and swings rapidly.
This jerking at his belt is a habit
which he simply can't get away from.
He does it mechanically, he says Sc
veral years ago that belt jerking had
a separate and distinct meaning in
baseball. Since that time other sig
mails have been Matched for these
plays, but Chance got so into the habit
that it has become part of his base
ball life. So he bitches up his trous-
ers.
"Hughey" Jennings habits have be-
come famous throughout the circuit
In every instance they started from
signals. Whenever he pulls at the
grass near the coaching box, kicks one
leg into the air and throws both hands
out with a loud resounding "E-yah"
the fans laugh and say There's Jen.
nings again"
Each one Of these things once had a
separate and distinct meaning to the
batters or the runner, Jennings simply

MILITARY LEAGUE PAU.

AS a result of too much baseball
the officers of the Military Baseball
league have decided to disband, pend
ing the organization of the new league
that is being talked Of.
The games scheduled for tomorrow
and Sunday have been called off, and
unless the Marines and Cavalry teams
play later on for the championship
there will be no more baseball this
year under the auspices of the NJ. 3.
L.
Prospects look very bright for the
formation of a big league which will
be composed of the best teams in the
city if present plans do not miscarry.
If the new league is formed the
games will start shortly after the
completion of the present interna-
tional series.
The final standing of the teams in
the Military league are as follows:

Both the principals have completed
their heavy training, today and tomor-
row being devoted to light work so
that they will be able to enter the ring

close to three a game. White less

Mathewson distributed only SO bases

ABOUT LEFT-HANDERS.

SAN FRANCISCO, July lit is a
common expression in baseball that
when portside pitcher goes through
a game with one or two bases on balls
''he had good control for a left-hand-
er." AS a matter of fact, when it
comes down to that, there are some
left-handers, and not by any means
striking scarcity of them, who have
quite as good control day in and day
out as most righthanders. There
aren't any southpaws who have as
good control as Matheson, but Mathe-
son has exceptionally good control
among right or left handlers The two
left-handed pitchers who have been in
the EoX for the Highlanders this sea-
son have put the ball over the plate
as well as any rtghthanders, those
/ two being Vaughan and Frill. Waugh
an has shown noticeably good control
Another left-hander whose control is
nearly always conspicuously good for
right or left handler is Wiltse of the
Giants. Control is his long suit. Plank
of the Athletics is a left-hander VINO
has nice control as a rule, and so
has Doc White of the White Sox
Among the left-handers of the olden
days Lady" Baldwin was possessed
of effective command of the ball.
Wildness was not among his faults,
while Matt Kilroy had fine control and
Ed Morris knew how to and could put
the ball where he wanted to.
1t must be conceded, however, that
the very best control is SHOWN by the
right-handed pitchers. Also among
the pitchers who did the most work
last year two or threee left-handers
We're conspicuous by the number of
balls they issued. There was Killian
of the Tigers, for instance. In 173
| innings, about 10 games, he gave 49
passes to first, which is an average of
nearly three strolls a game. Nap
Ruccker of the Brooklyns gave 1O1
bases on balls in 9S games last year,
which was almost three a game.
seem so very many wnen you come to
think of it, not enough to harp on
wildness, yet Rucker gave more bases
on balls than any leading big league
left handler except Killian and Karger.
Mattern of the Boston Doves in tor
ty-seven games dispensed 1O1 prone
nades to first base Leifeld of the
PittsDurgs had only 81 in 80 games.
Lush of the Cardinals provided 65
walks in "a games. In 275 innings,
about 80 games, last year, Plank walk.

COMPANY A. WINS.

By defeating Co. C yesterday after,
noon at Camp Very, Co. A. won the
final game of the first series for the
championship of the Marine Battalion
Baseball league
Both teams played very ragged
game at times, although Co. A took a
brace which finally won the game by
a ga score
Battin of Co. c. was not up to his
usual form Ii the box and allowed a
number of hits that should never have
been made. After a rest of few days
the scheduled games in the second
series will be started

BOAT CLUBS AS HOSTS.

A smoker will be given at the Myr-
tie Boat Club on Monday night by the
members of the club in honor of the
visiting yachtsmen on board the
yachts Sweetheart and Mollilou. In
addition to the visitors, the crew of
the Hawaii have been cordially invit-
ed to lie present and to relate all
about the victory of the Hawaii.
One of the best programs ever ar
ranged in Honolulu will be presented
by local talent, in honor of the men
who braved the dangers of the sea for
the sake of sport.
Several novel stunts have been plan
ned which will no doubt bring down
the club house with the applause that
will be received.
Songs, dances, stories, boxing and
other forms of amusement will be on
the program for the benefit of the
deep water sailors, while food and
soft drinks will help to satisfy the in
ner man.
Judging from the number of invita-
tions that have been sent out, the
club house will be severely taxed tc
accommodate the guests. The big do
ings will start about eight thirty and
will be kept up until a late hour ac
cording to the members of the com
mittee who have the affair in hand.
