ATTACK ON COTTON
WORM is SUCCESSFUL
Danger to Egyptian Crop Is Not
Yet Past

Ronald Graham. British adviser to
the Egyptian ministry of the Interior
who recently made tour of inspection
in lower Egypt. in speaking of what he
saw to the correspondent of Reuters
(British) news agency, said that the
steps which had been taken for the de-
struction of the cotton worm had
proved highly successful. there being
only about three badly affected areas
He was satisfied with the work that had
been done, but it was too early to make
any prediction as to what sort of cot
ton crop might be anticipated. There
was no knowing what havoc the boil
worm, might work in September, when
it usually makes It's appearance. The
only known means OF alieviating the
trouble was by spraying" but dim
Guilty was found in penetrating far
enough to destroy the worm, and great
danger was run OF spelling the cotton
in the exercise of the remedy il any
force were used. A permanent COM
mission has been appointed to inquire
into the question of cotton growing in
Egypt in all it's ramifications, and Cor
don said that it remains to be seen
whether the commission. after its in
vestigations and deliberations. can offer
any suggestions for preventing the
ravage made by the worm.

to and came very near setting the
San Francisco fan. wild.
And still Oakland-s troubles We're pill
ing up. Lively, in q vain endeavor to
put some mysterious stuff on the next
one, made wild pitch. Eastley Just
sauntered home and the score was a
tie Melchior chopped down one of
those twisting infeld hits. and while
Lively was booting it around the lot
Shaw raced in from second and San
Francisco was in the lead.
After that time there was no chance
for Oakland to do any good Eastley
pitched magnificent baseball and got
magnificent support. One hit. that from
the bat of Willie Hogan. was all the
which Eastley served. Oakland seemed
to lose all it's class once the Seals
jumped into the lead.
The Commuters got away to a grand
start. piling up two tallies in the OPEN
ing spasm. With Maggart out of the
way Wares beat an infeld hit and
stole second. Hogan followed with a
Hogan watched his chance and went
to second on the throw to third to
catch Wares, who had overrun the bag.
1t looked like a very close decision
on Van Haltren's part, but he gave Oak
land the shade. calling Wares safe.
Then SWander started grounder down
to MeArdle. Mac fielded the ball in
great form, but he made a wild heave
to the plate and both Wares and Hogan
registered. Oakland thus got nice
2to 0,lead.
The old warhorse, Harry Wolverton,
boosted the ball over the right field
fence in the next frame, and Oakland
was there, 8 to 0. In the fifth they
hammered in another run on bingles
by Hogan and Pfyl, so 1t looked as
though the Seals would never be able
to catch up.
Once San Francisco got started,
Lively came in for the worst beating
he has received in many a day. He
did not seem to have thing that was
puzzling to the Seals. The chances are
that Oakland would still have won out
but for that passed ball and that wild
pitch, both of which came at very op-
perfume times for San Francisco. The

FACT BEATS FICTION IN
STRANGE SYRIAN CASE
Witness Had Stepbrother Who
Died 40 Years Before

Dramatists and novelists are often
accused of stretching, their imagina-
tions too far, but fact can always beat
fiction For example, the presiding
magistrate at police court in Syria
was astonished to hear q witness, when
asked If he had any brothers, reply
that he had one, but that he died 40
years ago. Pressed for an explana-
ton, witness stated that he was the
Issue of second marriage. His father
married his first wife in 1859, at the
age of 10. and the following year there
WAS born q son, who died when only a
few months old. The latter's father
married again in 1920. at the age of
20. and witness was born the year fol-
lowing. Being SO years of age when
giving evidence. the interval since the
death of the first child was thus ex-
tended to 40 years.
