 Manager MeGray, believing Shat the three day lay off was not conducive to the bt st interests of his players today, de- spite the almost continuous downfall of rain, took the team out to the National league grounds and gave tbem some practice In batting and throwing.
 There was no attempt at fast work. After remaining on the field for about an hour and half the men were driven to cover by heavier rain. Manager Me Graw said after his return to the hotel that he only wished to give the boys an opportunity to Timber up.
 The New York manager remains re- ticent when approaehed with the query as to his pitching probability. It is reas- onably sure that it will Be either Mathew son or Marquard, and most likely the former, now that he has had three full days of rest, and that Marquard will be saved for the fifth game in New York
 There is little doubt but that Manager Mack will send Bender to the mound in the fourth game and probably Coombs ill the fifth.

OF combating tho mosquito 10 by the

The gas method. according to Mr..
Smith. was discovered by accident.
I'VE started using OIL" he says,
but there was complaint that this
gummed up the sewage drains. and
then our chief sanitary oficer hit
upon the use OF calcium carbide. One
day In cleaning out his automobile
lamps he threw some Of the calcium
carbide into an old bucket In which
were a lot Of embryonic mosquitoes.
The next morning he discovered that
the wigglers were all dead. He made
some experiments and found that cal.
