PTTTSBURG, August THAT the Pitts
burg club is to be feared until the 1911
pennant Is won was the opinion express
ed yesterday by Manager John ]. Nc
Graw of the New York Giants.
McGraw, one of the greatest and most
astute pilots who ever directed the for
tunes of a major league base ball club
declared that you have rafting good
club here in Pittsburg"; and that there
are good players and a lot Of brains in
the Pirate organization"
The Giants chiefs opinion Of Fred
Clarke is well known. Last season Nc
Graw took occasion to pay a we'll deserv-
ed tribute to the Corsair boss. declaring
him to be one Of the greatest managers
who ever lived; and in addition to this
star performer and a hard worker.
81 am not making any predictions now%%
said McGraW. The race is one OF the\
hardest can recall; and it is up to every
manager. as well as every player. to put
forth his very best efforts. There Is no
time for shirking-there is no room for
soldiers; a man in base ball must pro-
duce or show cause why.
Not Claiming Pennant.
THE National League struggle is tight
ening up and soon there will be a parting
of the ways Five clubs are in the chase
after the flag. It may be that all Of
these will continue to the end; but If
they do. they will have to travel at
grueling pace"
Asked concerning New Yorks chances
for the flag, McGraw said:
That's one subject on which am not
talking Just now. Nothing that / could
say would improve our chances: SO what's
the use of discussing the matter? We are
going ahead as best We can. winning q
game here and losing ono there. All OF
our players are going well and We have
very little to complain about.
New York's pitchers are doing well.
Matty was good Wednesday despite the
fact that he was touched up rather freely.
You saw what he did while there were
men on bases. Marquard is winning
majority Of his games; Wiltse. Ames,
Crandall and Drucke are all holding up,
and with our infield, outfield and back
stopping department we'll cared for. we
are content to go along, winning games
whenever and wherever we can.
Queried concerning his opinion OF the
Pirates-their chances for the pennant.
etc.. the New York manager said:
You have q rafting good club in Pitts
burg. Things haven't been breaking extra
well for you; but there are good players
and a lot Of brains in the Pirate organiza-
ton, and 1 feel satisfied that your club
is going to remain in the chase after the
pennant."

Boot and Shoe Expectations
From The United States

The American shoe manufacturer is
extending his sales in all parts Of the
world. The fiscal year 1880 we ex-
ported less than 100000 pairs of boots
and shoes; in 1890, 100000 pairs; in
1900, over million pairs; in 1905,
over million pairs in 1910, over 7
million pairs, and in the calendar year
which ends with next month the mum
ber will exceed 8 million pairs, to say
nothing of the | million pairs going
to Porto Rico and Hawaii These fig
ures relate to boots and shoes of
leather while if to this we add those
of India rubber, We get an additional
million, bringing the total number
of American made boots and shoes
passing out Of continental United
States in 1911 up TO an average of a
million pairs per month, against about
a half million per annum 20 years ago
This increase, it should be remem-
bered, has come in the face of large
manufacture in foreign countries of
boots and shoes called American
manufactured by foreign workmen and
of foreign material but upon American
patterns and following American meth
DDS of manufacture. 1t is a well known
fact that large quantities of shoes
sold in various parts of the world un-
der the title of American are, in
fact, made in European countries upon
patterns and forms and methods of
manufacture developed in the great
manufacturing establishments of the
United States; and it is thus probable
that the number of boots and shoes of
American type and thus American in
the sense of form and method of man
ufacture sold in foreign countries is
very much greater than that indicated
by the mere figures of expectation. In
actual exports of boots and shoes man
ufactured in the United States, the
total for the year which ends with
next month will, as above indicated,
aggregate more than 12 million pairs,
including in this figure those Of India

boots and shoes to the world. Her ex-
ports of boots and shoes are still
greater both in total number of pairs
and total value than those of the Unit
ed States, but the growth in her case
is far less rapid tina nthat of this coun-
try The number of pairs exported from
the United States in 1895 was 965. 1876
and in 1910, 7,S10,903; the number OF
pairs exported from the United King
dom in 1895 was S,095,440; and in 1910,
1903, $50; the percentage of gain in
the case of the United Kingdom being
81 per cent, and in the case of the
United States, nearly no per cent.
The value of leather boots and shoes
exported from the United States, how
ever, is more nearly identical with that
of like exports from the United King
dom, having been in the calendar year
1910 s19,216,237 against S14744,969
for the United Kingdom, the average
price per pair of those exported from
the United States having been S1.69,
against $113 for those exported from
the United Kingdom.

PETROLEUM EXPERIMENTS.
Report of Interest to Oil Men Issued
BY United States Geological
Survey.

The United States Geological Survey
has for several years carried on ex-
perimental work in cooperation with
the Johns Hopkins University to de-
termine the cause of the differences in
color, gravity, and other features Of
crude oils found in the same oil field.
Fifteen years ago David T. Day found
that crude oil can not ooze through
pores of dry shales without leaving
oils it contains. The experiments
showing this fact made it seem pos
sible that differences between various
Pennsylvania oils were due to the den.
sity and the dryness of the shales
through which they had been diffused,
and suggested that these simpler Penn.
sylvania oils may have been diffused
through shales from more complicated
asphaltic oils containing sulphur

In the farming districts we need

better methods of cooperation among

of improved material condition we
must strive to build higher superstruc-
ture of full social, intellectual and
spiritual life for the men and women
who live on the farms.
In this matter the cities can help
and ought to help and Spokane has
shown its ability to take the lead In
helping. But it is, of course, the farm
ers themselves who in the end must
give us the lead and the rest of Us
must turn in and back them up and

Oscar E. Bransky. The authors par
ticularly emphasize the results of re-
cent experiments made by them to
determine whether it is simply the
thickest oils in a given crude oil which
are separated out when oil diffuses
through shale or whether the rate of
diffusion depends on the kind of oil.
The results of these experiments
show the remarkable fact that unsat-
urated oils-eVen those as thin as or
thinner than saturated oils-are held
back in the shale. Thus when a solu-
ton of benzol (unsaturated) and
paraffin oil (saturated) is allowed to
diffuse upward through a tube of full
ler's earth (Which is a good type of
shale for experimental purposes), the
benzol tends to collect in the lower
sections that the paraffin oil in the
upper sections of the tube It has also
been found that if water is added to
shale containing a mixed solution of
saturated and unsaturated oils and sui
phur compounds, the water drives out
the saturated portion more easily than
the unsaturated. The sulphur COM
pounds also cling to the clay. The pos
sibility is thus established that the
eimpler parafin-base oils may have

base oils. The significance of these
experiments as regards oil deposits is
discussed at length in the report,
