The paid attendance figures for the sec
ond game between the Giants and Athletics
at Philadelphia yesterday were 26.2s6' Just
COS persons short of the number year

White Elephants for the worlds title. The
gross receipts were much bigger however
the totals reading: Last year, S57.i24 90;
this year. Si2,ss2 -. a difference OF some
thing more than 5000.
The total receipts for the two games are
now sl20,32l 50, breaking all records as
against sl73sSO for the five games year
ago. which was the second biggest total IN
the history Of the worlds series, the record
being asS.sO2 80 established in the seven
games played by Pittsburg and Detroit in
1909
All records viii he smashed this year as
five games are now assured, and the gross
receipts should be S-75,OOD at least which
allows only 10000 for the two games In
New York and $4,000 in Philadelphia

Weather Uncertain Quantity for
Third Baseball Battle.

Mack May Use Coombs.

With the weather outlook none too prom

mystic hour this afternoon when the Giants

Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe was
probably as free from any faint OF
superstition as any woman who has
gained even great or triaing reputa-
ton as a writer was able to confess
herself to be. She was fond OF some
of the magic toys. especially one
which was very popular some forty
years ago called planchette. This.
the superstitious asserted, was oper'
ated through supernatural control OF
the fingers or palm OF any one who
demonstrated its magic powers. Mrs.
Stowe was confident. however. that
the motion of pianchette was wholly
due to certain unconscious physical or
muscular movements Of the player
whose hand was upon the little toy.

Mrs. Stowe had which she was never

Good Summer Feed.

Green crops are good summer feed,
but after all, the most practical way
for a large dairy farm Is to have two
silos. using one for winter and the
other for summer whenever needed.
In this way the most milk can be pro-
duced at less cost. Some farmers
think It would be best to use the same
silo for summer, by filling 1t in spring
with some such crop as rye.
