WET GROUNDS MAY DELAY SECOND CAME.
Injury to Baker Is Not As Serious As Was
 Thought

Philadelphia, October 15. --- Wet grounds may result in the postpone ment of the second game in the series for the baseball championship of the world scheduled to be played in this city tomorrow. Tonight the diamond and outfield at Shibe park, where the next contest between the New York Nationals and the local American league team will take place, is wet and sog- gy. A bright clear sky tomorrow would place the field in first class condition.
 Rain fell here today from SPAS a. m. until 2:15 D. m. During that time, ac- cording to the official report of the local weather bureau, there was pre- cip..atioa of 3s-1oO of an inch. Con- dit.ons tonight are greatly improved.
 The Injury to Third Baseman Baker, wnich was caused by snodgrass' spikes, Is not serious. He will be in the game tomorrow. McInnes, however, is not expected to play and Captain Davis will again cover the initial sack.
 It was announced tonight that Coombs will be Manager Macks' se- lection for the second game of the se- rics. Members of the Athletic team reached the city late tonight. It was announced that Manager McGraw and his players will leave New York early tomorrow morning, reaching the Ma jestic hotel, where they will be quar- tered, about Il o'clock.
 Baseball writers from all sections of the country received their credentials tonight. Extensive preparations have been made for the comfort of the visit ing newspaper men. A private room, with typewriters installed, has been fitted up at the grounds with accommo- dations for all writers who desire to do their work before leaving the grounds.
 New I orlk, October 15.-The night be- fore the second battle between the Giants and Athletics for the world 3 championship found supporters of the local team happy in the knowledge that one game is safely slowed away, but impressed with the belief that 1t was yet either club flag and that the series was to be no less closely contested than at first anticipated. The strong fight of the Athletics had evidently made Q deep impression on those who saw yesterdays game and many pre- dictions that the series would run the rfull seven games were made. Unless weather conditions should prove un propitious thousands of New York en- thusists will take early trains to Phil adelphia tomorrow.

Sand Dunes In Gascony.

One Of the most interesting and re-
markable of the many regions for the
observation OF sand dunes lies between
Bordeaux and Bayonne, In Gascony.
The sea here throws every year upon
the beach. along n line Of 100 miles In
length, some 100000 cubic yards OF
sand. The prevailing westerly winds
continue picking up the surface par
ticles from the westward slope, whirl
them over TO the inward slope, where
they are again deposited. and the entire
ridge by this means alone moves grad
ually inward. In the course OF years
there has thus been formed a complex
system OF dunes, all approximately
parallel with the coast and with one
another and OF all attitudes up to 25O
feet These are marching steadily in
ward at rate of from three TO six
feet year. whole villages having
sometimes been torn down to prevent
burial and rebuilt at distance.

Blonds GETTING Scarcer.

Scientists are taking gloomy view
Of the future Of the blond. Not only
are fair people becoming fewer, but II
this is not a paradox they are also be-
coming darker. The future promises
to bring us nothing more interesting
than the "whitey browns" of humanity.
To preserve our blonds is scientifically
possible, but their continuance would
make an end to the progress OF civiliza-
ton. All or nearly all the conditions
OF modern life tend to encourage bru-
nettes. Before many decades have
passed there will probably only be
rare examples Of women who are di-
vinely fair.-London Lady's Pictorial.
