the pennant for New York thousands
OF frantic fans" leaped upon the field
to congratulate the Giants. O'Day
saw Merkle run to the clubhouse and.
throwing down his protector, he ran
into the diamond. saw Evers hold the
ball on second base and. above the
tumult, called Merkle out Five thou
sand men were swarming madly
around O'Day and the Chicago play

cause of the excitement Men struck
at ODay, struck Chance and struck
Pfester; but the umpire shouldered
his way along, brushed angry men
aside to get his protector and walked
through the crowd to his dressing
room.
Suppose O'Day had been lacking in
scruples, His easiest course by far
was to call Merkle safe.
The most responsible player on the
team. OF course. is the pitcher. He
comes pretty nearly knowing the
weak spots in the batters who face
him. He knows that certain barters
like to connect with slow ball.

CHEMICALS IN WOOD.
Why Timber Cut In Winter 10 Better
Than That Cut In Summer.

Timber cut in spring and in summer
is not so durable as that cut in winter.
The durability depends not only upon
the greater or less density. but also
upon the presence of certain chemical
constituents in the wood.
Thus large proportion of resinous
matter increases the durability, while
the presence of easily soluble carbohy-
drates diminishes it considerably.
During the growing season the wood
of trees contains sulphuric acid and
potassium. both of which are solvents
Of carbohydrates. starch. resins and
gums. They are known to soften also
the ligneous tissue to a considera bic
degree.
During the summer months the wood
Of living trees contains eight times as
much sulphuric acid and FIVE times as
much potassium as it does during the
winter months. The presence Of these
two chemical substances during the
growing season constitutes the chief
factor in dissolving the natural preserv'
atives within the wood and in prepar.
