OF all the gods of ancient Greece
there was never one SO tickle and
whimsical as the modern deity which
rules over baseball. Take for instance
the recent Rochester series at the
Flower City and compare it to the
local series between the Tigers and
the Hustlers. At Rochester Joe Nc
Ginnity went INTO the box three times
In two days and thumped tho. Cham
rions thrice, while the home fans
rsved and rooted hard for victory.
When the Ganzelites made a run off
the Iron Man a neutral spectator
who was not acquainted with the
state of affairs might be LEI to ne
lieve that the millennium had ar
rived.
The home fans went away from the
ball park depressed and downcast. de
ciaring that the Tigers we're a better
team than the champions. Cast a
glance at that picture, then look at
the recent series here between the
champs and the Jungleites. McGin-
nity was driven to shelter twice, not
so much by the Hustlers' sticks as
ty their change of luck. and the Ben
gals, who had conquered the triple
champs thrice in five games at Ro-
chester, we're humbled .hree times in
Jour games on their own lot.
'Phe Toronto series, which began
here yesterday, is another ~iIlstration
Of the same tickle fate. Wyatt Lee

game of The last Newark series at

q week TO trim the Tigers. Les had
worked only two days before. The
Tigers fell on Maxwell, smote MIN hip
and thigh, fguratively speaking. and
c~annonaded his delivery for twenty
hits in eight rounds. Lee caused the
Maple Leafs to look like celia clam
pions in a class III league. Behold

The piece de resistance at the New
ark Velodrome tonight will be the
third and last match race of the series
between Frank Kramer and Emil
Friol. Never in the history of cycle
racing in Newark has there been
as much interest shown in a bike race
as these matches have attracted. In
round numbers $4,000 cycling en-
thusiasts have witnessed the two
matches that have been rum, and
tendance tonight will reach five fig
ures. This is a record for attendance
at consecutive meets.
Even though Kramer has won the
two matches that have been u in
straight heats there is as much inter-
est In the last race as there was in
the first. Never before has the Amer
lean champion had to extend himself
as HI has m these battles with Friol.
1t has been a meeting of the two mas
tiers of cycle racing and the fans of
Newark, who are we'll educated in
the game of cycle racing. have not
overlooked a single feature. Brain as
well as Drawn has figured In each
of the races, and the dual of wits is
just as interesting as the actual ex-
h:bition of speed.
That little Friol is a gamester and
a good loser there is no doubt. He
is fighting an uphill battle, but he
Is still filed with a determination to
win and he really believes that he
will be the victor in the race to-
night. This is Friofs last chance
and he has formed a new plan OF
attack. JUS what it is he will not
state, for to be of any value this pew
strategy must come as a surprise.
Friol can afford to take al! sorts
of chances now. He has failed twi'e
by riding a certain way and he preb-
ably realizes the futility of follow ing
the same course again. If there is
anything new in the bike game thai

CLEVELAND, O., Aug. 14.-Johnny
Dundee, of New York, and Matt
Brock, of Cleveland, featherweights,
fought q very fast twelve-round draw
at Luna Park here last night. Dun

Dundee's superior skill at sparring
appeared to give him a decided adj
vantage. In the seventh round Dun
dee landed on Brooks nose, starting
the blood flowing. After that round
Brock dropped his defensive tactics,
forced the fighting to close quarters,
and by his showing in the last two
rounds earned the draw decision.

N. Y. REPUBLICANS FOR WILSON.
Taft and Teddy Repudiated by Pro-
grcsSives OF Empire State.

Columbus, Ohio, Sept. 20.-Co-in-
cident with the opening Of the DEM
ocratic campaign In Ohio to-day,
Governor Woodrow Wilson gave his
hearty approval to-day to the for
nation in New York Of the Wilson
National Progressive League. The
Governor and Rudolph Spreckles,
now III New York, iii charge Of the
movement, exchanged the following
kilograms, made public to-day by the
nominee:
New York, Sept. 19.-Governor
Woodrow Wilson, Columbus, Ohio:
Easter headquarters Of the Wilson
National Progressive Republican
League were to-day opened in the
metropolitan building, New York.
Our league was founded by progress
sive Republicans who hope to save
the progressive movement that was
started some years ago in the Re-
publican party, but which Is now be-
Ing betrayed by the organization of
Col. Roosevelt's .third-term party.
Under these conditions you alone de-
serve the support OF the true pro-
gressives, who place principles above
partisanship. Our membership is
wholly Republican, but we feel justi-
fed in voting and working for your
election since the candidate Of the
Republican party does not represent
the progressive majority in that
party, and Roosevelt's candidacy Is
hopeless and only serves to divide
our progressive forces.
Rudolph Speeches."
Reply by WILSON,.
To which Governor Wilson replied:
Your telegram telling me Of the
formation Of the Wilson National
Progressive Republican League gave
ME the deepest qualification and en-
couragement. The action you and
your associates are taking seems to
me truly patriotic. The ~progressives
of the nation ought not to be divid-
ed. No mere attachment to a party
name should now separate men whose
purposes and convictions are united
for a common object. The formation
Of the league seems to me one Of the
most reassuring indications Of the
temper Of thoughtful men. May
not convey to you my congratula-
tons on your part In the move
ment? Woodrow Wilson,"

iridium u Rare Metal.

The smooth writing qualities pos
sessed by gold fountain pens may be
attributed to the tiny bit of white
Observation-Disclosures to the tip
or the pen. Iridium Is an exceeding
~ rare metal, according to the Uni
ted States Geological Survey, not
more than 5000 ounces being pro-
dpced each year, Of which perhaps
about 500 ounces are recovered in
the United States, mostly from i'm
ported platinum sand and from cop
per ores and bullion. The price de-
manded for iridium has been in
creasing rapidly, and in 1911 it
ranged from $50 to $6l an ounce
for pure metal.
Owing to its unique qualities, irid-
ium finds a fairly extensive use.
Most Of the metal produced Is prob
ably used for hardening platinum.
1t Is further used for various scien-
tine and technical purposes, such as
standard weights, pivots, contact
points, and as previously stated, for
gold pen points. Iridium black, an
oxide Of the metal, Is highly valued
as a pigment for decorating china
ware.
According to the Bureau of Sta
tistics, 1905 troy ounces of Grid
ium and iridium In native combina-
tion with platinum metals" valued
at $210,616, were imported into tho
United States in 1911,

Every Northern farmer, when he

South. Such a thing as the tall, way
ing Northern meadow, with the dark
clover in the bottom Is almost I'M

Favored locations. But last year | n
South Carolina, n hundred farmers
" grass, In cooperation with
she department Of agriculture, with
good success. The seed sown was,
in each case, half a bushel of orchard
grass, half a bushel Of tall meadow
Oat grass, half a bushel of Italian
rye grass and ten pounds of red clio
Yer per acre. This enormously heavy
seeding was thought necessary In or
der to get a stand from the start. A
ton Of lime and 100 pounds OF COM
mercial fertilizer were applied to
each acre. The crop this year will
vary from two and a half to four
tons to the acre. The movement
promises to spread until these com
munities will produce hay not only
for farm horses, but for stock rails
