Passenger Tells of Horrors

New 1Ork, Apf1i le.-A passenger on the carpathia made the following state ment:
 T was awakened at about 2:9O at night by commotion on the decks, which seemed unusual but there was no ex- citement. As the boat was moving. l paid little attention to it, and went to sleep again About o'clock I again awakened. noticed that the boat had stopped went to the deck. The Carpatha had changed her course. Lifeboats were sigllt- ed and began to arrive. and soon, one by one, thew drey up to our side There were sixteen in all. and the transferring of the passengers was most pitiable The adults were assisted in climbing the rope ladders by ropes adjusted to their waists. The little children and babies were hoist ed to the deck in bags Some of the boats were crowded, a few were not half full This I could not understand Some peo. pie were in full evening dress, others were in their night clothes and were wrapped in blankets. These, with inIni- grants in all sorts of shapes. were hur- ried into the saloon, indiscriminately. for a hot breakfast. They had been in the open boats four or five hours in the most biting air ever experienced. There were husbands without wives. wives with out husbands. parents without children and children without parents. But there was no demonstration. No sobs-scarcey word spoken. They seemed 10 be stunned.
 Immediately after breakfast. divine service was held in the saloon. ono wonl- an died in the lifeboat, three others died soon after reaching deck. Their bodies were buried in the sea at o'clock that afternoon None of the rescued had any clothing except what they had on, and q relief committee was formed and our passengers contributed enough for their immediate needs.

Treatment.
Tobacco decotions are very effective
against these insects. The only diff
Guilty is in reaching them with the
spray, as they are under the stamens
and protected by them. But they are
active creatures and when the bios
som is disturbed they at once come
out and attempt to get away. 1t is
this habit which enables the grower
to reach a large proportion of them
with the spray. In spraying, there
fores care must be taken to thoroughly
cover the blossoms or buds so that
the thrips cannot get out without
being wetted by the solution By
pausing and letting the spray play for
second or two on each cluster or
hand" one not only ensures the
thoroughness Of the spraying, but also
gives the insects time to crawl out
where the spray can hit them. For
the same reason one should use as
much pressure as is possible, for the
double purpose Of driving the LIQUID
into the blossoms and frightening out
the insects.
The different tobacco decoctions, of
which there are many on the market,
vary much in the amount of nicotine
present, and consequently in the pro-
portions In which they should be d.
luted. Black Leaf 40" should be
used In about the proportion of one
part to from 1000 to 1900 of water.
The weaker solutions, such as Black
Leaf two and one-third per cent nico-
tine) should be used at about one part
to 100 Of water. 1t is of advantage 70

The young, upon Matching, at once

here. If there are only few of the

TOMORROW'S GAME
Cornell Company Meets Pepco Contest That Is Expect
ed to Bring Out Largest Attendance of Any Post

Cornell Company VS.. Pepco, tomorrow
at the Capital City park at 4:40 O'Clock.
Members of the amateur commission
and Managers Gray and Cornell feel
that this announcement sholld bring
out the largest crowd of the post-sea-
son series in view of the fact that the
two teams today stand tied for the
honor in Section A games.
Cornell defeated the Postoffce team
yesterday, and has now won four
games and lost two Pepco has the
same standing, although 1t has been
forced to remain idle while Cornell
played off two games.

with Postoftice yesterday. has put Cor

Power Company again, and in Section
& a defeat of the Park team has placed
three teams with the same number of
victories and a like number of defeats.
In to morrow's Cornell Pepco game
Manager Cornell is likely to pitch
Forest Thompson, his star hurler, while
Noyes will catch. Manager Gray has
selected Barton to pitch, while Munich
will do the receiving. The Pepco bat
terry is to receive a try-out with the
Nationals, and Manager Griffith is to
sign the pair after the post-season series
Is concluded.
There are no scheduled games among
the amateurs for the afternoon, all
teams resting over to play off the ties.
G. p. o. and Southern play tomorrow
at the Railroad Y. NJ. c. A. grounds.
Reversal of form in the Section c games
keeps the fans guessing as to which of
the three teams is going to win out.
Southern looks like a good bet in view
OF yesterdays win, although G.. p. o.
may be counted upon to reverse these
expectations.
AS has been contended, Cornell's su-
perior hitting makes other teams look
bad. The Tigers managed to get into
their old-time form yesterday, getting
ten safeties. In view of the fact that
the team went to the bat exactly thirty
times during the game the average was
1888 for the afternoon, which brings the
team average for the series UP to .234
In run getting the Tigers have totaled
thirty-one during the six games in the

MILWAUKEE, BOASTS
YOUNGEST PLAYER
IN ACTIVE SERVICE
Harry Leibold, Nineteen,
Now Playing His Sec
ond Season.

The Milwaukee club of the American
Association, boasts of the youngest ball
tosser in active service in any major
or Class AA league. This parsonage
is Harry Oittle Nemo) Leibold, who is
now seeing his second campaign in this
league. Leibold is now nineteen years
of age.
Leibold is one of Jimmy Barrett s
pickups, the old Tiger outfielder taking
the youngster off the Detroit sandlots
a year ago and placed him in the out
field while he was manager of the Mil
waukee team.
When Hugh Duffy displaced Bari ett
he also thought we'll enough of the
youngster to keep him in the game. AS
a result Leibold has been leading off
for the Brewers all season long. He
man on the paths.
Since joining Milwaukee Leibold has
played second base in addition to left
and center field.
The Chicago White Sox have bSen
hot after Leiboid and Outfielder Chap
pelle and 1t is reported that Charles
Comiskey made an offer of $4,000 for
the pair. which was refused by Mrs.
Agnes HaVener, owner of the Brewers.
Offers have also been received for
Pitchers Hovlik and Nicholson.
Mrs. Havenor says that she wants TO
give Milwaukee fans a pennant- winner
next season, and does not purpose sell"
ing all of her star players and then try

1T was back in 1908. The Cleveland
Maps needed one game to win the pen

Larry went to the bat with three men
on and one man out. A hit or long
fly would have won the game and the
pennant for Cleveland. Did Larry pro-
duce either? Not on your tintype. He
struck out-fouled two spitters, then
watched a straight, fast ball split the
plate in half. l fooled the big French
man that day. He was looking for an
other damp curve; thought I wouldn't
dare use a straight ball. But that's
where 1 fooled him. ] knew he was set
for a curve and pulled the unexpected
on him-pulled the throttle wide open
