A loss and a win.

One of those peculiar turns of base
ball which gives a pitcher a win or a
loss came UP in one Of the New
York Cincinnati games. Rube Benton
pitched two balls and lost a game. The
Reds were one run ahead and Benton
came to the rescue in the ninth with
man on second and third. On the sec
ond ball pitched, Crandall scored both
runners. Marquard worked three in
nings and was credited with the win for
New York.

A wall from Chicago.

They are saying out Chicago way that
Callahan's lay-off was a mean trick
and that had he not been out of the
game for such a long period the Six
might have won more games from Bos-
ton. The last Fart of it is perhaps true
and Washington fans wish that Cal had
been In. for he won a game, the only
game Boston lost. At that a long lay
of was coming to Callahan, for he has
been about as onery as any manager
who has visited us this year.

Braves new leader.

Now that James Gaffney Is elected
president Of the Boston Nationals the
new policies Of the club are expected
and results should be forthcoming in
the near future. The Braves have been
down and out all year, showing nothing
in the playing line, even when they
were here in the spring games. A
thorough clean out is expected now that
Carney has the team in charge and
Johnny King is looked to continue in
his present managerial position.

Chinese Dislike Beer

A few years ago corporation organized in

brewery was erected with capacity of 100000 bar
rels of beer annually.
But from the start the concern lost money It is
now bankrupt and is trying to sell its plant at any
price. Not only have efforts to further popuarze beer
among the Chinese been unsuccessful but the latest
reports show that there has been decrease of almost
50 per in the consumption of beer in China since
1905.
This is another bit of evidence to show that China
