New York Ice Habit.

New York World: Concerning
the menace of a probable short sup
ply of ice for the coming summer,
the president of the Knickerbocker
Tee Company has suggested that the
best time for economizing on ice is
now. He is quoted as saying:
only notice how in any hotel
yonT drinking water comes to your
table literally stacked with chunks of
ice. Order a dish of clans and it
will come to you covered with a
great heap of chopped or broken ice.
Zee is wasted in thousand ways
these cool days, when it is not need
ed, and in the hot months of summer
the city pays the piper"
The wasteful use of ice lamented
by the man OF business may be
further lamented as a shameful use
of it by epicure. The fashion of
0Ver-icing nearly all kinds of drinks
and many kinds OF foods kills the
delicate flavors and savors that are
dear to sensitive palates. No man
can enjoy an oyster or clam when
the chill of ice numbs his sense OF
taste. Nor can he rightly enjoy
white wine or even beer as it is or.
dinarily served, COLI as the AntartiC
BLASTS.
We have developed among us g
race of ice fiends. They waste it a
home and clamor for it in Partisan
cafes, which is worse than asking fol
a homemade sandwich at banquet
Who shall cure New York of the ic'
habit will be a benefactor, but HI
will probably be crucified first.

Americans Too IdeaIistic,

Tacoma Ledger: Auglielmo Fer
reros opinion that Americans are too
idealistic and lacking in hard COM
mon sense is a new impeachment.
So much has been said about Ameri-
cans being materialistic and CONNER
cial, business men rather than poets
and idealists, that their own general
ly accepted idea of themselves is that
they are essentially a practical peo-
pie. Now comes the great Italian
historian, and says that, instead of a
race of worshipers of the almighty
dollar, here is a people given to
much dreaming and pursuit of the
chimerical
He comments upon the vast sums
which American millionaires give for
philanthropic purposes, the outcomes
of many of which, like the peace and
medical research foundations, are
too far in the future for any man to
see. He pauses wonderingly upon
what seems to him blind faith in
the solidness of democratic institu-
tions and the willingness to accept
new citizens by the thousands from
other countries in the expectation
that they will fit in at once into the
complexities of American life. In
contrast, he points out that South
American countries are conservative
about admittance. of foreigners, and
have practical reasons for being so.
The United States. On the other hand,
goes back to its ideals to justify the
opening of it's gates to the world.
But what seems the most remark
able to him is probably to be ex-
planned as much by a sort of nation
al optimism as by idealism. This is
the bold assailing of evils that the
European nations have come to re-
gard as necessarily a part of human
life-problems of vice determination,

the law, of eliminating sharp prac-
tices from business, of reconciling
capital and labor, and of ending war
between the nations.
1t may be true that these aims are
not all practical at the moment, and
that the American, in his hurry, is
apt to temporarily adopt some inno-
vation that is more idealistic than
common sense, but this optimism is
something more than the flush oi
dreams. 1t is the confidence of a
courageous people who have beer
meeting and overcoming obstacles
since the beginning of their history
and whose history, so far, shows they
have never gone very far from the
course of logical reasoning.

Cleveland, O.. Sept. s-The White
Sox took good look at the American
league standing yesterday, discovered
they were on the verge Of dropping in
to the second division, then went out
and trounced the Maps in both ends of
a double header. The scores were 3
to 1 and 9 to 8. Darkness stopped the
slaughter after eight innings.
Instead of taking 1t for granted they
could not beat Cleveland, any way, the
Galatians played the game they are
cpable OF playing all the time When
they had copied the first half in a
strenuous pitchers battle between Jim
Scott and Bill Stein, the Sox got their
confidence back and knocked the stuff
fing out OF three Nap hurlers in the
second half. Joe Benz pitched almost
shutout baseball in that scrap.

LYNCH REVERSES
UMP'S DECISION

New York, Sept. 3-Reversing the
decision of Umpire Brennan. President
Thomas J. Lynch of the National
league announced yesterday that the
game of Saturday, August 30, between
the New York and Philadelphia clubs
will count as a victory for the Phila-
delphia team.
Umpire Brennan awarded the con-
test to the Giants by to score
when the Philadelphia management
was unable to clear a section of the
bleachers back of center field, claim
ing that the moving spectators were a
handicap to the New York batters.
The decision nearly precipitated a
riot and the members of the New York
club were afforded police protection on
their way to the railroad station.
President Lynch In his decision
states that Umpire Brennan exceeded
his authority in declaring the game
forfeited to the New York club and
formally awards 1t to the Philadelphia
team by a score OF to 6, which was
the sccre by which the Phillies led in
the ninth inning when the game was
stopped by the umpire.

DUCK SHOOTING
SEASON OPENS

Monday, Sept. l, the open season be-
gan for wild ducks, and the federal
law which is to become effective on
Oct 1 will place a limit of Dec. 10
upon the shooting in the northern
zone. The law will not permit shoot
ing of migratory birds during the
spring of the year, but should have the
effect of greatly improving the shoot
ing in the fall, the open season In
the south will be shortened and the
United States, acting in conjunction
with Canada and the latter country
has passed a law prohibiting the gath
ering of duck eggs, which was largely
INDUCED in there. 1t will probably be
some time, however. before there will
be many ducks flying.

Philadelphia, Pa, Sept. 3.-Pitcher
Jack" Coombs. the Athletics iron
man. is officially out of the world &
series. Immediately after the game
yesterday the giant boxman had to
take to his bed and his condition is
such that DIR. Mcfarland has found he
is suffering from a bad intestinal con-
dition due to wrenched side received
in batting practice on Monday.
Coombs has not shown the right
strength since he rejoined the team
and those who know what the real
trouble is fear the great twirler will
probably never be able to do much
pitching again, as the infection in his
system is such that he is permanently
affected.
