Christy Mathewson, who received
his worlds series baptism away back
in 1905, will again be the apex of the
Giant defense in the coming post
season tussle, and fans may witness
the unusual sight of the baseball clas-
sic being fought to a conclusion with
southpaws in the background.
In previous inter-Ieague scraps the
boys who toss with the left hand have
been prominently in the picture. This
is especially true of the, clashes in
which the Giants and Athletics have
figured.
Only going as far back as 1910,
when the Athletics met the Cubs, we
find Eddie Plank, the veteran south
paw, splitting with Chief Bender and
Jack Coembs the strenuous work Of
the championship series.
Progressing to 1911, two left
handed stars shone, Plank again,
and Rube Marquard, the lengthy
Giant. Their work featured the bat
ties. Marquard pitched remarkable
ball against the Mackmen in two
games, the bat of Frank Baker beat
ing him in one though only four hits
were acquired by the American Leag-
uers. Plank was a puzzle to the
Giants. go.

tation In the new Friends church.
The music was in charge OF the Cen.

which the contralto solo part was tax.
en- by Miss Martha Henry. The OPP.
ening prayer was offered by Rev. r.
E. Deadman of the Christian church
and Rev. M. A. Kelsey read the Scrip.
ture lesson. The discourse of the
evening was delivered by DIR. J. NJ
McClelland of the Central NJ. E
church, who spoke from Philippians
1910. The sermon was a strong and
pointed presentation of the truth and
indicated st. Paul's complete conse,
Grafton and devotion to the cause OF
Christ. The main audience room
was filed and the north gallery was
also used. At some points chairs
were used on the main floor, so that a
large audience was present and all
gave the closest attention to the ser
mon. The Sunday school room and
south gallery were closed as they
were not quite completed, and were
still in disorder. '" "

THE ALBA EXCURSION
It Finally Reached that City Over
the Burlington Route.

Despite the miserable train service
furnished the local delegation to and
from Abba yesterday, Oskaloosa peo-
pie in attendance at the big annual
tricity labor day celebration in the
Monroe county capital were unani.
nous in pronouncing the affair the
biggest and most successful event of
the sort ever held in southern Iowa.
Abba was crowded from early morn
ing until late at night with a mon
strous throng of visitors from all over
this section of the state and there was
no lack of entertainment for every
body. Music by the Ottumwa, Oska-
loosa and Abba bands. speeches by
prominent men, base ball games, a
balloon ascension, and fireworks were
among the features offered as part of
the days program.
The special excursion from Oska-
loosa over the Burlington route, which
was scheduled to leave here at $50
IA. m, finally pulled out at II: so, car.
dying a crowd of perhaps eight hun
dred people, and after a most bewil-
dering series of delays, re-delays, and
then more delays, arrived in Abba
shortly after p. M. Returning, the
special left Abba at one o'clock and
landed the crowd back in Oskaloosa
at $3.50 this morning
The parade was held until after the
noon hour yesterday waiting for the
arrival of the 0skaloOsa delegation,
but could be delayed no longer and
was given about 1890. Floats,
marching delegations from the labor
unions, and the Abba and Fifty-fourth
Regimental bands comprised a splen,
did pageant Free vaudeville and
band concerts entertained the crowds
until afternoon, when a variety of en-
tertainments were given. Speeches
were made in the court house yard by
Hon. H. S. Berry. Mayor of Abba;
Hon. James Baxter, John Gay, secre-
tary-treasurer of the United Mine
Workers of America, District 10; W.
II. Rodgers, president United Mine

a large score. At six o'clock large
balloon was sent up from the court
house yard carrying a passenger and
a parachute leap was made by the

IOWA CROP SERVICE
Review of the Past Week by Di-
rector of Weather Bureau.

For the week ending Rugust 81,
1918.
Des Moines, Iowa.
Although the nights were cool the
days were hot, making the average
daily temperature about five degrees
above the normal The sunshine was
excessive; there being scarcely any
cloudiness until Saturday afternoon,
and there was practically no rainfall
in the state until Sunday morning,
and then only few light showers in
the northeastern counties. Corn is
doing as well as could be expected
under present conditions. In the
southern part of the state, where the
drought has been most severe, much
of the early planted corn is dry
enough to cut, and the binders are at
work in some fields. Under the eff
fects of the rains of two weeks ago
late corn is filling out fairly well, and
in the northern counties where the
rainfall has been the most plentiful
the crop will be fully up to il not
above the average of past years, but
elsewhere the present dry. hot wealth
er is forcing 1t toward maturity too
rapidly for the best results. The dry
weather is also damaging apples, pas
lures and late potatoes, and delaying
blowing. In southern districts wells
are again failing and pastures are
brown. In some sections stock is
being given almost full winter rations.
