Californians are having new
meat-eating experience. The pros.
pcct of tariff.free meat has induced q
shipment from Australia, with the
result that, after the tariK was paid,
the meat was sold In Los Angeles at
from three to fifteen cents pound
cheaper than the Chicago meats. It
was also claimed that the quality was
better. This is certainly hopeful Of
o substantial gain for the consumer
when the tariff is removed, for there
II large cattle industry, not only In
Australia, but also In South America.
Argentina, especially. should be able
to send large consignments Of meat
to New York and other Atlantic ports,
and the demands of the trade should
help in the establishment and main.
tenance Of steamship lines. Refriger.
ator ships for meat will be able to
carry other merchandise. and they
will need to be fast enough to meet all
the demands of a growing trade.
When there are articles of merchan.
disc to be carried. there will be ships
to carry them, and 1t may be found
that, with the reduction of the tariff
we have not only struck hard blow
at the trust which II has been impos-
sible to punish, but that we have
done much to loose the bonds that
have strangled an independent, self
supporting shipping industry. Such
a result would be a happy escape
from compliance with the perennial
demand for ship subsidy.

Death of Millionaire Merchant
and Art ConnoiSseur Is
Mourned by Associates

News Of the death of Benjamin Alt
man, millionaire dry goods merchant
of New York city and a celebrated
art connoisseur, at his home in the
eastern metropolis has aroused deep
regret on the part of the merchants
of this city. Altman was 73 years of
age.
Out of respect for the memory Of
the late millionaire Raphael WE'LL
has hoisted the flags over The White
House here to half mast.
1t is expected that the other lead
ing merchants of the city will follow
suit.
Altman was a remarkable charac-
ter. Coming to this country as a
poor immigrant boy he started In the
dry goods trade in very modest
way. BY gradual steps he built up
the business of B. Altman & Co. to
one of the greatest in the country.
He was of a retiring nature and 1t
Is said that few even in his own
store. knew him by sight. With the
requirement of wealth he became an
art connoisseur of considerable note.
His collection of private art treas
ures was one OF the most important
and valuable in the United States.
In 1912 he purchased two portraits
by velasquez, which had previously
hung in the villa Hermosa palace.
The purchase price is said to have
been more than $1,000,000. The paint
ings, which. were of King Philip w
and his minister, the duke of Olivares,
bore the date 1924.
In speaking Of the late merchant,
Raphael WE'LL said this morning: He

firing line, but when Baker ham,
mered out home run in the fifth,
scoring Collins ahead of him. Muggsy
concluded that it was not Rubes aft
ernoon
1t is right here that many contend
that McGraw made a serious mis-
take in calling upon Otis Crandall,
one of his second string pitchers. to
go to the front. Crandall has done
but little pitching this year for New
York and his record is a very or
dinary one. He managed to get by
for two innings. but in the eighth the
Athletics got busy again, and after
getting three bingles Off him he was
derricked in favor of Tesreau, who
finished the game in mastery style.
Had Tesreau been sent in after
Marquard was batted hard in the
fourth frame, the Giants might have

letics had acquired a four run lead.
but they were not equal to the task
of overcoming it.
During his two innings on the hill
Tesreau's great speed seemed to daz-
zle the Athletics. Had he been stuck
in after Marquard was hit hard in
the fourth, many believed that the
Mackmen would not have scored
thereafter. 1t was a dark afternoon
and Tesreau's great speed was very
effective and what he might have ac-
comp1ished had he been sent into the
fray from the outset gives the New
York admirers a headache to think of.
The contest proved that Mack had

have the class and they display their

ATH[E TICS
They Figure to Have Edge on
Series With First Game
Slowed Away
By JOE MURPHY

The Athletics are off to a flying
start in the race for the baseball
championship and the local fans are
wondering whether this remarkable
bunch of tossers from Quakertown
will ever be headed. An uphill grind
confronts McGraw's men, which will
require plenty of gameness to over
come.
The situation that confronts the
Giants is not an inviting one The
same team which beat them decisively
| two years ago comes out again and
pulls off a lot of it's old tricks on the
| Giants-pa particularly the home run
clouting stunt of j. franklin Baker.
Many thought these two circuit
smashes of j. Franklin which he Sc
cured off Marquard and Mathewson
two years ago We're lucky ones, but
when this same Baker repeated the
stunt yesterday In the opening game,
| now everybody is willing to agree
that it is merely a habit with j.
| Franklin.
The much talked Of pitching staff
that was expected to subdue the hard
hitting Philadelphians failed to live
up to predictions. Anyway, that part
of the staff that McGraw used yester-
day to check the Philadelphians fell
down dismally.
Rube Marquard. one of New York S
best bets. went to the front at the
outset, but from the opening inning it
was apparent that the Rube had moth
| ing that the Athletics did not under
stand. A couple of smashes in the ini-
tial round seemed to warm the Phila-
delphians up to their work, though
| they did not make either of these hits
count. However, they lost but little
time in getting busy, as they showed
conclusively In the fourth frame that
Mr.. Marquard was as open as the good
book.
ATHLETICS NEVER HEADED
Four hits gave the Athletics three
runs and they were never headed
during the succeeding innings Even
in the face of heavy hitting on the
part of the Athletics, McGraw al

Again Eddie Collins displayed that
games when something great is re-
quired of him. Three hits in as many
times to the plate was Eddie's batting
record. One of his smashes went for
three bases, and he scored three of
the six runs made by the Athletics.
He stole the only base nicked off
Chief Meyers, and he received one of
the two passes issued by the Giant
pitchers, as well as handling IL
chances successfully. 1t is apparent
that he belongs TO the championship
class.
Mack also trotted out another
youngster who made his worlds Sc
ries debut. Schang, the receiver,
caught in brilliant form. Not a base
was stolen off him and he secured a
three base hit at the right time.
The fans agree that McGraw has
great pitching staff, but the followers
of the sport are inclined to think that
all pitchers look alike to Mack's
crew of swatters Many predict that
Mathewson. Demaree and Tesreau
will go the same way as Marquard
and the Giants.
There is no complaint to make
about the showing of the Giants yes

is regarded as the best pitcher on the
Philadelphia club. They secured as
many drives as the Mackmen, but the
Giants clouts were not as vicious or
timely as those made by the Athletics.

looked as though 1t was raining

The Giants are good enough in
