has been the splendid showing of the
Boston Braves under the guidance of
George Stallings. Stallings took q team
which in the judgment of nearly every
one familiar with conditions in the Ma
| than last He made a number Of changes
in his lineup, but brought no known
stars into the ranks, yet his team Is in
fifth place and has been a stumbling
block for all the pennant chasers this
season.
Stallings' success merely proves what
has always been contended by most base
rball men, that he is one of the most ca
pable leaders in the game. He has really
never been failure. He had the New
York team well up in the race during his
tWO-year term there and would probably
have remained a contender there had he
been retained.
The value Of a scout to a team seems
to be best judged by the scarcity of his
conquests. When one looks over majority
of the players who have been purchased
at enormous figures, one wonders that
lot of these scouts are still holding their
jobs. The grade of players who have
been purchased and are now playing
with the various teams is rather low.
None that has been shown appears to
have the ability to hold his own. The
mere outlay of money for mediocre ma
terial does not satisfy the public, and
yet there are clubs who figure that to
spend q fabulous sum for some players
will stimulate the clicking of the turn
stiles.

II the Mackmen and the Giants battle
in the coming worlds series, and tht
chances favor their doing so, there IL
going to be general division of opinion
as to the outcome. When it became ap'
parent at the outset Of the season thai
these two teams would likely clash In
the big event of base ball this fall Mack
team was generally conceded a walkoyer
The fact that the Athletics had cleaned
up both the Giants and Cubs in two sue
cessive years and that the Red Sox had
also beaten the Giants In the last world
series made the Athletics look like
cinch. But there has been a change in
the situation. Mack's pitchers apparently
are a doubtful lot, and though the team,
aside from Its twirlers, Is stronger than
it ever was, it is doubtful If it can
shoulder the handicap OF weak pitching
staff.
The fact should not be overlooked that
the games which Mathewson and Mar
guard lost to the Athletics year before
last we're by close margins. Victory was
made possible because the Mack pitchers
held the Giants In check, something they
are not apt to do this year.
Where It seemed at ono time that the
Athletics would be topheavy favor1tes,
it is almost a certainty that the two
teams will toe the scratch on even terms
In the betting. II ever q series looked
to 70 to the team which has the most
breaks it is the coming one, for all things
considered, the two rivals are fairly we'll
matched, though the Mackmen have q
little the better of the offensive strength.
but there is doubt about their pitchers.
Most Of Grimth's youngsters come from
pennant winners. Love. Smith and Hol-
land helped to bring the nag to Atlanta.
Hartford, and Hedgepath and Spencer
were members of the Petersburg team
which virtually had a walk-over in the
Virginia League race.
With the close of the season comes the
usual rumors of change In the presi-
dency Of the National League. Every
winter these political campaigns are car
ried on in the old league and the organic
against President Lynch IL now brewing
some OF the club owners are not salts
fed with the umpiring he has furnished
and they will demand his scalp. Just why
responsible for the Imaginary errors OF
his umpires il hard to understand. 1t Is
hut natural that the chief OF league
should make every enort to have q COM
petent stan. but there never have been
q lot Of umpires who gave general salts
faction. Umpiring usually breaks even
IN q season. There are as many de-
cisions made In favor Of a team as
against it, and it does not speak well
for the sportsmanshtp OF club owners who
are continually growing about the UNI
The National League is endangering its
future by these constant agitations
against its president. The public Is sure
to- lose confidence in such an organization
and the game at large Is not being BEN
eated. Some day the old league will
elect a president who will have hackbone
enough TO throw down the gauntlet and
make an expose Of the unreasonable de-
mands Of some Of the club owners 80 far
as the umpiring 10 concerned.

AEROPLANE SOMERSATLTS
An Unusual Feat by French Aviator
1,500 Feet i'm Air.

Juvisy, France, Sept. IA French
aviator named Pegoud, today "looped
-the-loop" while flying at height OF
1900 feet in his aeroplane. He after
ward descended without injury.
Pegoud recently caused a sensa-
ton by dropping safely from an aero
plane with parachute. He announc-
ed today that he intended to turn a
somersault in air with his aeroplane
and his movements were followed
closely by a large body of observers.
When he reached height of about
300 feet. he shot his machine
straight toward the earth and dart
ed downward with his motor working
at full power. After plunging about
1900 feet with frightful velocity he
changed the position of his rudder and
caused the aeroplane to turn COM
plete verticle circle. The machine
then glided down in huge colplone
and alighted gently on the ground.

Voices Of the Wood.

To some people the trees talk-if
you are to believe the people. They
dare not try to put what they get
into language, because they know
that to do so will be to silence the
trees. Living in cities they naturally
get out of touch with trees, but put
them back in the forest and, likely
as not, they will be caught in listen
ing attitude, listening and watching
attitude. That little ripple up toward
the topmost leaves that a painter
would have to paint golden or liquid
or both, if it were the impression he
was after, delivers its message to the
one who understands. That urgent
sweep of the strong gray wind going
westward communicates something
to the trees and the trees pass 1t on
to the one who can hear. Take
me back to the wood" said Jeanne

Monster Rudder for Liner.

A rudder with a doorway into the
interior is a feature of the Cunarder
Aquitania, which is shortly to be
launched. The rudder has just been
placed in position, and is so large that
a doorway has been constructed In the
lower part to admit workmen, so that
they can remove the pin which con-
meets the rudder to the ship. This pin
is four feet long, and bigger than the
heaviest projectile made for modern
artillery. When delivered at the build
ers' yard the rudder was in three
parts After they had been connected
and laid upon the ground the distance
that had to be walked to pass round
the rudder was over 100 feet.

SUBSTITUTE FOR GLASS.

AS a substitute for glass, sea
shells are used to splendid advantage
in the Philippines. The windows in
the main entrance of the Philippine
General hospital, Manila, are a fine
example. The sea-shell windows may
also be seen in the old churches. Ma
nilla alone uses in the neighborhood
of 100000 kapas shells each year
for windows. The largest sized
shells will square about three inches.
These sell for from 81 to S. a thou

that will form panes of about two
square inches sell for anywhere from
$3.50 to So a thousand, and are used
for ordinary purposes, in dwellings,
stores and the like. Fhe shells are
translucent and the light comes
through them in soft pearl-gray tone.

CLOTHES TO REDEEM WOMEN
Illinois Committee Has Theory That
Dress VIII Help to Reform
Female Prisoners.

A well-dressed woman can look
her fellow-men in the eye, not neces-
sarily in a firtatious manner, but
with the conviction that no fault can
be found with ner apparel, says Les
lies Weekly. She can 60 into busi-
ness office, a restaurant, the church
or the theater with no apologetic
shrinking from the gaze Of the null
titude, and she is therefore at her
best. Evidently this theory is re-
sronsible for the conclusion to which
the Illinois Women's Reformatory
committee has arrived, as it declares
that many penal institutions fail in
the return of women inmates be-
cause corsets and fine clothes are not
provided. "Self-respect is the first
element toward the reclaiming Of a
woman's SOUL" is the assertion Of
Mrs. Minna S. Jones, chairman of
the committee. "Dress women pris-
oners we'll and they will be re-
formed"
