II PHILADELPHIA, Oct. S.-f old
Bill Penn, the Puritanical Dad
dy of this particular section Of
the United States, were alive to-day
and saw the carryings-on hereabouts,
he would have been inexpressibly
shocked and also would have con-
cluded that every one of his 2,000,0 900
offsprings was very, very "nutty,"
For these are among the things that
would have met the focus Of Bills
orbs or trickled into his undefiled
ears to-day in this baseball-crazed
city:
He would have heard his children,
one and all, emitting terribly sound
ing "cuss words" because the wealth
er man doled out drizzling rain and
heavy fog that threatened to force
the postponement of the second
Worlds Series combat between the
Giants and the Athletics, scheduled
for this city this afternoon.
Also he would have lamped a large
assortment Of gambling persons
rushing in and out Of the hotel lob
bies, the beer saloons and other pub
lie places, waving huge stacks If bills
and offering to bet Thorn at odds of 10
to that the Athletics would win the
Worlds Series or at 10 to that they
would win the next game played.
He would have seen a number of
his children skulking around acCost-
ing strangers, either on the street or
in the hotel Hobbies. and quietly Of
fering to sell them 50 reserved seat
for IS, or a SO reserved seat for 49,
a MOTHER sight that would have
~ astounded Bill was that of at least
20, 900 of his progeny battling with
each other, in a friendly way, Of
10000 unreserved tickets that were
placed on sale at 10 o'clock this
morning.
Many of those IN line had waited
there all night, standing in the driz-
zling rain, risking pneumonia, in their
ca gerness to see the baseball classic.
Still another thing that would have
startled Bill and caused him to Won
der just what particular breed Of de-
sCendants followed him was the aC-
ton of hordes of his other children
rushing up to each other In public
places, almost hugging each other in
their hysterical JOY, and shouting
something about Some clubber, that
Baker, hey? Some clubber, bIieve
me Plankll NOW 'em down like a
gatling gun-nothing to It now
Cinch-fOur straight for our boys"
and much other seeming jargon.
D UT If it hadn't been for Bills re-
II ligious upbringing that barred him
from absorbing a bit OF knowledge
concerning the national game he
would not have been Mortified at what
happened. For Philadelphia to-day
seized its first chance TO rid itself Of
its baseball enthusiasm, and did 1t in
a remarkably effective manner.
In this town to-day the fans feel
sure that the home team viii win the
baseball championship. Most of them
think the series will go six games

Nelson Toiling Hard
For Wolgast Battle

CHICAGO, ILL. Oct S-An unusu-
ally large crowd of fight fans watched
Battling Nelson go through his daily
workout at local gymnasium yesterday
afternoon in preparation for his com
ing battle with Ad wolgast at Milwau-
kee on October Is. Although the fight
is one between ex-champions the Dane
could not be more painstaking In his
work were it real championship affair
Nelson Is showing a lot Of stuff and If
he keeps on at the present training clip
he is bound to give Wolgast a hard
fight On the first day Of the present
year Bat gave Leach Cross a tough bat
tie for ten rounds. and at the end Of
the match he had the New York dentist
feeling distinctly tired. Nelson has not
dissipated since and with mis- present
condition and early training work will be
likely to give Wolgast the fight Of his
life when they meet in the Milwaukee
ring.

Not as spectacular as his wallops OF

finally buried under a mass of other

carried the Athletics through. But
for Bakers drive It is conceivable
that the game would have eventually
been called on account of darkness

Alfalfa incubation Tests.

TO determine whether incubation by
soil from an old alfalfa field. by liquid
cultures or by using farm manure is
the most successful for alfalfa, trials
recently have been made at the Ne
braska experiment station. The best
results were obtained from the use of
the alfalfa soil. The use of the LIQUID
culture was found to be much better
than no incubation at all and also con-
sldered fairly satisfactory in many
places. The use of farm II was
found to be highly valuable in securing
a stand, as it seemed to help the young
plant to take hold. In several places

SHELTER FARM MACHINES.
Care Will Be Well Repaid In the Time
and Money Saved,

DO not forget that the implements
and machines on the farm represent an
investment and that when exposed to
the weather they deteriorate rapidly,
thus making the upkeep and original
cost a heavier charge against the equip
ment. Dew, rain and sunshine may
cause greater deterioration in eXpen-
sive implements than ordinary use.
To leave the implements at the end Of
the rows or in the field without shelter
means great loss. No progressive
farmer can afford it.
Binders. mowers. hay presses. trac-
tors. silage cutters and other machines
represent considerable capital. and it
is economy to shelter and care for
them when mo- in use. \ tool shed
costs little.
The shed is really insurance upon the
implements from sun. rain and rust.
Even the small tools, such as single
stocks, shovels, sweeps. hoes, spades.
double shovels and c%ultivators, need
shelter. And there is another advan-
tage besides the loss in deterioration.
That is in saving time. When the i'm
