which all the players In London were

Sir John Millais to complete. One

In the initial combat and rolled out
a couple of times via the pitcher. In
the afterpiece he struck out the first
time up, then got an infield single.
He was forced to quit here because of
his lame knee, Bodie playing left field
without damage to either team. Scott
held Boston to seven hits and deserV-
ed win. Engle, Gardner and Hooper
upset him. In the second O'Brien was
good for six innings, LathrOp was
not scored on in the seventh and
Benz escaped in the eighth. Six hits
were nailed by the Red Sox, the Cal
lahans getting nine Buck Weaver
cracked three hits, but also cracked
four times in the field.
The SOx were trimmed a plenty
and at the end didn't have an alibi.
They were punk and didn't deserve to
win.
Demaree and Fromme bested Doak
and Sallee in a pair of pitchers duels,
st. Louis dropping both games to the
Giants. Higgins men got five hits
in each game. Demaree scored the
only run of his game with a sacrifice
fly. Burns sewed up the second for
New York with a homer. Fletcher
fielded sensationaIly in the two at
lacks.
Hendrix had nothing to deceive
the Phillies in the pinches and Pitts
burgh dropped another. Alexander
relieved Mayer in the sixth and held
the Pirates scOreless. The two pitch
eTs we're the only Phils who failed
to hit. Becker got a homer and sin
gle and Doolan a triple. and single.
Hendrix and Butler, with a triple
each, were responsible for all the Pr
rate runs.
The old Cub battery, Brown and
King, put another game away for
Cincinnati. Brownie relieved John

runs ahead and did not allow hit.

Every Mackman, with the excep-
ton OF Pitcher Brown, took at least
one safe smash at the offerings of
Dauss and House, and Detroit was
licked handily. Crawford got three
singles, half the Tiger total Lapp
smashed a triple and single for the
Athletics.
Joe EngeI, Clark Grifffth's young
highlander, is beginning to arrive.
He won his second game of the series
from st. Louis, letting the Browns
down with three hits. In the two
battles st. Louis has hit safely only
five times. GandiI got three hits, and
was a big factor in the Washington
victory. LeVerenz did not grant a
pass.
A big inning in each game gave
Cleveland a double win over the
Chankees. Four runs were scored in
the sixth inning of the first fight and
six in the fourth inning of the Sec
ond. Joe Jackson got a homer, dou-
bic and two singles. Midget LeiboId
tripled once and singled three times.
Eddie Sweeney got three hits in the
first game for New York. Kahler and
Mitchell did the pitching for CIeve-
land, Heating, Mcconnell, WARRIOR
and Schulz making a stab at the
same job for New York.
RUDE Benton, Red pitcher, coIIided
with a street car while riding his
motorcycle in Cincinnati last night
and received a broken jaw. He will
be out of the game several weeks.

Articles priced at cents would in
many cases be reduced to 213 cents
if such coins were available. Mr..
Howe would not be surprised to see
the Two-and-a-half and Five-cent
Store" replace the Five and Ten
cent Store"
The particular purpose of using the
"shin plasters," according to Howe,
is to stimulate the use of the parcel
post. He pointed out to the secretary
that the great majority of working
men do not have bank accounts and
that many persons do not know how
to draw a check. or have an oppor-
tunity to draw one. The use of
money order costs a fee. He con-
tends that rs and 50-cent paper
note would be extensively used in
making remittances by mail and
would thus stimulate the parcel post
business. The secretary has taken
the matter under advisement.

LONE BIT" HALF CENT AND HALF
NICKEL A POSSIBILITY
Washington, Oct. 13.-The zone
bit" piece may become a reality in the
United States if Secretary McAdoo
seriously considers the plan proposed
to him by Frederic G. Howe of New
York, who came to Washington to
confer with the secretary on the mat
ter of coming such pieces.
Mr. Howe, who is the director of
the Peoples Institute in New York,
believes, that a practical method of
reducing the high cost of living will
be to coin half-cent, two-and-a-half
cent and twelve-and-a-half cent
pieces. He also wants the Treasury
Department to begin the issue of the
abandoned "shin plasters" in denom-
nations of 25 and so cents.
e.. The half-cent piece would be COIN
ed by punching square hole in the
one-cent coin, the 21a-cent piece
would use the nickel in the same way,
and the 121a-cent coin would be
made by punching hole in the quar-
ter
1t is Mr.. Howe's contention, as ex-
pressed to the secretary, that such
coins would bring down the prices of
many articles which are now priced
higher because we have no con-
venient coins in which to express
their value. He believes that many
articles which now sell for one cent
would go. to half-cent if we had
such coin. He points out that in
all other countries a coin of small
denomination is used to advantage.
He goes on to show that in the West |
for many years one-cent piece was
a curiosity and that newspapers and
other articles sold for nickel sim
