BOdie. Saying Lewis had an easy
chance to get Bodie makes Pings
stunt look cheesy, but it wasn't.
Lewis had to make a perfect throw
for the play. Maybe Ping didn't think
it all out, but his play was a good
one, as Lewis could only get him
through a quick pickup and accu-
rate throw. Ping scored the winning
run on Walsh's single. Let's ease OIL
on Bodie for a while. He's slow on
the bases and is a slOuchy-loOking
player, but right now the fence bust
er is playing a neat game Of ball.
His hits are liners that travel through
the infieId and since being logged by
Manager Callahan the Italian has
been getting balls back from the out
field quickly, preventing alien run
ners taking extra bases.
Four games out of five were taken
from Boston. The Macks are here
for six engagements, starting today,
and the best we expect is an even
break. The Athletics dropped three
out of four to Detroit and some one
has to pay for it.
Larry ChappeIle did not reach Chi
cago yesterday and Mattick was in
center. You gotta hand it to the
Evening American. At $3.50 yester-
day morning the paper was on the
street with a story ''By Larry Chap
pelle," telling how he broke into the
big leagues. Larry must be some
writer. He didn't leave Milwaukee
until 2 o'clock. Figure it out for
yourself.
Yesterday it was BrookIyn's turn
to pull some Woody stuff against the
Cubs, who are alternating with the
Dodgers in an exhibition of how not
to play baseball in their present ser
les, and the Evers crew won, in spite
of bad pitching by Larry Cheney.
President Ebbetts of Brooklyn

The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1913-07-16

Cubs scored three runs on two hits;
in. the seventh they got four more
on two hits.
Cheney did not pitch his regular
game. He was stung for nine hits,
handed out four passes and pune
tUred one DOdger in the ribs. His
support was perfect for a change, or
the result would have been disas-
trOus.
Vic Safer should get the lions
share of credit for the Cub victory.
The husky first baseman lifted one
ball over the fence for a homer with
none out, headed a second batting
rally with single, and cleaned the
loaded bases in the seventh with a
long single which was fumbled when
returned from the outfeld. His other
two times up Vic walked. Leach and
Schultz also compiled pinch hits.
RagOn might have beaten the
Cubs, but he was lifted to make way
for a pinch hitter, and Stack was
wild and ineffective.
Wheat pOled a homer with two on
in the ninth for three of the DOdger
runs. The other three were scored in
the sixth on two passes and three
hits before a man was retired.
The record of the Cubs on the
present Eastern trip stands three
won and four lost and prospects are
good for an even break at the worst.
Philadelphia has rallied against the
Cardinals, but the pitchers and not
the batters are doing the work for
Doom, and EVeTs has a better bat
ting aggregation than Higgins. BOs-
ton will be a hard nut to crack, but
the trimmings they are receiving
from Pittsburgh will weaken their
confidence. If Pierce can pitch as
he did before the team left home and
HUMPHREYS and Lavender keep up
their good work there is room for

Valley, have at various periods expert
enced loss of cattle pastured on stand
ing corn stalks after the corn has been
harvested in the autumn.
An element of mystery has sur
rounded the death of cattle In these
instances. The disease is character
lied by very rapid course; in fact,
very commonly there are no premoni-
tory symptoms, and it is not unusual
for the owner upon visiting the field
in the morning to find one or more fat
cattle dead, which on the previous
evening were apparently in excellent
health.
Another popularity of the disease
is that losses may occur on one farm
or in one field while cattle on an al
joining farm or In an adjacent field
may be free from the affection.
Various Investigators in the past
have attempted to discover some germ
or some toxic substance which might
be determined as the cause OF this
condition, but thus far the cause OF
the disease has not been established.
las death of stock from this affec
ton is generally sudden and there is
little opportunity for treatment, ami
mails should not be turned into 6
field of standing stalks.
AS a matter of fact the disease
may be actually prevented by cutting
the stalks early and only feeding then
after they have been carefully cured
and removed from the field Losses
from feeding on standing cornstalks
in the barnyard OF corral, or, better
still, shredding the dry stalks, under
which condition they may be fed witt
the least possible waste.
THE so-called cornstalk disease
should not be confused with POISONING
from eating sorghum. Deaths amons
stock from eating sorghum have beer
traced to prussic acid poisoning, which
poison the sorghum under certain
conditions of growth has been fount
to contain in combination

BUSINESS IRRITATED

What It is Going to Get viii be Worse

NEW YORK, Oct. 29.-Charging

ity for the downward course of secur-
tiles in the last two years, President
Caldwell in his annual address, open
ing the second conference of the In
vestment Bankers of America de-
|nounced what he termed government
irritation of business.
The course of security simply re-
fleets the disgust of capital because
the administration of both Taft and
Wilson seemed determined to irritate
and regulate business" said Caldwell.
For instance no one here believes
Atchison common, is selling at ninety

bonds it is down almost to panic
prices because of the belief of tho

get will be worse than what we have
had. Corporations, especially rail-
ways, will not get square deal the
next few years"
Caldwell sounds warning not in
the interest of the big fellow but in
interest of the little fellows with saw

MARKET BASKET
AND NEW TARIFF
Some Things Should be Cheaper, Bus
There is no Positiveness That
They Will Be.

[By Bond P. Geddes, Staff Correspond,
ent of the United Press.l
WASHINGTON Oct 29.-While the
whole trend of the new tariff law upon
the American market basket" Is to-
ward cheapening the cost of eats" it
is extremely doubtful if much real
benefit will be felt by Mr.. Common
People when he goes to the grocery
store.
The free market basket" was one Of
the big features of the democratic
tariff fight. In theory, the democrats
kept their promise scrupulously. Prac-
tically everything eatable, at least the
staples of the American table, was
placed on the free list. Meats, vege-
tables, fish, coffee, lard and salt are
included. But the American consum-
er is so largely dependent upon Ameri
can products that foreign competition
can not soon, if ever, force the corner
groceryman to cut his prices to you
The middleman must also be consider
ed.
Not for long, long time will the tar
if of itself result in cheapening the
contents of the American dinner pail

Coffee and cocoa, now duty free,
were also duty free under the old

folly to expect retail price reductions
on coffee in the future because of the
tariff revision. Placing of wheat on

In some sections, where Canadian
fish can be imported cheaply, the re.
