Mayer Hits Homer

The seventh passed with barren results
and the first two batsmen in the eighth
experienced futile results. Angered by a
previous little 'spat' with the veteran
More, Mayer took his position at bat
with blood in his eye. After fouling and
passing few of the fingers tosses,
Mayer implanted his might behind the
next toss and sent the ball hurtling
through space in the center field groove
Desperately speeding to capture the ter
rife clout, the Nashville felders finally
headed the ball and hurried it in toward
the plate. But before the relay dispatched
the ball home, Mayer had crossed the
plate with the tieing rum
The game was won in the ninth in
ming. ELAN singled to center and ad-
vanced to second on Carrors sacrifice
Hardgrove failed to advance Ellam with a
short fly to right field With the result
impending on his swat, Marcan drove
the ball to the center field groove and
scored the Baron captain with the de-
Gliding marker.

Unabated, the hitting continued in the

AS matter of fact as the head OF

though outwardly he is a subject of

peaceable as any French province,
largely due to his influence He is an

PLENTY OF MONEY IN ITALY
Burden Of Financing the War With
Turkey Has Not Been AppreeIa-
bly, Felt by the People,

An illustration OF the hitherto un-
suspected prosperity Of Italy ia the
fact that she has not had TO borrow
a cent OF foreign money for the ex-
pense OF her war with Turkey. This
war had cost Italy up TO May IL
S47,SS0.O0 or Just $4,000 a day,
since it began on September %, 1911.
Nevertheless, her 3l5 per cent. govern
ment bonds are quoted in the markets
OF Europe between 9Tand 9S. varying
Of course, from day to day Bonaldo
Stringher. director general of the
Bank of Italy, has just made an Of
fetal report stating that Italian en-
igrants send at least 10000, 900 a year
back home, while tourists spend al
most If not quite as much in Italy.
Either one of these sources of wealth
would more than suffice to pay the
entire expenses of the war. Money
is so abundant in Italy that when
popular subscriptions were opened in
many cities for military aeroplanes to
be presented to the government, the
lists were filled in a few days, the
total amount of the subscriptions far
exceeding those of a similar nature in
France, in spite of the wave Of popular
enthusiasm for aeroplaning In the
latter country. 1t is worthy of note
that this war has cost Italy in human
lives only So officers and $40 men,
according to the official figures, an
unprecedentedly small loss for eight
months of active warfare.
