BUILDING ACTIVITIES OF TEXAS
DURING JULY.

Fort Worth. Texas, August THE
largest amount of building permits
ever issued in the nine principal cities
in Texas in any one month since the
Texas Business Mems Association be-
gan keeping a record OF these figures,
were authorized in July, when build
ing licenses in the sum of S3,352,072
were issued in these cities. Compar-
ed with the same month last year,
this is an increase OF nearly 100000
Houston lead all other cities during
July. Heretofore Dallas has nearly
always held first place. Houston au-
thorized permits in the sum Of $1,OS7,-
$40 during July. which is the highest
amount issued in any one city in any
one month OF this year. Dallas also
reached it's highest mark for 1914 last
month when $941,5SO IN building GER
tificates were authorized.
Another incident of unusual interest
was the squirt taken by Galveston,
which caused that city to annex third
position in the building permit col
umn. The amount of permits issued
in that city was 100000 and is the
highest amount reacher there since
January, 1918.
The other cities and the amount is
sued during July are as follows: San
Antonio $22S,947, Ell Paso $1S6,910,
Fort Worth $1S6,S2S, Beaumont $751;
1886, Waco s142,75O, Austin $25,64S.

GIANTS FELL down
IN THE STRETCH
GOT "CHESTY" OVER PROSPECT
OF FOURTH STRAIGHT PEN.
NANT AND LOST.

New York, Oct 6.-The once might,
Giants have faded. The nerve-rack
ing pace OF tight pennant race, il
which they hoped to annex their fourth
straight National League champion
ship, has had its effect and the ole
Giant machine has gone to pieces un
der the strain.
A variety of reasons are advanced
for the collapse of the McGraw bench
men. The loss of Herzog and Nc
Cormick, who were members of last
years team, the falling down in bat
ting among the regulars, and the fail
ure of Marquard and Damaree to pitch
up to their 1913 form, all seem to con
tribute to the slump of the old cham
pions.
A comparison of the pitching rec.
ords of 1913 and 1914 shows that Mat
hewson and Tesreau are the only New
York Fingers who have been able to
duplicate this season their perform
ances of last year. Mathewson has
not quite equaled his 1918 mark, but
Tesreau has surpassed his record of
alst year.
In contrast to the good work of
"Matty" and big Jeff the pitching
OF Demaree and Marquard has been a
bitter disappointment to Gotham fans
this season, since great reliance has
been placed on this pair of beavers to
add to the list of victories.
This reversal in pitching form on
the part of the two stars was enough
In itself to put the skids under the
Giants. But in addition, McGraw has
had to contend with weak hitting on
the part of his regulars. While the
Giants surpass the Braves in team
batting, the individual batting marks
of the New Workers, with the excep-
ton of Burns, Grant and Bescher, are
below the percentages turned in last |
season.
The foregoing are the facts and fig
ures in regard to the slump of the
Giants. But in some quarters other
causes are advanced for the downfall
of the old champions. Some say that
the winning of three pennants caused
the team to become ''chesty" Believ-
ing they had a cinch on the flag this
year they took things easy and when
the time came for them to show the
punch or lose-they lost.

POPULARITY Of SPORT
SHOWN BY RECEIPTS
THE cHIcAeo-pETRoIT WORLDS
SERIES IN 1908 MELTED
-, SOS, 900.

New York, Oct. 6.-No clearer or
more positive illustration of the extra
ordinary interest taken by the public
in the annual Worlds Championship
Series of baseball games can be de-
sired than that furnished by glance
at the financial results, a statement
of which is officially announced at the
end of each post-season competition
for the coveted title and flag. Through
the box its popularity can easily be
measured. Compared with the mea-
gre returns at the initial series in
1884 the enormous crowds registered
by the clicking furnishes show that by
leaps and bounds the attendance in
recent years has assumed such gigan-
tic proportions that there is no telling
what it may amount to in years to
come.
The first championship games be-
tween the Providence "Grays" and the
Metropolitans may have been only
lightly attended and there is nothing
On record to show what the receipts
Amounted to for the three games then
played, as Providence won three
straight. The following year, however,
when seven games were played in
four different cities, Chicago, st. Louis,
Pfttsburg and Cincinnati, the finan-
cfal result was about $4,000. That
year the fight was hot one between
the Chicago Nationals and the Amer
lean Association Club of st. Louis,
and one can hardly imagine what
would be the yield just now if such a
series were possible over a similar
circuit
In 1887 when Detroit and st. Louis
mayed fourteen games in nearly a
dozen cities the receipts amounted to
$4,000, about $4,000 a game which
- then considered large amount.
fhe following year s24,s62 was taken
