NEW YORK, July 24.-The Irish

altogether by the Sons of Erin.
One of the recent lists of averages
for the American League shows only
two out-and-out Irish names among a
list of fifty pitchers. This pair was
Collins. of the Red 'sox. and McHale
of the Yankees. Against them there
are Is pitchers who have unmistake-
able German names and about six
others whose names may be German
and may not. But whatever they
are they aren't Irish.
Forty-five pitchers were in the Ma.
tional League list and only four had
Irish sounding names-Ragon of the
Dodgers, Ames OF the Reds and Nc
And there.is question as to whether
Ames despite his red hair is an Irish.

appear in the pitching list and there
are about seven other pitchers whose
names seem to have a German flavor
Irish No Hitters.
In the American League batting list
that included all hitters over 200
there were Is names. The Irish had a
somewhat better representation there
than in the pitching list but 1t wasn't
enough to give the Irish cause for q
celebration for once again the German
outnumbered them The list showed

In the National League batting list

the fight between the Irish and the
Germans the former were worsted, the

HAVEN DIRECTORATE
WANTS COMPROMISE
Officials Predict Satisfactory
Settlement After Reply to
Suit.

NEW YORK, July 24.-Officials of
the New York, New Haven & Hartford
railway made it clear today that at.
ter they have filed their answer to the
federal dissolution suit filed by the
government yesterday, they expect q
compromise to be reached that will
result in q settlement satisfactory to
both sides. They asserted that they
would stand pat in their opposition to
the Massachusetts, demand that that
state have . perpetual option on the
stock Of the Boston q Maine railroads,
but intimated that offers to alter the
attitude Of the Massachusetts, legisla-
ture were being made with q fair
chance Of success. Officials Of the
road heard today that Attorney Cen
eral McReynolds had come secretly to
New York to press the early work pre-
paratory to the trial Of the dissolution
suit.
At his office In Washington, It was
admitted that he had left the capital.
The matter OF criminal prosecution OF

There are baseball fans and other
kinds of fans.
The hot weather fan is the boy who
isn't happy unless he's miserable
watching the mercury climb in the
thermometer these hot days. He is
the chap who is not content to sit
In the shade, but must gawk at
thermometer on the hottest corner in
town and comment in long disserta-
lions on the weather record.
Perhaps everybody in the shop or
office has made up his mind that 1t
is hot, but does not intend to let
that worry him. Along comes the hot
weather fan, that bore of July days,
rushes to the thermometer, and over
to the nearest ne1ghbors with the It'd
ing of great joy that it is getting hot
ter. OF course, that's bound to cool
the rest of the office force.
The hot weather fan Is genuinely
disappointed. in fact he's insulted, if
his friends and neighbors do not COS
sip with him for fifteen minutes on
the way the thermometer is rising and
the sun is baking the streets and
lawns.
A lynching party for the hot weather
fan would be too mild punishment.

YEARS MELON CROP
OF FINEST QUALITY
Home Grown Product Prom
ises to Excel Goods Ship
ped From South.

The sugar corn on the markets Is Of
excellent quality and there appears to
be large enough supply to meet the
demand, so the price is expected to
drop considerably. At the present
time, however, the best variety of su-
gar corn is selling at 20 cents a Dozen
Local grocers are having hard time
getting enough tomatoes to meet the
demand. A small amount of tomatoes
has appeared with poor prospects of
any greater amount, as there is a scar
city in this part of the country. Peas
and green beans are also scarce. The
dry weather several weeks ago is the
chief cause of this scarcity.
Melons this year are OF the very best
quality. At the present time, practi-
cally all the watermelons that are sold
here come from Georgia. The quality
is extra fine. They are selling from
Csc to SOC each, according to- size.
Home grown melons will not appear
before August /, but it is reported that
the quality of the home grown melons
is even better than the Georgian va
riety.
Cantaloupes are also of excellent
quality. The season seems to have
been advantageous to melons. The
cantaloupes sold here now come most
ly from Georgia, North Carolina and
some from Indiana. Home grown can
taloupes will appear on the markets
next week. The Indiana melons are
by far the best eating, as they have a
better flavor than those grown in the
South. There are some California
melons sold here.
Lima beans are expected next week.
although there are none to be had
now A good local crop is reported.
Home grown sweet potatoes appear
this week and are not extra good in
quality. They are selling for 20 cents
a quarter peck. The supply of these
tubers this year is not as large as
usual, for they suffered the same fate
that Irish potatoes did, that Is the ef
fects of the drought several weeks ago.
Home grown mangoes are now on the
local market and are selling at the
rate of ; for 10 cents.
