Despite their success at home, the
Giants have not been behaving like Ma
tional league champions in recent
games. The three time pennant win
ers Of the parent circuit seem to be
fairly launched on their road to the
championship. A good road trip
through hostile company would pretty
nearly insure a repetition Of McGraw's
past successes. There is no soft spot
in the western swing Of the National
at present. unless il be Cincinnati
Many Of the wisest experts Of baseball
pick Henry O'Day's cubs to battle the
Giants TO the last ditch It now looks
as though the real fight will center
between these time honored rivals.

point several degrees higher than

extent and brought relief to the
sweltering population. Yesterday af-

more generous downpours that will
supply the moisture SO badly needed

Local Rigger Lands Big Contract.

Local Bigger Lands Big Contract.
A crew of tWenty-four men in the
employ of Joseph I. Cafiero, the
well-known local rigger, left here
Wednesday morning for st. Martin
vile. where they will dismantle the
Cecilia sugarhouse and crate the ma
chinery for shipment to Venezuela.
The plant will be regretted in that
country, and the same crew which
took it down will be sent there to
put it up on it's new site. The
Cecilia sugarhouse was built two
years ago, large part of the me-
chanical equipment being obtained
from the old Watkins factory in
Calcasieu parish, near Lake Charles.
The contract for transferring this
machinery from the latter place to
ST. Martinville, and for setting it
up in the Cecilia plant, was handled
by Mr.. Cafiero, and he performed the
WORK. in such excellent manner that
he has now been engaged to disman-
tie the factory and put it together
again in far-off Venezuela. Another
crew OF workmen will be despatched
to ST. Martinville next week, and it
is expected the job of taking down
the. machinery and preparing it for
shipment will be completed in about
sixty days.
