S6,5OO,OO0 Out
of $3.50 CabitdZ; Goes
Broke in Stock Market

New York, Aug. 2s.-The announce
ment here Of the failure OF E. c. Scales
has served to recall one Of the most
meteOric careers which the financial
world has ever seen. Perhaps its most
spectacular achievement was back in
1908, when Mr.. Scales found himself in
Dallas, Texas, as nearly penniless as
a man Of his experience could be- He
had absolutely no cash. and nothing Of
value except one diamond stud which
he pawned for $3.50. It is a matter OF
record that through speculation in the
cotton market he actually ran this $3.50
up to S5,500.0OO.
Perhaps II he had not taken a Ger
tain walk he might have that money
vet, since at that time he was in poor
health and had decided to take his
profits and get out OF the market the
next DAY. In the afternoon. however.
he took a long walk. and awoke the
next morning feeling so much better
that he Immediately abandoned his plan
for taking his profits.
When he finally did get out. specu-
lators had taken more than half OF
his fortune from him, and the rest he
lost in subsequent campaigns. Mr..
Scales has been broke a number OF
times before, however. and always
come UP again, and his friends believe
that the present case will prove no ex-
ception to this rule.

HERALD CONTEST AUTO WILL
TAKE WEARY MOTHERS RIDING
Adutant James Hunter Of the Salvation Army Wins the
Prize of an Auto for Day and Will Take Mothers Of
the South Side for Glad Outing in New Stude-

Never could an auto look more proud
or graceful than this, with its happy
freight
Remember, have many mothers TO
cheer and only one day I reckon
that I could give at least 50 mothers
a six-mile ride and a cool rest be-
meath the shades Of the grateful trees
,that adorn our city park I would
like to do the same for all the chill
dreu, but I have only one day, and
this time the mothers need It most II
that be possible
At the end Of the day that auto
would glide into its resting place
weary and content, and undishon-
ored," graced by giving its services
70 weary mortaIs for zone glad, long
summer day" Hurrah for the autol
Now, my dear Herald. don't imagine
that I have the presumption to think
that I shall lay my hands upon that
noble auto OF a day. but I hope that
the successful and happy contestant
may find il convenient to include
within the scope OF his wiser plans. a
healthful free and happy ride to the
weary mothers among the poor Of our
city.
Being a bachelor OF q confirmed

SLIPPERY GRIPS. - In rainy

tremely difficult to get a firm
enough grip on their clubs without
so Tightening their muscles as to
make it impossible TO swing prop
erly-
Many devices. such as rough
rubber grips TO be wound or
snapped over the usual leather
wrapping, have been tried with
varying degrees of success.
over on the other side, where II
rains much more than with US, the
experts long ago discovered that
the use Of a light cotton glove
enables them to keep a firm grip
on the club, regardless Of the
deluge.
For this purpose a cotton glove
size too large is a good thing 10
carry in the bag at all times. Wet
ting them makes the gloves shrink,
and it is just as wen to provide
for this when purchasing your
pair. a pocket handkerchief
wrapped around the grip will pro-
duce the same result, but with
greater discomfort.

TEW YORK. Aug 29.-There may be

- he can predict the ultimate winner
Of that breakneck race in the Ma
tional league. but II he happens to name
The correct team he can be branded as
nothing more than a good guesser- There
man can forecast the victor with any rea-
sonable degree Of certainty, even in his
own mind that he is right any one OF
the four clubs punched up in front has such
& good chance TO win that it cannot be
counted out Of the fight until the last week
OF the season With the thing as close as
IL IS some one little event during the final
five OF six days-possibly the injury Of some
star player-ulay decide the argument
One striking feature Of this battle royal
IS that each one Of the four clubs involved
has q different style Of playing. OF rather
. different KIND Of punch Ihe strong
point Of the Boston Braves is sensational
defence. with about as much responsible
ity the fielders as on the pitchers. The
Braves are leading their league in fielding.

on the bases Higgins is instructing his
men TO 90 out for steals whenever an op-
portunity arises. The Cubs are relying
mainly on heavy hitting The Giants
strength lies principally in balance, fair
work in every department when the team
is on its game
There IS one thing that we believe would
put the Giants on their feet again imne-
diHtely II IL could be brought to pass,
which. however. seems hardly al ell likely.
That is the locating by Larry Doyle Of
