NOTES OF YESTERDAYS GAME.

Manager Mack has completely recovered
| from his recent indisposition. and al
rected affairs from the bench.
1t may be good baseball to walk Baker
purposely to take a chance on McInnes
but the Athletics don't care il Opposing
teams always follow that policy, fol
"Stufy'' McInnes is almost certain Il
make the pitcher regret ever picking hin
4 out as a mark.
/ Only thirty-one players faced Shawkey
who has been curving in great shape fol
/ the last month.
/ John ffenry threw in fine style. Ever,
one Of his throws helped to gum sorties.
| 1t may be different tomorrow afternoon
when Walter johnson will be in the boz
! for Washington.
- Mike Mitchell saw the Athletics in &C.
ton for the first time in his life. He ad.
nlitted that they somewhat resembled a
! ball team.
Washington doesn't miss Milan any
more than an oyster stew misses the
oyster.
Schaefer and Altrock, eccentric COM
edy duo, were full of chatter and kept
the crowd in good humor. Germany
bstted for Ayers in the. sixth and rolled
grounder TO Barry.
Fully 5000 were in the stands and they
reveled in the rapid fire run making.
For some reason. Clark Griffith side
tracked Walter johnson at the last
minute, although he came here a day in
advance to rest for the game. Griffith
chose Ayers instead and the chances are
that johnson will be on the mound to-
morrow.
Baker had a perfect day. He singled
twice and drew two passes.
Second Baseman Morgan, signed q
contract with the Washington club for
1915. 1916 and 1871. Griffith is having no
trouble getting his mainstays in line.
This was a day in which Washington
had no alibi.

BUSINESS REORGANIZES
The Sheep Store Changes to Fal
Greek Mercantile Co. (

incorporation papers we're filed this
last week for the reorganization a the
mercantile department of the Fail
Greek Sheep company. During the
past few years the business ot ne
company has grown to such a vdaHnie
as to become unwieldy and iu\was
thought best to separate the store
from the other departments. y
The directors of the new or ganizat
ton are: Chas Hartley, r. B. Green
wood, T. e. st. John, W. p Vaughan,
R. E. Austin. Edw. Cronkhite and F..
ID. Durkee; officers, R. B. Greenwood,
president; T. E. St. John, vice pfesi-
dent, and ]. G. Vaughan, secretary
treasurer.
The members of the new organiza-
tion advise us that there will be no
radical change in the policy of the
company, that as heretofore a Square
Deal" motto will be the standard. De-
partment managers will have charge
of each department and will endeavor
at all times to carry the best lines of
merchandise and to buy these lines
at prices that will enable them to sell
at attractive prices.

BOY AND GIRL MEMBERS.
Great Growth of Interest Among the
Youth of the State in Club Work.

Washington, May 27-The boys and
girls clubs of the west, will, for the
first time, receive material assistance
from the government under an amend
ment offered by Senator Brady tc the
agricultural appropriation bill AS the
bill was reported to the senate It car
ried 100000 for farm demonstration
work" Senator Brady offered an
amendment authorizing an appropria-
tion of 100000 "for farm demuustra-
ton work and for conducting boys
and girls clubs" so that not less than
half the amot NJ available on Jul LIST
will go to TIE bene'i. o. these clubs
Senator Brady in pressing his amend
ment, showed that in 1911 there we're
no boys and girls clubs in Idaho.
whereas today the Idaho clubs hay e
$4,000 members. With liberal ap-
preparation for government aid, the
senator maintained that the member
ship of the clubs would be largely in
creased, and in some states doubled
this year, and in view of the practical
results obtained through these clubs,
he urged the senate to adopt his am
endment. After hearing Senator
Brady's statement, the senate agreed
to his amendment without opposition.

PROGRESSIVE PARTY FADING
Registration in Pennsylvania Shows a
Decrease in Teddy's Followers

Washington. May 26-The complete
registration for the state of Pennsv-
lvania furnishes evidence of the de
cline of the Bull Moose party in that
state. In 1912 the Republican vote in
that state was 2s3,S6O. The Republi-
can registration, which has just closed
totals 6S1 ,4S5, a Republican gain OF
39S,125.
The vote cast by the Progressives in
1912 in Pennsylvania was 444,9S4. The
third party's total registration is now
only 114,611, a Progressive loss of 33O-
2sS.
The democratic vote in 1912 was
1896 ,647. The democratic registration
just closed totals 374,617, a demo-
cratic loss of p ,OSO. In other words,
there we're more democrats voting in
1912 than are now registered.
These figures show the political
trend. Not only are the Pennsylvania
progressives coming back into the re-
publican party, but many democrats
have become disgusted with the in
competency of the party in power and
are joining the other parties. In all
sections of the country the same stu
alton exists.

COST OF RAISING WHEAT
canadian Government Makes interest
ing RepOrt-OVer II Per
Cent Increase.

Washington, May Is. - America
wheat growers and farmers will be
interested in a report of a commission
appointed by the government of Sas-
katchewan Ito examine into the ways
and means for bettering the position
OF Saskatchewan grain in the Euro
pean markets" Incident to this in
vestigatiOn the commission looked
into the cost of producing wheat un-
der present conditions in that prov
ince of Canada The wheat producers
OF various sections of the United
States will be interested to know that
under present conditions the cost of
producing wheat as determined by
the commission is reported to be 55
cents per bushel on the farm and 62
cents per bushel f. o. b. cars at coun-
try points According to the report.
the cost Of production has increased
l215 per cent since 1909. while. on
the other hand, the price of wheat to
the Saskatchewan farmer has de-
creased from 81 1-5 cents per bushel
in 1909 to Sc Is cents per bushel in
1913, leaving a net return. on this
basis, of rs cents per bushel to the
farmer.
1t is possible that the interesting
figures which have been developed by
the grain commission will account for
the fact that a large number of
American farmers who have, in re-
cent years, left the states to engage
in farming in this territory are now
asking for a certificate which permits
the return of household effects to the
United States. If the economic situ-
alton suggested in the above state
ment is not the cause. perhaps it may
be found i'm the long and rigorous
winters characteristic of this section
as compared with those i'm the leading
farming districts of the states.
