exception of one short visit to the
western end of the Tener circuit.
Good weather can be looked for
from now on, and the long home stay
means there will be0plenty of oppor-
tunity for morning practice. O'Day
will be able to weld the infield to-
gether, and the batters will be en-
abled to swing against the pitching of
the good local second string men. If
the team does not profit from this
schooling, then there is no hope.
There is enough mechanical ability
present to make a good showing. 1t
needs polishing and practice.
An evidence of the weak batting
came in the very first inning at. st.
Louis. yesterday. Leach and Good
opened with singles and Sweeney
sacrificed. That put men on second
and third with one out, and two fam
ed clouters, Zimmerman and Schultz,
coming to bat.
And see what happened. It took
only three pitched balls for Doak to
fan Zim. Heinie swung at all Of them,
and they were good pitches. That
shows that his eye is not true yet.
Then came Schultz, and he repeated
the Zim performance. Two of the best
Cub batters whitfield with budding
runs on second and third. A single
meant two and a long fly from Zim

Other chances were presented lat

HUMPHREYS pitched as good brand
of stuff as he ever did in his life. He
allowed seven hits and granted one
pass. Both of the Card runs were the
direct results of errors.
In one session Bresnahan threw a
man. out at second. The umpire voted
him dead, but Zim dropped the ball
and the decision was reversed. Then

to sail for home. He recovered and
made a peg which should have extin-
guished Cruise. But Bresnahan, who
has had little practice, and was relieY-
ing Archer because of a stone bruise,
let the ball get away, and run
counted.
These unfortunate happenings will
not be so frequent when the team has
had chance to get in shape. Ten
Cubs famed.
Bob Groom, formerly of Washing
ton, was too much for Tinker's Feds,
and Mordecai Browns crew won the
first game. Claude Hendrix was al
most as good as Groom. He couldn't
win when his mates weren't batting,
though plenty of openings were pre-
sented through which they should
have oozed a victory.
At one time the Chifeds filled the
bases with none out, but Wickland,
Farrell and Hendrix were breezed by
Groom's wide bending fioater. In be-
tween these unfortunate happenings
a pass was handed to Wilson, result
ing in the lone Tinker run.
At present Brown has one of the
best teams in the Federal circuit. The
club is clouting aggregation, and
the fielding is acceptable to the most
exacting. Getting licked by the Bird
well Ward Miller Boucher Drake
Hartley combination is no disgrace,
particularly when Groom, who was a
puzzle to every team in the American
League is on the mound.
RoIIie Zeider has not yet begun to
do the brand of batting he is capable
of. When Rollie joins the clouting
ranks headed by Wickland, Zwilling
and Tinker there will be another
story. Then it will be possible for
the former Sox favorite to show his
vaunted speed on the bases, and more

London, Aug. 1.-THE Daily

Popularity of an Amer

Town

Paris, Aug. 11.-An American
army officer who has been acting as
military attache with the French
army was in a garrison in a town
near the German frontier with his
regiment when a mobilization order
was posted. His American army
uniform attracted attention and the
townspeople asked him:
Are you English or Russian?"
This query was put to the officer
many times and his responses that
he was an American always was fol-
lowed by an invitation to have a bot
tie of wine. At last fearing too
many refusals to accept the hospitali-
ty might cause offense the American
went to the commandant and asked
him that he be allowed to change his
uniform for plain clothes so he
would not attract attention. His re-
quest was granted.

WHY NOT ENERGY FROM SUM-
Problem That Should Engage the At
tention Of Those Interested In
Deep Experiments.

In view Of the fact that the sun
delivers energy to the earth at the
rate of 1000 horsepower per acre, it
is not surprising that the problem of
devising a motor which shall trans
nit this energy into useful work has
proven an attractive one to the eX-
perimentalist. Thus, in California
there was erected a plant in which
the heat rays were made to converge
upon a steam boiler, that generated
sufficient steam to run an eight-horse-
power pump. Two more modern and
perhaps better known installations
are those erected at Philadelphia, and
later at Meadi, Egypt, the plants in
these two experiments being designed
on the principle of concentrating the
suns rays upon boiler Of large area
and very low pressure.
An analysis of the Egyptian plant,
made by Mr. A s. E. Alderman, B..
Sc, extended over three weeks; dur
ing which he was able to record as
the highest output only 1911 pump
horsepower from a sunshine absorb
ing plant covering seven-eighths of
an acre. That is to say, he recorded
less than 20 pump horsepower, as
against the 5000 horsepower which
would have been obtained from a per-
feet motor, capable Of utilizing the
suns radiation direct
The result show how little promise
there is Of obtaining mechanical ener-
gy from the sunshine on a CONNER
cially economical scale
