called upon Griffith yesterday looking
for any superfiuous talent the Old Fox
may have on his hands.
Grin told Flaherty that he was
down to the limit now and that there
was nothing doing In the shape of
trades or sales.
With the Lynn club is Guy johnson.
the young pitcher who was taken to
Charlottesville with the Nationals two
years ago. and Flaherty states that
johnson is one of the best in the New

Up to date johnson has won seven
straight games and is sure to be found
in faster company next year.

NTERCITY CHESS
MATCH UNFINISHED
Brooklyn and Washington Players
Fail to Reach Decision in Tele-
graphic Contest.

After an all-day struggle. determinediy
contested on every board, four games
in the telegraphic chess match between
the Brooklyn Chess Club and the Capital
City Chess Club remained unfinished.
These are being adjudicated by the UNI
pire. W. s. Ryan. of New York. in ac-
cordance with the previous agreement
that all games remaining unfinished al
midnight should be SO decided.
While the local players had the ad-
vantage on all of these games. and wins
were claimed. their more experienced
opponents kept them at bay until ad-
journment, as adjudicated games are
usually considered as draws unless a
clear. forced win in sight. This would
give the match TO Brooklyn.
Results to date are as follows:

1t has been learned from a New York

for the Capital City organization. as it
was opposed to a club which claims TO
be the strongest in America, and played
on its team some of the best known
players in the country. During the first

looked probable, but losses by two local

|GRIFF'S HlJR[ERS
WORKING WELL
Nationals Now Have Good
Boxmen to Aid Walter
Johnson.
SHAW IN THE LMELICHT
Younsster Has Pitched Mighty Good
Ball-Ayers Does
Well.

Sport writer's have had a lot of amuss-
ment in days gone by. referring to Wal
ter johnson as the Nationals pitching
much more space these days. Walter
Is either finding the opposition a little
tougher or the opposition Is finding WAL
ter a little easier, which is some ques-
tion and one to bring forth arguments
until Honus Wagner is in the Old Mems
Home.
No matter what the cause, the result
remains that while johnson has won
eight games and lost four he hasn't been
quite so effective in striking out the op-
posing batsmen as he was last year.
Johnson started the season with a rush
that indicated a year better than Joe
Woods famous season OF 1919, but after
he defeated the Red Sox and the High
landers in New York he was upset badly.
five runs were scored OF him, Rankin
Johnson officiating against him. This and
two other days when he was showed In
as a relief artist against the Athletics.
his record was shattered to such an ex-
tent that he will have to furnish con-
siderable work to get back to what was
expected of him before the curtain went
up on the 1914 season
Up to date the figures show he struck
out one man for every two innings
pitched. as against one man for every
inning and half last year. This, Of
course. Is comparing complete year with
only a month and a half of 1914. but it
nevertheless gives a very fair idea OF
what the blonde shrapner' has achieved
in the present campaign.
Men TO Help johnson.
1t has been said many times that IL
Clark Griffith had one pitcher who could
turn in as good work as Walter to help
out the big fellow he would have a
startling representation IN the standing
of the clubs. Griff now has one man
who has been duplicating Johnson's sue
cess and another who isn't far behind,
they being Shaw and Ayres.
Shaw has been remarkably effective
at stopping the batters at the plate.
SURPRISING johnson in these averages. In
the thirteen games in which he has par
ticipated his average strike-outs have
been = per inning. = better than John
son and shade better than six strike
outs per nine-inning game. With this
sort of pitching and Ayers and BoehlinS
going as they are. il seems Grin should
have even a better stand than he has.
What Pitchers Are Doing.

pitching corps of the Nationals have
been doing We will submit the following

same question. 1t will invariably
be ION the farm, and was fool
for ever leaving"
The best place in this world
for the young man of the farm is
right on that farm, or a better
one.
If you use your brains there is
no limit to the wealth you may
dig from the soil. Your oppor-
tunities are a hundred to one as
compared to city life. The world
is at the feet of the farmer.
The farm is crying for you
for more like you.
Cities are groaning under the
weight of too many of you.
The young man of the farm is
wise when he knows the value of
his opportunities-the danger of
chimerical calls.
Mrs. Grundy. (Tracy City, Tenn.) 1903-1930, 1914-07-30
Too Much City.

Every man makes mistakes.
The wise profit by them-the
foolish heed them not.
The young man of eighteen or
twenty is on the threshold of life.
He is face to face with one of the
grayest of life's problems--his
future.
At about this age many of the
young men of the farm make
their frs mistake, that of rush
ing to the big city. 1t is often a
fatal one.
The brilliant electric lights
and the 'great white way" make
an allurlng picture to them. 1t
sounds the call to which youth
quickly responds.
But all is not gold tnat glitters.
There is much of dross.
Large cities are overcrowded
with men from the green farms
of the country. A limited few
have ever met with success, but
the majority are in one weary
and continuous struggle for
bread.
For each job in the city there
are from two to a hundred appli.
cants. For every position of
worth there are dozens of young
men with influential friends" to
secure them preference.
Take a walk into the poorer
districts of some great city. Ask
the first down and out" you
meet where he spent his youth.
He will most likely tell you "on
the farm-wish / was bask
again."
Go into the stores, the business
offices, the shops, and ask the

Weather Hurts Tobacco.


Reports from Olarksville say
there seems to be a continuation
of weather that not only prevents
tobacco from growing, but is
causing many plants to perish.
This condition has caused some
farmers to pillow up their tobacco
preparatory for sowing millet, If
ever it rains. In fact, never has
the tobacco crop made such q
poor showing as at the present
time.
The local BUYERS have been Civ
ing a great deal of attention re-
Gently to the Springfield market,
until they have taken all of the
stock at that place except about
300 hogsheads. After that is ex-
hausted all attention will be Civ
en- to this market, and only few
weeks will be required to take
oyer the stock left on hand. The
idea has gone out into some sec
tions of the district that prices
had declined in the past two
weeks. There is nothing to indi-
cate that this is true.
