BURNS MAKES TRIPLE,
 WINNING FOR GIANTS
Cheney's Nastfriy Pitching Wins
 for Chicago Nationals.

New York, Aug. 13.-"Slim" Sallee, the beanpole St. Louis pitcher, stands today in all his seven feet, more or less, as a living example that merit is not always rewarded The Car dinal twirler had all sorts of stuff on the ball yesterday and allowed only four hits, but with all that the lucky Giants got away with a to 2 vic tory
 The blame for Sallee's cad tum ble must be placed upon little Georgie Burns. who, with no regard for the fit- ness of things, decided to make three-base hit while various of his colleagues and accomplices, to the number of three, were loafing idly about on the bases with nothing to do but score when the opportunity presented.
 "Stogie" Demaree, who was Sallees rival for pitching honors through most of the game, didn't seem to be very sure of himself under fire ana was pulled out by the willy McGraw in the eighth inning in favor of Art Fromme. The latter pulled the Giants out of a hole Demaree had got into in that inning, and out of another hole which he excavated for himself in the next round
 Burns triple was just the difference between a shut-out and a victory for the Giants. The little oufielder made his timely drive in the sixth inning, in which the Giants got three of their four hits and all their runs.
 The score:
 r. h. e.. New York q Q Q 0 Q 8 0 Ox-3 3 St. Louis 70 0 1 70 0 o O-2 l
 Batteries-Demaree, Fromme and Meyers; Sallee and Snyder.

J9ncs Makes Spectacular Steal; UnD ChScs hCDona|d. | VA'F

Showing renewed ~vigor and playing the snappiest kind of baseball during the entire game New Britain took yesterdays contest from Springfield by the score of ' to 1. The locals Tout -batted and out-played the Spring field men at every stage of the game :. and during the sixth inning, when { they chalked up three runs on as ] many hits, they literally played rings around their opponents.
 Si Mcdonald Banished. All during the game Umpire Kelly had more or less trouble with the Springfield players and warned them repeatedly about making too much noise. Finally matters came to a ! head when in the sixth inning Man. | ager Si Mcdonald undertook to tell the urnp what he thought of him.
 Shut up." says MT. Kelly.
 ''Aw, g'wan, you piece of cheese" responded MT. Si.
 shut up and get out" came back Kelly.
 Cant I direct my men from the bench? 2" argued the Springfield man. ager.
 No, get out was the reply.
 Finally. when Mcdonald showed no signs of obeying Umpire Kelly shouted for Officer Charles Grace to remove him. Then Mcdonald thought dis cretion the better part of valor and dusted. But as he slid through the gates he took one last verbal whack at Umpire Kelly and disappeared.
 Strikes Out Six.
 From a baseball point of view the locals played in championship form, a wild throw to third by Crook and a low throw to first by Moves, being the only misplays. Pete Wilson was never better and aside from striking out six men, Cabby being one of them. he made safe hit and scored a run himself. Justin did not secure a single strike out and each pitcher walked four men.
 Jones' Spectacular Steal.
 Features of the game were catches by Swander and two base hits by Jones, Zeimer, Dawson and Swander. Jones also made a spectacular steal of the keystone sack in the third inning With Dawson on third he took a long lead off first and when the pitcher threw the ball to Stankard he raced for second. After him raced Stankard but the latter stopped in time to throw to the bag ahead of the feet-footed New Britain out fielder. At that very moment how ever, Wee Willie threw himself headlong into the bag and slid safely under the outstretched hands of the Pony shortstop who was holding the ball waiting to touch him. He scored a moment later. The box score:

 but when his teammates made errors or hits landed opponents on the bags. Bailey went to pieces. Along about the fifth or sixth inning Bailey used to get into a hole, and as ne had been doing his best all the time he had no reserve to draw on, and the beans were spilled. In the International league Bailey has been doing ;,oDd work for several years. and Federal league fans in Baltimore are pleased to see him wearing Terrapin uni form.

 Swanders catch of Clark's fly in the seventh inning robbed him of a sure ewo bagger. It was some catch too, as the fielder almost knocked the fence down in grabbing it.
 According to Umpire Kelly the Ponies are real "boisterous boys.
 It fell to the lot of Cabby to make the only error on his team. And when he struck out in the fifth inning he surely was mad.
 For human talking machine Heath has them all stopped. His line of gab is steady and unintermit- tent. He should hire out as a barker at a country fair. But it needs few men like him to inject pep into a team.
 Captain Moves was going to play Heath at second yesterday but at the last moment decided to give Clarke a chance. Jones' steal of second was about as nifty piece of work as has been seen on the diamond this year. All the boys had their batting eyes peeled yesterday and Clark, Moves and Crook were the only ones who failed to register. All of them hit the ball but some opposing player thoughtless- 1. ly got in the way and cut off the chances for safety.
 Swander boosted his batting average yesterday when he hit for 1000. He is always a dangerous man with the stick

 Outfielder Edmonson. last year with Waterbury, who was farmed out this spring by the New Orleans, Southern association club to the Beaumont club of the Texas League, is to be recalled. He has been getting along we'll thus far and the Pelicans are to give him a more thorough trial in 1915.

With a monopoly in cotton produc-

tically all that II has earned in its
business. Buying on credit is similar
to borrowing money from a loan

beautiful crop when II is framed with
a homespun living. But cotton alone
is equivalent to debt and interest and
insufficiency. It has always been so.
II will always be so. Next year will
see the cheapest grown cotton crop
