How Smoke injures Live Stock.

Recent investigations at Leeds uni versity show that smoky atmosphero retards the growth of cattle and horses and makes them require much more care and food than those which live where the air is pure. This effect is due partly to the effect of the viti- ated air on the lungs and partly to the very poor quality of the grass in smoky places. sheep raising has been abandoned in the vicin.ty of Leeds the great English manufacturing cen ter, because the smoke made the woo of such poor quality and filled it with so many impurities.

The goose bone says that the winter will be mild. The slime on the fish is not so heavy this year and the corn husks are thin which means mild weather. On the other hand the beavers have built their dams extra heavy and this means that win- ter will beavery dam cold one. Louisiana Press Joural.

To lovers of Nature.

It Is better for all nature-lovers to protect everything possible in either plant or animal life. We have laws protecting both, and one is now pro- posed, whereby the, wild pigeon and our Is species of wild ducks are to be protected by preventing their sale on the markets. This will not at all interfere with the true sportsman, but merely put veto on the conner cial pot hunter. The ducks are great devt arers of snail. slugs. and worms, and pigeons subsist largely on seeds of weods.-Los Angeles Times.

Trading" Is Not Giving.

''Is it not pitiable condition that, in many of our modern homes, children have no concep- tion of the true meaning of Christmas? We find the little girls and boys in school putting Christmas-giving on a commer- cial basis s- trading" presents with their school mates.
 ''The true spirit of Christmas giving should be revived. Teach your children that there is greater joy in giving than in receiving and that we commem- crate the Twenty-ffth day of December because of the Great Gift made to the world nearly two thousand years ago. 7"
 This is the Christmas message which Miss Babe Bell, woman's lecturer for the State Board of Agriculture, is sending out to home Makers Clubs throughout the state. She urges that moth CTS teach their children to give only such articles as they them selves would wish to receive, that the gifts be useful as we'll as attractive, that the children choose as recipients those from whom they are not expecting returns.

BUSH LEAGUE CAME
 IS WON BY GIANTS
Not Much Baseball bul Lots Of
 Talk and BIuSter.

New York. Aug. s.-The Giants sheared the Cubs at the Polo Grounds yesterday in a game which varied from .mottled to lurid The score was to 4, and slouchy pitching con- tributed good deal to the scoring. That's where the mottled and lurid condition came in mostly--in the pitching. F'romme and Tesreau of the Giants did comparatively well, Tesreau having effective speed after getting himself in the quicksands by wildness. Pierce of the Cubs lost his grip after a stretch of excellent work, and Babel, who reigned one in- ming, gave a loose and shaky admin istraton.
 Two long disputes with the umpires not only consumed a lot of time but had the spectators mystified as to what they were about. The disputes were not vicious, rather tiresome and foolish, with players trotting back and forth from one umpire to another and pes tering the officials to see things their way. The Giants promoted one of these wrangles and the Cubs the , other, and in each case there was much ado from a trifing source.

Napoleon Lajoie has gone to the bench For the first time in eighteen years the great French batsman has slipped below .250 and has drifted from the field as regular to the reserves. Lajoie, off the field now, means that the greatest hitter in all baseball is on the bench. Larry the larruper hasn't batter 300 as many seasons as Wagner. He has slipped below the 300 mark twice in seven teen years. But the Nap star has compiled the greatest average ever known over an eighteen year stretch "a greater average than Wagner,

Anson or any of the old guard was able to hang up. Anson's batting average for his complete length of service was .337. Wagners up to 1914 was .344. Lajoie's for eighteen years was .351 Including 1914, Wagner's grand average is .341 and Lajoie's .34S. Cobb is well beyond them both, but Tyrus Raymond has only served half the time established by the renowned Frenchman and the equally renowned German. Cobb has grand nine year average of .37l. but what the next nine years will show is another matter

Brooklyn, Aug. S.-Pat Ragan. aided by few of the Dodgers, shut out the Cardinals at Ebbets field, score 3 to O. Ragan pitched very clever ball. He was up in front of a somewhat disa ranged crew as a result of last Saturdays casualties. Wheat was still nursing his charley horse, while Red Smith contracted some sort of ailment over Sunday that eliminated him.

Philadelphia Hopes to
Land Army-Navy Game
ShecinI 10 The Telerrnhh

Annapolis. Aug. 1S.-There was
general surprise at the Naval Acad-
emy yesterday over official announce
ment that the Army-Navy football
game could not be played in Washing
ton this year. 1t was thought that the
national capital had been definitely
selected, but it is said that the only
procurable grounds were those belong
ing to the federal government, and
that the use of them was coupled with
such conditions as to be out of the
question. 1t is also understood that
the ten year agreement between repre-
sentatives of the services was contin-
gent upon securing grounds in Wash
ington, for the game in alternate years
and that negotiations will have to be
taken up again, possibility being that
the game will not be played at all.
The choice for the location of the
big service game will probably lie
metropolis as the seat of all the games,
between New York and Philadelphia.
The army will make a fight for the
but the navy is opposed to this. 1t
would probably choose Baltimore, if
a field with the necessary seating ca
pacity could be secured, and as a sec
ond choice would name Philadelphia.
AS the matter stands it is exactly as it
was just after the last game between
the elevens of the service schools.

SENATORS WIN IN
SENSATIONAL PLAY
Take Two Games in Record Time !;
Whalen Big Star; Clean
Hits a Feature
By "UNIP"

Baseball history was recorded at
Island Park yesterday. Harrisburg
took two games from Wilmington,
scores s to ! and 3 to o. This hap
pened while Allentown was losing to
Trenton. Cockills crew now has a
five-game lead on the Teutons.
Blue Monday was a sensational day.
The double-header was witnessed by
1900 people, and few spectators left
before the battles ended. Joe Cha
bek won the first game, hanging up
his twenty-fourth victory for the sea-
son. The one big star of the day
was Red" Whalen. His work at
short in the first game was wonder
ful. Stunts that the boy pulled off
would have made him a certain prize
for some major league team had
there been a scout on the grounds.
In the two games, Whalen had
eighteen chances without a miscue.
He pulled off a hair-raising double
play unassisted, jumped four feet into
the air and pulled down a line drive
from Browns bat that was labeled
for three bases. But that was not all,
In the eighth inning he signaled that
be was going to steal home. Whalen
lost the credit for the steal, but with
Mccarthy, scored one of the greatest
squeeze plays ever seen. Just at the
time Whalen was sliding into home
plate, Mccarthy tapped the ball and
beat it out to first base.
Other Stars in Game
The hitting of Cruikshank, Crist and
Mccarthy was a big factor. Swallow,
who was on the mound for the
Chicks, smiled every time a hit was
made. The bingles were all clean
cut. The second game was a battle
between John Fox and Young Robin
son, the Wilmington High School boy
Fox was strong in pinches Emerson
made his record drive in this game
and was the most valuable man in
scoring the runs.
In the first game Wilmington scored
one run in the ninth on Swallows
single, an out at first and Brown S
double. Three singles in succession
with a sacrifice gave Harrisburg two
runs in the first. Cruikshanks S triple
with two passes, three singles and a
sacrifice added four in the second.
Crisis double, an out from short to
first and Miller's sacrifice fly, drew one
in the fourth, and the eighth came
in the seventh on three singles,
stolen base, error by Schollenberger
and the squeeze play.
In the second game Whalen's pass
his stolen base and Emerson's single
brought one run in the second. Mil
ler's single, Whalen's forced hit and
Emerson's homer made it two in the
fourth. The scores:
