Vienna, Nov. 20.---Goritz is burn
ing at many points. Three thousand
shells. hurled by the Italian batteries
without let up, piled many houses in
to ruins, set serious fires throughout
the city and killed many inhabitants.
The damage is enormous.
From a military standpoint the
bombardmenta accomplished little. The
Austrians still hold their original
positions and have repulsed enemy
attacks. The Increased intensity Of
the Goritz struggle is Incidental to
q general assault on the Isonzo line.

own at every point.
The Goritz bridgehead has become
the center Of the italian attack. Guns
OF every caliber are shelling II.

There is one thing professional
baseball player values more highly
than he does his batting average and
that Is his favorite bat.
Ty Cobb, for instance. When he
leaves the bench he picks up three
bats, his own, which is slender, light
in the handle, and "toothpick" up to
the very spot he wants the ball to hit;
DOME. Bush's long, light, thin bat, for
luck" and Sam Crawford's formidable
war club, for luck and weight.
He grips these three bats In his In.
tertwined fingers and swings them
back and forth. He throws Crawtord's
bat back toward the bench, swings
two bats, throws Bush's bat back and
runs to the plate swinging his own.
The ball player theory OF swinging
three bats is that after three have
been swung one will feel lighter.
At bat Cobb grips his thin, Light
club firmly with his right hand and In.
stantly. slides his left hand up and
down the bat until it grips two inches
above the right hand.
He uses exactly the grip In batting
a baseball that Baird does In gripping
a, golf club, and beyond doubt his
follow through" Is what adds to the
driving power Of the great golfers.
Frank Chance had a lot of peculiar
habits. He would stop outside the
batter's box. lean his bat against him
self, adjust his cap tightly upon his
head, Jerk his belt, hitch up his trou'
sers. pull his cap again, step into posi-:
tton, hitch his trousers, beat the end
OF his bat three times upon the plate,
and then he was ready.
There is quite as much superstition
among modern ball players as among
the old.timers. I remember Pietro
Gladiator Browning, the greatest Of
them all in his day, who had to have
aicertain kind Of chewing tobacco.
There was big Roger Connor, who
used to take his bats to bed with him.
and after oiling and rubbing them
down for the night would hang them,
out the window. I,

Published In London Today.

London, Aug. 1.-The recent diplo- matic correspondence between Lon- don and Washington concerning de- lays to American commerce and Great Britain's orders in council was pub lished here this morning. The foreign office explains that all phases of the controversy between the United States and Great Britain, except with regard to cotton, are covered in the British notes and that when a decision is ar- rived at on the cotton situation, it is probable that a note on this subject will be sent to Washington.
 No question at the present time is giving the government here more vex- atious moments than cotton. The gov- ernment already has indicated that it's decision not to treat the staple as contraband is not irrevocable, but it is not yet convinced that the pro- posed alternatives might not cause more trouble and friction than the present system of detaining cotton whic his suspected of having an enemy country for it's destination.
 The correspondence concerning the seizure of the American steamer Neches while bound from Rotterdam to the United States with a cargo of Belgian and German goods already has been followed by positive results, as several of the consignments orig mating in Belgium which were aboard that steamer have been re- leased and handed over to the Amer ican claimants.

Over this put layer of manure well

KEEPING UP THE LAWN

Don't NOV the lawn too closely
during the heated term; but do not
allow weeds to go to seed.
Deep working, thorough pulyeriza-
tion, effective fertilization and q
thorough raking and rolling down to
smooth level are all necessary to q
smooth, level lawn.
Get your lawn seeds OF reliable
scotsman, and ask for the best and
the freshest. Don't use old seed left
over from last year, but insist on hav.
ing 1t fresh, and of good mixture.
The best time to seed lawn Is
during the latter part of August or
the early part of September. At that
season, the heat is over and showers
are almost sure to come, and the
young grass will have several months
Of cool, moist weather in which to
grow before winter.
