FEDS WILL TRY OUT
 1O-CENT BASEBALL

New York, August 6-President James A. Gilmore of the Federal league an nounced tonight that the Federal league would try out 1O-cent major league base ball in Newark instead of 15-cent base ball, as has been reported.
 We have considered the 10-cent prop csition for sometime" said MT. Gilmore tonight and intend to try 1t out in Newark. On the success made there our future plans in this direction will en- tirely depend. Business just now is bad in Newark and We recently have re- ceived letters from fans there saying they would like to patronize our team but could not afford to pay the prices asked. In order that everybody may at- tend we have reduced all the bleacher seats to 10 cents.'
 Commencing on the proposed new raid on organized baseball, MT. Gilmore said that 1t was strictly in self defense.
 ''As there is no telling when Judge Landis will make known his decision" he said i've are forced to go after play CTS now, so as not to be left in a hole. i"

 But for too enthusiastic coaching on the part of Charlie Chaplin Johnson who erred when ne believed Danny Clarks triple in the eighth a homer the story might have had a different ending.
 Col Bob Hedges. president of the St Louis Browns, with Joe Hudgen, Brown ivory chaser, saw the game from the stand.
 Danny Clark, first man up in the eighth inning, connected with a fast one, sending it screaming over BoL Messengers head to the right center field barrier. Johnson, on the third base line. sent Clark to the plate. It looked as if the Baron had time, but Messen- gers peg to Covington. relayed to Gibson, caught him in a wild slide With three chances to bring Clark in coming up. Johnson's play was to hold Clark at third.
 Robertson had the edge on Finchel in the duel until the seventh. Not q Traveller had reached second. Just IS of them had faced him. Starr and Mur- ray got hits and died at second, the first in q snappy double play and the second in an attempted steal. But Starr :n the seventh lined a single over Mickey Coyle's head He took second when Lindsay threw out Messenger.
 After two strikes were counted against Baker he drove to center and Starr counted.
 The Barons missed chances to score in the first, fifth and eighth. Sloan singled at the start and was showed to second when Coyle dumped a neat bunt and was out at first, but Lind say drove to Murray, who caught Sloan with a large lead and easily threw him out at second
 Coombs was nicked on the arm with E pitched ball in the fifth. Magee sac rificed him to second and he took third when Clark buzzed grounder at Covington and was called out at first on close play. Covington to Fin cher. Ellam famed, stranding Coombs.

FRED'S COMMENT
 ON THE AMATEURS

West Woodlawn boys won an easy game Wednesday from the East Lake Gran berries" The features of the game were the hitting of Byers and pitching of Cox for the Woodlawn boys. This is the eleventh straight win for the Woodawn team.
 The Recreation league held a special meeting Thursday night at the city hall and adopted a new schedule for the re- mainder of the season.
 
 The Policemen were defeated by the Boyles team Thursday, the score being 6 to 3. The features of the game was the hitting of Rietta.
 The Blach team defeated Goldstein Bros. of the Commercial league Thursday. The feature of the game was the hitting of Goldstein's team and the fielding of Blach's.
 Lewis Crump. an outfielder for Viva, is hitting over the 300 mark this season. Lewis is also doing fine fielding work.
 Richardson, the sptball artist for the Policemen. is pitching good ball. Rich" played classy ball last year in Missis- sippi.
 The boys around at Blachs are still holding down top place in the Conner cial league.
 Grady Giles. who signed up with Viva at the first of the sea son, is out of the game on account of a sprained ankle. He will probably be out of the battle the remainder of the season.
 The Strickland-Green boys were defeat ed again Thursday, this time by the Guar antee Shoe company. The furniture boys are having hard luck this season. Better get some new material, old chap.

GUDGER'S FAILURE TOUCHES FOR SCFIMIDTS
 JUDGEMENT IN TRADING HIM FOR FLICK

while Dobbs has nothing to show for the deal.
 The Gudger- Flick trade is not the first error Johnny Dobbs has made this sea- off some of the most effective players in the circuit this season, and it Is hard to see just how he has managed to keep his club so well up in the fight In spite of his bad judgment. Rube Kissinger, it will be remembered, was cut loose from the Pelicans and has been hurling great ball ever since. Mickie Coyle was another good man who was not good enough for the Pelican club, but Is mak- ing the Barons great infielder and Is hitting in fine style. Jack Frost is an- other good hurler whose ability Dobbs was unable to see. In the meantime Dobbs secured the celebrity Elmer Brown,

 Pelican boss has shifted his club con tinually in an effort to strengthen it, but at the present time the Pels are in as dangerous a position as they have been
 since the race got under way. The Peli- cans got away at the start with one of the best clubs in the south and have been playing good ball despite the pain ful dickerings and changes of Manager
 Dobbs, but one or two more Gudger- Flicn
 deals is going to put them out of the
 running.

The acquisition of Callan to aid Bob tion for Johnny Dobbs has resulted in the passing of Big Jim Gudger, the Pelican spitballer. Gudger goes to Galveston in the Texas league.
 The failure of Gudger to deliver as a Pelican beaver vouches for the baseball judgment of Manager Schmidt of the Mobile club, who traded Gudger to New Orleans for Carl Flick. At the time when the deal was closed critics around the circuit were of the opinion that Dobbs had slipped something over and had greatly strengthened his club for the pen nant fight. Schmidt, however, refused to see things that way and now the Gull manager has a steady second sacker

come confused in the press dispatches
with other Mexican drinks which are
of more evil potency. There should
be no inclination to give pulque clean

charge of being so fierce and fiery as
II has been represented. Pulque, which
is the drink of the lower and middle
classes all over the great plains of
Mexico, is about as intoxicating as
light beer.
When the sap of the maguey, or the
species OF maguey selected. is hrst col

the Mexicans call IL aqua MEL" or
honey water" This sap is allowed to
ferment and by the fermentation proc
very much the color Of buttermilk and

The sap, which when fermented be-
comes pulque. flows from the green
