was on first, with Sours of the same
team at bat Sours gave the hit-and-
run signal and Wetzell started down
for second base as soon as the pitcher
began to wind up. Sours hit long
f1y. Just as he reached second base
Wetzell thought he saw Hill, Water
loo's left fielder, reaching up to catch
the ball.
Without waiting to see whether the
fielder made the catch. Wetzeil raced
hack to first base Meantime the ball
had SCARED high over Hills head, and
Sours turned first base and raced for
second. Wetzell passed him at full
speed, going in the opposite direction.
When Sours reached second, he
thought that he had made mistake
about seeing the ball fall safe, and
started back to first. simultaneously
Wetzell saw Hill chasing the sphere,
and he again began the dash for sec
ond, and once more both players
passed each other on the dead run,
both badly confused. The result was
that hit that should have been good
for triple and score went for a
single.

showing of Mike Gibbons when he
tangled with Packey Mcfarland In
their s32,500 tangoing bee at Brighton
Saturday night were unloaded upon
Chicagos' fight fans when the st Paul
phantom breezed into town Monday
en- route to his home in the north
west. Mike, while admitting he was
in no condition to ,make his best fight
declared he was "outstaged" by the
Joliet brewer.
The weight, lat pounds at O'Clock,
weakened me-" said Michael, and he
didn't spill that line of chatter in ap-
proved box fighters alibi style. That
notch was just three pounds too fine.
Then. too, took the milling too serl-
ously, while McFralnad kept smiling
and always giving the impression that
the whole affair was merely a days
work
Il cannot understand why Packey
was given the decision by some of the
critics, for if ever won a fight GER
tainly defeated Mcfarland. Never
once during the bout did he hit me
with a closed glove and never once
did he sting me-and this despite my
weakened condition.

FOLIAGE OF THE SEASONS
Magnificent Color Maturity That
Comes With the Advance OF
the Months.

The foliage of summer is generally
mature, green, sober. There is q
certain warmth and gayety about the
leaf progress Of June and early July,
and vast variety in shades, as well.
SO that any body of trees and shrubs
of varying kinds will display any
thing from the Youngest light yellow
leaves of the Norway naples to the
deep, even green of the horse chest
nut. Toward the first of August the
leaves are quite or nearly full grown,
and they have settled down to their
real work of celebrating food for the
trees that bear them.
My water color friend, Little, has
discovered in this color maturity an
other confirmation of his theory that
there is sort Of color compensation

Countryside Magazine. In spring

the leaves and flowers are warm il
hue-there are the really hot colors
Of the tulips, the yellows of some tree
blossoms, and so on. AS the season
warns, the foliage and flower hues
become in general cooler, until in
summer we have the deep green Of
mature leaves, the deep blue Of the
white dotted sky and the blues and
whites of the garden. When cooler
nights begin to come the summer TO-
liage is likely to assume hints of
brown, the corn takes on the colors
of maturity, and we have the deci-
dedly warm-hued chrysanthemums.

pensate. The sharp weather of win
ter demands all possible heat from
natures color scheme, and we have
it in the Drowned leaf, following the
brilliant and not cool hues of au-
tumn, in the corn shock and the bare
tree stem, and even in the shadows
on the snow.

MANY DYES AT OUR SERVICE
Cutting of of European Supply Need
Not Cripple the Country, Is the
Assertion Made.

Now that the supply of coal-tar
dyes from Europe has been cut off,

we return to the dyes that were used
before coal-tar colors were invented.
These were derived from bark, roots,
wood and the juices OF plants. The
Hardwood Record gives list of the
most important native plants that
were so used and that are still open
TO us.
The yellow oak supplies fine yell
low dye called quercitron, found in a
thin layer under the outer bark.
The butternut gives brown with
which the famous Confederate
leans" were dyed.
The outer hulls of the nuts of the
black walnut furnish a dark brown.
The roots, bark and wood of the
Usage orange produce fine yellow.
Other yellows can be made from the
yellow wood, mesquit and staghorr
sumac.
The Indians used alder wood for
making a reddish dye.
By boiling the finely Clipped
heartwood of the bluewood black
dye is produced in the valley of the
Rio Grande.
The brilliant red with which the
Indians tinted their eagle feathers
and buckskin garments was made
from dogwood.
Red gum and locust wood were
used also by the pioneers in America,
and the vivid yellow of Chinese silks
is made from a tree similar to the
locust.
