BASEBALL IS SLOWER
THIS YEAR THAN AT
ANY TIME IN PAST
NATIONAL GAME Is TAXING 4
SLUMP ACCORDING TO
JOHN INGRAM.
Gives Reason Why the Cubs Ever
STAYED ON Top as Long as They Did
On the Other Hand There Are
Indications To show That McGraw
May hc Wrong in Contention.

BY GEORGE R. HOLMES,
Omitted Press staff Correspondent
NEW YORK. Aug. SIS the ma
tional game slower from PLAYING
standpoint this year than in former
years?
John McGraw swears it is, So do
a lot Of other veteran baseball men.
The only reason the Cubs ever
stayed on top as long as they did is
because the National League is play
ing the rottenest ball it has played in
a decade" opines Jawn And the
same goes for the Phils"
Some caustic individual may come
back with the assertion that Mr.. Nc
Graw is prejudiced, inasmuch as his
Giants have loitered around the sec
ond division and the cellar most Of
the season. They cannot, however,
say the same regarding such utter
ances by other persons long connect
ed with the game, who, in support Of
their contention, cite the many pitch
ing come-backs of this season.
OF these probably the most glaring
is that Of Jack Coombs. The iron
man was considered through for two
years When Connie Mack unloaded
him on Charley Ebbets at the start
of the present season, the wise ones
gave Ebbets the laugh Those guf-
flaws now are strangely stilled. The
veteran has been chucking one of the
best brands Of baseball seen this sea-
son.
Nap Rucker is another example
The famous old side-wheeler has kept
Brooklyn on the baseball map almost
single-handed for decade. Last
Year he slipped and the wise ones be-
gan printing obituary notices. He has
oeen fairly successful this season.
Ed Walsh is still another. 1t has
been several seasons the Supreme
Chancellor of all finger held the
enemy TO six blows and won his game.
hands down Yet he went out against
the Athletics not long since and did
that very thing. and the twenty-five
odd thousand fans who saw him put
1t over went home convinced that the
Big Moose was right again. George
Chalmers of the Phillies is also cited.
The debators point to a whole raft
Of hatters in support Of their theory.
The most prominent of these is Chief
Meyers, McGraw's veteran Indian
maskman. The Chief finished last
season with slugging average Of
.2s6 He's done, chirped the dope
sters. Since June the Indian has
been slugging the ball at a rate Of
1868, although his seasons average is
a good bit below that, due to poor
work at the start of the season.
Fred Merkle and Larry Doyle occu-
py similar positions. Mergle quit
playing in 1914 with a .25S mark. and
DOYLE but two points above him. They
are now hitting the ball at a clip
above $40 and are crowding Jake
Daubert close for the leadership of
the league Art Fletcher is another.
There are a lot of 'em.
Whether these facts indicate that
the game is slower or not the affirm
ative debaters have powerful argu-
ment.

KEEPc DRAIN PIPES CLEAN
Arrangement That May Be Of Home
Construction Has Been
Recommended.

A device for the kitchen sink that
has proved successful in keeping the
drain pipes clean is made of a wooden
frame and ordinary window screen.
Make wooden frame, about two
inches high, just wide enough to fit
nicely into the sink, and not quite as
long as the inside of the sink. On
one end Of this nail a board, covering
about half the length Of the frame:
on the other end, on the opposite side,
nail a piece of wire window screen.
This device may be kept in the sink
always, the dishpan set on the wooden
part, and anything poured on the other
part will be strained before reaching
the pipes. This may be easily cleaned.
and the wire screening renewed at
small expense, when worn through.
It is better than the ordinary sink
strainer, as it covers the bottom of
the sink, and catches everything
thrown into it.-Holland's Magazine.
