Tying Score in Ninth

BY 7. ED GRILLO.

The Griffmen made it FIVE out
of six from the Yankees yester-
day, but it was not an easy task.
the visitors tying the score in the
ninth and the locals winning it in
their half of the final inning. The
final score was 4 to 3.
Boehling pitched until he had
the bases full in the ninth and
none out. He walked the first
man to face him and then allow
ed Nunamaker and Maisel to
make singles. Here Boeh1ing
was yanked and Gallia substi-
tuted, but before he could retire
the side two runs had scored and
the score was tied.
But alrs we'll that ends well, and
that's the way this game ended. John
Henry, the first man up, was hit by
to second, and when Bauman fumbled
Gallia's grounder to second Henry
went to third. Moeller, a faster man,
took his place. Williams was sent to
bat for Acosta, and his single to right
brought Moel1er home with the win
ming run.
Boehling Has Nervous Day.
Boehling had one of his nervous days.
With two exceptions he was in a
hole in every inning. but brilliant sup
port saved him on these occasions. The
NATIONALS fell on Brown in the opening
inning, when they scored two runs,
overcoming a tally which the visitors
had scored in their half, and they
scored again in the fifth, making their
total three.
This was the situation when Boehling
went into the ninth. He walked Boone
to start with, and Nunamaker singled
to center. Maisel batted for Brown,
and he drove hit through -Shahks:

center, which Milan managed to reach.

Yankees Tie the Score.
Boone scored on this hit, and when
Bauman forced Maisel at third on his
home with the tying run. Miller. how
ever, hit to Gallia, and was out at first.
A hit by Bauman in the first, with
two out and his steal and Pipp's double
to right center, gave the Yankees their
first run in the opening inning.
The Griffmen were not long getting
under way. however. The first two were
out when Milan got swinging bunt
which he beat out He stole second,
and then Shanks walked Gandil came
through with a double, sending both
runners home, but was himself nailed

In the fifth, with two out, Milan got

Course Was Slower.

The course was much slower than
yesterday when the sun blazed on
greens that were dry as finder. Fog
settled down overnight and showers
swept the links Internationally until
noon. The fnalists began morning
play in the rain which was considered
responsible for the small gallery.
Gardeners poor putting marked the
play for the first nine and the match
was square at the turn. Coming in,
Anderson took the twelfth and four
teenth in par. but his lead was cut to
1 up when he was short at the
eighteenth. and Gardner sank his

Each man started out poorly before
large gallery after lunch, and halved

the Yale man 4-5, and the match was
square. Gardner took the lead when
his second reached the twenty-first
green and Anderson's approach hit
trap. When the former sank his putt

BRITAINS SCHOOLS FURNISH THOUSANDS OF OFFICERS

never ever had heard, provides means of giving military training to every boy over the age of 14 at every big English public school and to every university graduate, and as such it represents about the extent to which the youth of this country had, up to the present time, received instruction of any kind in the use of arms or in any branch of the art of war. In most of the smaller boarding schools, it is true, rifle brigades always have exist ed and have been useful so far as they have gone in instilling ideas of discipline and providing elementary training, and there is of course, the renowned Boy Scouts movement, but in the so-called board schools, which correspond to our public school and which are attended by the great bulk of the rising generation Of Great Brit ain, Swedish drill is the nearest ap- proach to anything in tine nature of mil itary training.
 Probably at the end of the present war, and possibly long before that. should the struggle last longer than is expected, Great Britain will take pat tern by France. Germany and Russia and take definite steps to place it's schoolboys in military training, and, in the meantime the 70. r. C." is an illustration in being of the value of such military training in schools and universities as has been advocated by a large section of the press of the United States ever since the opening of the present sanguinary struggle of the nations.
 Boys are eligible for the officers training corps soon as they have turned 16, and, at most of the big schools. are placed "n pickle therefor for year previously by means of physi- cal drill.

Stray Dog Upsets School

From the Brooklyn Eagle.
 A small vagabond. mongrel dog, with white stripes on his back a short, stubby tail and a whimsically numerous face that made every one who looked at him laugh and pat him, followed one of the pupils of public school No. 126 into the building this morning and very nearly broke up school for the morning. Like Mary's famous little lamp, Tit made the children laugh and play" to zee the dog at school.
 1t was in Miss Kane's room on the second floor that the vagabond doggie had the time of his young life. The door suddenly opened and a student entered. Behind him trotted the canine vagabond wagsing his stubby tail and saying as plainly as a dog could. Hello folks, let's start something He began by taking playful nip at Miss Kane's heels that made the teacher do some lively sidestep- ping. This convulsed the class and Q roar went up.
 Thus encouraged the little dog made a dasn among some of the girl students and nipped. at a few more heels, provoking lively squeals and more sidestepping, the while the small boys encouraged dcggis to do his darndest." By this time ths whole schoolroom was in an uproar, and finally Miss Kane called George Pierson, nine years old, and Lester Hankinson, P years old, to capture the dog. After a lively chase. during which the whole class hoped that the dog would not be captured, he was cornered by the two small boys.
 The boys turned him over to the police of the Ralph avenue station, and he was Eeld on charge of disorderly conduct. There was no collar or brand of any kind on the canine offender to lead to his identity, and the fngerprint system was worthless. He was just plain dog.

possibilities in our foreign trade The Argentine stands about tenth among the countries of the world in the average pos sessions of it's inhabitants. Family per family it has a purchasing power far greater than that of Norway, Germany or France, and 10 times that of Turkey or Japan. Its per capita wealth Is 80 times that of the Chinese. The Argentine buys and sells more goods than any coun- try on this hemisphere outside the United States Its foreign commerce is ahead of that of China or Japan, and eleventh among all countries of the world. It al- ready amounts to about 1,000 coo, 600 per annum, and when good times come again 1t will increase by leaps and bounds. Buenos Aires is now the eighth port of the world in the amount of it's business. It stands ahead of Bremen, Calcutta, Bombay, Singapore and Sidney, and is surpassed only by New York, London. Hamburg, Liverpool, Antwerp, Marseilles and Havre.
 From this you will see that the country is alive and up to date l have before me some of the purchases made in 1913. In that year Argentina bought foreign goods to the amount of over $4Oo0,000 900,

 In France, upwards of 30J,000 schoolboys are under military guidance.

In Russia similar plans are under consideration.

 Meanwhile. at Eton, the 70. T. C." ab- sorbs nearly allethe energies, during rec reation time. of 600 members of the school. Thursday football has been given up for extra drill, skirmishings or elemen- tary maneuvers with regular troops or battalions from other schools One day Major Ware, son of the provost of Eton, gave a technical lecture on fighting in the trenches, and soon after 15 Eton- ians most of them, as like as not the heirs of dukes or earls) were discovered digging scientifically in the stiff and heavy soil of piece of waste land such a trench as the lecturer had described. It was the same spirit which quickly raised s330O for the national relief fund and collected from pocket money ina week nearly $500 to provide clothing, books and so forth for the Belgian boys housed by the mas ters.

The weekly drills. the marches, the field days and camps have produced at least the material out of which good officers are quickly made, men used to giving and obeying commands. to taking the field, even though in mimic war, and to using their wits in it. Last summer they went twice to camp-the hist time under conditions of peace. the second time under those of war The con- sequence Is that at Winchester, as at the other great public schools, the outbreak or war brought no need for the sudden creation of revival of some practical out let for the soldier spirit Nowadays. in fact, the school spends three days of the week in khaki and can plead putties as an excuse for being late in the morning.

Those enrolled are divided into Class A, who are pledged to be ready to take com missions at the end of or during the present term, and Class B, who are un- willing to take commissions till a later date. Every cadet has to attend all com pulsory parades and all the lectures ar- ranged for his class. Beside the grad- uates, moreover, many of the younger dons may be seen drilling in the park, and they. too, will ere long take their de- parture. Military training is the over whelmingly predominant athletic exer- else, and khaki is the only wear.
 'At the big public schools, particularly at Eton and Harrow, the identical spirit prevails, and, as the students at these academies are drawn from the so-called leisure classes and are, in many cases, of noble lirth, it is being remarked that, owing to the war, we shall have to recon- sder our views on the connection be- tween luxury and that greater danger, slaokness, just as, owing to the war, the British workingman. as the dean of Man. chester told Eton the other day, has re- considered his view of the upper classes"

country, and it jars them to see some of the public loans going to the United States. Argentina is rich in resources, but she has to have money from the out side. She is in about the same shape as we were 30 or 40 years ago, and she needs millions for public works of all kinds. Among the big things now under way are the plans for paving Buenos Aires and the improvement of the har- bor and docks and other port contracts. The city is now putting in subways 1t has already one of the best in the world, and it is constructing another of a length of over six miles. The plans for the latter were prepared by J. G. White S Co. There is much land improvement going on and there are irrigation and pumping scehmes which will require 2 great deal of capital. In the valley of the Rio Negro is an irrigation scheme that will redeem 300, 900 acres of desert, and there are other schemes for dyking and draining the lowlands alond the Parana river that require the expendi- ture of millions.
 Just now times are hard in Argen- tina. At the time the war began the country was suffering from a financial stringency, and there had been failure after failure. amounting to millions There was practically nothing doing at the stock exchange, and every one was complaining. The war made things worse, and thousands of men are now unemployed. There are 30,000 out of k1. .tt II conditions obtain in Rosario and in other places The government is doing what it can to give the unemployed work on the streets and roads, and sub scriptions are being made to an em- ployment fund to help the poor At the same time food prices are rising and meat has increased 60 per cent.
 And this brings me to the cost of doing business here in Argentina. This is not a cheap mans country. and no one with only a few hundred dollars should come here expecting to reap many thousands. In fact, ones expense account is higher in Argentina than in the United States, and the better class hotels are exceedingly costly. At the Plaza, which is one of the chief hotels of Buenos Aires, the lowest charge for a room without bath is s per day. and the lowest price for meals is s5 extra. If you want as luxurious quarters as the same sum would bring in New York, you will have to pay far more. and the extras are enormous. There are, how ever, number of good hotels where the charges are lower. I pay SIS a day at "The Grand" for myself and stenogra- pher, for accommodations that would cost me at least twice as much at the Plaza. We are on the American plan, and have two rooms and bath with eX- cellent beds and good cooking. For this sum we have a breakfast of coffee and rolls in our room, table d'hote lunch- con and an excellent table d'hote dinner. All sorts of wines and liquors are high, and my mineral water orders cost all most as much as the average wine charges of Berlin or Paris.
 The commercial traveller who expects to come to Argentina should bear in mind that he will have to have a license for selling and also that there is tariff to be considered to all importations.
 A different license is charged for each
