Roger Bresnahan will have COM
pany in protesting the game which
Pittsburgh took from the Cubs yes
terday in the fOrepart of a double
header. RUbe Benton pitched for the
Pirates, having been recently pur-
chased from the Reds. Manager Nc
Graw of the Giants claims he had a
prior claim on Benton, and President
Tener of the league has issued an Or
der prohibiting the Pirates using him
until the matter was Strengthened out.
Little things like orders didn't wor-
ry either Manager Clarke or Rube.
The former sent the latter to the hill
and the southpaw was a lovely puz-
zle, stopping the Cubs with six hits
and driving in the winning run with
his own bat.

the Cubs looked somewhat better
than in recent engagements and

afternoon to Manager Bresnahan was
the pitching of George label in the
second game. For the first time in
two months the young chemist
pitched nine innings of real baseball,
issuing only three passes and allow
ing eight hits. He was hit hard in a

playing and the pace the Red Sox I
have been setting in recent engage
ments. In batting and fielding the
edge favors the Red SOX, and even in
pitching, which has for years been
the forte of the local crew.
/ Carrigan has Wood, Shore, Ruth,
Foster and Leonard, all capable, and
all more than likely to win a ball
game any time they step into the box.
Wood, Ruth and Shore have been
pitching remarkable ball and limiting
their opponents to two runs or less.
This will win nine times out of ten,
for the Red SOx are a Tun-making
crew, even against the pitching of
the White SOX
And the White Sox pitching has
been only average in the last couple
of weeks. Scott, Faber and Russell
haven't been any better than a whole
flock of pitchers in the American
league. Joe Benz is the best in the
lot and he will get some help from
Eddie CicOtte toward the end of the
week. But by that time the Red Sox
will be gone away from here.
Ray Schalk has sworn to go back
to duty this afternoon, despite the
orders of his physician. Ray has the
interest of his team at heart. He isn't
an egOtist when he knows that he is
invaluable to the club, both mechan-
icaIly and from the standpoint of pep

that has been DrOVen daV after dav

NEW YORK. July 27-Since Old

insanity and its various ramificattons
everybody is wondering who is looney
now. In fact life's lunacies seem 70
be the sole topic of conversation:

probably is not, one wag wonders II

ON THE MOUNTAIN ROAD

For hours the trail was up and up
over level after level of the unending
lava. Glimpses Of the snow-crowned
peak led one to believe that it was not
far distant. Then perhaps after an
other hour of climbing up from one
level to another apparently the top
was farther away than ever. And the
long detour around the impossible
places grew wearisOme in the ex-
treme.
The party was under the guidance
of the Gaspars, who have in the past
so successfully piloted large and small
parties to the top.
Doctor Baker and Mr.. Bowdish both
feel that the chances run during an
ascent in the winter months amount
to great hazard because of the vast
miles Of unbroken lava which mist
or storm would render terra incognita
and the constant danger Of falling into
holes or of breaking through the crust
contingencies which could not be
guarded against. AS 1t was, Mr.. Bow
dish's mule twice broke through, once
causing him to be thrown off.

1.-THE ADVENTURE OF LIFE"
AIeqory Showing That Even in Its
Precariousness Sweetness ls
Found.

There is an old and strange eastern
allegory of man wandering in the
desert; he draws near to grove OF
trees, when he suddenly becomes
aware that there is lion on his track,
hurrying and bounding along on the
scent of his steps. The man fees for
safety into the grove; he sees there
a roughly built water tank of stone,
excavated in the ground, and built up
Of masonry much fringed with plants
He climbs swiftly down to where he
sees a ledge close on the water; as
he does this, he sees that in the wa
ter lies a great lizard, with open jaws,
watching him with wicked eyes. He
stops short, and he can just support
himself among the stones by holding
on to the branches of plant which
grows from a ledge above him. While
he thus holds on, with death behind
him and before, he feels the branches
quivering, and sees above, out OF
reach, two mice, one black and one
white, which are nibbling at the stems
he holds and will soon sever them. He
waits despairingly. and while he does
so he sees that there are drops OF
honey on the leaves which he holds;
he puts his lips to them, ticks them
off and finds them very sweet, Arthur
C. Benson writes in the Century
The mice stand, no doubt, for night
and day, and the honey Is the sweet
ness of life, which 1t is possible tt
