SPEED IN BASEBALL

Although the Atlanta Mobile game played in Atlanta in 1910, lasting thirty-two minutes, constitutes a rec ford for full nine inning contest that will probably never be equalled, there have been several other notable exam pies of speed in playing. The double header, record was set up just eleven years ago on July 30, 1905, when Los Angeles and Oakland hustled though with two games in 1 hour and 3s 1-2 minutes, the first game lasting AT 1-2 minutes and the second 51 minutes.
 While the fans have no general de- sire to see these records emulated, it is useful to recall them in showing what can be accomplished. In the majors and in most of the minors this year there have been numerous games which dragged out interminably sim ply because the players made not the slightest effort to hustle matters MT. Average Fan would doubtless object to very brief games as customary diet, as not giving him the worth of his money, but he is inclined to think that a nine inning pastime which goes much over an hour and a half is "2 hutch" A listless, dragging game, or one in which the players spend much time in squabbling, is an abom- ination. When it comes to eating up time, however, a pitcher can be the champion gormand-and not only can be, but lot of them are.

YUAN SHIKAPS
 L|FEtNFLUENCED
 BY S00THSAYERS
Fortune Tellers' Prediction Outlook Gloomy for Chi
 nese President. !

Peking, July 29. - Expectations played an important paft in the life of Yuan Shi-kai, and even influenced his last hours. Like most Chinese of the old school Yuan Shi-kai constantly sought fortune tellers and astrologists. Many years ago he was told by for tune teller that he would die when he was about fifty-eight years old. This gloomy forecast had a decided effect upon the late president. The men of his family had all been comparatively short-lived. His father, his grand father, his uncles and older brothers did not attain, the age of sixty. Con sequently Yuan Shi-kai believed his span of life would be similarly limited. and was strengthened in his belief by the fortune 'teller's statement.
 Men who were. close to- Yuan Shi- kai when he was planning the monar- chical movement were aware that his haste to ascend the throne was prompt ed by the belief that his days were few.
 Yuan Shi-kai believed thoroughly in charms of various sorts, and was con- stantly calling upon. Chinese doctors who used mediaeva1 methods. He frequently gave ginseng to officials and friends who Were i'll. He strove con- stantly to retain his youth by taking |tonics of Hon bone and ground deer horns, which are believed by super stitfous Chinese to have great medicin- al value.

LOSS OF LIMB
 NOW DOES NOT
 INSURE DEATH
Modern Surgery Saves Many
 War Victims From Pur- ulent Infection.

Paris, July 29.-One- e-armed and one- legged men are now so common as to raise a question as to why they are so numerous.
 Dr. Auguste Broca, while admitting that the changed conditions of war fare and the scale of the operations must necessarily multiply the number of amp,itated limbs, claims that con- siderable part of the increase in the proportion os survivors who lack a member is due to the progress of sur- sery stnce the war of 1870; in that conflict nearly all the amputated men died of purulent infection; in this war, thanks to progress in medical science, they are nearly all saved, he says.
 In consequence, the demands upon manufacturers of artificial limbs are out of all proportion to anticipations. Dr. Broca considers that the construc- tors of artificial substitutes for mem bers or parts of members have also made great progress. Before the war really efficient artificial member was an object of luxury; under the stress of circumstances, manufacturers have to a great extent obliterated the dis tinction between the rich mans and the poor mans apparatus. Not that there has been any modification in prices; none of the efficient models are cheap. American systems are much in favor but are not universally applica- ble because they do not adapt them selves to the transitory, period in which an amputated member must adapt it. self somewhat to the apparatus.
