THE SECOND GAME.

For the final frolic Walter Johnson
drew as his opponent Johnny Majors,
who has been nesting beside a case of
malaria during the past two weeks.
Majors apparently has entirely recov-
cred from the malady, for all he allowed
our young men was three hits, but luck
lily two Of them were punched in the
fourth inning, with a lot of other wild
and woody stun, and enough runs splashed
over to insure a victory.
Walter johnson found himself in a
tight place in the very first inning when
with one down, Pick got to third and
Strunk to second through the medium of
single, walk. passed ball and a bad
peg by Catcher Ainsmith. Walter
quickly found himself. however, famed
Schans and forced Lajoie to foul to
Judge
The fourth was the big inning for the
home folk and little Eddie Foster started
the three-run parade by letting four bad
ones slip past, following this UP by steal
ing second. Milan beat out a bunt to
Majors. Once more Jameson thrust
himself into the center of the ring with
a nifty single to right field, scoring Fos-
ter and putting Milan on third base
Judge bounced the ball of LaJoie's shins
and luckily the pill rolled over to Witt
who managed to retire Judge at first
base, rohoins that young man of a per-
fectly good base hit. On this play Milan
scored and Jameson moved over to third
base. Nabors uncorked a wild pitch
which counted Jameson. Shanks and
Ainsmith were easy outs, retiring the
side.
Johnson was threatened in the first half
Of the fourth, when Strunk doubled to
center, but Schang forced Strunk at
third base and the other two batters were
easy picking.
Two Philadelphia hits were wasted in
the sixth because Lajoie. after a pair Of
his teammates had perished, was unable
to deliver a safe blow.
WyckoT was in the box when the Ma
tionals came to bat in the eighth, as Ma
lone had previously been sent UP as a
pinch hitter. Wyckoff didn't have a
thing" but managed to prevent a run,
although Foster reached him for a single
and Milan and Jameson walked.
The visitors averted a shut-out in the
final half of the ninth when Schang
walked, took second on an infeld out and
scored on Oldring's single. Score:

What the Federal Oath Means.

Gregory Mason, in The Outlook:
The process of enrolling the national
guard in the federal service seems to
have been misunderstood by good
many citizens. Under existing law at
the time the president called out the
militia it could be used by him only
in subduing rebellion or repelling in
vasion. Before any guardsman could
be sent into Mexico, supposing emer-
gencies should call for such action,
the president needed the specific
authority OF congress. This authori.
cation congress must give. In order
to be used in Mexico, however, each
guardsman must take the oath re-
quired under the new army reorgani-
cation law. No guardsman is forced
to take this oath, but those who de-
cline to take it cannot be used out
side of the United States. Each man
who does take it becomes automati-
cally a volunteer soldier in the United
States army for the term of three
years or for the duration of this
Mexican emergency, II that proves to
be less than three years. Thus far
few guardsmen have refused to take
the oath.

Daily Stock Letter,

NEW YORK, July 21.-The New
York Evening Sun financial review
today said: There were numerous
items in the overnight news develop
ments of marketwise influence on
special groups of stocks which served
to give impetus to the industrial
specialties the steel shares and the
international mercantile marine GER
tificates in today's stock market. The
reported closing of substantial shell
order to the Midvale Steel Co., from
France, the prospective record earn
ings of the United States Steel Cor
poration which will make public the
second quarterly report of the cur
rent year on Tuesday next, the denial
from London that the British govern
ment would increase the tax to sew
enty-five percent on shipping profits
and so on, were eagerly seized upon
by the professional element to push
forward the issues most susceptible
to the special influences referred to.
The feature of the early dealings
was the vigorous recovery Of mercan-
tile certificates which left it virtually
where it was, when reports came
from England of added tax on profits.
Standard roads made practically no
change and around midday the trad
ing was all but at a standstill.
There was some unsettlement within
narrow limits in the late trading, but
business was of the most perfunctory
character. Mexico Petroleum receded
a point or more from its stronger po-
sition of the forenoon. Steel held
closely at small fractional gains.
Rails were easier.

Some Don'ts to
Avoid the Heat
For . period OF nearly. a month Keo.

For period Of nearly . month Keo.
kuk has sweltered in midsummer
heat that has kept we'll above the 80
mark and at one time reached 100 de-
grees. Although cooler weather is
coming shortly, If the weather pre-
dictions come true, there are still
some hot days to be lived through be-
fore relief is here.
Here are some don'ts, which il
followed, the doctors say, will keep
the heat from bothering you:
Eat too much, and avoid heat-mak-
ing foods.
Eat winter meats.
Forget that this is the time to eat
the things that are growing now.
Eat a heavy meal just before going
to bed.
: Drink ice cold drinks.
Drink any beverage containing al
cohol; they all produce heat.
Wear any winter clothing.
Wear anything but thin underwear
and your lightest outer garments.
Sleep indoors If you can possibly
avoid it.
Fail to rise early to enjoy the cool
est part of the day.
Forget that this is the season to get
all the fresh air you possibly can.
Battle in cold water or in hot water;
tepid water is best.
Stay too long in beach bathing.
Forget that many so-called drown.
ings are really heart failures due to
the shock of the cold water.
Lose your temper.

CHICAGO, July q. Wheat
Spreading of black rust in the north
west, with serious infection reported
in North Dakota, strengthened both
our market and Minneapolis early in
the day. Buying became general by
midday, and when the market was
in a weak position technically, peace
rumors brought about scattered sell
ing. Crop reports from the north
west were probably the most bullish
to date. Domestic milling supplies
are light and new but is in excellent
demand because millers are having no
difficulty in disposing of their flour to
domestic and foreign consumers.
The reaction today is natural and
repetitions of the same condition are
likely to occur. On breaks, how
ever, the buying is warranted by the
general worlds condition.
Corn-Corn acted strong. There
seems no encouragement for the short
the new crop month has been under
too much pressure from short sellers.
Crop reports are generally favorable
although cetain sections of the
southwest need rain. An increase in
receipts is anticipated next week but
there are still a large number OF
July sales to be filled and little or
none of this corn will remain here ex-
cept for transfer.
Oats-Oats sympathized with corn
and wheat advanced only moderately.
The threshing returns from Iowa in
dictate a good yield of excellent quail
ity of oats. Spot oats are in good
demand and sales for the new crop
have so far been satisfactorily light.
The market appears oversold.

The Better Thing.
1t is better to lose with conscience
Than win by trick unfair;
It is better to fall and to know
you've been,
Whatever the prize was, square.
Than to claim the joy OF a far-off goal
And the cheers of the standers-by.
And to know down deep IN your in
most soul
"A cheat you must live and die.
VINO wins by trick may take the
prize,
And at first he may think it sweet,
But many day in the future lies
When he'll wish he had met defeat,
For the man who lost shall be glad
at heart
And walk with his head up high.
While his conqueror knows he must
play the part
OF q cheat and a living lie.
The prize seems fair when the fight
is on,
But save it is truly won
You will hate the thing when the
crowds are gone,
For it stands for false deed done,
And it's better you never should
reach your goal
Than ever success to buy
At the price OF knowing down in
your soul
That your glory il all a lie.
