One rider. who had hved for thirty
years IN the back country. used two
lam tins and seven pebbles. one TIN
was marked This Week. and the 9TH
o.. Last Week" On Sunday morning
he was accustomed to take pebble
out Of ''Last Week" and drop It into
This Week." This operation he re-
peated every morning until "This
Week" had used up the seven. They
were then returned to Last Week"
one each day: and the old fellow
knew when another week had passed.
Another rider. named Eagan, tried
several plans to keep count OF the
days, but always failed. At last he hit
on q novel and attractive method. He
made a big damper-the name the
Australians give to cake of flour and
water with seasoning of salt-on
Sunday and marked it into seven
parts. Each section was a days al
lowance, and the slices that remained
told him the number of days that must
pass before Sunday came again.
For several weeks this method new
er failed him. Unfortunately, one
Tuesday he fell in with fellow rider
who was very hungry. Eagan stinted
himself, in order that the ravenous
one might be satisfied with that days
section Of the damper. But 1t was no
use. The host saw the knife cut the
boundary line and the hungry rider
carve into the almanac. He could
stand it no longer.
stop, now, stop!" he yelled, as he
clutched the remains of the damper
and glared at his visitor. There" he
continued, you've eaten Tuesday and
you've eaten Wednesday, and now you
want to slice the best of the mornin'

WATCHING THE
 PENNANT CHASERS.
Browns Are Worth Keeping an Eye on
 This Year.

Making all due allowances for the inevitable, the irrepressible ifs" and 'andS; which are certain to CrCp up before the flag falls for the finish one October afternoon, it is high time for all safe and sane guessers to lift their heads from the watery depths of super caution, abandon their perisCOpes and come right out to the surface and fight.
 Who is going to win the National win the American league pennant? Yes-and who is going to win the worlds championship? It costs nothing to pick a winner, and be one as wise or as silly as he will, he can lose no prestige if he misses all three guesses. The most 'experty'' of all the experts have done that same thing for To, these many years.
 It is easy to say that Brooklyn will win the National league pennant, be- most of the season and has played
 far and away the most consistent ball. There is always a chance that Boston will take one R3 thS spuTfs that made Staliinss Famous few years ago, or that the Phillies will return to their classy form of last year-but both seem unlikely. It looks like your Uncle Wilbur and his FIatbush legions will divide the short or long end of the big money in the October classic.
 Almost the same line of reasoning will bring you to the conclusion that the Dodgers will divide the short end. The American league teams-barring, of course, Connie MaCk's unparalled and incomparable collection of glass armed, tvory-don1ed. butter fingered miSfts-seem again to have the class. It Is not likely that the Dodgers, in a crucial worlds series, could come through with the worlds champion ship, whether the opposition be the White Sox, the Red Sox or even the strength of either of the six teams is greater than that of the Dodgers, and they both have powerful hitting stars whose work will figure mighty prom 3nently in a series, where few blows will decide the result.
 So great is the popularity of Speaker, so great the admiration of fandom, generally, for the brilliant Texan, that the Scarlet Hose have been woeful1y under rated without his aid Carrigan's crew, however, now appear to be the stronger contender in the Ban Johnson circuit. They rounded out highly successful jour ney through the west, returning home in the lead. It Is now up to them to increase that lead In this home stay, so that they will be protected against the long home stay of the western clubs in September. The White Sox, after another great string of victories, crumpled up again at the most unex- pected time. Hugh Jennings manages to keep his Tigers up there fighting. Just at the time his men get in sight ing distance of the leadership, his pitching staff blows up with a loud, resounding noise, and the recoil lands them at the top of the second division.
 The Browns are worth watching. Fielder Jones has zthe habit of acauir-

NECK AND NECK RAGING
 AT NORTH RANDALL TRACK.
Mabel Trask and St. Frisco Provide
 Thrills for Big Gathering.

Cleveland, O., Aug. 23.-MabeI Trask and St. Frisco in the Western Reserve POS trOt furnished the thrills today at the North Randall grand circuit meet ing, With the wind blowing a gale along the mile ring, the mare, piloted by CCx, and the stallion, driven by the veteran Geers, raced neck and neck through the entire course in all three heats, the Trask mare getting the first two heats and the race and Geers' horse nosing out the winner in the third heat.
 It was a great race and stirred the big thrOng to wild enthusiasm. Mabel Trask was the faVOrite, but St. Frisco gave her a great battle in the first two heats, the second heat being step ped in 2.04, remarkably fast time con- sidering the high wind. St. Frisco managed to nose out the Trask mare in the third heat, and the two horses divided the major portion of the $3,000 purse.
 Miss Perfection, the favorite in the 2.11 trot, after getting off to a bad start and finishing sixth in the first heat, stepped off in the next two and won handily over Hazel Laing, who had won the first heat.
 Young Todd had things all his own way in the 2.15 pace, although Spring Maid, the faVOrite made him step out in the first heat. The Todd horse won in straight heats. Another member of the Todd family, General Todd, show ed clean pair of heels to his com petitors in the POT pace, winning in straight heats. AltawOod, the favorite, failed even to get within the money.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET CLOSED STRONG
Profit taking Acted as Check Upon
 Early Dealings.

New York, Aug 23.-Proft-t taking acted as a check upon tOday's active market, but was not especially effec- tive until the final hour, when many of the days gains were reduced or completely effaced Short selling in railroad negotiations at Washington, also served to bring about the late reversal.
 United States Steel was again the pivot about which the market for the most part revOlVed. That stock made a new maximum on it's advance Of ? Is to 99 3-S, from which it fell back to 97 7-S, the closing quotation. Deal ings in Steel were so extensive a s to overshadow every other feature of the market, aggregating 250,000 out of total of 1.075,00 shares.
 Demand for rails was most insistent in the forenoon, Union Pacific leading at a gross gain of 1 3-S with a fur ther inquiry for Reading and Lehigh Valley, as well as other coalcrs, St Paul and Great Northern. All these issues yielded to the pressure of the afternoon, together with coppers, Mexicans and some of the remote war issues.
 Shipping shares and the automobile division were again subject to con- certed selling movements, the former by reason of rumOrS indicati an other reduction in ocean freight rates and the latter as a result of the new stock offering of the Willys Overland.
 Bethlehem Steel stood out among the high priced specialties by it's fur ther gain of 3-4 to 489 3-4 and Gu ban-American Sugar lost as much with a moderate recovery at the end. There was less activity in misceIla- neOus or unclassified stocks, those is sues showing no material change.
 A slight shading of rates to Berlin and Vienna, marked the only change in foreign remittances, dealings in Sterling bills and francs being ex- tremely light.
 Anglo-French f1ves were again the sole feature of the steady bond mar ket. Total sales, par value, $3,965,O 900.
 United States and Panama threes advanced 1-4 of one per cent. on call.

ing a late start. He was a little later than usual this year, but he has a good outside chance of winning the pennant. SisIcr is playing a wonder ful same for him, as is Praft Old Eddie Plank is pitching in fine form, and his whole team is clipping along in the most tantaIiZing manner. Fielder may not win pcnnaut, but the remarkable comeback of the Browns ranks with the spurt of the Giants at the early part of the year as a seasons feature ecHpsed only by the superbly sorry showing of the Athletics who lost 20 straight games without half trying.
 The Athletics did rot establish a new record for consecutive defeats, but one thing can be said in their favor. There never was such con- sistent, impartial loser as Connie Mack. He lost with equal facility to all teams, with the result that the other seven clubs are all above the 300 mark, and none of them is with Od1 a loOk-in.
 Connie Mack has one alibi. He is the only manager who has won six pennants and the only one with three worlds championships. He argues that poor support by the home fans, and excessive salaries demanded by his players, forced him to sell. the stars of his club, including Collins, Baker and Barry. Connie never figured that he would encounter such great difficulty in getting a new team, and he says now that he will retire from the game before he dispOses of another star.
 Now comes John J. AIcGraw, man ager of the New York Giants since 1902, with the declaration, or at least the intimation, that he would retire after next year. McGraw has been drawing 9 salary of $30,oO0 a year, and he is well fixed financially. His contract expires at the end of
