GIANTS SLAUGHTER
 3 TWIRLERS AND
 CLEAN UP PHILLIPS

New York, Sept. 12-Eppa Jeptha RiXey is the name which suggests much brain power, and the pitcher for the Phillies who labors under this title has plenty of brains. That no one can deny. Rixey learned his baseball along with his Greek, Arabic, and ar chaeology, down in the University of Virginia On the ball field Eppa can usually concentrate all his brains. to the subject at ahnd, but yesterday at the Pole grounds he couldn't, and he was so liberal in one inning that he gave the Giants six runs in a game which the remade McGraw team won by a score of 9 to 4.
 The Brooklyn Robins, although they lost to Boston yesterday, still cling to first place, with the Phillies second and Boston third. In trimming the Phil lies yesterday Manager McGraw did his friend Wilbert Robinson of Brook lyn another good turn.
 Rixey was kept in the game yester- day until he was pounded beyond rec ognition. In the eventful fourth in ming, when the Giants corralled their half dozen runs, 12 batsmen faced Rixey. It took him a long, long time to retire the side and for some mo-
 
 In dark repose behind Coogans Hill before he could do it.
 Benny Kauff yesterday arrived at that stage of batting prowess which he promised when he joined the Giants. Benjamin batted yesterday at the rate of 1000. He got a home run, two-bagger and two free passes.
 After Rixey had been reduced to ruins, a man with the strange name of Oeschged did the pitching He wasn't as bad as his name sounds, and when he gave way to pinch hit ter, Erskine Mayer finished the pro- ceedings.
 Jeff Tesreau was master of ceremo- nies in the box for the Giants and he looked as if he were on his way to pitch one of his best games. He had one bad inning, the seventh. when the Phillies banged him without consider ation and piled up four runs before Tesreau recovered from his hysteria

DRAFTING SEASON FOR MAJOR LEAGUES BEGINS
 FRIDAY IN CINCINNATI

New York, Sept. 12-Next Friday the annual drafting period will begin in Cincinnati by order of the National Baseball Commission. The sixteen major league clubs will put in claims for desirable players in. the minors and the assignments. as uspal, will be made by drawing lots. For the first time since 1913 the drafts will be made public immediately.
 In 1914 and 1915 the selections of players were kept secret because of the war with defunct Federal league. In that way the big leaguers were able to sign their new men without inter- ference. It is believed that about forty players will be taken from the smaller circuits in this manner. But many of them, as usual, will go back.

.REM-ARMS PLAYERS STILL
 HOPEFUL OF HAVING FOOTBALL
Outsiders Claim Chain Co. Will Have Only Team
 Other Sport Notes.
(BY Wagner.l

Although it has been reported on several occasions that the Remington Arms boys will not have football eleven this season some of those at tn eplant interested in athletics are hoping circumstances will change within the next few weeks so that it will be possible to have a team.
 When P. B. Mack retired from the big plant the cause of athletics suffer ed hard blow. A field had been completed in the Avon park section and arrangements for a big season were under way. Since his depar- ture there Nhave been influences at work to permit football preparations to continue. Those on the inside think the, attempt will fail, however, and tha tthe only professional foot ball in the city will be staged at Newfie1d park under the direction of Mike Healy.
 The defeat of the Brooklyn club in Boston yesterday frightened the Ma tiona1 league struggle. Although the Phillies were beaten ! again by the Giants they are still only game and half behind Brooklyn. Boston, Detroit and Chicago all won in the American so the situation remained unchanged. The Red Sox have a game and a half advantage overt the Tigers and Jennings men are at a dis advantage becaus ethey have three less games to play than Boston. Base ball men at this stage prefer to have more unplaed games because they fig ure they always have chance to win an unp1ayed contest.
 With Maranville, out of the lineup Manager Stallings of the Braves is in desperate straits. He has wired Johnny Evers to join the club at once although Johnn's arm is not in good shape yet.

 That was fourteen years ago-and yet old Three Fingers is still able to bob up every once in a while and win game, or at least make a mighty good try at it. Eddie Plank and Jack Coombs deserve all the credit that has been showered upon them as the grand old men of the slab, but Mortified Brown should also get a hand once in while. He was a great old wagon in his prime-and doubtless he still has a few good games left in his system. The reduction in the price of buzz buggies will be of great assistance to the boxing game. Many a promising young mitt artist hasn't been able to do enough road work to make good just because he couldn't afford a mo- tor car.

good ball for Providence, but finds the International pitching hadder than the Eastern brand.

lnternatlonaI pltcnlng ha1oer thah the Eastern brand.
 Much of the success of the Detroit club recently has been due to the catching of Tub Spencer. His case is one of the most notable come backs in recent years. When Spencer was in the American league before he was fine player but couldn't keep away from ales, wines and liquors. He went to the Coast league but didn't reform so he was released several times. Then he got married and his wife must have reformed him with a rolling pin. Anyway he caught so brilliantly for Vernon of the Coast league that he was given a chance by Detroit. He is a dangerous hitter and has driven home many runs for the Tigers.

FOLLOW THE ANCIENT RITUAL
Samaritans Of Today Observe the
Passover With All the Traditional
Ceremonies Ordered.

"The Samaritans stood close togeth-
er to prevent the Mahometan specta-
tors, who delight to torment them.
from snatching even bit of wool,
which would remain over and thus
cause them to break the command,
'Ye shall let nothing Of It remain until
the morning" says writer in the
Christian Herald.
After cleansing the lambs they re-
moved a front leg of each, and these
were set apart as the priests portion.
A long wooden pole was then threaded
through each of the prepared lambs.
and was carried thus to the pit near
by, wherein a large fire, which had
been kindled early in the evening, had
burned down, leaving bed of red-hot
Goals at the bottom. The poles, pro-
tected by metal at the lower end, were
stuck into this bed of Goals, being long
enough to reach to the top of the pit,
the lambs thus suspended about half
way up. A mating was placed over
the mouth of the pit, which in turn
was covered with earth, making a sort
of improvised oven, for the law de
mands that they be roast with fire
not sodden with water
"The sheep were left to roast unit
midnight-the appointed hour-and al
but the guards retired to their tents
during the interval.
Being the guests of the KAHN, WI
went to his tent, and he edited us b!
reading the various laws in Leviticu
concerning the sacrifices, besides tn
chapter which gives the narrative o
the first Passover"

LOOK TO FOURTH GENERATION
Writer Sees Little to Praise in the
First Three Generations Of
Modern Americans.

The North American child is too
often merely the by-product of mar
riage. 1t serves as an outlet for that
pride which it's parents cannot always
reasonably take in themselves. 1t is
petted, cajoled, pampered, overdressed
and underdisciplined, till there is
evolved strange pygmy for whom the
world soon grows banal, who is desti-
tute of the petitionary appeal of child
hood and who surveys an already an
ticipated and thoroughly analyzed fu-
ture with the cold eyes of unnatural
knowledge, Alan Sullivan writes In
HarpeR's Magazine for August. The
world is its football. 1t is smart be-
yond description. But there is in the
forced garden Of its life no sheltered
bed where may bloom the flowers of
graciousness or peace. OF such will
be the new aristocracy. and its tradi-
tons will be Of grandfathers who, by
virtue of that fine native American
longheadedness, delivered the goods
of their period and were promptly and
suitably rewarded. But there will be
few traditions of courtliness, scant
reminders that noblesse oblige, and
but scattered memories of inherited re-
sponsibilities. The sempiterna1 dollar
will still dominate. One generation
was too busy collecting and the other
will be too busy spending. The Sec
| ond generation offers no promise and
the third but little. The fourth will
probably open new and finer cycle.

u. S. LEADS ALL WORLD
IN PETROLEUM PRODUCTION
Output in 1915 Was 65.s5 Per Cent of
Total-Russia Second and Mex
leo Third in List.

The United States supplies 65.S5
per cent of all the crude petroleum
produced in the world in 1915, accord
ing to figures compiled by Uncle Sam.
Russia was the nearest competitor of
the United States and Mexico, in spite
of the unsettled conditions there, was
the third largest Oil producing country
In the world.
The production in the United States
was 2S1, ,104,1 ,104 barrels of 42 gallons
each. Russia was a poor second with
69,548,062 barrels, while Mexico pro-
duced 32,91O,50S barrels.
Figures on petroleum production in
the world since 1857 show that the
United States has been steadily gain
ing on other countries, The total
production. in the United States dur
ing that period was 3,616,561 PA, or
COLO per cent of the entire produc-
ton of the world in that time, while
1915 the proportion produced by
United States mas grown. to 65S5
cent. During the same period,
ON 1857 to 1915, Russia has pro-
.uced 1,690,7S1, ,907 barrels, or 2910
per cent of the total production, while
in 1915, the output of that country had
fallen to 1906 per cent of the worlds
total.
The only other country in the world
which produced more than 100000
barrels in 1915 were the Dutch East
Indies, Roumania, India, Galicia,
Japan, and Formosa, and Peru, but
the production in most of these coun-
tries was less than 1 per cent of
the total.

HARVEST TIME MEANT WORK
Boys RecoIIections of That Particular
Time on the Farm Are Not
Extraordinarily joyful.

If you were a boy on the farm you
will recall vividly what harvest meant
to you, for you had to carry water,
and harvest hands were thirsty set,
nor did they seem to care how far
it was to the spring, or how badly
chapped your feet.
When not carrying water you were
busy gathering sheaves, which was
about the hardest work in sight, or at
least you thought it was.
When dinner came you would be so
hungry that there did not seem to be
enough on the table to satisfy you, to
say nothing of the hungry bunch. In
this you would be somewhat disap-
pointed, for there was always enough
for all.
Then for an hours rest, during
which the men would sprawl out in
the shade of a tree, or on the porch.
in the greatest comfort. And maybe
you would have found good place
to rest your weary bones, and about
to settle into it when one of the
Graders would come along with a
! lealzy bucket in one hand and a dull
scythe in the other and order you TO
come along and turn the grindstone
! while you were resting.
Didn't it seem that they had spite
i at boy in harvest time on the farm?

The decrease in the value of minerals

TIMOTHY HAY BALED
IN THE OPEN FIELD
Many Good Points to Recommend
Practice-Being More Gener-
ally Done Every Year.

The practice of baling hay in the
field has many good points to recon-
mend it and is being more generally
practiced every year. Experience has
shown that if timothy hay is cut at
the right stage and thoroughly cured,
it can be baled in the field and placed
in a closed barn Immediately without
danger.
There is probably no better time for
cutting timothy hay to be baled than
when practically all the bloom has
fallen and approximately one-tenth the
heads are beginning to turn yellow.
With good weather for curing, fair
amount of sunshine and drying wind,
it is possible to cut hay one morning
and bale it the following day, provided
the hay is reasonably free from rank
growing green weeds.
