while only Is out of % were played
in the American league.
Morton established an American
league record fer the season by fan
ming l3 Athletics yesterday. In one
inning he famed four in succession,
/ but the first one reached first be
cause the third strike was a wild
pitch.

The ability of George Burns. the De

good in the pinches has regained him
his job at first, where Heilman was
stationed for the first few weeks of
the season.
According to report. Burns case is
very peculiar. First George was

A man who can do that cannot be kept

for some time.

liam Howard Taft and Theodore
Roosevelt. Bat Pittsburgh has al
ready, and, on the occasion of the Wis
it of Charles Evans Hughes to the
plants and the toilers, offered proof
equally convincing of the possibility
OF forgetting among politicians. Thus
we have this announcement over the
wires, with reference to the regular
and progressive Republicans:
"Whatever divisions have existed
in the past between those two fac.
tions, they were swept away for the
time being, and Senator "BilP Finn
the friend of Roosevelt, broke his
rule of years and exchanged greet
ings with Senator's Oliver and Pen
rose in order that the urging of con-
tinued hospitality upon Mr.. Hughes
might not lack unanimity."
This, it would seem, means final
closing of the breach between the
as,on Leaders q - ylyania, and
nification of all the forces, recently
scattered; an achievement, by the
way, that shuld carry assurance of
an overwhelming plurality, in that
state, for the Republican national
ticket in November. Christiaon

BREADFRUIT IN PREHISTORIC
FLORIDA

A change of climate is supposed to
account for the shrinkage of Alaska
glaciers, for the disappearance of
those clever stone masons whose
handiwork is found in the midst of
Mexican jungles, and for many other
things. Great changes of climate un-
doubtedly have taken place in dif-
ferent parts of the world. impress
sions of fossil plants are found in
the Arctic regions and fossils found
in the rocks elsewhere prove that
temperature and moisture in other
regions have been very different in
other times. The present vegetation
in northwestern Florida represents
u temperate flora that has received
additions from the Tropics. A few
years ago man digging in clay
bank on Apalachicola River, west Of
found fossil plants which
prove that in Tertiay geologic time
some millions of years ago, the flora
was distinctly tropical and was grad
unlly becoming invaded by members

fruit, camphor and satinwood, and
with them remains of the chm and
buckthorn. BY far the most abun-
dant fossil was the palm, whole lay
ers of which were found fossiiized in
sand. This discovery suggests that
in tertiary time, near the coast and
along sluggish rivers, only few feet
above sea level; there were in that
region extensive palmetto swamps
or brakes.
The subtropical or warm temper
ate climate in which these palms and
breadfruit lived in western Florida
was cooler than that of the preced-
ing period, when, in the area that
now is land, a shallow tropical sea
swarmed with shellfsh.
These fossil plants, which point to
a former more tropical climate, were

HUGHES WILL CARRY KANSAS
By BIG VOTE

The Hughes majority In Kansas is
only question of how far it exceeds
$4,000 votes, according to f. w. Par
rott, editor Of the Daily Dispatch
Republican OF Clay Center, Kan, who
is spending few days at the Ant
lers. Mr.. Parrot says that the candi-
dacy of the Republican nominee has
met with an extraordinary response
among the people of his state, par
ticularly the farmers, and that as
the campaign proceeds their enthus-
iasm is growing perceptibly.
"The only thing facing the Hughes
supporters and the Republican orga-
nization in Kansas said Mr.. Par
rott, 'is whether or not the plurality
over Wilson can be brought up to
100000 votes. Most of us think that
it can"
MIR. Parrot expresses confidence
over the congressional situation in
Kansas, assuring inquirers that the
delegation returned to Washington
at the fall election will be all Repub-
Leans. There is no senatorial con-
test in that state this year.-Colo-

CLAIMS FOR MIR. HUGHES

Indiana, Illinois and Wisconsin sure,
Say Republicans.
NEW YORK, N. Y.-Indiana, HI
inois and Wisconsin are claimed for
Mr.. Hughes by Chairman Wilcox.
He based his confidence on tele-
graphic advices from A. L. Hert,
manager of the Chicago headquar-
ters, and United States Senator Law
renee Sherman of Illinois. Mr.. Hart
wired:
'At the close OF week of travel
thru Illinois, Wisconsin and Indiana
with the Republican presidential
nominee, do not hesitate to predict
that Mr.. Hughes will carry each OF
the states by large majorities.
"Mr. Hughes has spoken in 81
cities and towns OF the middle west
since last Tuesday. Three hundred
thousand people heard him. His re-
ception indicated there is no Repub-
lican apathy in this part Of the coun-
try. Mr.. hughes drew record crowds
in Illinois, Wisconsin and Indiana.
Indiana is not doubtful; it will go
for Hughes and Fairbanks by an
overwhelming majority in November.
This claim is amply substantiated by
the great turnouts which have met
the Hughes train ut each of the 81
stops made in the Hoosier state, by
the interest with which the various
audiences followed the speeches and
by the responses that greeted him.
Senator Sherman said: Governor
Hughes speech at Springfield was
the greatest have heard in life
time. 1t aroused responsive senti-
ment in the audience. Hughes has
helped himself greatly and all of the
rest Of the ticket in the Middle West.
