The greatest world series feature that we can think of now is a meeting between Brooklyn and St. Louis wherein Eddie Plank goes out against Jack Coombs.

The Glory of the Game.

fiS NiOES OI Why, it was only yesterday I dreamed How great the glory of the game
 must be; Where far away the flags of empire
 gleamed, And cleaning, called me on by land
 and sea; 10 knew the heights, red-rlmmed
 against the sky, TO take my n1ace out in the world of
 men. To know the heights I only know
 that I Want to go home again. I think now of a vanished summers When each far height took on rarer I left old-fashioned drifts to make
 my way Rv wrath trails through the poppy
 fields of dream; TO know life's fame before came To have the laurel wreathed on blade To know Hfes fame before l came
 to die, Want to go home again. How each height famed that day
 from where l turned To take my part with those who ruled
 the game; By dawn and darkness each new
 vision burned Until the goal swept to mighty
 flame; It may be that this flame still spans
 the sky, A greater flame than I had dreamed
 of then, I do not know-I only know that I Want to go back again.

Cincinnati ,, New York 2.

Cincinnati, Aug. 29.-After two victories sandwiched round a 14-inning tie game the winning spurt of the Giants was halted by the Reds, who are beginning to show some signs of animation under Christy Mathew son. The score was 5 to 2.
 Fred Toney had just one bad inning. New York punched three hits for two runs in the fourth inning and two runs probably would have won had Schupp started against Cincinnatrs big ace. One of these runs was the handiwork of Charles Lincoln Herzog. He stole home. The score:

LITTLE GARDEN NOTES.

Always plant the best-not the
cheapest seed you can get for flowers
or vegetables.
The garden should be near the
house and surrounded with a good,
woven wire netting or a hedge of
shrubbery, to keep out fowls and
other garden pests.
If the garden must of necessity be
on stiff, clayey soil mix all the coal
ashes and sand obtainable with it;
they will mellow it up wonderfully
Bonemeal is excellent for vines
and, fruit trees, and three or four
ounces may be applied to the square
yard. AS soon as a crop of any kind
appears above ground it needs cult
walton. both to kill the weeds and to
admit the air to the roots of the
plants.
In transpfanting any plants, let it
be done in the evening, il possible,
or on a dark day. Press the soil firm
ly about the roots and water well. II
after the water disappears, dry earth
is covered over the wet, it will pre-
vent baking of the soil about the roots
when the sun comes out next day.
