Freak Batting Games.

The Yankees have just had two ex-
periences in Boston singular enough to
be weird. The term hitting is a byword
and a jest, time is out of joint, and at
tack ceases to be more than a meaning
less phrase when In the same series a
team can make nine hits to it's oppo-
nent's two and lose and make eleven
hits to Its opponents two and lose
again. That's what the Yankees did,
but although recognizing the unparal-
leled nature Of the exploit they are not
FLOATING over it.

ISSUE NARR0WS DOWN

New York Giants Manager to Al

NEW YORK. July 9.-There Is Just a
chance that the McGraw Reputation
case" which will be reopened by the
National League, by request of the New
York Chapter Of the Base Ball Writer'S
Association at the adjourned meeting
next Friday. will not amount to much.
Sid Mercer of the Globe, who wrote the
now famous interview with McGraw,
and repeated it. in effect. to three other
New York scribes. declares he will not
appear at the hearing Of the writer's
associations appeal for vindication.
Mercer. says with much emhasis that he
doesn't intend to be double-crossed, and
that unless McGraw and the New York
club change their attitude within the
next two or three days there will be
trouble moro serious than q National
League inquiry.
".McGraw and tho New York club must

credit me. 1 understand that he in
tends to produce two witnesses who
will testify that he never gave the in
terview to me rejecting on Gov. Tener.
That would be very fine for McGraw,
but if he plays that card I'll haul him
into court. where testimony is taken
under oath. Then the whole truth will
come out in legitimate manner"
Mercer says that in court of law he
will swear that McGraw agreed to be
quoted when Mercer talked to him in
Pittsburgh on the night of June 10. also
that he will testify under oath that
McGraw read every line Of the copy
before it was put on the wire.

McGraw Stands by Denial Now.

McGraw positively has refused to dis
cuss the case since his arrival here last
Thursday. But his closest friends say
that he is not perturbed and IL prepared
to tell the truth when he appears be-
fore the league directors. McGraw's
friends say that he will produce two or
more witnesses who will support him
in his testimony that he didn't say the
things that Mercer wrote. It Is under
stood McGraw will state that after
he had received notice of his $500 fine
and a suspension for sixteen days from
Gov. Tener, Mercer entered his room at
the Schenley in Pittsburgh on th1
night of June Is and asked him what
he had to say. McGraw's friends insist
that he will attempt to prove by his
witnesses that he pronounced the pen
atty unjust, and added that as Byron
had not been penalized he would give
500 to tell Gov. Tener what he thought
about the whole affair. Nothing more.

said a word rejecting on the integrity
Of the governor" say the friends Of

not state that Tener was a hand-picked

about 1t. That little child had worked

PROUD OF 19-CENT TUBERs
Pennsylvania Farmer Who Minimized
Potato Cost, Produces Some
Real Whoppers.

Doylestown, Pa.-Farmer Edward
Chittlck Of Plumstead township, who
raised 269 bushels Of potatoes on an
acre of ground at 10 cents a bushel,
brought some real 'taters" to the coun-
ty seat Of Bucks, exhibiting "Mur-
phys" that averaged a pound each, to
show what kind he raised--and they
were whoppers,
Thlrty-one potatoes filled a half
bushel basket heaping full One after
another a dozen were measured, and
they were fairly uniform in length.
Most of them measured six inches
across. They weighed about a pound
apiece, and Mr.. Chittick says he had
some that tipped the scales at one and
three-quarters pounds.
Mr.. Chittick admits that he may
have been little low in some Of his
expense items; but it was very little.
He did nearly all the work himself,
and consequently the cost was less
than If he had to hire the kind Of la
Dor most farmers must. The United
States survey figures, he says, show
that he was not much too low on his
labor cost. As for cutting potatoes,
he says he can cut ten bushels with
a knife in half a day: but he keeps
right down to business.

Died Of Premature. Old Age

How many times we hear OF COM
paratively young persons passing away
when they should have lived to be 70
or so years Of age. This fatal work Is
usually attributed to the kidneys, as,
when the kidneys degenerate, 1t causes
auto-intoxication. The more injuri-
GUS the poisons passing thru the kid
neys the quicker win those noble or
gans be degenerated, and the sooner
they decay.
1t is thus the wisest policy, to pre-
vent premature old age and promote
long life, to tighten the work Of the
kidneys. This can be done by drink
ing plenty of pure water all day long,
and occasionally taking Anurlc, double
strength, before meals. This can be
obtained at almost any drug store. You

q Berne correspondent learns that
never has the Austrian capital been
in such a plight as now. Men, women
and even children lately have sue
cumbed to hunger and want, and he is
assured that children have been lit

is there enough to eat, he says, except
among the wealthy classes and the
welI-to-do farmers The organization
for the distribution of provisions is
wretched, despite the fact that "Peo-

According to the organ Of the Whole

trlan Consumers associations, prices
have risen, taking Austria as a whole,
by 1O4.67 per cent since the war be-
gan, but In Vienna propOrtiOnately far
more. 1t is not merely that oil neces-
stiles have become so exceedingly ex-
pensive, but that they are not pr6eur-
able. The few who have money still
contrive to purchase enough, but the
great majority who have not money
either go constantly hungry or depend
on public kitchens, which since their
creation have supplied the poorer
classes in Vienna alone with 38,253, SIS
meals. at a total cost of about S.

At the end of 1916 there were also,
in Vienna alone, 474,3OO persons in
receipt of government rellef-grants
of assistance-in other words, about
one in four of the entire population Of
the Austrian capital. These govern
ment grants since the start of the war
until the end Of last year had reached
the sum Of $50,OO0,0O0, besides which
there is a large number of destitute
refugees In Vienna who have cost the
state since the war began $11 625, 900.
And yet the burgermelster of Vienna
has just been warning the public that
they must be prepared for worse times
still to come In the next two months.
The clothing question, especially the
problem of how to provide any kind
of boots or shoes, Is almost as difficult
of solution as the food question. Ac-
tresses and others, who before the
war went about in elegant fanciful
shoes, now are glad to wear any cast
off footgear, or even clothing they can
get, as also are many girls and women
earning their living In Offices.
Even more acute is the fuel question
In Austria-Hungary.
