Clark Griffith's protest of the game
won by the Tigers from the Nationals
in Detroit Sunday. August 10, has been
allowed by President Ban Johnson of
the American League. and the contest
has been officially thrown out of the
records. As a consequence the Grin
men have one game taken off their list
of battles lost and the Tigers are de-
prived of one of their victories, with
the net result that Washington now is
only one game in the rear of Detroit
in the fight for fourth place. the official
standing being:
Won. Lost Pct.

Ayers and Ehmke were the rival pitch

the Tigers went to bat in the last half
of the ninth inning. George Burns

on a line to center. Clyde Milan per
mitted the ball to go right through
his legs and it rolled to deep center
field Burns sprinted around to third
where he hesitated and started back
to the bag. notwithstanding that Cobb,
who was coaching at third. was fran
tically motioning for him to keep on
going. Tyrus then ran over to Burns,
turned him toward the plate and start
ed him home, Burns scoring long before
Milan could retrieve the ball and have
it reIayed to the infield.
Griffith. in lodging his protest. claimed
that Cobb had violated section II of
rule 56. which reads:

hold base runner at third base or a
base runner who is rounding third base

declare such base runner out

World Series Plans Being Discussed
at National Commission Draft
Meeting at Cincinnati.

CINCINNATI, September - The
draft meeting of the national base ball
commission and the National and
American Leagues opened here today
with base ball men present from many
parts of the country. From indications
early today il appeared that nearly all
of the major league clubs would be
represented at the meeting.
In addition to transacting business
connected with the draft, the commits
sion will adopt a schedule for the world
series. and also for interleague games
between Cleveland and Cincinnati.
Semi officially. it was indicated that
the world series will be played in the
early part of October, probably start
ing on October 6. The city where the
opening game will be played will be
decided by the toss of coin.
When the commission went into ses-
sion it appeared probable that not as
many players would be drafted at this
meeting as in past years because of
the war The commission has already
announced that the draft price. in the
case of players eligible to selective
conscription. need not be paid until the
players report to the drafting club.

The Indianapolis team, which got

valuable man in the lineup a year ago.

and brilliant, Wall combined the two
qualities that seldom are found in one

Thus John Wylie, gTuff, almost Vi
cious, he who had never in his life
before spoken an unkind word or re
fused a favor or a kindness to hui
man or animal
There was some excuse. John was
at the end of his TOpe-fnanciaIly;
physically and mentally. Life had
gone hard with him. He had finished
all but one year at a medical college
when the bank failed in which he had
deposited the means of finishing his
college course and a surplus to float
him into practice in a modest but re-
spectacle way.
He knew considerable of therapeU-
tics, however, and he qualified as a
prescription clerk and secured a very
good position in a downtown drug
store. He scrimped and saved, for he
had an ambition to be his own mas
ter. The chance came. He saw the
advertisement of a druggist forced to
sell out ION account of i'll health"
John looked grewsOme as he viewed
the locality. The store was located
in a wretchedIy poor tenement dis
trict. His plausible predecessor
painted a glowing picture of lots of
sickness, therefore a steady demand
for remedies.
"Of course, it's a dime at a time,'
he observed, but there's a steady
stream of them"
So John became a proprietor. Bust
ness was quite steady" indeed, but
at the end of the month he looked
solemn and dubious. The volume of
business had not been so bad, but
half Of it was on a credit basis. John,

TO PROTECT ROOT CROPS.

Irish potatoes, turnip, beets, carrots,
parsnips and satisfy can be kept through
the winter in excellent condition in we'll
drained place in the open, or in barns, or
other outhouses, by the following method
At digging time, pile the roots in piles
with a sloping surface like a roof. cover
with straw or hay to a depth of six inches,
and then with about an inch of soil bank
carefully, but place no soil on the straw at
the top of the pile. Leave in this condition
until danger of freezing is over and then
increase the soil to six inches over the en-
tire pile. In almost all parts of the state
six inches of soil will be ample protection,
but where the weather gets very cold,
greater soil cover should be provided.
By storing under roof, the vegetables
are more easily taken out from time to
time to time as needed, and if care is taken
not to cover them too deeply at first, they
will keep as fresh as when fresh dug Cab
bage con be stored in the same way by re-
tanning the root and packing the heads
closely upside down, and covering with
straw and soil.
Care must be taken not to cover too
deep until cold weather arrives. If cover
ed too deeply they heat and decay.
