For the first time in years the Gin
cinnati Reds are in the first division
this late in the season,
This is a tremendous achievement
for Christy Matthewson, the first OF
half a score of managers who have
been able to pull the Reds into the
first four in the National league race.
Matty, one of the greatest and
smartest pitchers the game has ever
known, has established himself as a
smart managera manager who does
things. -.
It is quite possible that Matty will
finish the season in fourth or even in
third place He has better club than
the Cubs and is making his athletes
play the kind of ball which brings out
all the latent power in a ball club.
His club is fully as strong as the Car
dianls and he is getting as much from
1t. .
Matty has four players hitting over
300. Rousch, who leads the league
with anayerage around $50; Groh,
who leads both leagues in run getting;
Chase, last year league leader, who
has hit his stride and Tom Clarke, the
veteran catcher.

LITTLE GRAIN IN RESERVE,

CLARKsBURG, W. Va, July "a
Reports gathered by Commissioner of
Agriculture ]. A. Stewart indicate
that there is very little grain held in
reserve in West Virginia. Local grist
mills, therefore, are relying on their
stock as heretofore purchased and on
the new crops to come in. Notwith-
standing the never-failing power which
can so easily be harnessed on the
mountain streams Of the State, espec-

Baseball critics have watched Matty
carefully this yea. His success or
his failure was a great question.
Matty wasn't given great ball club
but he was given one with possible,
ties. He had stars in Chase, Groh and
Toney. The rest of the club ranged
between mediocre and fair,
The club was torn by interval dis
sension. Buck Herzog had left a
bunch of sulkers.
Matty's first job was to eradicate
this. He established good feeling
among his players. He showed them
that he was for them and with them
and soon they started to work for him.
Then the Reds began to climb.

ers in the league, has been going well.

SUBJECT OF DEBATE
Lynden and Bellingham Teams Will
Argue Compulsory Military Drill
Question Tonight

The nearest thing to public dis
cussion of war, and the preparation
for it that Lynden has heard since
relations were broken with Germany
will take place tonight at the high
school auditorium, when the Lynden
debaters will engage a team from
North Bellingham on the compulsory
military drill system in the schools.
The question is all the more inter-
esting because a bill is now before
the legislature which would require
high schools of the size of Lynden
to give instruction each week IN mil
itary training and tactics.
The Lynden team will favor the
introduction of such course. Ed

Charles Kamm will represent Lynden

Jamaica. though 1t is found in other
parts of the West Indies. The crea-
ture Is caught by the employment of

laced between the rocks. Once caught
the turtle is taken to Kingston. where
it is kept in special sea water pens on

turtle is provided with a peculiar kind
Of sea grass. which 1t likes very much.
Curiously enough, when 1t Is taken
