New York, July 19.-Boston and Chi.
cago, of the American league, meet to-
day in the first of the well known and
oft encountered big league "crucial
series. -
What the white brand is able to do
to the red kind of hosiery in the fracas
in Charles Comiskey S park should have
lot TO do with who will win Ban
johnson s pennant this year.
If the White Sox can take a maiori-
ty of the games, they probably will be
so loaded with confidence that nothing
will be able to shake off the command
ing lead they will have gained at the
expense of the champions.
Buff the Red Sox should suddenly
lose control of themselves and walk
into the Comiskey elan with the same
vim with which they attacked them in
their last series, Clarence Rowland will
need something besides a good pitch
ing staff to console him for while.
The White Sox lead Boston today by
twenty six points. Eddie Cicotte, Red
Faber, Joe Benz and the rest of the
Chicago pitchers are in excellent shape
Add to this the fact that Eddie Collins
has gone back to the habit of whanging
out regular base hits and it doesn t
look so encouraging for the Red Sox.
The White Sox, however, won t find
much consolation in the fact the full
strength of the Red Sox is present to-
gether with some mighty effective
pitching performances from Babe Ruth,
Dutch Leonard, Ernie Shore and Carl
Mays.

ferry landing on the other side, taking
the bathers right into the park.
Carpenters are now working on the
enlargement of the bathing houses and
the swimming apparatus, swings are be-
ing put up and seats and picnic benches

The committee in charge expects to
make this free camping ground for
tourists during the summer and no
doubt there will be many campers take
advantage of this offer. Any one wish
ing to camp just outside the park may
do so and can secure season ticket for
swimming.
The ferry service is amply sufficient
to care for all people that go over.
The water at this point has been in
spected thoroughly from health stand

are no detrimental ingredients therein.
This is the only point along the river
where swimming is being conducted
that is absolutely free from sewage.
A large barge is being constructed,
on which will be placed several diving
boards, diving platform and mon

The purpose of the beach is to pro-,
vide a safe swimming place for the
public at nominal cost. There is abso-.
lutely no profit made by this committee
in charge. Last year the Commercial
club stood a deficit of several hundred
dollars in order to operate the beach
for the public. This year it is expected
that the deficit will be larger than last,
because of the extensive improvements
that are being provided for A charge

The beach is made absolutely safe by
having an expert swimmer to patrol the

swimmers from going out into the deep
water. A deputy sheriff is in charge of
the grounds.
There has never been drowning or
an accident connected with the public
bathing beach.

Delivery Wagon Has
MM-Up With the Shasta

Lemons belonging to Damon Brothers
grocers, were scattered along the South
ern Pacific railroad track yesterday
when the Shasta Limited struck the
Damon delivery wagon and practically
demolished it at the D street crossing.
Driver Reinoehl, who jumped from the
wagon, received gas hin the neck but
was otherwise uninjured. The horses
were uninjured as they had gotten com
pletely across the track when the train
struck the wagon. Responsibility fo-
the accident is placed on the Shasta
Limited, according to witnesses, as it
did not give any warning signal until
within fifty feet of lhe crossing. In
the opinion of Mr.. Damon the negro
porters on the train were very hungry
for lemons because they picked up a
box of lemons that was in the wagon
and got away with it. There were about
ten dollars worth of groceries in the
wagon at the time and they were not of
the "assorted = kind after the accident.

FRENCH ARE FURIOUS
OVER DESTRUCTION
Germans Destroy From Pure
WantOnneSs All Orchard
Trees
By Henry Wood.

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent)
With the French Armies Advancing
from scissors, March 27.-- French
soldiers don't pull down the carcasses
of rabbits, crows and hawks, squirrels
and the like which they find occasion
ally strung on wires dangling from
ruins of houses destroyed by the Ger
mans in their retreat.
Here is the reason why
In several places north of scissors
the advancing French forces have
found that when attempt was made to
yank down these dead bodies, the pull
on the wires to which they were at
tached set off mines ingeniously laid
by the Germans.
But not everywhere have the Ger
mans had sufficient time in which to
plan such ingenious traps. The French
pursuit has heen so speedy that the
enemy has been frequently forced to
leave before completing its work of
destruction. Thus five hundred thous-
and bottles in a glass factory recently
taken escaped the usual devastation
although the Germans literally wiped
out the factory itself.
1t is commentary on the German
military character that, faced by hot
pursuit along the Amubeuge road and
forced TO choose between what they
could destroy and what they did not
have to destroy, the Germans choose tc
destroy orchards and leave intact con
crete shelters of the utmost military
value.
If anything was needed to arouse tho
French forces to utter fury it was this
deliberate wantonness, not excusable on
/ the ground of military necessity. Ger
tainly the concrete shelters were Of
vastly more military value than thu
fruit trees. The German destruction
here gives the lie to Berlin s CLAIM
that orchards were cut down "solel.
to deprive the enemy of their militar,
value"

BUTTER PRICES HIGHER;
RETAIL PRICE so CENTS

Portland, Ore, Mar. 2S.-There will
be 3-cent advance in butter prices this
morning, which will lift Portland quo
tations to the highest level known in
years. City creamery prints in wrap
pers will wholesale at 42 cents and in
cartons at 43 cents. The retail market
win be again placed at the 50.cent
mark.
The supply of butter, ereamerymen
say, is the smallest they ever knew it to
be at this time of year, and it will
probably be two weeks at least before
there is any material relief in the situa-
tion.
Grass conditions will improve from
now on. but so many dairy cattle have
been sent to the stockyards that it is
a question whether the output of butter
this spring win equal that of last year.
The high price of feed is responsible
for the reduction Of herds.
With the rise in butter, the buying
price of butter fat is lifted three cents,
and dairymen assert they can now
operate at a profit, but at the price that
has been prevailing they suffered a loss.
There was more in it for them to sell
the feed they had on hand than TO turn
it into milk.
Receipts Of country creamery cubes
have been far under the demand for the
past few weeks. Extras sold yester-
day up to 80 cents, equaling the price
that city creameries were quoting at the
time on prints.
