MENTAL SUGGESTION AIDS
 MANY CALIFORNIA ATHLETES.
Coach Comstock Has Won Many Bat
 ties by the Power of His Mind.

The effect of mental suggestion on 1 athletes and the work of former Coach l COnstoch of the University of South ern California has been given as an l excellent example of what mental sug- gestion has done toward developing | record breaking athletes. Now along comes Malcolm MacLean, the Chicago sporting authority with still further | tales of the California coach. ''Comstock naturally takes great pride in the achievements Of Fred Kel- ly,' says MacLean, Tn the Chicago Evening Post. You remember that ords while under ComstoCks care. However, suggestion did not go as well with Kelly as with the others. There have been times when Kelly was not certain ot himself said Com stock T have gone so far as to get hold of Fred when the band was play ing and start dancing with aim. That never failed to make him laugh, and then I knew everything was lovely; that he would win his race.
 "I recall one instance where sug- gestion certainly worked great for me continued Comstock. It was with coaching Citrus Union High in Cali fornia. He was my hammer thrower and lost confidence in himself one meet. He barely qualified. I decided 10 put him back in his stride again.
 "'Callirg him aside, I told him I lad a hunch that he would make one big throw that afternoon and that it would win the event.
 '- The boy was delighted. He went out and actually won with a long toss, the only one he could negotiate. He laid his success to my fabricated hunch.
 '-The power of suggestion works the other way. too. If you direct sug- gestion against competitors they sell dom win l have often done this by means or newspaper interviews.
 When I had Whitted at Citrus Union he beat Fred Kelly. Then. when ted both in the high and low sticks. Against the University of California Whitted smashed both coast reords; gainst my men he fell down and won only one point in two meets
 ." In two years my squad lost only one contest, and that was when the men were physically and mentally stale
 The writer of this article happened to be present at that meet. It was against the University of California at Los Angeles several years ago. We ad hoped to see Kelly at his best, but he lost to Peebles of California, his only defeat under Comstock It was in that meet that Drew, with a sore leg, won the 100 yard dash by so great distance he looked back and joshed the field all the way home.
 When athletes are stale, sugges- ton cannot work continued Comstock. The brain must be fresh and alert.
 I had a difficult time getting Fred Kelly's confidence. IL wasn't until this past summer I had him believe he could made 014 4-5 in the high hur- dles When he came to believe me he set the mark I think he could Go OLA 2-5 with a months practice and suggestion

Patriotic Tennis Played in Heavy Rain
Williams Defeated By Niles of Boston Does Not Lose Title By Losing Contest-Mmray and Stracham to Meet in SemiFinals Today-Winner Will Play Niles in Finals On Saturday.

Forest Hills, N. Y, Aug. 25.-Playine in a steady rain which varied from 8 drizzle to a downpour, N. w. Niles of Boston, defeated R. Norris Williams 2nd, also of Boston, three sets to one, in the only match staged in the na- tiOnal patriotic singles tournament al the West Side club here today Niles won the first, third and fourth sets, while Williams secured the second, the scores being 6-2, 4-6, 6-4, 6-3.
 The holder of the national cham pionship does not lose his title as the result of today's defeat, however, since the tournament is without t1tu- lar value, being played for the ben eft of the Lawn Tennis Association Ambulance Fund If the champion ship had been at stake the contest would never have been completed un- der the conditions which prevailed, for the turf, balls, racquets, participants and spectators were soaked long be- fore the conclusion of the match.
 No attempt was made to play the other half of the semi finals which would have brought together R. Lind ley Murray of Niagara Falls, N. Y., and John R. Strachan of San Fran cisco These two survivors of the lower half of the draw will meet to- morrow and the winner will play Niles in the final round on Saturday.
 Two matches were played in the junior championship and one in the hoys' division. In Ehe former. F. Bas- tian of Indianapolis, Ind, defeated L. E. Williams, Chicago, 6-1, so, 6-4 and c. s. Garland of Pittsburgh won from G. Throcknorton, Philadelphia, 6-1, G. l, so.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET WAS WEAK.
But Trading Was On an Extensive
 Scale, 915,ooo Shares.

New York, Aug 23.-Latest aspects of the governments price-fxing pro- gramme were assigned as the reason for the further weakness of today's S stock market. Important shares recorded additional declines of two to 7.~ points but rallies in the final hour materially reduced many losses, some tues closing at net gains.
 Trading was on the most extensive scale of any session for several weeks, aegregating 815. 900 shares. Coalers, steels, coppers, all the active equip nents and numerous specialties were most often the center of irregular bear drives.
 The oil stocks. which are expected to suffer from drastic price revision, lost more ground than any other group, Texas Company making an extreme loss of 13 points and Mexican Petrole- um two. Or the curb Standard Oil issues registered gross declines of 3 to 20 points.
 Many margined or speculative ac- counts were wiped out in the course of the days operations. Liquidation for out of town interests as evidenced by tho heavy offerings of commission houses, contributed measurably to the severe setback of the morning.
 Other factors favorable to the bears were furnished by fresh developrn $ in the Russian miltariv and economic situations, the extension of domestic labor troubles and another reduction in steel price schedules notably pig iron.
 United States Steel fell 2 1-2 points to 11S 1-2. it's lowest price in about two months. but. closed at a net loss of 3-A of a point Other steels made similar recoveries and shippings cop pers and motors retrieved the greater part of their losses with rails.

THE REWARD FOR AGRICULTURAL
 EXPERIMENTS.

(Written Specially for The BuIIetinD One Of my customers, noticing the scabby, naively informed me that she had read in The Ladies World or The De.ineator, she forgot which. that soaking the seed in formalin solution would prevent scab
 thanked her. as gravely and un- smilhgly as I could. and advised her to try it out in her next years war garden"
 My own potato seed was soaked, last spring. in the standard formalin solution for the directed length of time. Two varieties-extra early showed absolutely no trace of scab when dug. Two other varieties-ex- of the hills we have looked into. Two other medium early varieties. which we are now digging, are about as scabby a lot as it was ever my ill., luck to see.
 One of my neighbors, who planted Early Rose and Irish Cobbler side by side in the same ground and didn't treat either for seab. showed me day. Tie Cobbiers were as fair and smooth as a baby's skin; the Early Rose were shamelessly pitted with scab, so that they were unfit for sale.
 He assured me that they were both planted the same day and the ground had the same treatment. Also, that there could have been no scab in the soil, as the field had not been in po- the seed showed no trace or sugges- tion of it.
 In my own case. the smooth extra earlies were planted on clover sod. which was cut over for hay last year. and had been in potatoes the year be- fore. Soil a dry gravelly loam. The horribly scabby ones were on the ground that was in potatoes, last year. Soil again a dry graVelly loam. There was no trace of scab on any of the seed
 In the extra early patch I tried light application of cattle salt. drag ged in the furrow before planting. oC four rows: a similar application of sulphur on four row; one of fine ground lime on four rows: one of sul- phur on four rows: a 1900 pounds to- the-acre dose of high grade conner cial fertilizer on four rows: and the rest of the patch, eight or ten rows, was left without any treatment or ma nuring, other than that of the turned under clover sod.
 There was not any perceptible diff ference in the time of their priching through the ground. They all took nearly six weeks to get up. After they had begun to show the rows" there was no difference in the lock of the tops at any time Nor was there any meaSura Die Ol1I terence Tn the yield at digging time. They were as near alike as two peas. The yield was small, all over. and the potatoes ran under size. But all were smooth.
 The potatoes which are so scabby were given rather heavy narrowed in dressing of wel1-rotted stable ma nure, the manure being mixture from horse and COW stalls (ooth horses and cows heavily grained). the mixture further rooted over and
