Reuther's Pitching Great
 Help To Cincinnati Club
SPORT DIGEST
By GRAVY.

Facing all sorts of pitching---good, bad and mediocre---the Giants romped through GO games without sustaining a single shutout. In their sixty-sev- enth contest of the season, they were set down without a run. There is no record---or at least none has come to lisht---of another team lodging an application of the whitewash brush from the opening of the season to the 12th of July in the annals of what is known as modern baseball. It is pos sib]e that in the days of the old lively ball, before the art of pitching had been raised to its present high plane, some aggregation of gentlemen who wore shirts laced up the front and Dundreary whiskers, after the fashion of the day, went as long or even longer than the Giants in escaping a runless defeat. Some real old timer may bob up with record of such an occurrence. John McGraw, who can go hack quite a ways himself, has no recollection of a similar feat.
 May I not ask whether the compu- tation of 47 seconds elapsed after the third round, include both the second in which the towel was cast and the second who cast it?
 There is no use talking that Young Fulton will quit challenging Benny yalgar. In his latest def he claims that q Boston club will stage the bout and that he will be glad to box there as decisions are allowed.

 And that's what they all say" Shocker, James, Caldwell, Coveleskie, Harper, Johnson, Perry, Davenport, Shawkey, Mogridge, Danforth and & dozen more, most of them ranked among the greatest twir1ers in the American League, have worked on Ruth mot wisely but too wel1.'

 They have served 'em high and low, in and out, slow and fast, and yet Babe and his bat keep clouting merrily on to the record. Three years ago Ruth drove out the rnightiest home run swat ever batted at St. Louis. Twice last year his circuit wallop at Detroit set marks for the other sluggers to shoot at- Only the other day he set, for third time, . long distance home run record at De- troit.
 Last season he amazed Washington fans by @ home run Wallop off Wal ter Johnson that has never been equal1ed for distance. He holds the same record at Philadelphia In New York the fans fight to get out to the Polo Grounds to see Babe hit At Fenway Park no drive has ever ap- preached his in length. Even in far off Tampa, where Florida fans gasped as the ball sailed over the fence at the race track, they, point with awe to any place within 100 feet of the spot where his terrific clout dropped the sphere.
 They are still searching for his alley" Now and then Big Babe strikes out and the opposing pitcher, gasping with relief as Ruth walks back to the bench, still ponders OCT his swings and knows that he has Sheen flirting with sudden death And only one man in basebalIdom has found Big Babes weakness. It re- mained for Sid Mercer, noted New York writer, to expose poor Babe, and Mercer's explanation is: "'Tis better to give Ruth four bad balls and one base than one good ball ana -four bases''

MARRIED IN BATHING SUITS
Ceremony Certainly Saved Bride and Groom Considerable Expense in - Wedding Emery.

The funniest wedding ever saw was when camping last summer, writes correspondent of the Chicago Trib- une. A girl friend and her father were there and she met a young man whom she grew fond of in a short time. One night he asked her father for her hand, but father objected be- cause Of the short acquaintance. The next morning the couple met and planned to elope, but somehow father "got wise." so this was spoiled. When swimming that afternoon they met again and the girl happened to men tfon that her father had gone to the village and would not return until eve ming. The boy said: '"This is our time" A minister was on the shore and they went to him and asked to be married at once. The ceremony was performed on the beach. the couple attired in their bathing suits.

DUEL INDEFINITELY PUT OFF
How Wisconsin Congressman Turned Challenge to Deadly Combat
 Into Matter of Ridicule.

The story of the Potter-Pryor duel, the famous challenge of Civil war times whereby a Wisconsin congress- man by ridicule put dueling in disre- pute, recalled by the death of one of the participants, is told in interesting style in the June number of the Wis consin Magazine of History, quarterly publication of the State Historical so- ciety.
 Roger A. Pryor, the Virginia con- gressman who figured in the episode, died a few months ago in New York city. It was he upon whom John Fox Potter of East Troy, Walworth county. then representative of the First con- gressional district of Wisconsin, dur ing April, 1860, brought nationwide rfdicule in answer to challenge to a duel. Congressman Potter offered to fight with bowie knives at a distance of four feet, but Pryor refused because they were "so demnition vulgar"
 Most of Mir. Potter's bowie knives, including the one he purchased for the duel and others sent to him after the affair, are now on exhibit Tn the State Historical museum, Madison.

Indeed, 1t is surprising to learn how widely tree barks are employed as material for clothing the world over.
