 Evenly Matched
By Associated Press

New York, October 3.-The worlds series of 1920, the blue ribbon event of baseball to de- eide the championship of Americas national game, will be ushered in at Ebbet's field, Brooklyn, Tuesday.
 The contesting teams, Brooklyn and Cleveland, champions, respectively of the National and American Leagues are perhaps more evenly matched than

CHARGE THAT SOX FAILED TO GIVE BEST
Lynn and Mcclellan Staae That Team Mates Watched
 the Scoreboard to Regu- late Play

They said that as bench warmers most of the season they had studied the players carefully and were convinced the Sox were thrown out of the pen nant.
 ''We lost the pennant because
 certain players-they are among
 the eight indicted by the Cook
 county grand iury--didn't want us
 to win,o Lynn said. "We soon mo-
 ticed how carefully thev studied
 the scOreboard-mOre than even
 the average player does in pen
 nant race-and thnt they always made errors which lost the
 game when Cleveland and New
 York were losing. If Cleveland
 wOn--we won. If Cleveland lost
 we lost. The iden was to keep up
 the betting odds. but not to let us
 win the pennant."
 Mcclellan said he was convinced cer- tain players had deliberately thrown three games in Boston on the last east ern trip.
 Several of the players noticed how they watched the score board he added, land we felt all along that these men were regulating their nlay accord ing to the play of other teams"
 No announcement has heen given as to whether any of the White SoX play CTS will be called before the grand jury when it re-convenes in special session on Tuesday to continue the baseball inquiry. It is believed. however, tha, vol indictments have not been voted will be called to tell their views and give opinions as to the ease of difficulty oi throwing" games.

Now, to get mt the predicting act. Taking everything into c0nsidera- tton. fielding, batting, records of past performances. comparative merits of players and pitching staffs. the writer can't see 1t aay other way than that Cleveland will win the worlds series this year. unless, of course, breaks of the game are decidedly in favor of Brooklyn.
 Breaks or no breaks, the Indians will be hard aggregation to beat this year.

On the other hand, while a steady fielder, Lunte is weak at the bat. IN THE OUTFIELD In the outfield, Cleveland has the ad- vantage. two to one. In leftfield Wheat Brooklyn has decided advantage on the Jameson- -Graney-Evan combination, of Cleveland. In center. Iris Speaker man. ager of the Indians, is far in the lead

Neis and Wood are two reliable understudies of the first two named, and should they get in the series should make themselves heard from. Thus. it cam be seen that honors of four out of eight positions go to the Indians, while three go to the Dodgers. one zbeinx even. Brooklyn has slightly the better ritching staff of the two, having six star moundsmen ready for work at any time and capable of winning with any l kind of support and hitting7 behind them. Cleveland on the other hand, has but four reliable hurlers Bagby, Caldwell. Coveleskie and Nails. The latter has been with the Indiansvso short a time that it is impossible to compute any kind of an average by which to judge his work. but the fact that he las been winning games for | Cleveland speaks for itself of his ef- fectiveness.

ries, they will be in as good conlition physically as it is possible Tor two teams of athletes to be after the strenuous campaigns they have been through. The races in both leagues were not dicided as early as usual Brooklyn winning it's claim to the Ma tional League pennant less than a week before the close of the season and Cleveland capturing the American League title only one day before the close of the season.
 It is almost certain that Manager Speaker will call upon his pitching ace Jim Bagby. in the opening game, un- less Stanley Coveleskie exhibits the better form. Manager Robinson will start either Marquard or Smith in the box, with the chances favoring the former. because of his good pitching in his recent games.

 An interesting feature of the series will be that for the first time in 2 worlds series two brothers will ap- pear as opponents. They are Jimmy Johnston. Brooklyn third baseman. an6 Doc Johnston, Cleveland first base man.
 The Cleveland team is not expected to arrive in New York until Tuesday morning. and it is likely that the Brooklyn club vii extend the courtesy of permitting it's opponents the use of Ebbett's field for blif workout Manager Speakers plan was to tak' his players back to Cleveland after to days game in Detroit and permit then to rest up in their home city unti Monday night.

Saving Of Fuel to Light
Coal Stove Fire at Top

Although coal fire always burns
better especially at the start, when
lighted from the bottom, II has been
found to be much more economical OF
coal If the paper and kindling wood are
placed above the coal, says Popular
Mechanics. A few small Goals and
cinders are spread over the top Of the
kindling wood to enable coal fire to
be started. After the top layer begins
to burn properly the fire will spread
slowly downward II the air draft is
right. This method secures the most
complete combustion because the gases
from the unburned coal at the bottom
must pass through the burning layer
at the top, and thus become completely
burned. 1t is admittedly harder to
build and control this kind Of a fire,
but the saving in fuel often justifles
the extra trouble.

Persia First Country
to Discover the Secret
of Aromatic Substances

The first nation to learn the secret
Of aromatic substances was Persia,
says London Tit-Bits. The priests Of
Egypt were the only people who
studied science at that time and
Egyptian perfumes achieved great
celebrity. especially those made In
Alexandria.
Reserved originally for religious
rites, perfumes subsequently became
of current use among the wealthy
classes. During banquets they were
diffused through the halls and were
burned in profusion.
The Israelites during their sojourn
in Egypt adopted the use OF aromatic
substances, primarily for religious
purposes and afterward for personal
usage. The Jews were fond of cos
metics and even used them to paint
the face.
All these perfumes were extracted
from essences of trees and various
plants. The Greeks, who loved ele'
gance, were especially addicted to the
use Of perfumes. and they taught Their
secrets and usage to the Romans. The
latter, in the days Of their decadence
went so far as TO scent the coats OF
their dogs.
In the middle ages the Arabs, Vene
tians, Genoese and Florentines be
came famous for the preparation OF
sweet smelling essences.

Feeding cottonseed cake to steers as

creases materially the rate of gains
made by the animals, causes them to

in 1915 and 1916
All the experiments were carried out
under actual and typical farm condi-
tons. Consequently the results may
be applied directly in many regions to
the management and feeding Of cattle
on pasture. In each experiment,
groups of steers were kept on pas
ture alone; on pasture with n supple
mentnry feed of one-half corn chop and
one-half cottonseed cake; and on pas
ture with n supplementary feed OF cot
tonseed cake. The average daily gains
for each animal, which may be consid-

The initial cost Of the steers per 1OO
pounds of the three groups was the
same for any one year, but In each

Serbian Families, Once
Rich, Now Make Homes in
Barns and Chicken Coops

In northern Serbia many families,
wealthy before the war, have been
found bv officers of the American Re-
lief administration and the American
Red Cross living In stables and chicken
coops.
Their homes had been destroyed by
the advancing or retreating armies.
Now their beds were heaps of straw
covered with burlap. II was all that
remained as furniture in their once
pretentious estates. Penniless and
with no clothing except what they
wore, these people returned in pitiable
condition. Many Of the refugees made
their way across Serbia in makeshift
garments Of burlap bags, which had
contained American food sent to re

The condition Of the Serbian peas

OF INTEREST TO
POULTRY GROWERS

For years it was contended by au-
thorities that II was useless even to
use nest eggs as attractions to hens,
that biddy, like the cow, could not be
deceived. The non-professional for in
stance, rigidly adhered to the old-time
idea that nest eggs were requisite.
Prof. George NJ Turpin, of Iowa Uni
versity, in q bulletin called the NEST
ing Habits of Hens" gives prominent
place to the use of Nest Eggs" He
starts out with the statement that no
data had been established as to
whether the nest egg influenced biddy
or not. He made careful test, placing
40 hens in house and prepared 10
nests for them, some with China eggs,
others hen product, and others again
with no nest eggs. The result Of bid
dy's choice was 214 fresh eggs In the
China bait, 200 In the natural attrac-
ton and 10S In the nests with no cam
outage, showing .35, AT, and IT per
cent respectively. The conclusion Is
that hens like nest eggs and prefer the
natural one.
