 Staffords second Sunday game at home, which resulted in a to 2 win for the Wickwire nine of Palmer, fol- lowed a shower and was followed by a shower. In other words, the game, which was hummer, was played be- meath threatening skies and between "weeps." The guests got away to an excellent start by sending three men around the circuit in the first frame. A pass, a couple of singles, stolen bases and advances on putouts did the trick. They were blanked each inning from then on till the ninth when they scored fourth counter. Though they made six hits, received a pass and had one of their men struck by the pitcher, the locals totaled only two tallies, one in the fourth and one in the fifth. There is no getting away from the fact that Girard, who pitched for the visi- tors, was good. He famed nineteen and passed only two. Being a south paw, he had Stafford's left hand bat ters, with the exception of Madsen, at his mercy. Stafford was able to get men onto bases, but they had no man to depend upon to send out a clout when one was sorely needed. The

 One of the best games that the Staff ford team has played this season was that which took place Saturday after noon in Hyde Park when they were defeated, 3 to 2, by the Chapman Valve Works nine, of Indian Orchard, Mass. The game moved rapidly from start to finish. The guests opened upright off by sending out two-bagger and single in the first inning which re- made another run by way of pass, an error and a one-base hit Their final run was sent in in the ninth when their fourth hit during the whole game was made Cerago, perhaps, never showed better form than in this game He allowed only four hits and passed but one while he retired nine on strikes. He has been growing stronger in each game of late and surely looked fine Saturday. His team mates hit we'll, gathering ten in all, but when hits were most needed they seemed unable to connect. AS it was they made one tally in the fourth and the other in the fifth. Score:

IF YOU ARE INTEREST ED IN BUILDING COSTS, read the following con- tributed to a. leading fi- nancial paper, by one of largest construction conn., panies in the country.

"A great many manufacturers and property owners have written us,' ,'' says the Fuller Corp, that they were considering new work, that they wanted to build a needed additional space, but hesitated to begin con- struction because building costs were so high. They have asked us when will building costs be lowerT
 There are three conditions which might bring about a reduction in building costs: 1. A reduction in demand. 2. A reduction in wages of labor. 3. A reduction in price of building materials.
 "A reduction in the demand for ad- ditional construction is highly im- probable, in view of the present short age of building space which has re- suited from slowing down Of com mercial and industrial building during the period of the war.
 "As to the hope for a reduction in building costs due to reduction in wages paid to labor, 1t does not seem probable that the laboring man will be content to to accept any reduction in the size of his pay envelope. His attitude is rather to torce wages to higher planes.
 "The hope for a reduction in the cost of building materials rests very largely on the hope for a reduction in wages, because, for every dollar spent for brick, cement or steel which goes into a building. from S5 per cent to 90 per cent of such price ultimately goes lack to the lal lorer who dug the clay, mined the coal. burned the brick, ground the cement, rolled the steel, and transported all of them over rail- road lines to the site of the work and built them into the structure. Until these related wages go down there fore, it is not reasonable to expect any substantial reduction in the price of luilding materials.
