NEVADA AT FOOT OF LIST.

Wyoming Comes Next.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 7.-Alabama,
South Carolina and Wyoming made sub
stantial gains in population in the last 10
years, while Nevada, the smallest state
in the union in point of population, be-
came the third state to show decrease.
The census bureau announced yester-
day that Alabama has a population of
>. .345, ,295, an increase of 209,2 ,202 or 9.S
per cent over 1910. The state thus
passed Tennessee in the standing of the
states.
South Carolina has population of
/ ,6S3. .662. which is 16S,262. or Ill per
cent greater than that of 1910. The
state. however. fell short of its relative
growth in 1910 by 2 per cent.
Wyoming, next to the least populous
state, has a population of 194,402, whcih
is an increase of 4S,43T, or 33.2 per cent
compared with the thirteenth census.
The state showed its second largest
numerical growth but its percentage in
crease was the lowest.

the junior league baffied throughout the
game, so far as consecutive bingling was
concerned. With the exception of the
eighth inning, when Grimes temporarily
lost sight of the home plate, Cleveland
never appeared in the light of serious
contender.
The inability of the Indians to connect
with Grimess slants, when hits would
have meant the scoring of runs, is aptly
illustrated by the fact that the Cleveland
clan got IA runners on the bags, of whom
10 were stranded and four retired by sub
sequent plays. The Indians were not
without repeated opportunities to score.
But in every emergency Brooklyn's moist
ball tiinging star met the emergency with
mastery collection of sharp-breaking
slants, or slow breaks, which cut the cor
ners of the plate, or shot in close to the
body of the batter, with the result the
seven hits of the invaders were so seat
tered as to be useless in run producing.
