EPISODE III
The Polish Grounds

COME 10000 persons either quit work early or didn
y have any work quit for they were draped all over
the stands getting eyeul of the contest between the
Yapks and Detroit. 1t great game, but some OF
the scenes had been lifted bodily from Shibe Park
Connie should get and make the 1anks stop steal
ing his stuff. .
The opposing teams were pretty decent about. it,
because neither side scored while were absent Then
they put on couple of scoreess stanzas and after
ward staged Mackian skit. This done perfectly
and without slip. First the Ianks won the ball game
and then lost it, Even Babe Ruth couldn't help, al
though he inserted triple in some inning and scored
afterward
This according Al Munro Elias, who always picks
strangers the twenty second consecutive game
the Babe had hit safely in his average for those
contests was .42O or something like that.
Tyrus Cobb and his bum leg really won the battle,
for Tyrus asked get out of box seat in the fifth
inning don uniform and pinch hit single in the ninth
But that is neither here there.
THE moral Of this episode is that other home
clubs besides can lose ball games N tnH

CARMAN AND BEDELL BRING
BIKE VICTORY TO AMERICA
United States Riders Take First and Second Respectively
International FortyMile Grind against Italy
Ten Thousand See Races

A MOTHER victory for America In
\ the long list Of 1920 international
sporting events was chalked up at the
Point Breeze velodrome last night when
Clarence Carman, the worlds cham
pion, and Menus Bedell, the grand old
man of the bicycle game, carried the
Stars and Stripes to triumph over
Vincenzo Maddona and George Colom-
batto, representing Italy, In a forty
mile motorpaced race.
More than 10000 persons saw the
two American riders finish first and
second, gaining eight points for the
United States. Madd6na and Colom-
batto rode gamely to the end, but were
forced to take third and fourth places,
respectively. In justice to the Italians,
IL must be stated that both were handi-
capped by tire and motor trouble.
Paced by the peerless Jimmy Hunter,
Carman rode the forty miles in the re :
markable time of 81 minutes and 5S
seconds, which Is approximately forty
five miles an hour. Never once in the
long grind did his front wheel leave the
motor. He was out In front at the very
start and led Bedell to the finishing
line by four laps. III Carman nau caI

Steadily increasing rentals are be-
ing demanded by the owners of houses
Of all kinds, and the person who has
not large income is finding 1t more
difficult to find comfortable home for
himself and his family. While these
families, perhaps, cannot afford to
build an elaborate house, there are
many designs that will provide home
that will suit their needs and their
pocketbooks.
Such home is shown In the accom-
panying Illustration. Here is house
that Is attractive in exterior appear
ance, contains five good-sized rooms,
conveniently arranged, and can be
built for moderate sum. 1t is one

the porch roof; the series of four win
dows In the living room; the fireplace
chimney. the terrace with, the brick
floor and the porch, with its brick col
umn supports, and the shlngled walls
all are features that combine to make
this design attractive.
The dimensions of the house are 40
by 20 feet with an 8-foot projection
for the front porch. The house is Of
standard frame construction set on a
brick foundation wall The basement
is fully excavated-that is, extends I'M
der the whole house, and provides am
Pile room for the furnace, fuel stor-
age and for rooms that can be devot-
ed to storing food and the many other
articles that usually find their way to
the basement.
While. the interior arrangement Is
somewhat out of the ordinary, study
Of the floor plans will demonstrate
that the rooms are placed so that the
work can be done easily and that the
occupants will find living in the house
comfort. The five rooms consist of
living and dining rooms, kitchen and
two bedrooms, besides the bathroom.

GRAIN CARS WERE PLUGGED"
Inscriptions Shippers Detected In
Practice of Placing Inferior
Corn on Bottom.

Heavy loading Of grain, due to
shortage of cars. offers a temptation
to the INSCRIPTIONS shipper to plug
his load by placing inferior grain on
the bottom of the load to escape de-
lection, according to reports received
by the bureau of markets. United
States department of agriculture.
When the car is heavily loaded 1t is
sometimes difficult for grain inspec-
tors to reach the bottom Of the car
with the ordinary grain trier.
Federal grain supervision offices re-
port a few recent discoveries Of this
practice. In one case a car Of corn
which the Inspector had graded No. 2
mixed was found to have about III
feet OF musty, heat-damaged corn on
the bottom of the car. The supervis-
ion grade was No. 8 mixed on account
Of musty odor. % per cent heat dam
aged and IL per cent total damaged.
In another instance about IL feet
of very musty wheat was found on
the bottom Of a car Of wheat which
otherwise graded No. ], free from
smut.
While this practice Is BY no means
common. Inspectors have been warn
ed to be careful to get representative
samples and to be especially particu-
lar when sampling heavily loaded
cars.
