RAINY SEASON IN PHILIPPINES

 At last the ran A typhoon has run amok in the China sea. Great cloudbursts descend contemptuousiy upon us and our precious garden seems doomed to watery destruction. How greedily the thirsty free-ferns drink standing erect the while as old soldiers at arms All the outer world is hidden in gray, sulien mist An elephant's-ear cracks ts huge leaves with a sound like the guns of firing funeral squad.

Since the start of the home stay which was inaugurated on July ?, the Barons have played 17 games to decisions and one to draw. Of the 17 decision battles the Moleymen have garnered 1S victories, the other four games being noted on the wrong side of the percentage column. A queer coincidence occurs when it is found upon resorting to the records that the league leading Chic asaws have made the identically same record in the same space of time.
 Barons Are Gaining.
 From the above statement it would appear that the Barons have accom- plished nothing during their stay, but the opposite is the truth. The locals have raised their percentage which was .556 on July to an even 800, an advance of 40 points. Dur ing the same period the Memphians have increased their percentage of .676 on July 1 to .692, raise of only 16 counters. However, the Barons can never overtake the Abbottmen if the league leaders do not drop few games once in a while.
 During their winning spurt the Magic City delegation has accumu- lated total of 107 runs, an average of 6.29 counters per pastime. This is almost exactly twice the amount of tallies scored by their opponents namely 54 runs or an average of 3.lS runs per game The locals have used their 1S0 hits for practically twice the number of runs their antagonists have manipulated 136 bingles to ob- tain. This conclusvely proves that the great base running and inside baseball practiced by the Barons greatly overshadows the work oi slugging alone.
 Memphis Coming Friday.
 A great opportunity for the locals to close their home stay with very brilliant climax will present itsei

Friday when the Chickasaws come to the Magic City for a three game serles, If the Barons cop all three games the Dixie major flag fight will take on a much closer aspect. The lead of the Memphis crew which now amounts to eight and one-hait games could easily be wiped out if the Chicks were to hit the skids for only a few days, that is provided the Barons continue the brand or ball which they have been displaying of late.
 With Earl Whitehill and Phil Nor rison on the mound against the iead- CTS in the double header Friday twin win for the Barons is not such a remote possibility as some might think The left handler Is at the top of his form and as he has made trouble for the Abbottmen all this season it would only be fitting for him to start the Barons off to sue cessful series against the Tennes- l seeans. Morrison should be right Friday and when he is right he can cope with the best in the league.

After dtckering several days, | just about had 'em in the notion of selling the kid to me for 5000.
 'l was in the office fixing to sign the papers for his transfer one morning, when in walks a messenger boy with a telegram from McGraw, asking what price would be set on Traynor. Mack, too, had got line on thf young steI, When the Richmond mo- euIs saw this wire they got their heads together and decided they had been to hasty in deciding to accept my offer.

 This high demand got my head swimming a bit Ten thou sand dollars for prospect who l had no assurance would make good his first year out was too much for me. l grabbed my kelly and decided to get the air and think the thing over for awhile.

 While 1 was looking Pie over further, and seeking to make up my mind to boost the offer a bit, Clarke Griffith, who had heard of the sensational kid, blew in from Washington. Clarke. with out waiting to see him in more than one game, stalked into base ball headquarters and asked the price on the fellow When told $l0,000 was the minimum the old fox grabbed his hat and beat it back to Washington.

 One for the Book
 When Frank Haller was down here the other day, he spilled one of the best baseball yarns un- corked in this section in some time, according to Rick Wood ward. According to Frank, Barney Dreyfuss, boss of the Pirates, was In Chicago some time after Charlie Weeghman bought the Cubs. Mir Weeghman had just startled the baseball world by paying a big price for Grover Alexander and his bat tery- mate, Killifer. And the pa pers were carrying stories to the effect that Weeghman was offer ing s50,0o0 for Hornsby.
 Barney accosted Weeghman on the street and said; Say Charlie. l see where you're offering $50,- 900 for Hornsby. Awful bad busi- ness. II makes ball players stuck up and hard to handle
 Mir. Weeghman replied: "Oh. that's just a bit of advertising I'm getting. Free publicity, you know. Why, Barney I'm sur prised at the ignorance of an old head like you about these fake rumors. You often see in the pub lie prints where a turfman has offered s50,O00 for horse he never intends to buy"
 Barney struck characteristic pose, and threw up his hands in exasperation. Yes he shouted, but the horses don't read the papers"
