New York is having too much trou-

over and the players are wondering
why the fans are bringing the rasp~
berry wreaths to the park when they
need a hand to get through the tight
places.
The Polo Ground fans are turning
. against the Giants. They chirp "one
out" when the first man comes up ana
follow it with "two out" when the next
batter steps to the plate The team
is going so badly that the prediction Is
right the majority Of the time: -.
Many of the experts who lnhaDlt
the press box are losing hope for an.
other New York series and many OF
ehem believe that Pittsburgh and st.
Louis will entertain in the fall classic.
The Pirates are hitting the ball and
getting fine pitching and they have
not been bothered with the strain OF
carving the lead for two-thirds OF
the way. The Giants, unless some
thing drastic is done to get them on
their feet, are going down, and the 81.

Stories about funny business IN the

Watching The ScorebOard

Yesterdays hero-Cy Perkins hit a
homer in the eighth inning and the
Athletics beat the white SoX, 4-S.
Fine base running, coupled with err
ratio and stupid playing by the Giants
gave the Reds 80 victory over New
York.
Babe Ruth hit his twenty-frst hom-
err and helped the YankS win from the
Tigers, SO.
Boone, rookie pitcher, held the
Red Sox safe all the way and the In
dians won, 7-3.
The Senator's scored four runs IN
the first inning, but the Browns kept
pounding at Walter Johnson until they
got an SO victory.
Grover Alexander drove in two runs
with a single and won his own game
for thu Cubs beating the Robins, 60.
The Cards went back into first place
by splitting a double-header with the
Braves. The Cards lost the first, so,
and won the second, 60.

NeWlyWeds Take e--Adyice on Ways Of Managing Furnace

Washington, Feb. g3. - Advice to operators of house heating furnaces, who under the keen urge of chill blasts of winter have applied to the bureau Of mines for a solution of diff Gculties experienced in caring for their fires overnight, is given in a statement made today by O. P, Hood, chief mechanical engineer of the bu- reau.
 There are several ways of manaE- ing a furnace, as there arc several ways of driving d horse, says MT, Hood. The general principle is quite obvious, but that principle can be ap- piled in different ways. In the pro- cess of combustion, two quantities must be supplied-coal and air. The coal one pays for, the air one gets for nothing, but the quantity Of air re- ouired in weight is from twelve to twenty times as much as the quantity

 Lady Shackleton's decision to halt removal of the body to England is in accordance with lifelong wish of the explorer that he be laid to rest amid the scenes where his life work had been carried on. Only at the outset of his last voyage, he told friends he wanted "to die with his boots on, like an old sea-dog."

 Of coal required. If one had to pay for air he would pay a great deal more attention 10 the supply Of this necessary material. Mir, Hood says.
 Some Methods
 Given a bed of coals that are req hot. the fire will burn just in propor- ton as air Is fed through the fnei bed, The question of keeping a Ire over night, Hood aMerts. is one of having bed Of fuel large enough 70 that at least the center of 1t csn keep red hot without being chilled by the cold sides Of the furnace, or the cold ash pit below, 1T absolutely no air was fed through the fuel bed. In time the fire would go out because of loss of heat, The problem, then, is to feed just air enough through the fuel to maintain temperature.
 The ash pit Of most furnaces leaks enough air so that if there was . considerable draft or suction above the fuel he'd produced by the chim- ncy. more air would leak into the ash pit and up through the fuel bed than enough 10 simply maintain the tenn perature, NIT, Hood explains. Too much air fed through the fire would burn up the coal and the fire would not keep. The problem. then. is to cut down the flow Of air through tho fuel bed. This can be done in num- erons ways; one can put on | large amount of coal and cover the top with very fine coal. or even with ashes. This increases the resistance through the fuel he'd, 50 that only small amount of air flows.
 Another Way
 Another way. and good way too, according to Mir. Hood, is to allow ashes 10 accumulate on the grate to add 10 the resistance of the How of air. While this is a good way in mild weather it is not so good in severe weather. because one cannot get aa much coal into the fire box. and 1t is usually best 10 keep tho fire box com pletely filled with fuel. Even when the resistance through the fuel bed is increased, if the draft is maintained there is apt to be too much leakage a fire. By opening the check draft so that air can flow up the chimney without flowing through the fuel bed, the air passing through the fuel bed is greatly reduced. It makes little difference whether this is done by opening the check draft in the chimney, or done hy opening the damper in the door. allowing the air to flow above the fuel bed. In the latter case, however, the air is drawn through the boiler and helps to cool off the boiler in addition to checking the flow of air through tho fuel bed.
