A fast double play behind COnnOrs and catches by Maloney, Dickey and Reynolds, fea- tured ConnOrs struck out eleven men. The winning run was scored in the thirteenth on a hit by ConnOrs, Kennedy's error and a hit by Pallanck. It was easily the best game of the year

the American habit of acquiring per-

in the upper outside pocket OF sum-
mer coat is another of these fashions
that have interested persons who do
not regard 1t so much as sign OF
efficiency as of national fad. 1t is
difficult to explain away the brief bag
custom: but that of the exposed foun
tain pen can be made clear in a
phrase. It is the abandonment of the
waistcoat in hot weather that impels
men to flourish their writing utensils
in the eyes of the public. and If the
custom needs any defense there it is
at hand.
To the orderly man the reduction
of the supply of pockets by five conse-
quent on leaving off a familiar gar
ment is a nuisance. 1t throws out
OF gear his regularity of habits re-
garding the things he feels he must
carry. To such a man the return
of the waistcoat is boon more gra-
cious than the cooling north wind
which brought it out from the closet.
And in one sense most men agree
with the orderly man in one feeling
at least. This is that they bulge

A Twin Screw Engine.
1t Was Designed by John Stevens
Of HObOken Ab0ut 1910.

To THE NEW York HERALD: Frank
H. Vizetelly in his letter printed July
1s calls attention to the Phoenix, ves-
sci built by John Stevens Of Hoboken
with a single propeller. which made the
first voyage Of a steam vessel from New
York to Philadelphia in 1908.
This calls to my mind a twin screw
engine built by Mr. Stevens which for
more than a, decade was on view In tho
old library of Stevens Institute of Tech
noIogy. remember as a freshman get
view of the contrivance as it rested on
a platform above glass case contains
ing other objects of interest.
The propellers were disks cut from
boiler plate, marked off into three
sectors. and cut down along the edges
of the adjoining sectors to within an
inch and half of the center of the
disk. The blades thus formed were bent
and hammered to the pitch. These pro-
pellers were keyed to two parallel shafts
driven by cog wheels by central shaft
located between them.
This piece Of machinery was shipped
to Chicago In 1893 as part Of the
Stevens Institute exhibit at the worlds
fair. II never came back to the insti-
tute. but 1t is now on view. I am In
formed. at the Smithsonian Institution.
According to Stevens traditions. the ma

Blocking Progress.
Course of Gompers and His Allies
Retards Business Recovery.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: The edi.
torial articles in your paper on the strike
and other things connected with 1t have
been very heartening TO those who are
true Americans. and what you have said
about Gompers. Jewell and their kind
has been to the point. for 1t is these
who misled workingmen who otherwise
would be at work.
They are not good sports. for had they
been they would have accepted the rul-
ings of the labor board and tried to
change them afterward. Secretary MelI
Ions suggestion made some time ago
that the railways be let alone for 1--WE
years to work out their own destiny was
a good one.
Why the mechanics who have been let
out of the navy yards on account of lack
of work don't apply for jobs with the
railroads Is question. They would not
only be protected by the Government but
they would have permanent jobs at good
wages. and the same is true of many
former service men.
At this time when business Is on
the road to recovery and things look
all round 1t seems shame for
the Gomperses and their kind to upset
things, nor do believe that the Ameri-
can people will stand for 1t very long.

AS to Chicken Raising.
Any Kind Of Farming May Pay, but
Bond Buying Is Better.

To THE NEW York HERALD: One Of
your readers wishes to engage in the
poultry business and asks advice on the
subject.

go to roost with the fowls? Can he raise
corn. wheat and hay? An eighty acre

The man that can do things, who does
most OF the work on eighty acres, should
win, whether he raises chickens or some
other product
Yet I recall that In 1867 and 1870 we
got $40 ton for hay. Then the bottom
went out of the hay market and $50

Fishermen's Race Rules.

Changes in the rules for the Inter
national Fishermen's Trophy races
adopted at the committee meeting
held in Portland, Maine, on July %
and the recommendation made to the
trustees of the trophy all point to a
strong desire on the part of the
Canadian and American fishermen to
do their utmost to prevent these
contests from becoming mere sport
ing events.
One of the most important OF the
new regulations lipits the crew on
each schooner taking part IN one Of
these races to thirty members, exclu-
sive Of the observer. and provides
that all of them must be men who
gain their livelihood as fishermen.
The shortening of the time limit of
the race to seven hours instead of
nine, as formerly, is a change tend
ing away from sport and toward sea-
going efficiency. The new division
Of the prize money, by which the
winner will get $4,000 and the second
boat $4,000, instead of $4,000 and
$1,000 respectively, is another evil
dence of a strong desire on the part
Of the trustees and the committee
members to preserve a wholesome
balance in all the aspects of the
races.
The same spirit was shown In the
adoption of a suggestion that a dis
The New York herald., 1922-07-25

placement rule be worked out and
submitted for consideration that will
tend to prevent the building of ex-
treme types of schooners which could
only result in the trophy races be-
coming sporting events instead OF
races between real seageing fishing
vessels. One defect of displacement
rule is that it offers the temptation
to designers to try to evade it, but
after the experience of the Boston
syndicate which built the Mayflower
nobody is likely soon to attempt an
other such evasion by building a
fishing schooner with the lines Of a
yacht.
Since last February II has been
evident that the owners of the May
flower mean to try TO have that
schooner accepted for this years Sc
ries, which is to be held off Glouces-
ter between October 15 and October
25. Several dispatches have appeared
in the newspapers telling of the May
flowers financial success as a fisher
man. But when the trustees of the
trophy were asked by the members
or the American committee at Port
land If the Mayfiower would be ac-
cepted this year IL she won the elimi-
nation race the trustees replied that
as her status had not come before
them they could not give a decision.
They added, however, they would
like the views of the American com
mittee on this point, which would be
considered at the next meeting of
the trustees in Halifax.
If the American fishermen believe
that the Mayfower has demonstrated
that she is real deep water fishing
boat 1t indicates her chances to sail
for the Fishermen's Trophy are look
ing up.

Carland's Choice.

Millions of people the country over
are saying about CHARLES GARLAND
We'll. he had the courage of his
convictions, anyway, but I wouldn't
have done 1t myself" The young
New Englander whose social theories
would not permit him to accept
an inheritance of 100000 from his
father plans to dispose of his for
tune in accordance with those theo-
ries. Several months ago he settled
100000 upon his wife, from whom
he is separated, and now he has an
nounced that the remainder will be
administered by group of lib
erals who have founded the SAmeri-
can Fund for Public Service. GAR.
LAND has kept nothing for himself,
nor is he to be one of the directors
Of the fund.
1t appears that the fund will be
used ito aid agencies which are so
new or experimental that they do not
command general public support" /"
That is somewhat vague. 1t helps a
little to observe the complexion Of the
corporation which Is to administer
the fund. The incorporators and di-
rectors include two members of the
editorial staff of the Nation, two col-
lege professors, the director Of the
American Civil Liberties Union, an
officer Of the Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People, a. rabbi,
a teacher in the Rand School, a set
tlement worker and labor leader.
The future Of the fund is plainly
problematical. 1t may be used to ex-
cellent purpose and in directions
overlooked in the ordinary course Of
philanthropy. 1t is equally possible
that the money may be spent use
lessly and even harmfully.
The point Of interest in this mat
ter. however, is GARLAND himself.
Certainly one cannot condemn him.
There is, indeed, much to admire in
his conduct. But there Is also cause
for pity.
He is not to be condemned be-
cause he has acted in obedience to
his principle that he has no right to
money which he did not earn. He is
to be admired because he had courage
to do what most people in his place
would have found excuses for not
doing. And he is to be pitied be-
cause he apparently lacks the spirit
which would prompt him to take
that 100000 and build and fight
with It according to his lights. In
stead, he leaves the execution of his
ideals to others.

Three New Champions.

Three more international cham
pions are on their way home to Amer
lea. They are WARREN RICE. GEORGE
WARLow and JOSEPH GLAcKEN, the
Maryland youngsters who sailed
for England on June Is to COM
pete in the live stock judging con-
tests at the Royal Stock Show WAR
Rem and GEORGE and JOSEPH were
chosen from among $4,000 American
boys and girls, after series of elfmi-
nation contests conducted by the De-
partment of Agriculture. They de.
feated the English team by more than
200 points.
The young champions can be es-
pecially proud that they won their
titles at the source of most Of the
modern breeds of live stock which
furnish the beef, mutton, pork, milk
and wool for the world. In way 1t
is the sort of victory which Great
Britain would win II she sent over a
baseball team capable Of beating the
winner of the worlds series.
When they get back to Maryland
WARREN and GEORGE and JOSEPH are
going to have lot to say about farm
ing conditions in their native State.
They will be the high arbiters of the
generation growing up on the farms.
These contests which the Department
of Agriculture has been conducting
are very good things. 1t is impor-
tant that the future farmers Of the
country should be stimulated to an
interest in agriculture as keen as that
which made WARREN and GEORGE and
JOSEPH international champions.

Passing of the Sturgeon.

There was time when the flesh of
the sturgeon was sold at Albany for
a few cents pound and the roe OF
the giant fish was fed to hogs or
used as bait. The thought Of those
days was recalled by the recent open
ing of the season when sturgeon may
be taken in the Hudson River. Like
wise it brought to mind the tradition
that once 1t was illegal in Maryland
and Virginia to feed slaves on terra
pin more than twice week. Let
lovers of caviar and terrapin sigh!
The once plentiful sturgeon of the
Hudson are as rare as terrapin.
In those old days the flesh of the
sturgeon was known as Albany beef.
Fish were taken which were six feet
in length and more than 200 pounds
in weight The Hudson, Delaware,
Susquehanna and James rivers were
once favorite resorts of these fish,
which sought the fresh waters in
which to spawn.
The American sturgeon from which
the best caviar Is obtained to-day
are those known as the lake variety.
They are taken in the Mississippi,
Ohio and Allegheny rivers and the
great lakes. Their average weight
is fifty pounds and there is a market
for every one Of them taken. A good
roe sturgeon is valuable prize.
The practical disappearance from
Eastern waters of the-eturgeon, like
the growing scarcity Of the shad, is
to the pollution Of streams.
the destruction of the natural beds Of
the streams through commercial in
dustries and the use Of nets which
take fish of all sizes. The display of
a large sturgeon In the Albany mar
ket would be sensation to-day. AS
it is impossible to take eggs arti-
ficially from the fish the propaga-
tion Of the sturgeon Is slow. Ex-
periments at the Linlithgow station
of the Conservation Commission
we're not successful and they have
been abandoned.
