The proverbial worm has. turned
for the Sox. but it was too late to
make any difference in pennant hopes
that stirred in the bosoms OF the
Pale Hose late in July when they
thrashed about between second ana
third position for a month.
AS Cor yesterdays 6 to 4 struggle
between the Sox and Nationals,
Harry Hooper and Johnny Mostil, re-
spectiveiy right and center garden
ers for the Chicagoans, put the
game on Ice with a couple of home
runs Zachary was permitted 70
southpaw from start to finish. Stubby
Mack was batted off the hill by the
Nationals in the seventh after giving
the Washiugtonians one hit In SIX
and n fraction innings. Rice, Brewer
and Lapan scored IN the seventh on
four swats, one Of them contributed
by Milan Harris doubled and scored
in the eighth on Goslings single
through short. The Sox opened with
three runs in the first game.
Walter Johnson and Leverette are
the probable slab opponents in the
half holiday bill today.
No one was more surprised than
La Motto when Umpire Bill Guthrie
called him out on strikes in the thlrd
frame of yesterdays game. La Motto
was half way to first when Guthrie
yelled yer out" "What-t-t" howled
La Motto.
StnnIey Harris did gyrations back of
second to get a: Falk's pop fly in the
first. but muffed it for base MT,
Mostil scoring. Stan looked his dis-
gust at Pop" Milan after that.
This BOY Pete Lapan. who halls
from Little Rock, appears to be
conner. He holds up his pitcher and
at the plate shows a willingness to
step into the ball. He may be a
valuable ba ok stop for Clark Grifhth's
ball club next season and he's getting
Il good course OF sprouts now.
Stubby Mack pitched portion OF his

the amount Charley Comiskey. owner

John Doyle, who acts as stakeholder
for important bets on sporting events
in Manhattan, declares that he has not
yet recorded wager. Doyle said he
had a commission of $500 TO bet on
the Yankees from fans who want even
money for their bet. The Giants ad
mirers however, are withholding their
wagers, some of them seeking ! to .
and to 5. The prospect of giving odds
does not appeal to the men who gave
Doyle the commission. the Stakeholder
said. and point to the fact that il will
be short series in which anything Is
liable to happen. Under the circum-
stances Doyle said his clients who favor
the Yankees to win are holding out for
even money.
Many Small WaEers Made.
W. j.. Darrell e Co. reported a wager
OF Sc 900 To 5000 that the Yankees VIII
win the series, aS representing the trend
Of speculative opinion in the hranciai
district Many small bets have been
placed at odds of to 8, with the Yam
KEGS the favorites. but the Giants ad-
mirers have exhibited a tendency to
hold off, awaiting better odds. The Oar
nell firm has $4,000 TO bet against SoOoo
that the Yankees beat the Giants If the
two teams clash in the series, and has d
commission of $4,000 TO wager on the
Giants at odds of ! 10 5.
Fred Schumm. Rrooklyn's barometer
of sporting speculation, reported the
Yankees 6-to-5 choice to defeat the
Giants if the two Manhattan teams mead
their respective leagues at the close or
the season. Schumm reported n wager
of 81 500 to 81 800 on the American
League team to beat the Nationa!
League team in the world series, re-
gardless of the outcome Of the TWO pen
ant races. An even money bet at S5uo
was placed. SChumm said, that the
Giants win the first game of the fall
classic. The first freak bet was re-
corded by Schumn. TOO. He reported a
wager of $500 against $500 that Babe
Ruth hits three home runs during the
series.
Interest in the pennant races of both
leagues also has aroused considerable
speculation in Brooklyn, according to
Schumm. He reported a bet of $500 TO
500 that the Giants win in the National
League, and another of $500 to Slo0 that
the Yankees are triumphant in the Ban

PRODUCTION OF YOUNG TREES
Unless Allowed to Overload, They Will
Not Be Injured by Rather
Early Bearing.

Growers of fruits sometimes are
alarmed because very young trees may
set rather heavy crops of fruit. Since
it is perfectly natural for fruit trees
to bear, they will not be injured by
early production unless allowed to
overload.
AS long as a tree makes a normal
growth, fruit production will not hurt
1t. Peach and plum trees may pro-
duce considerable fruit at two or three
years of age even when only one year
old they sometimes begin bearing.
Under the long system of pruning,
which is now being so generally prac
ticed, there is a tendency for trees to
bear heavily and earlier than
under the old system of heavy cutting
back. 1t has been noticed that despite
rather heavy fruit production at an
early age. such trees will make a fine
growth and apparently there is no In
reference with their general condi-
ton.
While heavy thinning may be desir-
able in the case Of young fruit trees.
they may be allowed to bear some
fruit. md the practice of those who
pull 1t off seems to be unwarranted In
the face Of extended observations.
