 Swift descent of the world cham pion St. Louis Cardinals from sec ond to fifth place in the National league drew attention today to a red-hot struggle for second place between no less than four teams.
 While the Giants, like their fel- low townsmen. the Tanks In the American league. had good hold on first place. the next four teams in the national circuit were punched so closely a cap would cover them.
 The four are. the Cubs, Phlls, Pirates and Cards. named in the or der of their present rank behind the Giants. Between the first and last 9, this quartet just 21 points inter vene.
 A single defeat is enough to send one of the four down several steps and that is what happened to the Cards when they lost their last en- gagement yesterday by an 8 to l count to the Braves while Pittsburgh was trouncing the league-leading Giants, 13 to G. Chicago was beat ing Brooklyn. to 4 and the Phils were idle.
 Wee Willie Sherdel was the victim in this surprising upset and the fans had the rare experience of seeing the little slow ball king batted clear out of the box in the seventh.
 Larry Benton for Boston was working well enough to hold the champs to eight hits and he added a double of his own in the sixth that tallied three runs and helped start his rival hurler on the path to the club house.
 The Giants defeat by Pittsburgh was nearly as crushing. though it did not seriously threaten the New Workers lead. In this first appear ance at the Polo Grounds, the Cor sairs crashed out IS hits off three pitchers while Vic Aldridge held the Giant bats to just half that num- Der. Joe Harris, Pittsburgh first sacker, had a perfect day at bat with four bingles and pass in five at- tempts. The home run sluggers were Wright and Traynor of the vic tors and Doc Farrell, the youthful Giant
 Charley Roots pitching. plus loose Brooklyn fielding, gave the Cubs the victory that carried them from fourth to second place. It was Roots sixth victory of the season.
 A shakeup in the American league also took place when the Tigers made their hits count to defeat Washington to 3. and the Browns outslugged the Red Sox for an to decision. The Senators thus sank from fourth to tie with Cleveland for next to last, while Detroit and St Louis were deadlocked in fourth position. Disputes with the umpires featured the Detroit game and one man of each team was banished for talking back, Whitehall famed ten Senators. The high spot at Boston was the batting of "Bing" Miller. of the Browns who made four hits, one q homer. in five times up and boost ed his average to .446 for the sea- son.
 Eddie Collins, now with the Ath- letics. was handed wrist watch, diamond stickpin and base on balls by his old teammates at Chicago before rain ended the game in the second inning.

But you know Mrs. Coyote had been

screaming of Sammy Jay and the

her. She was so hurried that she

WHEN WE co
SHOPPING.
BY MRS. HARLAND II. ALLEN.
0ne-Price Stores,

Recently a shopper from European
shores complained about the practice
of American stores in adhering to one
price. She was familiar with the Eu-
ropean custom of pickering with shop
keepers until she had obtained a price
which she felt to be the lowest obtain.
able. Her inability to resume that
practice .over here" discouraged her.
1t Is only matter of common sense
to realize that one-price policy bene-
fits every one, retailer and shopper as
well. Unless a store knows what it
can sell an article for, it Is not in a po-
sition to know what to buy for. Every
thing becomes matter of hit or miss.
The result is that merchandise is not
sold at its real value. 1t is sold rather
at the highest price that one can OBJ
tain. AS one shoppers bargaining
ability exceeds another's, she will buy
for less than her less fortunate neigh
bors. Soon the store tries to palm off
inferior merchandise and only the eX-
pert shopper can ever hope to secure
honest value for her money.
The one-price store assures all shop.
pers of equal and honest values. The
store buys to sell at a price that will
be of advantage and profit to ALL BY
selling it's entire stock at that price,
every shopper is enabled to buy at the
most favorable price. Merchandise Is
unvarying in quality, and the shopper
need not beware" as she must else.

Of course, one can never be sure
whether one is paying the asking price
or the holding price in a two-price

Mrs. Coyote Hurries.
We very seldom count the cost
Until we know thing Is lost.

Mrs. Coyote lay hidden In the tall
grass back of Polly Chuck's home.
Polly Chuck had run over to rub
noses with Johnny Chuck, who was
living in another house nearby for
the time being. The four young
ChuCks had scattered in search of
sweet clover. 1T was very clear that
they didn't suspect danger at all. Be-
cause they could see Old Man Coyote
far out on the Green Meadows they
we're unafraid. Johnny Chuck and
Polly Chuck were both watching
them. They had forgotten all about
Mrs. Coyote. If Johnny Chuck had

direction in which she had gone when
she parted with Old Man Coyote be.
fore he had come over to scare all
the Chuck family into their under
ground houses.
Mrs Coyote could feel her mouth
water as she kept her eyes fixed on
the latest of the four young Chucks.
She felt sure that she was near
enough now to catch him before he
could get to the safety of his home.
But she wanted two, one for herself
and one for Old Man Coyote. SO she
waited, hoping that two would after
a while feed together.
Now all this time Sammy Jay had
known nothing of what was going on.
He had seen Farmer Browns Boy and
Bowser the Hound go down the Long
Lane out onto the Green Meadows.
He had seen this from the Old Or
