NEW TRAP FOR
 ANIMALS LOOKS
 BEFORE SPRINGS

WASHINGTON, Sept 15.-A trap that can be set to catch only anil mals of a certain weight, and is harmless to smaller animals or birds has been invented by Albert M. Day of the Department of Agri- culture.
 An adjustable spring makes it possible to set an ordinary steel trap to spring only when wolves, bobcats, coyotes and other preda- tory animals of similar weight step into it.
 The new attachment is designed to prevent loss of time and effort when traps set in carefully-chosen spots for predatory animals are sprung by rabbits, porcupines, foxes and other comparatively small and inoffensive creatures. These un- wanted victims often warn the larger animals away and make the trap site worthless for a long time.

NEW YORK, Sept. 15.-Every time George Herman Ruth goes up to the plate, scratches his spikes in the hatter's box, tucks down his cap as the crowd roars, and waves his hickory wand nine worlds series records either will tumble automatically or tremble, and 13 others will be in danger
 That is all that Ruth, the great est slugger in baseball history, once one of the games best left-handed pitchers, and certainly the out- standing gate attraction of all times, means to the game he has played for worlds championships more than any other ball player. Series No. 10
 The first time the Big Bam" trots out with his funny mincing stride to take up his cudgel in the opening game at the Yankee Stadium, one record will topple with that motion alone. This is the tenth worlds series for the Babe.
 The first three of these he saw as a pitcher for the Boston Red Sox in 1915, 1916, and 1918 and even then he set up records. His mark of 29 successive scoreless in- nings in series competition has never been equalled or surpassed.

BY HENRY McLEMORE
United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, June 3.-For a team
that was the peoples choice to
snatch the flag, the New York
Giants are behaving very strangely
these days, floundering round in
the cellar and needing two full
games from the Phutile Phillies to
get out.
This ability TO get nowhere al 4
rapid pace was laughed eff for 4
while but now, with some eight
weeks Of a 22-week season gone
by, the customers are demanding
TO know why. Try and answer that
one. Il won't help any to HE your
self out 70 the Polo grounds Tor
peek at the club. For standing out
there on the field. their white
flannels creased, their shoes shined,
the New York entry looks very
much the ball club.
The Giants misery is a tough
one TO diagnose. Take the team
apart, one position at a time, and
at the end Of the examination
you'll have to admit that the
Giants, on paper at least, are the
class OF the league.
There's nothing wrong with the
catching. The pitching staff boasts
some OF the finest talent in the
circuit. The infield of Colonel
Terry, Critz, jackson and Vergez-
well, try and name a better bal
anced combination. And the out
field, save for the high priced piece
Of furniture by the name Of Koe-
necke, is tops.
McGraw Too Tough
But winning leam o.; paper is
a different mess Of spinach tnan
one on the field. I have heard it
said that McGraw. reared in the
old school, has antagonized his
players by treating them exactly
as he did the red-necked mugs OF
Is years or more ago. And that the
Giants, most Of them intelligent,
well-bred and refined gentlemen,
resent the old mans attitude.
This. OF course, is hearsay, just
as the yarn concerning Freddie
Lindstrom and his peeve against
Little Napoleon As I heard It
McGraW, familiar with the old type
Of player VINO made all sorts Of
excuses to escape play, forced Lindy
back into action before his game
leg healed. And Indy. resenting
both the hint that he was dog
ging' it, and the fact that ne was
made TO play on leg that hurt
him, refused to do his best.
I've also heard that McGraw has
I lost a great deal Of his enthusiasm
for the game, and doesn't care a
whole lot whether the Giants win
or lose.
But granting that the McGraw of
1882 isn't the McGraw Of the dim
dear days beyond recall, it's hardly
fair 10 place all the blame on his
shoulders. For Terry and Walker
and Hubbell and OFT and all the
rest, are grown men, skilled in their
profession and smart enough to
realize that winning brings more
reward than losing. Why, then,
don't they 60 out and win?
