several days but there had been
no disorders heretofore. Early today
about 400 persons gathered about
the shaft
Pickets destroyed the automobile

the walkout and others entering
the mine had been stoned. State

STUDEBAKERS
SNATCH FIRST
HALF HONORS

It was battle of managers at
Wilson field last night as the
Studebakers outpointed the Coca
Colas to win 81 decision and
annex honors Tor the champion
ship of the first half of the night
ball league season. Incidentally it
was the longest game of the cur
rent Season going IA innings before
the Mechanics finally pushed over
the winning score
Manager Birchfield of the Coca
CoIas scored the first run of the
game in the fifth and put his
team in the lead which was main
tanned until the last of the ninth
when Manager Leon Lee of the
Mechanics did his stuff and evened
matters.
Birchfield beat out a bunt in the
fifth inning. Wakefield and O'Brien
were strikeout victims but Hum
phrey smacked out sizzling dou-
BILE which brought Birchfield home
with the run. Both teams then
settled down to the even tenor of
their way and 1t looked as if this
one Coca Cola tally would win the
ball game.
In the last of the ninth, how
ever, the Mechanics got peaved
Shawn, first man up was safe on
an infield error and took second
on a passed ball. Lee who was
batting for Swanberger followed the
call of opportunity and laced out
a single which brought Shawn in
with the trying marker. The Stu
debakers could not get Lee around
the bases and so the count had
to remain knotted until the four
teenth.
In this frame Brewer doubled
and Gene Forshey singled. With
men on third and second and none
away everything looked rosy for
the Mechanics and when Austin
hoisted a long fly to center field,
Brewer scored the winning run
from third on the thrown after
the catch.
The game was extremely we'll
played throughout and a capacity
crowd was on hand to cheer their
favorites The victory gives the
Mechanics the right to play win
ners of the second round for the
league championship at the close
of the season.

ming straight through the pitchers
box to second.
"You see, it's the cricket in their
blood. In the game batsmen carry
their bats. and after hitting a ball,
run directly ahead to the opposite
wicket. And you can't break 'em
of the habit. Their father and
grandfather and great-grandfather
ran straight ahead, and tiAy do it
by instinct"
What about sliding? Couldn't Mr.
Muirhead teach the Englishmen tC
hit the dirt?
mo. Definitely no. In the first
place they refuse to run fast
enough to make a slide, and in the
second they say it isn't cricket
that it's taking advantage of the
opposition. Furthermore, hey say
sliding would jolly well bump
them"
What about the hitting?
"They hit pretty well. They
should hit alright for in my 16
years I've had only one pitcher who
| could throw curve. And it was
! pretty sorry roundhouse, at that.
Most of the pitchers insist on using
the same motion as cricket bowler
you know, that overland busi-
ness"
Muirhead, who besides attempting
to teach the English the game pro-
notes weekly games between teams
made up of Americans in London
orchestra plkJers, vaudevillians,
bank clerks, and touriSts-believes,
however, that baseball would pay in
this country as spectacle.
THE English, while they can't
play it, like to watch it. I'm posi-
tive that if I could bring enough
college players or semi-pros over
here to form four team league,
the game would go over. Occasion
ally I put on game between the
Rhodes scholars at oxford and a
team from a visiting battleship, and
it always draws a good crowd. The
English, especially the middle class,
like the atmosphere at ball game.
It's relief from the formality that
surrounds cricket"

BAER OFFERED
APRIL BATTLE.

NEW YORK, July e. U.P)-Max
Baer, heavyweight champion and
embryo vaudevillian, may make his
first defense of his title on foreign
soil, his manager, Ancil Hoffman,
has revealed.
Hoffman is considering an offer
of Frank Wilson, race track owner
of Hamilton, Bermuda, to stage a
no-decision fight between Baer and
an unnamed opponent there next
April. Wilson has offered to post
guarantee equal to 40 per cent of
the Baer- -Carnera gate.
The mo decision" part of it would
enable Baer to escape his contract
with Madison Square Garden,
which holds rights to the first title
defense. A knockout would be the
only way the title could change
hands. Hoffman said if the money
is up, Raer will fight. The oppo-
nent would be named 80 days be-
fore the date of the bout.

Is grapefruit a safer or more desir-

Are reliable technical laboratories

! ing or washing.
Provided that said prohibited uses
herein named from time TO time
during the existence of said emer-
gency may be added to or changed

of this Council, or by proclamation
of the Mayor of said City upon
recommendation of the City Engi-
neer; and power is hereby vested in
said Mayor for such purpose; and
provided further that this proclama-
ton and order or other proclams-
tions made pursuant there to shall
not operate or be effective beyond
the existence of said emergency, the
determination of which shall here
after be found and proclaimed by
this Council.
Willful failure to observe this Or
der or proclamation as we'll as 9TH
er orders or proclamations made
pursuant hereto shall be deemed
cause for disseminating water serv-
ice to the consumer guilty of such
failure
The clerk is hereby authorized
and directed to cause this procla-
nation to be published as follows;

RANCES OF CURIOUS APHID
ALARMING TO MAPLE OWNERS

Home owners who have soft NAPLES
in their yards and along the streets
in front OF their homes have been
alarmed this season because of the
honeydew and blush, waxy filamentS
that have dropped on the sidewalks
and porches, according to DR.. E. N,
Cory, Maryland State entomologist
This disagreeable and unsightly depo-
sition, he says. comes as a result of
an unusually heavy infestation by the
alder blight aphid.
This is a very curious insect. DR.
Cory states. 1t lives in Winter in the
SwampS on common alderS and mi
CRATES in the Spring to the undersides
of the leaves Of soft naples. Here
the winged stem mothers rapidly pro-
duce living young until the entire leaf
surface is covered with plant lice.
They begin at once to develop long,
waxy filaments as a protective cover
ing over the colony. At this time the
colony with its covering of wax re-
sembles a mass of fluffy cotton lint
The wind breaks of portions of this
wax, which float down to the ground,
covering sidewalks and porches, and
the excess sap sucked up by the plant
lice from the leaves is excreted in the
form of a sticky, molasses like mixture
known as honeydew.
On small trees it is possible to spray
with Black Leaf 40, one part to five
parts of water, to control the insect,
the State entomologist states. How
ever, late in the Summer, he says
there usually is development Of par
asites and predators that reduce the
number of plant lice. Then when the

trades in 1910 received say cents per
hour and common labor Just a frac-
ton under l8 cents. On a yearly
average basis these rates reached a
peak in 1880 with a skilled labor rate
Of 81 .38 per hour and q common labor
average rate Of 56 cents per hour
The average rates given for 1888 are /:
Skilled labor, $1,000; common labor
$0.4562.
In 1874 carpenters in New York
were paid % cents per hour for a 10
hour day. The lowest rate on record
for carpenters was II cents per hour
for l0-hour day In 1879: the high
est, $1.65 per hour for an 8-hour day
In 1880. The rate for 1888 is given as
$l.37l2 per hour.
Bricklayers, for an 8-hour day In
1874 received $3.44, or 43 cents per
hour. In 1876 to 1880 this rate
dropped to 81 cents per hour The
peak rate for bricklayers, $1.921a per
hour. came in 1880. The 1888 rate
was $1.572.
Common labor, working 10 hour a
day, was paid IA cents an hour in
1874. This rate dropped to IL cents
per hour in 1878. The peak for COM
mon labor likewise came in 1890,
when the rate was $103 per hour.
The 1888 rate was 721z cents, a gain
of cents per hour over 1882.
Volume Drops in 1888.
Construction volume, using 1926
levels as 100 for the basis of compari-
son, dropped to IS in 1888 from a
high of l39 in 1929. On the same
basis this record places 1888 construc-
tion volume almost on par with the
1918 volume, which was A. In
studying the variation In construction
volume the editors of Construction
Costs say, it Is interesting to note that
If the volume of construction between
1918 and 1888 had increased by a
uniform amount each year instead of
going through its actual depressions
and peaks, the 1888 volume would be
practically the same as the actual
volume In 1926.
