In contrast to all this was the
discouraging setback that was Civ
en- efforts of the ball players to
secure a motor grass cutter from
the local WPA to NOW the four
foot high grass on Navy Field. AT
present work is being done with
two dull lawn mowers, which hard.
ly respond to rigorous pushing
around, and a motor grass cutter
which has seen its best days and
exhibits firm desire to see no
more bustling days. Only when
its lone spark plug is heated and
filled with gas does the antique
gather enough energy to run
awhile. Then it usually stops for
"a long rest. 1t is the understand
ing of this column that not only
was the WPA grass cutter refus-
ed local ball players, but quite a
remonstrance was made them for
even daring to suggest such a
thing. Meanwhile, outfielders,
vainly trying to find their way
from the outfield to the players
bench, are daily reported "lost in
action"

ONE FOOLISH RULE:

The present legality which al
lows a runner on third to score on
a passed ball from the catcher is
a really hurtful local diamond
ball ruling. Everyone knows that
it is much harder to control dia-
mondabll pitching than baseball
pitching, and there are sometimes
double or triple the passed balls
in the, former type of pitching.
For this reason there is no rule in
diamondball play in the leagues of
Miami which allows a runner to
score on a passed ball behind the
plate. This rule has been only
recently innovated locally and ac-
counts a great deal for the high
scores daily reported. An agree
ment of the managers of the three
teams of the local league should
be affected in the very near fu-
ture.

SOX FOR SECOND PLACE IN
AMERICAN LEAGUE

NEW YORK, Sept. 19.-The
Chicago Cubs continued to battle
their way to the TOP yesterday aft
ernoOn. By whipping the St.
! Louis Cardinals in the only game
played in the National League,
the Windy City Tribe took over
second place, half-game ahead Of
the Gashouse Gang, and reduced
the Giants lead over them to five
full games. ''"" ~. '4"
The great Lon Warneke was On
the mound for Charlie Grimms
team and held. the Redbirds to but
three safeties, while his, teammate !;
were pounding four Cardinal
pitchers for nine hits, to win the
game, to 0. 1t was Warneke's
third shutout victory in row.
Again the lowly st. Louis
DI ONlS ucIcdCcu LilC SCNOIiO-pAoN~
Chicago White Sox. The score
was close, to 5. Both teams col
lected ten safe blows but the
White Sox committed three mis-
cues, while the Browns played en-
rOrless ball.
And again the World Champion
Detroit Tigers whipped the ever
strong Cleveland Indians. With
Tommy Bridges on the mound
for Mickey ,Cochrane's outfit,
holding the Indians to four hits,
the Tigers garnered nine safeties
off Teller and Hildebrand to score
six runs to the Cleveland clubs
three.
The White Sox's loss, coupled
with Detroit's victory, brought the
Tigers up to within one point of
tying the present second-plaee
occupant for that position.
No other games were played in
the American League.

Usually, when any column 9TH
er than "Doings Around the Golf
Links" or Following Through
puts in an appearance hereabouts,
its author has a pet peeve some
where up his sleeve. Well, don't
worry, we're from the diamond
ball and baseball fields and the
sleeves on our uniforms are well
known to be too short to conceal
anything, and besides, we're just
presenting few sidelights-
things the baseball and diamond
ball players here are interested
in.
For instance, and this every
ball player in the city will gladly
affirm, the interest of Pedro
Aguilar, the statistically and 9TH
erwise-minded by Jove" of these
sporting columns, in daily attend
ing the diamondball games at the
Park and the baseball games on
Sunday at the Navy Field and
faithfully keeping both score and
records, has much to do with the
interest, little though it may be
at present, in local ball play. All
those who are connected with the
softkalf and "hardball'' games in
this city are appreciative of his
efforts. What the quality of play
would be without his batting,
fielding and pitching averages pub
lished from time to time in this
paper, which appreciably spur on
the players efforts, we would not
like to think about long.

Half the quintuplets' fortune comes

$250,000 for the opportunity to make

I'VE just wanted to have the con-
tract so that our competitors in the
canned milk and fresh milk business
should not have it," said Mr.. Ware,
who has a most contented smile these
days. For nine months we did not
use the contract at all because we were
afraid the babies would not live. Then
we blasted. Since we started blasting,
our business throughout the world has
exactly doubled. Our competitors
haven't suffered. We're just selling
canned milk to people who never
bought it before"
Since these astounding results. the
line of contract seekers has been end
less and varied. Offers have increased
fabulously and the manufacturer who
offered 5000 in July, 1884, is around
now, with hat in hand. humbly offer
ing $4,000 for the same thing-and
not getting it.
Young, brisk. genial David A. Croll,
Ontario's minister Of welfare and labor,
guardian extraordinary of the quin-
tuplets, bears the manufacturers heavy
fire with DR.. Dafoe.
According to Mr.. Croll, 'It is no
longer a question Of making money
for the quintuplets. They may be only
q few months more than 2 years old,
but they have made their pile already.
They are worth now about $500, 900
enough to take care of themselves and
their families and give them security
and comfort the rest Of their lives"
Invested in Government Bonds.
The $500,000, it was learned, is in
vested in government bonds and re-
turns an income of about $4,000 a
year Whether the quints are living
within that income is termed mot in
the public interest" by Mr.. Croll. Estl-
mates on their living expenses vary
from $1,000 a month, which would be
well within their income, to $2,500 a
month, which would be well over it.

LAST EVENING
MARIA DOLORES BERTHED
AT YACHT BASIN; VESSEL
LEFT THIS AFTERNOON EN-
ROUTE TO HOUSTON

Yacht Maria Dolores, one of the

season, arrived last evening and
berthed in the Key West yacht
basin.
The yacht is owned by the
Shasta Oil company and has on
board Clifford Moore, high Of
fetal of the company, and party
Of three guests.
Mr.. Moore was expecting to be
joined in Key West by Mrs. Moore,
who was to arrive this morning on
the regular plane from Miami,
and was chagrined to learn that
there would be no passengers on
the plane from Miami this morn
ing.
Captain E. B. Greenlaw, of the
yacht, made the reservations ear
lier in the week for Mrs. Moore
with the distinct understanding,
he said, that there would be a
plane from Miami this morning.
Mr.. Moore said that as it was
imperatively necessary for the
yacht to sail this afternoon for
Houston, Texas, he would have to
charter a plane to bring Mrs.
Moore to Key West. This was
done and the chartered plane with
its passenger arrived shortly aft
er / o'clock.
1t was not long afterward that
the. Maria Dolores sailed for
Houston, but before leaving Mr..
Moore said that the Pan American
heads would hear from him
through Washington for the mis-
information given at the offices
in Miami, which was responsible
for the delay in the vessels sail
ing and the extra expense of char
tering plane to bring Mrs. Moore
to Key West.
