Giants Are Cautious.
TERRY, who has so far recr

FERRY, who has so far recovered
from his influenza that he took
few cuts at the plate in yesterdays
practice, has delegated the veteran
Gus Mancuso to catch both Hubbell
in tomorrow's game and Slim Melton
in the second game. Harry banning
is slated TO catch Hal Schumacher in
the third.
All of which indicates the essential
difference between the two New York
teams. The Yanks are set to slug it
out on their customary lines. The
Giants are going to play it cute" and
fight for a run at time. placing their
trust in Hubbell, Melton and Schu-
macher to curb the enemy.
The key man of the series, with all
due respect to Hubbell. is very likely
to be Melton. the tall. hungry-looking
mountaineer known to his teammates
as Mickey Mouse" If Melton, a
2O-game winner in his first season.
throttles the Yankee batters In the
second game, then it's anybody's
series and probably the Giants.
Somebody asked Terry yesterday if
he expected Melton to play much of
part in the big rucus.
Il expect him to play a very. very
important part growled the colonel.
Power in Yanks' Favor.
THOSE who watched the rival teams
in batting practice we're struck
by the obvious disparity in power.
The Yankees. one after the other, rat
tied balls against the far boards. and
the stadium echoed with the viror
of their blows. Their rivals, on the
other hand, seldom Dashed one SOL
idly. Their best ticks we're like singles.
But the Giants infield displayed more
zip and sparkle than the Yanks'.
Reports have it that there has been
an unusual amount of betting on the
| series, with the Yankees steady 2-to-5
| choices. Those seem very attrac-
| tive odds to the Giants admirers,
considering the pace their club has
set in the last month.
A Yank fan. though, explained 1t
all very succinctly:
odds don't mean nothing when
| that Di Maggie and Gehrig and
Dickey get up there. It's Just pow
pow-pov,' and what difference does
| the odds make?"

The all-time "high' was reached in
1880, when the total attendance for
the two major circuits reached
0,186, 900.
Record for Detroit.
THE most striking feature of this
years showing is that the Detroit
Tigers, second-place club in the
American League, set the attendance
pace, with a total Of 1,181, 000 This
was a record for home-game attend
ance in the motor city and exceeded
by nearly 10000 the home-game fig

York Yankees, hitherto the undis-
puted No. / drawing card.
The Yankees, however, helped De-
troit set a new home mark The New

UT-ON-THE-LIMB, N. Y,
October SIT isn't bad up
here >. so far. The sap from
~ the branches doesn't stick to
your clothes like it does in the Spring
and the squirrels are congenial and
interesting company. If they only
didn't have that hungry look in their
eyes.
1t develops you almost have to climb
out on the limb and the only way you
can get down without falling is for
the Yankees to win in seven games.
Well, why not? They won in six a
year ago and with only few excep-
tons the world series casts are the
szme. Throw in victory for Noun
tain Music Cliff Melton and isn't it
stf1l the Yankees?
HMM. Let's see. Last year the
Yankees did everything better than
the Giants. They made more hits,
scored more runs and drove more guys
home. This year they have the same
fellows back Gehrig, Dickey,
Di Maggie. Gomez, etc. Only Jake
Powell won't be in the lineup, or at
least he isn't scheduled to play.
That shouldn't make much differ
erce, though, bowling at the same time
10 Jakey's feats of 1886. II Powell
didn't have sinus he wouldn't have
played, anyway, because it seems that
Joe Mccarthy likes Myril Hoag better.
OFT on Third Base Now.
THE Giants are changed here and
there. Bill Terry isn't playing first
base any more and, instead, there is
stationed one Jack Mccarthy. They
say Mccarthy is something of a
Fancy Dan with that glove but only
. Johnny-at-the -bat when the Giants
are up. Well, you can't have every
thing.
Old Travis Jackson, of course, is
gone from third base. Last year
jackson was pretty senile and when
the series was over Terry got Lou
Chiozza to play the bag. Lou did not
go so well and tomorrow Mel OFT, base
balls unbearded old folks" will be
playing third base
Old Freddie Fitzsimmons is gone.
TOO Fat Freddie pitched the best
game of the 1886 series but he lost.
That's neither here nor there, though.
and now it is Cliff Melton who will
pitch in Fitzsimmons' place.
With those major changes the cur
tain will 90 up tomorrow and can an
Oklahoma hillbilly and a Carolina
rlountaineer stop a ball club with five
800 iitters?

W Gall nickel series. Inc long,
tall boy with base balls record ear
spread, which is why the Orioles called
him Mickey Mouse, won 20 games for
the Giants in his first season in the
majors. Of that record he must be
regarded as gentleman of import.
The Yankees took one look at
Cliff some time ago and didn't
like him. They may like him
even less when they see him
again.
Mountain Music pitched the Giants
to the pennant. There is no getting
around that item. Hubbell was great
OF course, but Hub couldn't have done
it alone. And if the Giants couldn't
win the pennant without Melton's slab
successes it does not follow they can
win the series without him.

May Even Pitch Opener.

SOME of the speculation at the mo-
ment even involves Melton as the
opening-gam pitcher for the Giants.
This is an angle with a romantic, il
fantastic, touch. If Melton did start
tomorrow 1t would be a rare distinc-
ton, indeed, for he is a first-year man
in the majors and the last time a fresh
man opened series was back In
1880.
Then Paul DerrinEer did 1t for
the Cards against the Athletics
and got his ezrs pinned back.
If Melton starts and wins. then. in.
deed, it would be storybook stun
Even If Black Mountain Cliff himself
harbors no deep-rooted resentment and
rage against the Yankees, q lot of peo-
pie think he does or should, and II
would make for good reading and in
teresting talking If he beat the team
that spurned him.
In the end, though, Melton does not
figure to open the series. That would
be q task for Hub, who Is experienced
great, left-handed as all get-out and
game. Hub, Melton and Schuma cher
ought to be the Giants pitching order
and when three games are played
well, Hub. Melton and Schumacher
again.

Hadley Out as Starter.

HUBBELL, the Oklahoma hillbilly,
and Melton, the Carolina noun
tanner, figure to win one game apiece.
Hub broke even last year; winning the
opener when we'll rested and losing
his second start after two DAYS of
rest. Carl figures to win his first
start, If he will win at all. and so does
Melton, whom the Yankees will be
seeing for the first time. Somewhere
Along the line the Giants ought to nick
up another victory. If they happen to
PICK up two more, of course, they will
win the series. Say it's quite q
crop OF these limbs at that, isn't it?
Lefty Gomez ought to be as good this
year as he was in the 1886 series. He
won two games last Fall. Red Ruffinu
Is ABOUT due to win a world series
game. American League hitters
spread the tip this season that Ruffinp
has more stuff than he's had on the
ball in 10 years.
Bump Hadley won a game last wear
but he's out now. Mccarthy proba blv
won't trust the Bumper with a start.
Monte Pearson, though, will start.
Give Monte warm day and he prob
ably will give the Yankees a good
game.
-
Gehrig, Di Mag Stand Out.
GEHR1G has slowed up but he fig
ures over Mccarthy, doesn't he?
They say that Tony Lazzeri is
washed up for 1888 but the old sienor
did not get his tag ss money player
for his pinochle prowess. Wouldn't
It be dramatic If Tony, making his
last stand as q ball player. should
happen to be the hero? If that biz
gray squirrel on the right promises
not to charge, you will pick Antonio
here and now to be the hero.
The Giants Dick Bartell ought to
have an edge over frankie Crosettl
on shortstop and. Red Rolfe and OFT
ought to figure about even. The out
feeders embrace one great ball player
and several good ones. Di Maggie
stands out. Selkirk, Joe Moore, Wally
Berger and Jimmy Ripple are good
Hoag is adequate.
The YankS have to get a big vote
on itching. Back of the bat it's Bill
Di y against the field. The Giants
probably will alternate Gus Mancuso
and Harry banning and still give away
m edge.
IT'S just . breeze, really. this out
on-the-limb stun.

Raleigh. Oct. 28-Work records of

when that phase of the activity of the
N. G. Unemployment Compensation
Commission starts early next year
Chairman Charles G. Powell said to-

bers of workers are necessary be-
cause the wages are recorded by
these numbers; the total wages asked
for in the quarterly reports are need
ed, as the length of time in which the
unemployment compensation is to be
paid depends upon the amount the
workers accumulate in wages; the
weekly wage base is required to de-
termine the amount Of ewekly bene-
fits be paid to the employee who
gets out of work after establishing
the record. Last week check show
ed that about 200 liable employees
out of about 5000 establishments, 2.5
per cent, had not filed wage reports
for the first quarter; about 1880 or
II per cent, had not filed the second
quarter reports; while third quarter
reports, due this month, are now
coming in satisfactorily, Mr.. Powell

NEEDLESS L0SSBY
INSECTS IN GRAIN
Peas Also Greatly Damaged
in Storage in Barns of
Many Farmers

College Station, Raleigh, Oct. 49,
Needless losses are suffered each
year by North Carolina farmers who
let insects get into their stored grain
and peas.
Carbon disulphied will protect the
seed from insect damage without i'm
pairing the quality of the seed for
planting or for food, said J. O.
Rowell, extension entomologist at
State College.
A convenient method for treatment
he added, is to put the seed in an
alright barrel, pour the carbon disul-
phid directly on the seed, then tie two
thicknesses of heavy wrapping paper
over the top and leave for two days.
Examine the seed. If any insects re-
main, repeat the process with a stron-
ger dose of carbon disulphid. After
the treatment, the barrels of seed
must be kept covered to prevent re-
infestations.
Half a cupful of disulphid is US
ually enough for q barrel of grain or
peas, though a full cup may be need
ed when insect infestations are heavy
Treatment is most effective when the
temperature is above Is degrees fab
1enheit.
Seed may be treated also in storage
bins if the bins can be made fairly
alright. Use 20 pounds Of carbon
disulphid for each 1000 cubic feet of
space in the bin. Then cover the seed
with old sacks to hold the gas in

a disease not uncommon among
people Of no particular intellectual
resource who have been in the
habit Of working, but have to
work no longer-he had nothing
to do with his time.
His five or six hours daily at
the surgery had never been spent
in anything more active than
opening or shutting doors, a GER
tain amount of busting and clean
ing, and some mechanical work on
dentures. He still did a bit of
cleaning, in the perfunctory way
he felt he owed to his new condi-
ton Of independence, but the work
on the dentures he had soon aban-
dOned, in the first flush of eman-
cipatiOn. He would not have been
sorry to have it back now, but was
disinclined to make by his re-
sumption Of it the tacit confession
that he was at a loose end.
For the rest Of the days, and
during the week-ends, his situa-
ton was like that Of a boy left be-
hind at school after the holidays
had begun. He simply did not
know how to amuse himself. The
charms of liberty lost their fresh
ness in a very few days. Idleness.
however, fed on itself, and COM
bined with the absence Of the spur
Of compulsion to produce a state
Of mind in which he shirked the
effort to find himself new distrac-
lions.
Adams could now Of course af.
ford to tap sources Of pleasure
formerly beyond his reach, but his
spirit was sluggish, and he fell
back on a mere intensification of:
his old habits. At first the Goose.
Quill saw him at opening time in;
stead Of half past 8; he would;
drink a good deal more, stand
treat good deal more, boast and.
throw his weight about a good
deal more.
The result Of these indulgences,
however. was to give him a daily;
morning hangover, so that pres!
emily he became a less regular
patron, and two or three times q
week he would not go down until
after supper or not at all. Then,
of course, he had to fill in the time
somehow; and that was where Tim
came in.

"You haven't been along to see me for quite time"

This new misfortune was some
thing beyond his power to check
or control. The rot had set in;
very well, he argued, he would do
nothing to stem it. -. It proceeded
apace.
Tim had always been a very
abStemiOuS man; but now he be-
gan to drink. He found that
whiskey, while at first stimulating
his perceptions, eventually dulled
them. Drinking did not bring him
any happiness, even a fugitive
one, but it produced a condition Of
anestheSia.
So there was something rotten
at The Wilderness. Tim drinking,
Adams drinking and loafng about
with nothing particular to do, the
effect on the discipline Of the
household was not long in show
ing itself.
Meals were badly cooked and
served late; the cook, who had
been at The Wilderness for IL
years, seemed to have lost all in
terest. The parlormaid gave no
tice, left, and was not replaced.
The housemaid, with no one to
check her, gave up all but the
most perfunctory efforts to keep
the place clean, and spent most of
her time larking with the boy who
came in daily to take over Adams
work, or with Adams himself.
Dust lay everywhere, and a pre-
vailing CRIME settled over house
which, short while back, had
been one Of the cleanest, best kept
and most attractive in the neigh
borhood. Tim dismissed the gar
dener, and lost all his own interest
in the garden; he took, indeed,
malicious pleasure in fostering the
decay and disorder. The Wilder
ness Neddy would find on his re-
turn to England would be a very
different place to what he had
known.
Through it Tim moved listlessly,
in a kind Of aphasia. And now, on
top of everything, Adams began to
give trouble again.
Adams, as has been said, had
been drinking. But it was not
through drunkenness that he again
began to obtrude himself on Tins
notice. The drinking itself was
symptom of something more fun
damental. He was suffering from

CHAPTER So

TINS RESOLUTION to pull
himself together, weak enough in
conception, proved stillborn. for
presently a fresh encouragement
took away all heart and will to
put it into effect. Looking over
his books, the day after the mis-
hap with Mrs. Gordon, he noted
that two of his most regular and
lucrative patients had not been
to see him for some time.
One was a retired schoOlmaster
of the name of Lucas, the other a
wealthy widow, Mrs. Bullick. Both
belonged to the class of patient
the conscientious dentist always
holds up as model to their less
careful brethren; they took great
pride in their teeth, and never
failed to have them inspected at
least once every six months. Tim
discovered that they were both
overdue; Lucas should have been
along early in October, and Mrs.
Bullick a few weeks later. Their
visits had always been so regular
as to be practicable, and this lapse
was quite unprecedented
It was only the next day that
Tim met Lucas in the tobac-
conist's a few doors from the sur
gerry. The assistant was at the
back, opening a new case of
Lucas special mixture, and the
two exchanged a few words about
the weather. Lucas was a slightly
built, nervous man, with a per-
petually hunted look, as if he could
never quite believe he had really
escaped from a world of harassing,
unruly boys; and he had a habit |
Of stammering in moments of en-
barrassment. He was stammer-
ing now.
You haven't been along to see
me for quite a time, Mr.. Lucas"
said Tim, rather unprofessionally,
but the thing was worrying him.
Il made it out you were due over
a month ago."
Really? m ust have let
it s-s-s lip" Lucas affection
was painfully evident. "I'n phi
one you in a day or two"
He seized his mixture, handed over
q coin, and rushed precipitately
from the shop. Your change, Mr..
Lucas" called out the assistant.
Lucas came back and took his
looking fool, then bolted
out again.
Must have something on his
mind" said the assistant, who was
rather coarse young man. per
haps he's in love-"
Tim did not reply. Quite sud-
denly he had realized Lucas was
not coming to him any more.
Mrs. Bullock was not coming to
him any more. No doubt there
were others. There were some
people whom the merest breath of
scandal was sufficient to brighten.
Esther's death, the coroner's
well-intentioned, but really dam
aging exculpation of Tim, had
shaken his reputation. He might
be a murderer. It was not likely.
but it was possible. And nervous
people do not care to make use of
the professional services Of a DOS
Slble murderer. Especially a
doctor Or dentist, who WELD such
formidable power over the body.
This, then, was the real expla-
nation Of Mowers change Of mind.
Tim saw it all. In the interval
between his approach to Tim and
the lunch at the William and
Mary Mower had been getting
some Of Tins patients. He had
become aware that Tins reputa-
ton was blown upon. No wonder
he was no longer prepared to buy
a partnership with a dentist whose
patients were beginning to come
to him, without any effort or un-
professional conduct on his own
part.
The discovery left Tim without
the desire and motive needed for
the effort to pull himself together. |
