GIANTS UNABLE.
TO CAIN GROUND
AS CUBS WILT.
BY LAYTON CARVER

NEW YORK, Aug. 11.-As
though the game Of baseball pur.
posely had been designed that way,
once a team gets well to the front
and begins to really take on the
appearance Of a pennant-winner,
the cards seem to be stacked for it.
In the last few weeks the Chi
cago Cubs have maintained the
race by winning a majority Of
games, but also by losing 1t the
most propitious time-when the
Giants wer losing. In winning the
pennant last year the Giants actu-
ally didn't win it at all, but backed
into it through much the same
process.
They had an opportunity yester-
day to cut the Cubs six-game
lead, when the latter lost to the
Pittsburgh Pirates by 6 to 5, but,
instead Of winning themselves, the
Giants took it on the chin from
the Boston Bees by 6 to / and thus
remain right where they were in
the standings.
Present DramaticS
Both games were notable for
incidental dramatics. From the
Cubs standpoint the feature was
loss Of Ripper Collins at first base
for at least a month because Of a
fractured ankle, suffered in the
first inning.
The local contest brought old
Daniel MacFayden to the mound
for the Bees and he pitched one
Of his best games in winning so
easily, allowing only six hits.
When Cuccinello homered with
two on in the fifth, Pitcher
Schumacher's attempt to continue
comeback on the Giants firing
line was blasted and the game
was sewed up.
st. Louis Cardinals got six-hit
pitching from Lon Warneke and
squeezed through to a 3.to-2 VIC
tory over the Cincinnati Reds, for
whom the redoubtable Lee Girls
som failed to finish, being lifted
Tor plnch-hltter.
Henshaw hurled the Brooklyn
Dodgers to 7.to-3 win over the
Philadelphia phillies.
Play Double Headers
The scheduled american
League feature between the leao-
ing Yankees and second.place Bos-
ton Red Sox failed to materialize
due to rain, leaving double-headers
for today and tomorrow. The st.
Louis Browns and Cleveland In
dams likewise were washed out.
The Chicago White Sox accepted
an opportunity to cut in on the
third-place Detroit Tigers by beat
ing the Tigers, 6 to 4.
Washington pounded out IS hits
in two games in beating the Phila.
delphia Athletics, Is to 7 and 8 to
6, and the AS made 81 safeties in
losing the twin bill. Also, II errors
enlivened the occasion, the Ath.
letics contributing seven of them.

subject of the address by Harold
Gordon, son of MIR. and Mrs. Mike

from the pen of Herbert Johnson, one
of the country's most talented writers
ON economic subjects.

lasions Committee, composed of A. B.

Federal Land Bank Loans
In st. Louis COunty

st. Louis county farmers have out
standing 81 ,061 800 in loans on their
farms as the result of organization of
the Federal Land Bank of st. Paul 20
years ago March II. The banks char
ter was granted March II, 1917, follow
ing many years of study of country
life and rural credit problems in this
country and Europe. The farm loan act
creating the land banks was approved
on July II, 1916.
The basis for this volume of loans is
chiefly the national farm loan associ-
ations through which land bank loans
are made. However, in order to meet
the emergency of 1888 congress that
year provided for commissioner" loans
by which additional credit could be ex-
tended to farmers. The land bank acts
as agent of the commissioner in max
ing such loans, the local association
assisting.
In this county there are 1913 farmers
who have financed their farms with
one or both these types Of loan, of
whom 513 are association members.
OF the total volume of credit shown
above, 1919, 400 comprises commissioner
loans, and $742 200 land bank loans to
members of associations.

the proposed Pari Mutuel bill, which
would permit betting upon horse races
The Senator gave sound argument
He showed wherein many thousands OF
dollars would accrue to the state by the
enactment of such law. He made a
good impression, but his efforts went
for naught, the Governor, following
him, not only taking his Senate floor
leader to task for even daring to men,
ton such proposal, but informing his
audience that so long as he was Gov

be vetoed. The Senator was not phased
