Pennant Practically Cinched Now (United Press Service) New York, July 28—(Special to the Daily Democrat) —After their second trip of the season, a rampage through enemy territory that swept everything before them, the New York Yankees are back home with the American league pennant .virtually and practically cinched. . There aro chances, of coprse, that the 14-game lead now held by the , Yankees might be swept away, but i the chances are very remote. The opposition is none too formidable and , the Yankees are so strong that they have been sweeping everything away in front of them without their full strength. Getting back more on their strike, i the Giants are holding their own in the National League and are main- > taining a slight advantage over the i Cincinnati Reds and the Pittsburgh Pirates. i The chances of the Reds depend I entirely on Luque, Donhue and Rixey, and Moran admits if anything hapI pens to his trio of star pitchers, the - chances will be blown. ; The Pirates are back on their feet > and if the Reds falter or. fail, MeKechnie’s team may take up the fight ’ against the Giants. o ■ BOY DOUBLES CORN PRODUCTION A negro tenant boy on a large plan r tation. in Faukner County! Ark., has given the tenants on that plantation , and other neighbors a new idea of corn yield from the soil of that community. according to reports to the !

L With the consent of the landlord, this 15-year-old boy, Walter Flower, last year planted and cultivated under the supervision of the agricultural extern r tion agent, paying all of his own expenses. He harvested 91 bushels, making a net profit of $53. Twelve ’ tenants on this plantation, as well as a numb r of others in the community, ’ are following the extension agent’s instructions this year in growing ' corn as a result of the demonstration. ’ Prisoners At Penal Farm Are Poisoner (United Press Service) Greencastle, Ind., July 28. — (Special > to Daily Democrat)—The 188 prisoni ers at the state penal farm at Put ■ namville, who were taken ill with ptomaine poisoning yesterday, are out ' of danger.

Indianapolis, Ind., July 28. —The illness of the Indiana state farm at Putnamville, yesterday, has been traced “unquestionably to skimmed milk from a seperator which was ‘deplorably dirty’ and covered with swarming Hies,” a report of Dr. A.
