l ELI OWJACKETS LOSE CLOSE ONE Th<> Yellow Jackets almost won a j ball Kame yesterday, in fact they j should have won it. but the Bluffton Tigers returned to their, lair last night with an 8-6 decision , to their credit. The locals played better ball yesterday than has been I their habit this spring and they out-1 hit the Tigers, 8-7, but one had in- j ning, the second, when the visitors , pushed four runs over the pan, spelled defeat for them. The feature of yesterday’s contest was a sparkling triple play executed by the Curtismen in the sixth inning. Bell. Shoaf and Gerber participated in the three-way killing. The first two men up had got on base safely, one being perched on second and the I other on first. When the next man I came to bat, a hit-and-run play was attempted. The batter hit a little . pop fly to Bell, who was pitching. Bell caught the ball, whirled and ; tossed it to Shoaf at second, to doit j ble the runner there, and Shoaf quickly thiew to Gerber at first in time I to get the runner there, who had raced back to the bag but overrun the j base and was tagged out by Gerber. | Bill Bell twirled a nice game for the Yellow Jackets yesterday,'letting the Tigers down with seven singles. Emshwiller, the Tiger pitcher, was hit hard throughout the contest, but his teammates cut off many likely i looking hits by sparkling catches in the field. Pyle spoiled a threatened Yellow Jacket rally in the sixth by i making two sensational catches at second base to retire the first two | batters up.

PLAYING OF CUBS : IS BIG FEATURE I I , By (V D. Sip wart (United Press Staff Coriespondent) Chicago, May 15—(U.R) —The skyrocketing Chicago Cubs, by increasing their consecutive victories to nine al : the expense of throe straight over the New Yctk Giants, today were blamed , for making John J. McGraw sore — Sole in body, mind and spirit. His mental nnguiah was occasioned by his team's crash fiom second to fourth place in the National League standings yesterday. His physical pain was the result of an encounter with a Chicago taxicab just as he left Wrigley field after the highly disturbing victory of the Chicago Cubs over the New Yotk Giants. Three straight defeats at the hands j of the Cubs were enough to occupy I I McGraw’s mind as he left the field. Certainly his thoughts weren't concern ed with taxicabs. But this one leaped at him so swiftly that he himself was forced to leap—lnto the path of another car. Leg Bruises will keep him in his room for a day or two. Yesterday's 2 to 2 victory was the i ninth in a row for the Cubs, who in the past ten days have advanced from seventh to second place at the expense of the eastern clubs. The Chicagoans have taken three games each from Philadelphia. Brooklyn and New York. Success of the western clubs in the Intersectional strife was not unexpected. for it was conceded that, with the exception of the Giants, all the strength of the Senior loop was in the west. When the Eastern teams started their invasion May 4 the Giants were leading the league with Brooklyn in second place. Losing two games at St. Louis and three to the Culis dropped the dodgers to the sixth rung, but the Giants held first until Sunday. Yesterday’s larruping speeded their downfall and unless they win today the Giants will move into St Louis at the bottom of the first division. The Cubs’ success in their battles with eastern teams has been the feature of the National League race dur i ing the past week. The feature of the ' National league race during the past week. The Chicago club failed to hit its stride during the first three weeks of play and many believed the Cubs were due to be the flop of the season but since may 5 they h.'ive won every start.

Grove fanned 11 men, winning his fifth game of the year. Although outhit, 9 to 11, the New York Yankees won their third straight game from the Detroit Tigers, 7 to 5. Babe Ruth bit home run No 9 off Van Gilder. Charley Root puzzled the New York Giants, the Chicago Cubs winning their ninth straight and third in a row from the Giants. 8 to 2. It was Root's fourth victory of the season. Chick Hafey got four hits and the St. Louis Cardinals beat th? Boston Braves, 4 to 3. Hafey drove in the tying and winning runs in the ninth. The first place Cincinnati Reds gained a 'little on the other leaders, j beating the Phillies, 8 to 4. Luque i was effective after the first inning when the Phillies scored four runs. By beating the Pittsburgh Pirates, 1 7 to 6, the Brooklyn Robins went into a deadlock with the Corsairs for, fifth place in the National League.

Trace Art of Weaving to Prehittoric Times Spinning was the Invention of Miuervti, the goddess of wisdom, In i Hie lore of the ancients, and Areas, king of Arcadia, developed the art about I.KM B. C. 'Hie wife us Tarquin was credited; with being an expert spinner, »ind garment that she wove win worn by Servius Tullius and afterward pre served In the Roman Temple of For tune. According to Pliny, the honor of Inventing weaving belongs to the Egyptians, hut Its origin Is prehistoric, relutes Dr. Frank 11. Vlxetelly. mining I Ing editor of the New Standard dictionary. There tire many Biblical ref erencel that Indicate that the Isi:i elites were expert nt this Intertwining nf threads to form cloth, but so also were the Persians and Babylonians, nwell as oilier ancient nations, all <>t, which earned fame through their prod nets. Even the ancient Britons eeem always to have hud some knowledg" of clothniaking, probably derived from the Gauls, who once peopled England According to the Roman historians. Caesar’s legions, when they landed in Kent, found the natives well advanced In the arts. The Inhabitants of southern Britain were familiar with the dressing, spinning and weaving of tlax and wool before the arrival of the Roman?, but their neighbors, the Gauls, had practiced them even longer —Detroit News. Marriage Makes for Lengthening of Life Dr. Henry Fairfleld Osborn, head of the American Museum of NaturuJ History. New York, Is all for the wedding bell< and orange blossoms. He Inlieves from u study of the facts and figures that a man has a much better chance married to survive the terrifii strain of modern existence than if he stay? single. Doctor Osborn bases ids theory on a study of the careers of graduates of the class of 1577 of Princeton uni versify. He had a record of those who married in the last 00-years and of those who remained single. Forty two per cent of the married graduates survived their fiftieth anniversary, while only 25 per cent of the bachelors are living today. The graduating class of 50 years ago averages’ seventy-two years; with only 52 of the 172 men who inatrlcu lated with tile class still living. Once married, the men of each profession not only lived 12 years longer on the average than the bachelors, but 45 per cent of them still survive, as opposed to 25 per cent of the single men. “Some credit for thte record must be given to the g»od housewives," says Doctor Oslmrn, “and to their ceaseless vjgllance over overcoats and rubbers." t Fish Long Used as Food From the misty past we cun see an example of how much fish was relied on for food for the tollers of time. In Egypt, before 146.’? B. C.. the consumption of list) as a regular article of food was confined teethe workers on the land and the foreign captives who had been made the industrial slaves of the nation. The workmen who constructed the Pyramids—those gigantic memorials of the past—were fed almost exclusively on fish, and It was not till 200 years later that it became a food of luxury for the rich. In “L’Alitnentatiou Animale,” by Monsieur Husson, an accepted authority in France, it is --tilted that Mon Sieur Mouchardat. who was entrusted witli tlie ilrawlng up of a report on hygienic progress, divided fish into different categories, according to their nutritive qualities. Wild Animals Take Toll In spite of constant warfare waged against tiie predatory animals by fed oral and state officials, hunters and trappers, predatory animals cost the farmers and stock raisers of the United States more than $10,000,(8X1 every year. These unlniais are coyotes, wolves, wiltlcats. mountain lions and a, few bear, together with smaller animals commonly termed ■‘vermin." wldch Include foves. weasels, mink and skunks.
