BIG BUSINESS. Notwithstanding the more than 2,200 locomotives, the more than 100,000 freight and coal cars, ordered by
the railways of the United States since the beginning of the year, the widespread activities of business !n
the country are already calling into
use such an unusual number of loco
motives and cars, as compared with former years at this period, that it
seems plain that by the middle of
October every engine that can pull,
or car that can hold tonnage and be
moved, will be in operation.
This year it is not a sectional activity that stirs the country, but from
Maine to California, from the Canad

breaking records in every state.

While going at the rate of twenty miles an hour in a runabout, accompanied by Postmaster Thompson, who was inspecting the route, a front wheel came off the machine of Rural Mail Carrier Isaac Moore, eight miles south of Newcastle.

Jack Murray, right fielder for the Giants, turned a couple of superhuman

were licked in the battle by a score of 7 to 4, and now are back where they started on Thursday, six full games from the top. Murray's extraordinary stunts consisted of two leaping catches oft the heads off the crowd in right field and
I each time It was our celebrated slug

The second and more pretentious of
the two catches took place in a ninth Inning rally following a two-base drive by Sheckard who was first man
up. It caused a riot that threatened to end the game In chaos and confusion for not two persons in that vast throng will believe that Murray made the catch at all. However, Ump Bill Brennan, standing in the middle of the diamond, declared he saw the catch and he was the only one of all those present who could decide It.

JOHNSON BLANKS WHITE SOX, 4 TO 0 Senator Hurler Wins Fourteen in Row, Tying the League Record. Washington, D. C, Aug. 17. Walter Johnson won his fourteenth consecutive game, tying the American league record, at the expense of the White
Box, who were lorcea to submit to a
4 to 0 shutout at the hands or Washington's idol, and to an even break in
their final series in this cttjf.
Johnson held the Sox down to two

and the other of which was knocked

make the play to first base. Harry

lucVy enough to get the safeties oft

In spite of their light swatting the Sox twice had men on second waiting
to score. Once there were two out and the other time there was only one out, but a double play wrecked that opening, so Johnson had considerable help.

HOFMAN WANTS BACK SALARY FROM CUBS Pittsburg, Pa., Aug. 17. The case of Artie Hofman, who reported here yesterday and announced himself fit and ready to play again, has not yet been settled. Hofman Is eager enough to get back In harness, but he believes he ought to be paid for the time he was oft, and wants the point decided before he consents to start playing. The Pittsburg club is willing to put Hofman on the salary roll at once, and even to pay him for the time he must spend at practice, but does not believe It can be expected to pay for the long period during which Artie was

PUGH'S BOAT WINS HEAT FOR TROPHY Disturber III. Has Only One Opponent in First Race For Wrigley Cup.
Disturber III., the hydroplane owned and piloted by James A. Pugh, yesterday defeated the elements and Incidentally won the first dash for the William Wrrlgley Jr. $22,000 trophy from Chicago, Its only opponent, when E. J. Richards' craft retired from the sprint on the third lap. Disturber's time was 1:16:54 2-8, which is moderately sensational, as I-ake Michigan was bo turbulent that seven smaller craft nominated for the race were unable to start. Interest In the race between the two craft was moderated by the early lead secured by Disturber III. It was evident that Chicago's competition could be nothing more than a perfunctory exhibition. 3he agitated sea, however, made the prospects for either boat finishing hazardous. Chancea of the swamping of either or both hovered at par.
Disturber III. waa the more sea
worthy and the way Pugh's boat withstood the buffeting was surprising. The winner showed no particular distress either aprintlng across the wind or with It. Pugh took no chances on the turns, negotiating each buoy with wide sweeps. Chicago Invariably gained on Its rival at the buoys, the
Columbia club's craft's turns being more precipitous.
