Roop Cuts Down Batting Averages Richmond club as a whole batted .182 against Karl Roop in the Williamsburg affair Sunday, and as a result another drop in clouting stock is registered on the Quaker boards. Cooney and Holmes were the only Quakers to benefit by Sunday's session. The rest of the bunch dropped back a trifle Jn percentage standing. ' The Holmes brothers Johnny and Wink are now leading the procession. J. Holmes, who is a full fledged Quaker, Is traveling along at a .391 clip. Brother Wink is next in line with .384. W. Holmes, however, has participated in but four, games. Vint Cooney is the real holder of third money coupon although Ev. Haas, who has worked in but two games, is handling the sash two points in excess of Cooney's quotation. In the matter of stolen bases Herb Logan and V. Cooney are tied at ten apiece. The Holmes boys, with three apiece, and Minler with the sdme number, are the only other Quakers in a position to claim credit for larceny on the sacks. . The record follows: A.B. R. H. 2B. 3B. H.R.

BEARD TO JUMP COUNTY LEAGUE

More trouble in the camp of the Wayne County association. Because he says B. Lichtenstadt, manager of the Hagerstown Hub club, has positively refused to meet his team on the Williamsburg grounds, Charles Beard, manager of the Williamsburg club, has threatened to withdraw from the county league. Unless Lichtenstadt fulfills his terms made with Williamsburg at the recent organization meeting. "Out we go." says Beard. It seems that Williamsburg held an agreement with Hagerstown that Lichtenstadt'a team should play at Williamsburg the Sunday following Hagerstown's appearance In Richmond. By that agreement Hagerstown would be billed to play at Williamsburg instead of at Richmond, this coming Sunday.

BOOKINGS ARE SLOW

Managers of local teams are experiencing trouble in arranging bookings for Sunday. Williamsburg, Rexalls, Miller-Kemper, Senators are still unbooked. A game Is pending between the Senators and Kltchell, but no definite arrangements have been completed. Manager Beard . of the Williamsburg club says his plans were upset by the failure of Hagerstown club to keep its date at Williamsburg.

Continued from page One a further shrinkage In winter wheat, and big losses compared to a month ago and last year in corn and oats. Both barley and rye figures also indicate greater losses compared to a year ago than were shown in the July government report. The report on spring wheat was one of the most bullish crop documents ever issued by the government. The total spring wheat crop now indicated Is 199,000,000 bushels, confirming the radical accounts of damage which have been received by the trad for several weeks past. 71,000,000 Bushels Loss. A month ago the total spring wheat crop was placed at 270,000,000 bushels, showing a loss for the month of 71,000,000 bushels, while compared to last year's final estimate there is a shrikage in spring wheat of 158,000,000 bushels. Black rust, blight, and extreme heat, which cooked the wheat in the filling period, were the causes of the severe reduction in the crop. In many sections of the northwest the crop suffer

ed a veritable calamity, as in many sections the grain is not worth cutting. Heavy Losses in Northwest. The government makes the total crop of the Dakotas and Minnesota 135,000,000 bushels. A month ago the same states had a promise of 203,000.000 bushels, while the final 1915 estimate made the total 289,000,000 bushels. Washington, which is the next most important spring wheat state, has a promise for a fair yield, 17,000,000 bushels. In one month the crop was cut down in Minnesota from 61,000,000 bushels to 39,000.000 bushels: in North Dakota from 90,000,000 bushels to 6S.000.000 bushels and in South Dakota from 52,000,000 bushels to 27,500,000 bushels. Big Losses In Winter Wheat. In addition to the losses sustained in the spring wheat country, the government has revised its estimate of the winter yield, cutting down the estimate from 489,000,000 bushels in July to 455,000,(1)0 bushels in August. Such a big loss in winter wheat was unexpected. Much of the loss in winter wheat was in Kansas, where the crop is now placed at 89,000,000 bushels, or about 21,000,000 bushels reduction. The Nebraska estimate was shaded 4,500,000 bushels at 62,000,000 bushels, Kansas and Nebraska together having 151000,000 bushels of wheat, most of the surplus winter wheat being in those two states. The total wheat crop of the country is 358,000,000 bushels smaller than j

Four brotherhoods asking Increased wages of the railroads today gave out the following statement, refuting the charge that railroaders are asking a much greater Increase in wages than has been accorded other workers. The statement follows: The farm hand of today gets three times as much pay as did his brother who was yoked up with the ox. The farm hand has had his pay raised from 200 to 250 per cent, in the past fifteen years and any real farmer can settle the pay question for himself if he will remember when he could get a good hand for "$10.00 a month and found." The fact of the matter is that the farm-hand has ; progressed to a much greater extent than the majority of railroad men think. Money wages do not always tell the story of what a man earns. The farm worker is better off with his lower pay and "found" than the city worker with a higher wage but who must buy everything. The railroads show the high wages paid their men. Let the farmer understand that the high-paid man is not to profit by his proposed movement for a shorter work day. He has it now. It' is the low-paid man who Is the typical man who will profit once the roads make better time with their dragfreights than they do now. A fair estimate is that not more than one-third of the four hundred thousand train service employes will receive a cent above what they now earn If the shorter work day is adopted.

a year ago, when the yield was 1,012,000,000 bushels, against 654,000,000 bushels, against 654,000,000 bushels this year. Yield in Other Cereals. The total yield of the five principal cereal crops totals 4,900,000,000 bushels, compared to 5,148,000,000 bushels bushels estimated a month ago and 5,844,000,000 bushels the final estimate for 1915. Compared to last year corn shows a loss of 278,000,000 bushels, oats 266.000,000 bushels, barley a decrease of 42,000,000 bushels, and barley 7,000,000 bushels. The leading crops show a total loss of 951,000,000 bushels.

PERSHING TESTS WAR MACHINES

COLUMBUS, N. Mex., Aug. 9. Testing grounds for all new fangled implements of war. That is what Gen. Pershing's column into Mexico is now. Every new development in the implements of warfare is getting a tryout some place along the column that extends from the border to Colonia Dublan. Caterpillar tractors are being tried out in the transportation of heavy artillery over mountain roads roads often In the path of cloudbursts which wash them away or make them quivering quagmires. New schemes for quick road building get their turns, too, and there are plenty of opportunities for fair tests on these rugged routes that lead into the fastnesses of the "banditti Mexicanl." Improved motor trucks, which have robbed the- pugnacious army mule of many of his rightful wreaths get their chance to show what they can do, and weak spots in construction are not long hidden under the grueling tests that make road races for silver qups look easy.

During' this time, one firm occupied it all of the time except the first six months with a grocery store, and during that time there never was a robbery or fire in the building. Nevertheless, the state fire marshal condemned the building as a fire-trap.
