They arrived here yesterday morning and the Yankees and Callahan's tribe start a four-game engagement today on the Polo grounds. It is the ambition of the Sox to take the measure of Chance's speedy Yanks in order to return home with a fairly good record. Therein is a tack, how ever, as the helpless Yankees of old were tough propositions for the Chi- cagoans, and with the team that Chance Is now piloting, the odds are even greater against the Invaders.

For the present Walter will stick to his knitting with Washing ton, but sensational developments may be looked for in October, when his con tract expires.

No man or woman who eats meat r(ru larly can make a mistake by flushing the kidneys occasionally, says a weu-Known authority. Meat forma urie acid which excites the kidneys, they become over workd from the strain, get sluggish and fail to filter the waste and poisons from the blood, then we get sick. Nearly all rheumatism, headaches, liver trouble, nervousness, dizziness, sleeplessness and urinary disorders come from sluggish kidneys.

This famous salts is made from tbe acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, snd has been used for generations to flush and stimulate tbe kidneys, also to neutralize the acids in urine so it no longer causes irritation, thus ending bladder weakness. Jad Salt is inexpensive and cannot injure j makes a delightful effervescent litiua-water drink which everyone should take now and then to keep the kidneys clean and active and tbe blood pure, thereby avoiding serious kidney cornnlirntlons.

Hogue be came a bandit. He tried to hold up a Southern Pa cific train near San Francisco last week. He was unsuccessful, and then he tried to commit suicide. On a cot at the Central Emergency hospital, two bullet wounds in his head and his right band shot through in two places, his face discolored and puffed from blows, he told his story. "All my life I've been a railroad man," said Hogue. "But now I'm too old to get a job with a company. I am 46. A man can't get a job r: s jading when he is. over 45. I haven't been able to get work for three months. I've ni.y wife and my two children. I was desperate. My wife was sick no money. No money to pay the rr.nt we're behind two months. No money to pay the grocery bill. Not a 5-cent piece in the house. I knew I must do something. Something! I thought perhaps I could do this. If I failed I thought I would kill myself in the midst of it and my wife would any way get $2,000 life insurance that we can't keep up any more. That's the way I thought it out. But I only got a chance to shoot once at myself ana it didn't do the work." When Hogue tells of his . life, the places he has been, the jobs he has held, the jobs he has lost, he speaks frankly, smiling now and then a lit tle at some remembrance. But when he has to mention his wife he chokt-s up, the unheeded tears come and he does not speak for a while. His wife was a stenc-nrrapher and bookkeeper in Arizona when they were married seven years ago. They have two children Robert, who is 5, and Margaret, who is 3. When some one asked him if his wife, with her training, could not work, he 6aid: yTv. she has two little children to look after." Hogue began working for a railroad company when he was 18. He has worked for railroad companies for 28 ADVICE OFFERED ON SEEDING LAWN U. S. Department of Agriculture Favors the Use of Blue Grass and Bed Top. Even though the lawn has not been seeded during the early spring, it is well -worth while to apply seed to it later. This, however, should not be done during a drought AH lawns should have some application of seed in the spring that they may appear well during the rest of the season, ac cording to the U. S. department of ag riculture's landscape gardener. . The best and most'widely used mixt ure for seeding a lawn is one of Ken tucky blue grass and red top, equal parts by weight On absolutely bare soil a pound of seed should be sown to every 200 square feet. Only one fourth of that amount is necessary on moderately good lawns. Only tbe very best seed should be used. Seed that is furnished by a reliable seeds man is likely to be good. ' Thin places should be heavily seeded, and when there are considerable areas without grass, it is advisable to sow white clover seed ln addition to the mixture already recommended. Poor preparation of the soli is much more often the cause for poor results than the quality of seed. Where the surface of tbe ground is not loosened up and well pulverized so that the grass seeds may come in contact with the soil, the best of seed will not germinate. There should also be plen ty of vegetable matter (humus) in the ground for the seed to give the best resultc 1 of James S. Hogue. years. He began as a brakeman. At the time of iis marriage be was running a passenger train for the San ta Fe in Arizona. He was a well-liked, popular sort of man, mixing a little in local politics, serving as delegate here and there. He was fairly prosperous and had saved up a few thousand dol lars, which he and his wife decided to invest in copper. Every cent of this they lost Later in Arizona he became a jus tice of the peace, and also started a wood business. From there he came to California and looked for railroading jobs. Ke says .that his recommendations are O. K., and that he would get taken on until his age would be found out, and then he would be turned off. "A year ago I applied for a place with the Great Northern. The su perintendent looked my letters over, and me over, and then he said, 'But how old are you, Hogue?' I said 'I'm 33.' 'You sure look more than 33 to me,' he said. 'I'm 33,' I said. "He went and called another of ficial and they looked me over as j they would a mule, but finally one of them said, 'Well, your recommen dations are a" right, and we'll take you on, but you understand that if we find out that you have been Guilty of falsifying your record here with us, by understating your age, you'll be fired. 'That's all right,' I said. I knew I'd get maybe a month's work anyhow. And that was it. Five weeks later they fired me for falsifying of rec ords." . At the time Hogue went out on his desperate project the total sup plies in his home consisted of one small piece of butter. Two months' rent for the little cottage where they lived was due $28. A grocery bill of $23 at the little corner store de nied them, further credit there. The wife was not well. And there were the little children. "I tried everything else before be coming a bandit," he says. "But I could not bear to see my wife and little children starve." Sometimes bad weather conditions, as drought, will affect results, even though the seed is good and the soil has been well prepared; nor is a quick rain at the time of sowing an undoubt ed blessing, for if such a rain just causes the iseeds to sprout, and is then followed by dry weather, . the weed seeds, already plentiful in the soil, will also 6prout and being stronger to re sist the dry weather than the grass seed, will crowd out the latter. The seedsman in such an instance may be blamed without reason for selling an Inferior product. In the southern states, on lighter soils the grasses that are generally recommended are not likely to suc ceed and Bermuda grass roots should be planted on such lawns instead. On clay soils in the south, especially those that are in partial shade, the blue grass-red top mixture should grow sat isfactorily, but seeding with this had better be delayed until fall. Bermuda grass at the first approach cf cold weather turns an ugly brown, so that in those sections of the south where it is used it is best to bow addi tional grass seed along in September, such as white clover and possibly Ital ian rye seed, which will come up and keep the lawn green all winter and cover the dried-up Bermuda grass un til spring. Italian rye grass comes up quickly but doss not present as at tractive an appearance as the white clover. Farther north tbe Bermuda grass which, in many southern sections, is the only one that will keep reen dur ing the hot months, is regarded as a weed. In the latitude of Washington the Bermuda grass, which turns brown at the first frost, disfigures many lawns during the greater part of tbe fall. It is true that the Bermuda grass will stay green when hot suna turn other grasses brown," but except in the ' southern states the blue grass-red top, Keystone King, beat his old mate, the Cabs, yesterday. It was not through the great batting or fielding stunts that the Trojan turned the trick, bat through generalship, for an army gen eral could not have Iseued more or ders or had them carried oat more successfully than Evers did ln the final of the Boston series.

Time 1:55. Umpires Klemm and Hart mixture, under ordinary circumstances, will keep up the fine appearance of the lawn and offer a much more attractive greenness than the Bermuda When the Bermuda grass once gets started, it crowds out the other grasses and there is no way of getting rid of it. Digging it out is an endless pro cess. Sowing white clover In the lall is the best way to combat it. Fortun ately, this grass does not thrive north of New Jersey to any degree, because it cannot stand the severe cold of win ter. As the grass is really a boon to many southern states, It is only in the so-called border states that it becomes a nuisance. The United States department of agriculture has a Farmers' Bulletin (No. 494) entitled "Lawn Soils and Lawns" which gives general informa tion on the care and preparation of lawns, and which Is sent free to any one who applies for it.
