Harris, commercial manager of the Hupp Motor Car company, has Just returned from an extensive tour ot the mldwestern states, and he is very optlm Istio of the business outlook. As Mr. Harris stated, things for the coming year are In excellent shape, and with the very large crops which abound throughout the middle west, there la no doubt hut what we are going to go through a big season of prosperity. 'To escape a big season for 1913," said Mr. Harris, "with such crop reports as the government experts have given us. will be very difficult. . "The enthuslastie statements' we have read lately on the conditions af the tnla die west are not exaggerated a bit, for I had my eprs opened on this recent trip. Kansas, Nebraska. Iowa and the Dako- tas. are certainly in for a .record year, and the farmers are already busy with the 'bumper' harvest of winter wheat. which Is estimated to ' be even greater than the largest record crop ever re ported. ''One of the best Informed southwestern business men said this week that the big crops meant between 26.000,000 and S340, 000,000 of money tor the farmers and busi ness men In the states of Missouri. Kin saa. Oklahoma and Nebraska, and that money will be obtained In a short time, "When the large movement of grain seta in. which wtU be about the middle ot July, there is the best of reasons for expecting a genuine trade revival. ' The policy of the Washington admin istration In outlining Its plana for the summer session, and also taking Into con fidence men ot big business on matters of leglalstlon. Is certainly going to have Its effect on 1913 business. NEW TORK, Aug. 1. A aeriea ot un usual occurrences marked July tn pro fesslonal base ball. Extra-inning, no-hit games and accident on the diamond were grouped within a few days, as was the case Just about this period In 1913. Tak tng these unusual features by dates, July 17 saw Clyde Milan in collision with Moel ler, his teammate, aa both raced for a fly ball In the 'Washington-Cleveland game, with the result that Milan received a badly faotured Jaw. On the same day George Weaver, captain of the Cnlcago White Sox, collided with Demmltt under similar circumstances and was severely Injured about the head. A rto-hlt-no-run game and a twenty-one inning struggle also figured In the records of July 17. At Pittsburgh the New York Glantt and the Pittsburgh Pirates played twenty-one in nlngs, the New Tork club winning by t to 1. Rube Marquard and Babe Adams. the rival pitchers, twirled the entire con test. With the exception ot the twenty- four-Inning game between the Philadel phia Athletics and the Boston Americans on September L 1904, this is the longest game ever played In the major league. Hartford Defeats He.w II area. Three day previously the Hartford club defeated the New Haven team, I to 1, In a twenty-three Inning game 1n the East ern Association, which is the third long est game in the record or proreaaionat base ball. The twenty-si inning contest between Decatur and Bloomlngton of the Thma-I league, played on May 11, 1900, still holds first Place and the Philadelphia Boston twenty-four Inning match second position In the record of long games. Get ting back to July 17 again. James With ers, pitcher of the Duluth club of the Northern league, twirled a no-hlt-no-run game against the Virginia club of the same league. This la the third hltless game of the Northern league this season, The next day at Lebanon. Pa., the un coin Giants, a semi-professional tsam. varied the schedule by defeating the home club, 3 to 3, and incidentally acorlng eight home runs. Three players each secured two circuit hits. Moving on to July It. the record how that tha Wichita club of the Western U.rna Wauled KiOUX City. I W t 111 twenty-two tnning game, which required four hour and forty-eight minute to play. On the ame day at Long Branch, N. J.. Jose Aoosta, the Cuban pitcher of the seashore team, hut out the Bt Louis American league club without a Mt or run. winning a S to 0 victory In which he did not give a base on ball and had but twelve balls called on hi delivery tor the full nine innings.

"On August 7 at noon, unless other wise ordered tn the meantime, a strike will be called on ninety-eight western roads, effecting 66,000 men," said A. L. Komoll of Laramie, Wyo., general chair man of the Union Pacific engineers, who wss in the city yesterday afternoon on his way homo from the east, where for weeks he ha been in conference with the railroad employes and railroad man ager in an effort to settle the mat ters in dispute between the men and the roads. Continuing Chairman Komoll said: "If a strike take place it will bottle up the road from end to end and will apply to every character of train. If it does occur, It will ba by reason of the refusal of the general man eg era of the roads to accede to the proposals ot tha mediators, which ar as follows: The schedule In effect prior to Octo ber 10, 1913, with the amendment thereto and accepted ruling thereon to be r stored and continued until changed by arbitration. I The demand of the two organisation as set forth In their communication of that date to the conference committee of managers, and no other queetlon, or questions, to be submitted to arbitra tion under and in accordance with the aot of congress of July la, 1913, com monly known as the Newlands' law. All subsequent demand ot the organi sations and all counter demands of the managers to ha withdrawn without prejudiee. Chairman Komoll aeeuned to discuss tnst rcinner In which the strike would b tailed or what the ultimata result would bo., other than to say that It would ba conducted in an orderly manner and would not last long. He took the position that the engineer and firemen ar asking for nothing unreasonable. Meets Plremei'i Chalrasaa.
