its next 1--WE games and Chicago should
drop four out Of its six remaining games,
the latter would still be in the lead by
two points IL is scarcely likely, how
ever, that the Highlanders viii take
five straight games, three With Phila-
delphia and two with Boston II il
likely, too, that Chicago will take more
than two Of its six remaining games.
The White Sox have to play two more
with st. Louis, three with Cleveland and
one with Detroit. The beat way it can
be figured gives the pennant to Chicago,
barring, of course, extraordinary acei-
dent. N worlds championship between
the two windy city teams seems as.

Cleveland is also close on the heels Of
the Highlanders, being now but ten
points behind. Its easy victory over
Detroit Yesterday, 7 to 4, makes the
Yankees feel shaky about second place.

Scheme to End Disputes Over Fishing
in Canadian Waters.

From time to time complaints are received
by this government that American fisher
men on Lake Erie are annoyed unwarrant-
ably by the Canadian authorities by charges
that they are fishing In Canadian waters
and the consequent seizure of their vessels.
Such complaint was received only few
days ago. The matter was taken up by the
Department of Commerce and Labor and
the Treaury Department with a view not
only of determining the merits Of that par
ticular case. but also with the view to de-
vising some plan by which similar incidents
in the future might be avoided Of1cers Of
the revenue cutter service suggested that
buoy or line Of buoys be established in
the center of Lake Erie as q tentative
boundary line. The matter was referred TO

gin his investigations into the fisheries dis
pute. By direction Of President Roosevelt
Mr.. Alexander, who Is chief of the division
OF statistics of the bureau Of fisheries left

foundland of the rights which they have I'M
der the existing treaty. Mr.. Alexander.
while connected with the Department of
Commerce and Labor, In this matter Is an
agent Of the State Department.
It Is said at the State Department that

the Department Of State because of inter-
national questions involved and Acting Sec
rotary Adee, in response to a suggestion
from the Treasury Department said there
was no reason why buoys should not be
laid, but that, of course. they could not be
