Hughey Jennings and his Detroit Tigers
left here for ST. Louis last night con-
hdent that the pennant is theirs.
'Pertinacity Of purpose. through stick
ing everlastiugly at our task practically
explains, in a nutshell, how we have
forced our way to the front and achieved
success" was Hughey's first voiley as 10
how his team got there. with determi-
nation, a man. an army. or a baseball
team can accomplish any practical task
provided it has the ability. And no man
will deny that our team has had the
ability" continued Jennings.
when I was put in charge Of the
Tigers this year, my only task was to
bring the team around TO a realization
of its fun strength, and arouse IL 70 a
determination 90 win the pennant az all
hazards. After our team developed its
full speed, We kept pace with the cham
pions Of the world, and with us the
peuuant race became a case OF Pike S
Peak OF Bust It looks like a clear case
of Pixies Peak 20 us now, because I don't
think there is any danger of our going
busted in the remaining three days OF
the season.
Harmony I'm Team.
Among the greatest factors in our
success have been harmony among the
players and team work I'm the way the
boys stuck together and played for the
best interests of the team as "A whole
All thought Of any individual record was
utterly banished and tabooed by our

with the nerve, grit, and aggresslveness
90 accomplish what We had set out TO do.
These are the main reasons why We have
succeeded. and no one will deny our sue
cess has been deserved without doing us
an injustice.
We have had our set backs and trou-
bles. but have continued the fight. We
have had several slumps but have always
recovered and come back stronger than
before. When We returned home IN the
lead from our second Eastern trip. We
had our worst slump by losing five out Of
six games in one week, but this slump
only spurred Us on more than ever in our
determination, and we went after the
other fellows harder than ever.

selves justice. We have the best hitting
team in the country. and a hrst-class

Jennings was modest in assuming any
credit for the Tigers success. However.
il is reasonable and only fair 20 Jennings

been lost except for Jhe-cOnsJant coaching

certainly prevented more serious
confagration. The fremen worked
two hours before extinguishing the
blaze.
There was a report that man had
fallen into the Christiana river near
the gas plant but the police, after in

SCORES HIGH
LICENSE Men
Royal Raymond Speaks on
the Temperance Question
at Grace Church

In an address at Grace Church last
evening the field secretary Of the Anti
License Committee, Royal Raymond,
took a hopeful view of the outlook for
Ia successful anu-license campaign
next November.
He paid his respects to the high-li-
cense people by saying that their ac-
tiviues had been so limited previous
to this time that they had scarcely
been heard of, and that not until they
were forced face to face with the
proposition of having to take sides
either with the no-licens4 forces or the
saloon contingent, did they begin to
advocate high-license.
He expressed the belief that any man
who claimed to be a leader of Christian
men should be ashamed to confess that
with all the opportunities afforded he
had not yet formed an opinion with
regard to the greatest moral question
of the day
Mr.. Raymond also referred to the
editorial articles which recently APP
peared about the sales Of liquor In the
drug stores of Kansas.
Attorney General G. w. Trickett has
stated oficially, said Mr.. Raymond
that the sales Of liquor in the drug
stores of Kansas instead of increasing
as the dispatches state, are decreasing
RAPIDLY. The apparent increase OF
sales is due to the fact that there had
been a laxity Of law-enforcement, and
the druggists had been careless IN f'e-
cording the sales made. Attorney
Trickett had twenty-five Of the drug
gists Of the city arrested, and fifteen
of them committed for contempt ol
court. and as a result the druggists Of
the rest Of the state have become
very careful about recording all sales

PASTORS SPOKE ABOUT 1T

Predictions Of disaster have had an
appalling effect upon prospective ex-
cursionits from this city, and yester-
day caused pastors of two churches
to denounce whoever started the
startling reports.
For several days word has gone from
mouth to mouth that "an astrologer
at the Lyceum Theatre had prophesied
that everybody who went on an eN-
cursion on Monday and Thursday next
Ohis weeIs( would be drowned" Some
Of the finer details were that the
astrologer had prophesied that the eX-
cursion boats down the Delaware river
to-day and Thursday would go
aground near ew Castle and all the
excursionists would be drowned.
The rumors have ben so persistent
as to be believed by hundreds of per-
sons They also had the effect oi
causing some who had planned to 60
on excursions to remain home.

cursion to Woodland Beach for tho
benefit of St. Mary's Roman Catholi1
Church to-day on the steamer Thoma.

Scott Methodist Sunday school is Ia
go to Woodland Beach on Thursday
and the "astrologer" rumor has em-
bedded fears in the minds of members
and friends of the church to such an
extent that the Rev. r. X. Stephenson
spoke on the subject yesterday
ell dubbed the person who startd the
reports as IAN irresponsible agent OF
the devil" and declareded that there
was not the least semblance of truth
in the reports. He said that any per-
son who wished to go on st. Mary
excursion or Scott excursion could dc
so without having any fear.
"If the Lord had any statement tC
make about this he would not make
! IL through an agent ~ the devil. bu
