TODAY'S RESULTS

New York, Oct. 6.-Although the
lead of the Chicago National League
club was slightly weakened by New
York's victory over Boston yesterday,
the situation remains practically un.
changed. AS on yesterday, it is pure.
ly question of New York's playing
practically faultless baseball in the re.
naming games even to tie Chicago for
the leading position in the National
League. In that event "play off" OF
the tie on neutral grounds will be
necessary to settle the championship.
OF course, there is a possibility that
the decision Of the National League
directors in the case of the New York.
Chicago tie game now under dispute
may upset the present calculations, as
all percentages have been figured on
the basis that the game was tie.
Neither Chicago nor Pittsburgh have
any more gariss III thefr regular sched'
ule. New York, however, plays two
more with Boston in this city, one to.
day and one tomorrow.

the Chicago club and Detroit will de-

weather bureaus prediction Of rain
and long before the hour set for the

a defeat for Chicago would mean that
Detroit captures the pennant with a
percentage Of 5SS. Should the rain
prove general today the game will be
played tomorrow or Thursday.

planned why he was supporting Dele
gate Andrews for reelection. He said
the people should stand together, ir-
respective Of politics, in order to OBJ
tain statehood for New Mexico.
Governor Curry caused an outburst
Of applause lasting several minutes,
when he said:
"If believed that Larrazolo could
win statehood quicker that Delegate
Andrews, I would be supporting him.
This is something we are doing for
ourselves and not for Andrews. We are
helping New Mexico to become state,
not helping Andrews to become a dele
