New York September 27.-Never be-
fore in the history of professional base
ball has the home stretch in the race
for the remnants of the two major
leagues been reached with the leading
clubs so closely punched, and with the
following of the game excited to such
a pitch of acute interest In both
leagues the leaders-New York in the
National, and Detroit in the American
held the honors tonight by l per cent.
Chicago, in second place in the Ma
tional league, is seven points ahead of
Pittsburg while Chicago, in the Amer
lean, is but three points behind Cleve-
land for second position, to which place
the latter club fell today through the
defeat of Philadelphia by Detroit.
The worlds series, which the PEN
nant winners will play Immediately
after the regular season. means much
to the men financially, for they get
goodly share of the receipts of the first
four games played. Under the ruling
of the national commission the series
consists of seven games, and the win
ner is the club which scores the first
four wins. The contests are played on
the grounds of the clubs figh ting for
the championship. OF the receipts, the
national commission gets 10 per cent
from all the games, while from the first
four games, the players receive the re-
mainder after the commission has re-
ceived it's percentage. The money in
the players pool is divided so per cent
to the winning club and 40 per cent to
the loser. The receipts of the remain
ing games belong to the homogeneous
of the two clubs. Last year Detroit
and Chicago played to box receipts ag-
gregating $101,72S.

In the American league, as in the
National, there is little to choose
Cleveland Detroit, Chicago and St.
Louis have a different situation con-
fronting them from that in New York,
Chicago and Pittsburg in the other or
ganization. While the last three teams
have the clubs which have been easy
for them, the four contenders in the
American league still have to meet
teams which have been hard for them
to beat. Cleveland has one game with
Washington. three with Philadelphia,
three with st. Louis and two with Chi
cago. OF this group Washington and
st. Louis have beat the Maps in their
series, the Senators having won 10 out
of % games and st. Louis 10 out of
10. Cleveland has beaten Philadelphia
13 out of 10 games and Chicago 19 out
of 20. OF all the remaining teams De-
troit has to play it has bested all eX-
cept st. Louis, with which club it has
broken even in 20 games. The Tigers
have won IL out of 10 games from Chi
cago. 10 out of IS with the Athletics
and IL out of 20 with Washington. The
eastern teams have been beaten by the
, White Sox. but as Manager Jones
warriors have six out of 10 games TO
! play with the western organizations,
they have difficult times in front of
them. st. Louis has four games to
play with New York and three with
( Cleveland AS it has the better of both
these teams in heir series, chances are
! that ST Louis will climb up in the
race for the pennant.

THE CORNER STONE
Will Be Laid Sunday, Nov. I, for New
Parish House at ST. Marks.

The corner stone of the Parish house
will be laid Sunday, Nov. l. All Saints
day, ut st. Marks church. an event
which marks the beginning of the de-
velopment of an institutional life in
the parish a more fitting day could
not have been chosen for the occasion,
when the entire parish will honor the
memory of one Of its departed saints,
the late Hannah Bridge Williams.
\ life long member OF the parish,
with Il full appreciation of the value of
the positive faith of the Catholic doe
trine, Mrs. Williams added to life of
devotion to Christ that life of charity
and self-sacritice which tends to the
spread of His Kingdom. There are no
greater witnesses to ones high quail
ties than the friends he makes and
keeps. We learn to know the worth
Of such ones as We lose them and the
unanimous vote Of the parish that the
building should be erected as a mem
0fial to Mrs. Williams is a manifesta-
ton of the desire to revere her MEM
ory.
The laying OF the corner stone will
be proceeded by celebration of the
Holy Eucharist The choir with the
priest and acolytes and members of
the congregation will then proceed to
the church yard where the service in
connection With the laying of the stone

Delivered by Taft at the Gompers-
Bryan Labor Legislation Plans.

Buffalo. n. Y. Oct. 3O.-Sledge- ham,
mer blows at the Gompers- Bryan labor
legislation plans We're delivered here
tonight by William II. Taft. before
two immense audiences. Mr.. Taft
gave the names of many labor leaders
high in the councils of the American
Federation of Labor. who. he said
were leaving Mr.. Gompers.
The attempt of Mr. Gompers" he
declared with great emphasis, ITO de-
liver the labor vote of this country, is
as audacious an act OF political ef-
fronty as has ever occurred in the
history of politics. 1t is most re-as-
surfing to note that the men associated
with Mr.. Gompers in the executive
council of the Federation of Labor are
falling away from him in this effort
of his to make the Federation of Labor
a political factor
The men who decline to follow him
are John Mitchell. James Duncan. first
vice president of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor Daniel Keefe the
head of the Longshoreman's Union, w.
y. Ryan, secretary and treasurer of
the United Mine Workers, A. L. Faulk-
ner. president of the Window Glass

retary and treasurer of the Interna-

Carthy. grand president. Tug Firemen
and Linemen's Association; w. E.
Fuller, T. j. Dolan, international sec
retary, Steam Shovel and Dredgemen

sort to every extreme method possible
to secure success"

BRYAN IN OHIO.
Has Pretty Good Time-WiIl Devote
His Attention Today to Indiana.

Cleveland. Oct 30-After travelling
up and down and across the state of
Ohio today, VIM. j. Bryan arrived at
$50 o'clock tonight and was the reclp-
lent of a monster demonstration. A
dozen or more marching clubs bearing
torches and headed by bands, paraded
through the principal streets and es-
corted the Democratic candidate for
the Central armory, where he spoke to
q vast number of people, who wildly
cheercd him. Later he went over to
Gray's arlnory and spoke again to an
other crowd of immense proportions.
The streets were dense with people,
who contributed a noisy welcome.
Beginning at Napoleon, early this
morning, another tour Of the native
state of his Republican opponent, Mr.
Bryan heaped condemnation upon John
l.. Rockefeller and Andrew Carnegie
at every point where his train stopped.
The Democratic candidate had Observ
ed in the morning papers authorized
statements by the two financiers that
they We're supporting Mr.. Taft. OF Mr..
Rockefeller he said that the oil mag
nate was supporting Mr.. Taft because
Mr. Taft was supporting him, and con-
cerning Mr. Carnegie, he accused hin.
of absorbing competitor of the Steel
Trust after getting the approval Of
President Roosevelt and said that the
Steel Trust today ''is supporting Mr..
Taft as it helped to secure his nominal
ton"
He declared that more than $4,000
Democrats have contributed voluita
rily to the Democratic campaign fund
and then said:
II would rather be elected President
ly the aid of $4,000 Democrats, each
giving q little than to be elected Presi-
uent by the contributions of Il few
great trust magnates. and then have
them come to the back door of the
White House and tell me what l must
do in order to pay them back
Today's journey through the state
was but repetition of the visit
week ago Great and demonstrative
crowds tnrned out everywhere to greet
the nominee. AT Bowling Green, how
ever, MI. Bryan was subjected to re-
peated Interruptions by a man in the
crowd who insisted on an explanation
Of how the unemployed of the country
would be benefited by Il reduction il
the tariff. heated colloquy between
the two followed the refusal of the man
to tell who he was or to what party he
telonged. Mr.. Bryan. however, in his
own time, answered the man and
squelched him, after a Bryan sympa-
thiZer had threatened to take him ont
of the crowd, which became thoroughly
aroused over the incident.
Mr.. Bryan made 10 speeches in Ohio,
stops being made at Napoleon. Toledo,
bowling Green, Findlay, Fremont,
SanGuaky, Bellevue, Lorain and in this
city. Mr.. Bryan was pleasantly sur
Irised ar Toledo when he found NJ. B.
