From present indications the Amer
lean league pennant winner this year
is going to enjoy a grand opportunity
for retrieving the honors OF its organ
ization in the worlds championship
series which annually forms the erows-
ing feature of the baseball year.
THAT THE CHICAGO CUBS HAVE
THE FIGHT OF THEIR LIVES THIS
YEAR IN WINNING THE TITLE IN
THEIR ORGANIZATION is A FACT
WHICH CAN NO LONGER BE DE
MED.
Pittsburg has been pushing the
WORLDS champions hard OF late and
New York Is but game or two away
from the Pirates. Any one OF the three
Is likely TO win a string of games that
will enable them 10 take the lead as
Pittsburg did early in the month.
The Cubs lack the dash with which
they were playing last year
and have suffered from many
injuries which must necessarily
have impaired the strength OF
their personnel. Chance Is play
ing but occasionally, Evers is in and
out OF the game with very bad ankle
Kings catching has been away below
par and the batting strength OF me
club has been very materially weaker
than In past seasons. Most important
of all. Brown Is the only one or the

fidence in Pfeister. overall has been

is not so much TO be feared.
IL will be impossible this year
for the Cubs TO rest up their men

tent In a big margin Of victories
They will have to keep working as
the American league teams are do
inc now. When the big series
comes along, they will be as like
iy to blow up as their rivals.
Will the Tigers be the ones TO test
the vulnerability OF the Cubs again.
Truly II looks very much that way
They are back in that tie with tho
Browns again, thanks TO their victory
over Boston and the fine pitching OF
Gates for washington which resulted
in a most appropriate trimming OF the
Missouri contingent. They are bat
ting finely once more and Mullins or
fective pitching will do much to help
them keep their place.
Big George looks to be his old
effective self once more. Into

REDISTRICTING OF
CITY is NECESSARY

A partial redistricting OF the city will
have TO take place before next fall,
judging by the conditions as they are
being brought to the notice OF some
OF the aldermen.
AS things are. some precincts are
so large that considerable portion
of the electors OF some wards into
smaller precincts. This is particularly
so In the Fifteenth ward. The third
precinct of that ward has 625 voters
registered and It is asserted that 400
more have moved into the precinct.
which is rapidly building up. since
last election.
A general election, when two or
more ballots have to be marked, only
about 500 voters can be handled at a
booth. Thus. unless the precinct is
divided. about half the voters OF that
district will be shut out from voting.
Formal protest has been made TO the
council by George o. Perry. president
of the Fifteenth Ward Republican club.
Similar conditions exist in the Sew
enteenth ward. which has been build
ing up rapidly. and in some sections
OF the western wards.
