MANY PLAYERS HURT.
Chances Of Several Clubs Marred
by Injured Men.
DetroIt's Chances for American League
Pennant Materially Lessened by
Accldents-Other Clubs Suffer
Same Way.

It isn't in the breaks Of the game
that luck counts In the long run In
baseball; the strongest team will win
the pennant every time provided 1t
has no worse luck in the way of in
5uries and illness to players than 9th.
er teams. It Is luck of this latter sort
which often goes long way toward
making or breaking a team; making
the team by its absence, breaking 1t
by visitation. Injuries or illness are
playing big part this year, and it has
come to be almost an axiom that q
team to win the pennant must be lucky
in not having players incapacitated.
A probable exception this year will be
the Athletics. Last year the Athletics
were extremely fortunate in the scare
ity of players laid up. This year they
had Eddie Collins out of the game for
while with an injury, also Dan Muir
ply, but threaten to win the pennant
nevertheless. .... G--a- :
Detroit's chances for the American
league pennant were hurt materially
by misfortune to players Nor did
these come singly. Gainor, the hard
hitting first baseman, broke his wrist
early In the season and has been of
little service. The shifts necessary
to fill his place broke up the team
more or less. The spiking of George
Moriarity crippled the Tigers at a
critical time and the absence Of George
Mullen while getting over the effects
of an operation was further handi-
cap. Then Cobb became overtaxed
and was forced to lay off and rest.
Mishaps are part of the game and
each manager endeavors to keep his
team fortified against them. He is
4 fortunate or far-seeing manager who
can keep wholly fortified, and a still
more fortunate manager who escapes
hard luck coming from casualties to
his men. One of the most fortunate In
that regard has been McGraw of the
Giants, though to do McGraw justice
he doesn't trust to luck, but is always
watchful and prepared for emergen-
cies. That is one of his most valuable
traits as a manager. Still neither he
nor any other man can be so fortified
that no mishap could cripple his team.
and this thing Of accidents is more or
less bugaboo with all managers.
The Phillies have come pretty near
winning the pennant or at least been
dangerous to the last If they hadn't
been unlucky. The accidents to Titus
and Doom just about wrecked the
Phillies' chances for the champion
ship.
The New York Americans suffered
greatly from illness or injuries. Chase,
Sweeney, Gardner and Wolter being
among those who have been forced to
stay out of the game for periods OF
varying lengths. This club never yet
has enjoyed season in which it went
through the whole campaign with its
full strength undisturbed. The Cleve-
lands this year were set back by in
juries to Lajoie and Jackson. -.

which belonged to him.
Safer is one of the youngest, If not
the youngest player in the major
leagues holding a regular position.
Before he was secured by the Cubs
he had not even seen a big league
game. AS Safer sat on the bench
awaiting his opportunity he absorbed
much baseball by watching his team
mates in action. He did not chafe be-
cause he was not asked at once to
take regular position, but learned
more by observation than most play
ers do. Now Chance Is quoted as say
ing he would as soon have Safer and

Painters for Maine Thinkers.

In the following editorial from TN
Battle Creek Enquirer Maine people
mav find food for thought. II Is time
70 think alorg these lines in view o'
the Democratic attempt to boom TIT
saloon business in Maine.
The argument that a wet county
is better than dry county never
goes past campaign use--it never se's
into community advertising.
Nobody ever saw town or county
listing among its assets to when II
calls public attention. So many sa-
looms
Everybody has seen listed among
the assets, And no saloons.
Nobody ever saw an employer au-
vertise for help. with the stipuiatioh'
'Drinker preferred.
Everybody has seen-and may see
thousands daily-the help wanted au-
yertisement which stiplates, NO booz-
er.'
Nobody ever saw an instance OF the
saloons being thrown open at time
of public crisis. when peace and good
order were threatened.
Every ybody has noted among the
first acts Of riot conditions, or OF other
occasions where good citizenship was
severely tested. the announcements
The saloons are ordered closed
The campaign to defeat local OPP
ton in Calhoun county is based, flrst'
on the claim that the law has been
failure. Facts from every angie Oh
county and city government and bust
ness experience prove this claim false.
The campaign is next based on the
general claim that Wet county is
better than dry county.

Extra Sessions OF Congress.

Extra sessions of Congress have not
ben so frequent in receht renrs as
thcy We're In earlier days. In all. IA
OF these nave been held and Presi-
dent Taft's call is for the 18th. Al
this time WASHINGTON is specializing
on III" probable length of the session.
Not much satisfaction can be cleaned
from . review of other extra sessions.
The shortest session in the history of
tie United States was tlat of the saith
Co,crcSs called by President Pierce,
wllicu lasted only ten days. and the
longest was that of the 18th CON
gress. called by President Madison,
Which lasted ~ days.
Presidents lave frequently sum
monea the Senate into session for the
purpose of ratifying treaties. but sucn
occasions are not considered extra
sessions of Congress.
The record of the past extra s"S-
sions indicates that the President may
secure that for which he has called
the assembly. All but three of the IL
extraordinary sessions have done the
will of the President, and nearly all
of them have transacted other busi-
ness than that for which they were
called. The President cannot limit
CONGRESS tn the consideration ii any
particular subject or list of subjects
and Hlany extra sessions have bosn
made the occasion for legislation in
addition IL that recommended BY the
President. Therefore, while Taft has
called the Congress specifically tn con-
slider his proposed trade agreement
with Canada. Congress may take it
upon itself to tackle the whole tariff
problem in advance of the work of
the tariff board which the President
has so strongly urged. OF course it
is to be hoped that the lawmakers will
not hold such a wet blanket Of men
ace over the business of the country
