President Taft this afternoon
signed the reciprocity bill passed
by the senate Saturday and it be-

Just when the Canadian reci-

vision of opinion among authori-

Senator Reed Smoot (Eep.

day asserted that the first section
of the bill could not take effect
until 1t had been passed by the
Canadian parliament.

"there is a strong opinion amcng
senators that it will take effect on
the passage of the bill by con-
gress, even If Canada at that time

1t is nothing short of remarkable that
a team which has undergone SO many
changes and apparently lost the play
ers who made 1t a great aggregation
should continue to be a contender In
the pennant race as are the Cubs Had
any one suggested a year ago that the
Chicago team would be leading the
present race without King, Chance
Overall. Steinfeldt or Evers being in
the lineup, there might have been
work for lunacy. commission. and yet
all this has happened Evers and
Chance were considered the pivot
around which this base ball machine
whirled, and yet neither is now in the
game. and still the Cubs are leading.
True their margin is short one and
longer. but 1T is remarkable that a
team SO changed in a few months
should even be contender in the race.
1t is wonderful race the old league
Is having. Chicago, New York and
Pittsburgh are but eleven points apart.
and the chances are that they will hang
to each other. without either getting an
advantage, until the present eastern
trip is over.
Pittsburgh seems to have the best
chance to win the flag. If the team can
hold its own until Wagner returns to
the game it will be in q position to
make good squirt at home The
Giants are not gaining the ground they
need to stand off the final western trip.
while the Cubs are sadly in need of
pitchers. OF course, much of the
Pirates chances will depend on whether
or not O'Toole will prove of any serv-
ice. If the high-priced youngster can
win a few games for his team the
Pirates look as If they would be a
factor in the worlds series.
While 1t may be true that O'Toole.s s
arm is not at its best. this perhaps is
not the only reason Manager Clarke~has
not used him. 1t may be that he Will
give O'Toole a chance to break In
against a weak team like Boston in the
hope of getting him started right. 1t
makes a lot of difference in player
whether his debut is a success or failure
Victory brings confidence. and Clarke no
doubt is pointing O'Toole for game
which he should not have much trouble
winning.
There is q rule which prevents an UNI
pire from reversing his decision unless
he is convinced that one of the playing
rules has been violated, and yet 1t would
seem only fair that il one umpire rem
dered a decision on a play which ne was
not In good position to see he should get
the opinion of his associate-and be gov
erned accordingly. In the game at Phil
adelphfa Yesterday one umpire declared
a batter out on line drive to the out
field and yet when he consulted the heid

umpire he was convinced that the ball
had been trapped and he promptly de-
ciared the batter safe. This reversal OF
the decision caused the defeat of the
Phillies and a protest from the head Of
that club. In accordance with the rules
there is hardly any way for President
Lynch not to allow the protest, and Yet
II seems unsportsmanlike not to allow
the reversal of the decision il il was in
correct. II the umpire who first declared
the batter out was not In good a po-
sition to judge whether the ball was fair
ly caught or trapped, there should be no
objection for him 20 consult his associate
IL the latter was in better position
to judge the play. Square dealing is all

Barring Hal Chase. who is undoubt-
edly the best first baseman in either
major league, Washington seems to
have in Schaefer the best first base
man In the American League. As
hitter and base runner Schaefer has
proven himself the superior of all his
rivals. Strange enough Scha efer played
six seasons in the American League
before his ability a first baseman
was discovered. McAleer tried him at
second and in the outfield. and he did
not show up satisfactorily in either
position. but from the very first day
that he was played at first he has
been a success. Had Hugh Jennings
been able to foresee how well Schaefer
intO tHdL pOSIIlOn ne WOulQ DTOD-
ably have retained him instead of trad
ing him to Washington, for the Tigers
have not had as capable a man at first

Nor does Schaefer's showing appear TO
be a flash in the pan. He has steadily
improved in his work at the bag, and
while no doubt McAleer will expert
ment with some new hands next spring
1t VIII be no easy matter to find a
player who will give better satisfac-
ton than has Schaefer.
That Brooklyn team has been a thorn
in the sides of the leaders in the National
League race this year. simply because IL
has some high-class pitchers who insist
on being in form againt the teams that
are fighting for the pennant Though
down in the race Brooklyn has had
something to say which teams should
battle for the flag. and TO its good work
against the leaders the present close race

love to see that boy pitch. Donovan ana
Harris White. there are two of kind,
and they are certainly wonders"
The Nationals have not been exactly
hitting to the liking of their manager of
late. Sort of falling off, but McAleer is
sure he will take the series with the
Tigers if his team can show their best
!, quality at bat.
McAleer will probably coach another
all-star team against the Athletics to pre-
pare the world champions to repeat in
the series with the National Leaguers.
1t all depends on what team lands the
old league pennant. Jim is not certain
about the race in the old league. He
says 1t exists between three clubs, New
York. Pittsburgh and Chicago. He does
not favor New York strongly, but be-
lieves that either Pittsburgh or Chicago
should cop, as these clubs finish the
season at home. If McAleer forms an
all-star aggregation again this fall Her
man Schaefer is sure to be a member.
McAleer says he wouldn't form a team
without Schaefer
The Tigers have also remarked at times
that things wouldn't look as bad If Her
man had been playing in Detroit this sea-
son. The German has certainly played
great ball for Washington and McAleer
likes to make that statement strong here
In Detroit With Schaefer's hitting and
fielding to aid Detroit the Tigers would
have been better off in the percentage
column. Schaefer's humor also came in
fine in the tight situations that the club
confronted when he was member of the
Detroit team
I'm Philadelphia last fall had Schaefer

classes and masses the way 1t always
does. Although Johnson has not had the
best season of his career, he is still

flock to the park to see the big Swede

of Cashion and they want to look that
