CUBS ANDy GIANTS MINUS.
 THEIR PLEADING CATCHERS
Meyers and Archer Out of Game Be-
 cause oftPainful Injuries.

Both the Giants and the Cubs, tho two contenders for this years Ma tfonai League ipennant, are without the services ofttheir star catcher. The other day, in the Cardinal series Jimmy Archer of the Bruins tore a ligament of his knee while running to first, and it is reported that he won't be able to play again this sea son Now comes the news that Chief Meyers, the hard-hitting backstop of the Giants. Is suffering from a sprain- ed toe as result of an accident in the recent Brooklyn series. He can hardly put his foot on the ground, and thinks it. will be at least a week before he gets back into the game.
 It seems a shame that the depend able mask Waearer can't get into the PhiIly series. his services will be badly needed Seven games in all will be played in four days against the Dooinitee, and may be when the In dian is able to resume play the dam age will have been done. McGraw will have to use his second-sring man, Wilson, and his third stringer, Hartley, behind the bat. In the meanwhile Tom Needham, the slow moving ex-Bostonian, is doing all the catching for the Cubs

In the later rounds Kilbane cut loose and came through with some real fighting, backing Dundee about the punches.
 Dundee had the better of the first. second, fifth and sixth rounds The third was even, and the fourth, sew enth, eighth. ninth and tenth went to the champion. KiIbane landed rounds that he earned than Dundee landed in the sessions that went to him Kilbane won by a slight but clear margin.
 Many fans criticized KiIbane for be- ing under wraps in the early rounds Ki1bane used excellent judgment in not cutting loose till he had solved the Italians style. After the bout Kilbane was seen in his dressing room and explained his tactics convincing ly.
 said the champion, flor me to have started mixing it right off the reel with the Italian. Dundee is a danger ous fellow, has puzzling style and a damaging punch. I like to please the fight fans. but my title is worth lot to me and I didn't want to take any chances with the Italian until I had solved his style. Then I saw that he was wearing himself out Jumping around the ring

IN MAJOR LEAGUES

There is something about going to
 Philadelphia for seven game series easily be given a mighty sinister sort
 of turn 1t wasr't more than four years ago that the Giants trouped
 gaily over to Quakertown so well fix
 ed in the way of a lead that one vic
 tory. over. what was then Billy eNIur- rays team would practically cinch the pennant for them. They didn't win It for various reasons, one Cova1eski
 being the chief of them. Now Mo Graw and his men are back on Penn soll for seven game stretch that may mean everything to them and which may mean nothing at all. It is the series Chance and his wailing crew are banking on to bring the Giants back to within mailing dis tance; it is admitted even in Chicago that if the champions can get across this stretch with any credit to them selves 1t will be almost impossible to stop them. Four years ago, with prospects almost as bright as they are today, a trip to Philadelphia was the, forerunner to ruin. And now Horace Fogel is probably acquiring nervous Indigestion worrying over the possi-- bility that another Philadelphia team. may jump in between his dear friend McGraw and this years pennant-
 Boston has shown the Giants mighty high grade of hospitality this season, so why begrudge the Braves the victory that gave Otto Hess the right to stand beside Hub Purdue as the naughty possessor of a Giant scalp? The champs opened their first series at Boston last April with a de- feat which was also a shut-out Tues day making their final appearance at the Columbia avenue grounds, they lost again. But think of the long string or glorious triumphs sandwich ed in between.
 Ty Cobb's advice to the Red Sox pitchers to feed the Giants speed and a icr brings back mem ories of one day last spring when the Giants encountered smoky, and handed him a beating in an exhibition game at Washington.
 The last time the Giants were in Ph1lly Fogel called off two games be- cause of slight rain fall that ceased four of five hours before game-time.5 The claim was that Phi1a delphia fans do not care for baseball unless the same is played on a perfectly dry field; the truth of the m natter was that Fogel had a badly crippled ball club it would have to rain now to induce Horace to call off any of these games with Chance and Murphy looking to the Quakers to stop the Giants rush.
 McGraw and his athletes would feel a heap more cheerful if the Pirates had won two games from the Cubs Tuesday, but find considerable con 5olation in the thought that Lurid Lou Richie was the victim of the Lhree-hit game flashed by Claude incidentally, couldn't hold a place In the Western League couple ot three years ago.
 Wood and Bedient both looked good enough to throw a scare into any number of Giant rooters Labor Day, put Tim Murrane's only criticism of l he Red Sox management is that it 1 las not appreciated the weakness of ne cup pitching staff and stren gth- ened it. or at least tried to strengthen | |, Tor the last six weeks of the race. The step-father of baseball is rather l 'ptlnlstlcally inclined, too, as a rule. 1

THE .yEFFERGONIAN

is easy to see what will happen The only hope
they can nurse is that the reactfonaries of the
United States will come to the aid OF the party,
keep it in funds, and work through it's bosses to
get control Of the Government.
But the Republican party cannot be kept
alive as an avoWed instrument Of reaction. The
very character of the support for which it bids
makes that impossible. Special privilege cannot,
in the nature of things, work in the OPEN Nor
can it work through a party hopeiessly IN the
minority and fated to be wiped out altogether
Possibly the Republican machine will be use
full to special privilege while it continues to be
largely represented in Congress by holdoEer
Senators and Representatives. When the terms
OF these hoIdOVers expire the special interests
will have more use for the Republican party
than for the Socialist party.
Special privilege always has operated through
the party in power. It will work through the
Democracy, where it is strongly and faithfully
represented in Congress. The extent to which
special privilege will be able to succeed in it's
policy of working through the party in power
will determine the extent Of the gains to the
Progressive party from the Democratic ranks
One Of the best cartoons that has appeared
since the recent election is one Of Governor
Wilson puzzling over the problem IF the
cost Of living has increased 100 per cent in
ten years, how much can [ reduce it in four?"
And there is lot Of serious thought III
that question, too.
The cost Of living could be reduced
greatly, but VIII it be done? is what is
bothering the American people.
Will the President-elect figure that he can
reduce it enough to materially tighten the
burdens of the common people, and if he
figures that he can, will Congress accept his
figures?
Just SO much as the incoming administers
ton reduces the cost Of living-easing the
burden from the poor mans shoulder and
dividing up the load between the rich and
poor-just SO much will the incoming admin
istration be success.
Let the new administration fail to make
sweeping reductions in the tariff, and it will
be held responsible for endorsing the views
Of Prisedtn Taft.
If the Democrats fail to reduce the tariff
as much as was proposed in the bills that
Dir. Taft vetoed, they will say that Mr.. Taft
was right, and that the Democratic House
that put through the measures was wrong.
The new Democratic tariff bill must make
reductions as sweeping, at least, as those pro-
posed by the Democratic House at the last
session, or the Democrats will be in the atti-
tude of repudiating their own acts.
