New York, Aug. 11.-Although the
concluding games of the major league
baseball season are still two months
away, interest in the pennant races
is already overshadowed by the pos
sibilities of play in the worlds series.
This unusual situation in the camp
of the national sport is due entirely
to the runaway race being made by
the leading teams in the National
and American leagues Not in some
wears have such wide margins sepa-
rated the first and second clubs in
both major associations at this stage
of the pennant races. There have
been several examples of the social
ed runaway race in one or the other
OF the two big leagues, hut simulta-
neous and sustained spurts like those
uncovered by both the Giants and
Athletics are unusual
A glance back over the records OF
the clubs in both leagues during the
past few years shows that as a rule
where one league had leader we'll
out in front the struggle for the 9TH
er pennant was close and the out
come uncertain at this period of the
season. While the Athletics and
Giants are leading their respective
leagues by approximately a hundred
point margin over the runner-up, the
1912 records show the Boston Red
SoX had but half that advantage and
the Giants about quarters Of
their present margin In the Nation
al League New York had won sew
cnty-two and lost twenty-seven
games. or a percentage of .727, On
August Q. The Chicago Cubs were
trailing second eighty seven points
in the rear, with Pittsburg and Phil
adelphia holding third and fourth
places. The American League stand
ing showed Boston to have won sew
enty-two and lost thirty-five games,
with Washington second with sixty
five and forty giving Jake Stahls
Red Sox lead of fifty points. The
Athletics were still in the race and
the Chicago White SoX had an out
side chance from fourth place.
The 1871 races We're far closer, for
the Athletics had but twenty-five
points over the Detroit Club in the
American League, and Chicago was
leading Pittshurg by Just nine points
in the National But fifty points sep
arated the first four clubs in the Sc
nior Association, while the New York
team holding fourth place in the

the rear of the Athletics, with Detroit
and Boston between :, and the lead
ers. The races OF 1910 as viewed at
this date showed conditions more
closely resembling the present condi-
tion. The Athletics were travelling
at top speed, with a clear lead OF
eighty points over Boston. The De-
troit Tigers were third, thirty points
in the rear of Boston, and New York
was fourth but nine points below the
Tigers. In the National League Chi
cago was seventy points ahead Of
Pittsburg, with the New York Giants
third, ten points separating them from
the Pirates. Philadelphia was a poor
fourth.
Fittsburg and Detroit were the
pacemakers in 1909, but neither team
had anything like the margin of
safety that the present leaders pos
sess. The Pirates had won sixty
eight and lost twenty-seven games
for a percentage of .715. The Chi
cago Clubs were right at their heels,
less than thirty points separating
leader and lunner-up. The New
York and Cincinnati clubs were third
and fourth respectively, but far be-
low the percentage standing of the
first and second clubs. The Ameri-
can League race was even closer. De-
eroit with sixty-two games won and
thirty-eight lost had just twenty
points over Philadelphia, which club
had won sixty and lost forty games
for a percentage of 800. Boston and
Cleveland were both within striking
distance Of the leaders, for there
were but seventy-fivs points between
the Tigers in first place and the
Cleveland club in the fourth.

keNDRlcK RETURNS THANKS.
Gives Press Credit For Victory il
Railroad Amendment

The success of the campaign for
the adoption of the amendment 10
Article 9, Section ., Of the constitu-
tuition, is largely due to the suppor,
given the proposition by the press
of the state according to State Sen
ator c. Z. Kendricll Of Ardmore, who
was chairman of the committee in
charge of the campaign.
"The result of the election is natu-
rally very gratifying" said Senator
Kendrlck.
I'VE. who had charge Of the cam
paign. however, do not feel like TAX
ing very mu/ ecrdit to ourselves for
The victory. The vote by which Sec
tion 9 of Article 9 of the constit1-
tion has been amended, was owing,
almost entirely, to the magnificent
support of work done by the press
of the state. The big dailies of Ok
lahoma as we'll as the country news
papers, having given generously both
of their editorial and news columns
for the fight, the credit for the vic
tory belongs, almost entirely, to the
press. 1t is another illustration OF
the great power of good for evil
of the press when working together
for united efforts of the accomplish
ment of the particular object.
Should the good results coming
from the election prove to be what
the friends of the measure have eX-
pected, the people of the state of
Oklahoma will owe the great debt oi
gratitude to the newspapers for car
rying on this work Of education and
enlightenment"

Steamship Agents Blame Decrease of
80 Per Cent. Chiefly on the
Recent Floods.

New York.-Up to May s the first
cabin passenger traffic between this
port and Europe was 257 ahead of the
same period in 1912 west-bound and
1873 bookings ahead east-bound. The
second-cabin passenger traffic showed
an increase of 5000 west-bound and
2.434 east-bound from jan to May s
over last year.
Traffic east-bound from now on will
be about 80 per cent. below last year
.cording to the steamship agents.
This, they say, is chiefly due to the
number of cancellations of bookings
made in January and February by
persons who were sufferers by the
floods in the middle west and by the
tornado in the Mississippi valley.
Generally the year Of the presiden-
tial election is a poor one for foreign
travel. but 1912 was very good year
Cancellations have been made in
the last few days not only on the older
Atlantic liners, but also on the first
cabin bookings of the Imperator,
Mauretania and Olympia.
The Atlantic steamship companies
look to the middle west and the west
for the bulk of their summer tourist
traffic. and the sudden falling off in
the demand for cabin accommodation
and the cancellations came as a sur
prise to them. A few of the more op
tlmistic agents hope that there will
be boom in the European tourist
traffic later on, but it will have to
come soon to have any effect on the
trade.
Conducted party traveltis also light.
according to the various tourist
agents, and there is not much hope of
1t picking up this year. The biggest
party this summer will be the 1000

BIG FLYING BOAT IS FAST
Mile Minute in Hammonds-
port, NY, Trial.

Hammondsport, n. Y-Harold F.
McCormick's big flying boat, designed
by Glenn H. Curtiss, was tried out
here and proved successful beyond
Curtiss' expectations The new flying
boat is large and heavy, as compared
with previous machines of this type
built in America 1t has a spread of
more than 40 feet and weighs when
loaded, considerably more than a ton.
The power plant consists of motor
weighing more than 800 pounds and
developing 106 horse power. 1t was
expected that the boat would be sea-
worthy, but not particularly fast. The
trials proved that it would make more
than mile minute flying in the air
and about so miles an hour when use
as a motor boat in the water.
Mr.. Curtiss made the first trip, ac-
companied by l.. A. Villas of Chicago
and another flying boat owner With
in hundred yards from the starting
point the boat rose from the water
and sailed gracefully down the lake.
1t is said to be McCormick's inten-
tion to use the lying boat between his
office in Chicago and his home at Lake
Forest, % miles distant. The Nc.
mick boat was taken back to the fac
tory for the final touches and will be
ready for shipment to Chicago within

TREATY VIOLATED
INSISTS JAPAN
CALIFORNIA; Action is Also De-
CIared Political.
THE JAPS SHARP REJOINDER.
Officials Have Concluded That Japan
ese Officials Have Shown a Re-
markabIe knowledge Of
American Law.

Toxic, Japan.-The rejoinder of
japanese to the United States note
on the subject of The California alien
land ownership legislation reiterates
that the land bill passed by the Cali
fornia Legislature violates the spirit
of the Japanese-American treaty by
discriminating against friendly
power
1t points out that even if the ques
tion is an economic one, it enters the
domain of international relations and
therefore becomes political question.
The note says that the California
land legislation violates Article |. of
the Japanese-American treaty of 1911,
which authorizes subjects or citizens
of the contracting parties to own or
lease houses, which are inseparable
parts of real estate.
1t also declares that the new bill
violates the Fourteenth Amendment
to the United States Constitution re-
During the States to grant equal pro-
lection under its laws to all persons
within its jurisdiction.
Interest in the Japanese-American
land ownership controversy is un-
Gbated in Japan and continues to be
the paramount topic of conversation
among all classes Several mass
meetings of protest are being ar
ranged.
Tatsue YamamotO, minister of
agriculture and commerce, in :, state
ment declares that the Japanese gov
ernment is desirous of participating
in the Panama Pacific Exposition at
San Francisco, but owing to .,opular
feeling on the California land ques-
tion it feels obliged to wait in order
to determine public sentiment toward
the exposition before proceeding fur
ther with its plans.

poned its reply to Secretary of State
Bryan's proposed plan of International
arbitration, which, it is understood, is

MAY GROW "RaINLESS WHEAT
DR.. Macdonald, South African Expert
Claims to Have Made the New
Discovery.

London.-Dr. Macdonald of the
South African department of agricul'
ture declares that it is now possible
to grow a "rainless wheat"-that is
to say, a crop upon which no single
drop of rain has fallen between seed
time and harvest. 1t does not main
tain it's existence without moisture
but all that is necessary is obtained
from the deposit of previous season
in moisture saving fallows."
This would mean a great boon for
those areas where the rainfall is un'
certain and irrigation. for various rea-
sons, impossible.
