been an unmistakabe scare in the camps
! of the probable world series contenders
/ for several days and the beginning of
the new playing week finds anything but
feeling of serene satisfaction prevalent
around Shibe park and the tpolo grounds
Both John MeGraw and Connie Mack
doubtless believe their respective teams
will top the lists when the major league
season ends October 5. But each can
hardly help realizing that unless his men
play better ball than they have exhib-
tied on most of their recent appearances
the plans for post-season activities of
the Giants and Athletics may have to
undergo radical revision
Had the Philles not halted in their
winning rush at the critical moment Sat
urday and dropped two games to the
dashlng Braves, the Giants would be but
six games ahead of the Philadelphia Ma
uonals today. Had the Clevelands not
experienced midweek slump and
dropped three games running to Chicago
and Detroit, the Athletics lead would
have been reduced to three and a half
games
Pacemakers Break Even
In each league the best the pacemat
.ers could pry out of the weeks work
was an even break. The Giants, by rea-
son of their losses to Boston and Brook,
Sn and the decision by President Lynch
winch took from them the game in Phil
adelphia on August 30, previously credited
to them by forfeiture, saw their lead
drop from II to eight games. The Ath
letlcs' thrice beaten by Boston and once
by Washington, were more fortunate.
Ihelr margin of only seven and a half
games was reduced by but one game
as the Clevelands struck snae in Chi
cago, dropping two games there and one
in Detroit before they resumed victo-
rious work
The Giants have won only six out of
their last IA games. The Athletics have
done slightly better, winning eight and
dropping six; but meanwhile, the Cleve
lands have pushed them hard. capturing
10 while losing but three games. The
Phillies in the same period lost five CON

All Things Changing
I'VE live in an age of transition The
old order is changing. Social customs
and moral ideals are fermentifg. Is it
wholly for the best? Civilization grows
in comp1exity, so we become subject to
a multiplicity of Impressions. AS this
intensity of life increases, we are
tempted to make of life fetish. We
are intoxicated with living. We have
an abnormal craving for new things,
new sensations, new ideas, new excite
ments. There is tendency toward
over sophistication. Can the old ideal
of homelife be disintegrating in face
of these changes? AS life is modern
lied are we breaking away from the
rugged virtues of our fathers, from
the sweet fragrance of home and fire.
side from the love and influence of
mother? Standing in this Christian
pulpit let me leave this one plea:
Modernize life by exalting the sacred
ideal of home life, and keep very near
to us the love and influence Of mother"
