The Cincinnati.owned Cubs are prop

Sunday was red letter day for Chi.

this season-or any other time for that
matter - three major league ball
games were staged. Detroit with
Cobb and Crawford Pittsburg with
Wagner and st. Louis with Mordecai
Brown were the opposing clubs at the
three parks.
II was a merry battle for popularity,
and no one can tell whether the Sox
or Feds attracted the larger crowd.
The Cubs, although they played be.

knowledged out Of the race. Only the

tendance, the exact figures will have
to remain unknown to the public.
It is left for the fans to decide. The
Federal league follower will back the
Feds. The Sox rooter gives 1t to the
southsiders. and SO 1t goes. The con.
servative estimates have 1t that more
than 10000 were at each park. The
Cubs attracted 1000, which was pret.

the act out Of the corner Of his eye.

WAR TO COST TEN BILLIONS
French Authority Thinks 1t Will Last Seven Months and Check Eco

Paris.-Paul Leroy -Beaulieu, the economist, estimates that each of the greater belligerents is spending an av- craze equivalent to $200,000,000 month ly.
 In presenting these figures to the Academy of Moral and Political Sci ences he said that lte considered 1t probable that the war would continue seven months from August 1.
 Accordingly the five greater powers engaged were committed to an expen- diture of $7,000000,000 Each of the smaller states, including Japan, will have expenses of $60O, O,OO0,O0O to $SO0.- 100000 to meet
 M. Leroy-Beaulieu cOntinued:
 One might say that the war will cost the fighting powers roughly S9,- 000,000,000 to $l0000, 900.
 These figures, which do not take into account the losses of revenues during hostilities, will be met, first, by the issuance of notes against the accumulated gold in the government banks; second, by the issuance of short term treasury bonds to which all governments are having recourse during the war, and third, by delaying payments for military necessities.
 The larger part of the savings of the world will be absorbed by the tax ing up of national loans and economic progress will be seriously checked"
