Great Progress in 1913

Washington, Dec. 81. Twelve
months of 1913 wrought chances
in the American government
political, economic and financial
probably more far reaching than
any other year of the last quar-
ter century. This was apparent
todsy in a backward glance over
the memorable events of the
year in all branches of govern
mental activity.
A Democratic administration in
national affairs came to power in
this IL months with a Democrat
&c congress at his back for the
first time since Grover Cleveland
occupied the White House.
The first constitutional amend
ment since 1870 was perfected
providing two radical changes in
the fundamentals in government
an income tax and the direct
election Of United senator's.
The national bank and curren-
cy system, devised to float the
debt Of the Civil War and which
has operated ever since, was re
organized into a federal reserve
system in which the central bank
plan, the dominant system in
which the central bank pan, the
dominant system of Europe was
rejected and a vast scheme of f.
nancial reorganization perfect
ed.
a Democratic tariff law became
effective, the first since the Will
son bill Of 1893 and one Of the
most comprehensive tariff meas
ures ever enacted.
A parcel post system was
brought into successful operation
and some Its rates were later
reduced while certain limitations
were extended.

MORAN AIDS MATES
IN REDS UNIFORM
New Boston OutfieIder WaIlops
Out Hit That Beats
Giants.

BY one of the most remarka BILE
spurts in the history of baseball, the
Boston team. of the National League.
tied champion New York yesterday
for first place in the four cornered
pennant fight.
Boston didn't play yesterday, but
Cincinnati whipped the Giants for the
third straight game. and. as a result,
it now shares first place with the
New Englanders.
1t is significant that Outfielder Her
bert Moran defeated New York yes
terday with a two-base hit in the
ninth inning it being his third swat
of the game. Moran was playing his
farewell game with Cincinnati, for the
day before he was sold to the Braves
by the Cincinnati club.
The conditions of the transaction
were that Moran was to, finish the
series with Cincinnati against New
York and join the Braves in Chicago
this afternoon. Therefore. Moran is
entitled to much credit for putting
his new teammates at the top with
the Giants.
Leon Ames, the victorious Red
pitcher. celebrated his third straight
victory over his former pals.
Boston and New York are not the
only pennant contenders. ST. Louis
and Chicago are also in the thick of
the fight The Cardinals are only
one game behind the tied leaders,
while the Cubs are only three games
below them.
This rare race in President Tener's
league has stirred up great interest,
and the contenders are playing to
enormous crowds. Instead OF an off
year in baseball, the National League
perity.
George Stallings has made baseball
history by his remarkable feat in
bringing the Braves from the bottom
of the list to the top.
Only July IS, only a little more
than a month ago, the Bostons were in
last place. They had already begun
their sensational squirt, however, and
the close of the following week found
them in fourth place.
Their rise during late july and
August was rapid. Ten days ago
they gave the Giants a stunning blow
by beating them three straight on the
champions home grounds. McGraw's
men have been slipping steadily ever
since, while Boston has been tearing
along over the western course in
championship form.
The week just ended capped the
climax of Giant retrogression, the
leaders dropping two out of three
games in Pittsburgh and then two
to the Reds, following this up by TAX
ing a beating from Herzogs men in
the third game of the series today.
Boston, instead of -going TO pieces.
as other challenging teams have done
in sequels to the seasons earlier
bursts of speed by pennant contend
ers, kept on playing high-class ball
during the week and lost only two
games in seven, one an extra-inning
struggle with the Pirates.
If the Giants, with their pitching
corps demoralized. and in the midst
of a batting slump. do not take q
brace soon. they bid fair TO be passed
not only by the Bostons. hut by either
St Louis or Chicago-p perhaps by
10th.
Newark evening star and Newark advertiser. [volume] (Newark, N.J.) 1909-1916, 1914-08-24

A detailed record of the entire inter-
city series played by all National
League clubs shows that Pittsburgh
and Chicago have been easiest for
the Boston Braves so far. 1t also
shows that Stallings's club has won
ten games from their rivals, the St.
Louis Cards. while Cincinnati has
been beaten the same number Of times
by Georges men. The Giants have
found the Cincinnati and Pittsburgh
teams easiest. with ten victories over
each club On the whole. the Giants
have been more consistent against
their seven rivals. st. Louis is the
only team to have the best of the
Giants. The Cards have takeu nine
out of sixteen games from New York.
Brooklyn has bested Boston eleven
times in fifteen tries. Philadelphia
has taken eight out of twelve from
the Hubbites, and New York eight
ont of fourteen. The record.

The Detroit Tigers slipped over
to Baltimore to play Jack Dunn's
Orioles yesterday afternoon and won
by the score of to 1. Ty Cobb
was the whole show, the Detroit
slugger making three hits, sim
gle. a double and triple. Cobb
drove in six of the Tigers runs. He
tripled in the fourth with three on.
Cobb tickled the 1000 fans that saw
the game by pitching the last inning,
retiring the side in order.
Hoff, of the Hustlers, deserves a
standing vote of thanks for prevent
ing the Grays from making an alto
gether runaway and joke of the
Barrow league race.
Schultz. who pitched against Hoff,
had three hits. He was about the
only home batter who could do much
with Hoff.

FISHER GETS HIT
FOR TIM JORDAN
Heady Play Also Earns a Triple
for O'Hara and Run for
Leafs.

Bob Fisher is credited with only
two hits in the official box score of
yesterdays game between the New
ark and Toronto teams. He de-
served those two. for they were both
clean wallops. but he got a hit for
Jordan that Tim would never have
had otherwise In the seventh
inning Fisher was on first base when
Jordan came up and hit one between
second and first. 1t was sure double
play, as Jordan Is a sf0w runner, but
Fisher ran into the ball. Bob, of
course, was retired automatically, for
being hit by a "batted ball." but he
should have been out anyhow, and
Jordan, instead of getting a hit
would have been doubled up. Jordan
reached first in safety and was cred
tied with base hit. as the rule calls
for. O'Iara then tripled, scoring
Jordan. But for Fishers headwork
the Toronto team would not have had
that run, for O'Hara would not have
come to bat at all.
Tim Jordan galloped around the
bases three times because O'Hara
was In hitting mood and kept chas-
ing the big fellow around.
Fishers all-around work was big
factor in Toronto's success here.
Eddie Zimmerman made a side
ways dive and catch of a liner from
Fits bat In the eighth that was a
gem.
Herbert got credit for two victories

days.
