At the afternoon session Att ,rncy
George Il. White. representing High

with the idea Of showing that the city
could allow moro concessions to the
IanneXed territory that already has
modern improvements that it could
afford in the other nnimproved sec

of questioning as irrelevant.
Mr. White then inquired if there
were not special advantages 20 be
gained by auueXirg the developed Sec
tons Mr. lfGlling replied very en-
phatically that of course there would
be some good reason or advantage to
warrant annexation.
No burdens on CITY.
II developed at this point that High
land Park has a building code, under
which the residences there have been
constructed and the residents of this
suburb are unwilling that this code
should be nullifed by annexation, and
their homes exposed to the danger
from houses built under other building
rules The court held in this connec-

l series to the Boston Braves Satur- 1 day the New York Giants are now but l three and one half games in the lead. | 1t begins to look like one of the l closest pennant races ever witnessed In the American league the race is | not so interesting as the Athletics | have a very substantial lead over the | Red Sox, their nearest rivals. Christy Mathewson lost his third consecutive game Saturday This Is tho first time this year he has dropped three in a row.
 Hancock showed the form that made him famous several years ago when he held down the Bridgeport team Saturday.
 Toland is some pitcher. In four innings Saturday he was touched mp for nine runs, he made three wild pitches, passed five men, hit one man and struck out four.
 Yesterdays was a hard one to drop. The old jinx is still following the boys and seems to have special grudge against Woodward.
 Jake Pitler, the young Pittsburg in- fielder whom Detroit took from Jack son in the South Michigan League for a trial, has been sent back. Jennings got this player with the understand ing that he would be looked over and retained if satisfactory, but later it developed that Jackson wanted cash at once. Pitler looks like good Cfn hrrf ic hor 1ioh Sf11ff ta stand the gaff in the American League. Jennings figured that he wouldn't be able to come up to the standard with the stick.
 Shouldn't be surprised if part of !! the credit for the spurt of the Braves was due to Stallings having Evers as lieutenant and that Stallings him. | self would say so. StaIlings is an { able handler of men, and Evers has no superior as a general ir the thick , of game. And, by the way, the , Trojan is playing a fine second base i and apparently hasn't gone back a particle.
 Benny Kauff, king slugger of the | Federal League, has eighteen bats. Some players haven't that many hits.
 There will be no trip to Europe this year by big league ball teams. Recent developments over there in- dicate that the people wouldn't be as much interested as they might have been.
 Three runs have been scored off Connie Mack's pitchers in the last four games. About all there is for the Athletics to do now is to tune mp for the worlds series, but the clubs performances for the last months in dicate that it is considerably tuned already. The only thing the Mack men are uncertain about is whether they will have to go to New York, Boston, St. Louis or Chicago for the big series.
