THE LAST WEEK
 OF THE MAJORS. Close Races in Both leagues-Braves' Spurt Most Thrilling in Baseball History.

New York, Oct. Hast shots will be fired this week in the major league battles of 1914. The decisive engage ments have been fought and the pres ent activity is confined to rear guard actions. Even these are on a dimin- ishing scale and in midweek truce will be called until Friday, when the Philadelphia American league victors and the. Boston conquerors in the Ma tional league will begin their meeting in single combat to dec1de the nnal supremacy of the year.
 Speculation over the probable out come Of the worlds championship se- ries now that the teams have been definitely picked and all arrange ments for the big event made, has all most entirely superseded discussion of the regular league campaigns. In the mind of the average baseball fan such problems as whether Plank will be able to outpitch Tyler; how Bender an1 Rudolph cOmrare, and if James will prove superior in ability to Shawkey. or some of the other comparatively new recruits that Connie Mack may but i fstr transcend in interest the placing ,ui the IA big league teams which firtT~i c! behind the leaders.
 Neve-tho 0sg, in several cities direct iy interested the cleaning up of the years schedules claims certain amount of attention. In New York, for instance, the Giants. beaten by the
 
 most thrilling races in baseball history, are possible candidates for a still low CT berth. St. Louis has been pushing them hard, but only managed to get an even break with Chicago today leaving McGraw's men a game and 8 half advantage, which they may be able to hold.
 Chicago and Brooklyn also are close together, but the last named club now has only the Slimmest of opportunities of finishing in the first division. Brook. lyn, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia and Gin. cinnati are likely to be the order o the second division clubs.
 In the American league, Detroit ant Washington are so close together tha it will take the Washington games O this week to decide the occupant o third place. The Detroits, who ended their season today, virtually tied witt the Nationals. seem to have the bette chance to take the berth, as Washing ton must win two out of three iron Boston to forge ahead. St. Louis am New York are both flirting with fit place. with the possibility that eithe one may capture it.
 Aside from these minor contests, tn regular play of the year is as good a over. With their decision, the playin of the worlds series and of such cit series as have been arranged, tn baseball season of 1914 will pass int history.

Simcox pitched a strong game at all times and covered himself with glory by holding the hard hitting visitors to eight hits and sending eight of them back by the strikeout route. The whole Sachemteam played a corking game ana deserves great credit for the arti- Gle of ball they are putting up. The Emeralds played their usual strong game. but they were up against a bet ter team. Wheeler was the man in the pinch. With three men on, he came across with a slashing single that put across the first two runs He also pulled off star fielding stunts by some hard hit balls.
 The Sachem management assures the fans another fast game next Sun day-if not with the Emeralds they will get another strong team to come here.

THRILLING VIEWS OF
 THE EUROPEAN WAR
NEWSPAPERS DELIGHTED WITH FEATURE, WHICH PLEASES
 ALL READERS EACH DAY.

Although definite news of great
 engagements between opposing ar
 mics in the present European war
 may be late in coming n, there is
 one feature that is attracting atten-
 ton and whining commendation, and
 that lis the many excellent views of
 the men of the various armies, the
 crowned heads of Europe now en-
 gagged in the conflict and scenes of
 mobilization of various troops. The
 war service in this respect far eclipses the pictures taken during the Spanish-American war, and there is reason for it. The reason lies in the camera more than ia the men handling it, which is demonstrated by the pictures, for when one uses the Ansco camera good picture is as certain as day is to follow night. It isl the Ansco camera that is taking majority of the pictures of Eu- ropean war for the Anseo represents | ninety per cent of all the cameras I now used and governments have tdheH up the AnScO camera as
 eagerly as they have been desirous of massing their troops. In this re- spect it is well to remember that the R. G. Morris Drug Company of this
 city is the agent for the Ansco | camera and the famous Cyeo paper. This camera has given great satisfac- tion whenever and wherever used There is also a model deve oping | annex to this store, and since taking the agency in this city the Ansco

PONTlFF'S PHYSICIAN STATES HIS CONDITION IS NOT so SEE.
 RioUs AS ANTICIPATED.

Rome, via Paris, Aug 1S.-6:1O D. m.-Pope Plus X is not in so serious a condition as has beena reported, c. corning to Dr. Marchiafava, the at tending physician. The pontiffs sisters and nieces have been allowed to nurse him as in the case of previ- ous illness, as that relieves him and abstracts his attention from the grav- ity of the European situatilo.
 Dr. Marchiafava said today:
 There is nothing alarming in the condition of the pope. His indispo- sition would pass unnoticed except for the high office which ne holds and his extreme age His present in disposition is much less grave than past illnesses.
 The pope is suffering from a sim pie cold, which il his case invariably produces hoarseness, accompanied by a slight bronchial trouble. The cough associated with this condition and the rise in temperature have caused some weakness. If no complications occur and there is no reason to fear this, weeks rest will he sufficient to re- store the pontlff to health"
 The pope had rather a restess night, owing to the cough and diff culty iI breathing, which awakened him frequently. Today his tempera- ture was normal and he was able to sit for a time in an arm chair near window. He expressed a desire to resume his audiences Friday but it is not likely the doctors will sane tion this plan.
