RACE IN NATIONAL
 LEAGUE NOT ~F|xED"
Braves and Ciaats Crim;y Fighting
 for Flag.

The wonderful race now going on any race fought in the thirty-nine years of the parent major league should prove a blessing during a lean baseball year.
 With four clubs in the fight for the pennant and only about ten games separating the leader from the trail CT enough interest has been felt in the different cities to get the fans to turn out again in droves.
 There has been some gossip among persons calling themselves fans to the effect that everything is not exactly on the level in the National league race this season, and that the race has been doctored up to prevent all the teams from losing money, which would have been the case if the Giants had made 8 runaway race of it, with the closest rival seventeen miles away.
 These same fans" cannot under stand why the American league did not get in the swim, except that they figured three races with a. hundred points separating the first and last teams would make it look too raw.
 However, every person who is fan knows how impossible it would be to 'f1x'' any race. Why would they "fix ?''
 It was only necessary to look at the faces of the Boston and Giant players during their last series on the Polo Grounds to know that the battles were decided strictly on their merits. The happy, enthusiastic Boston faces, smiling and hand-shaking, spoke story by themselves of the wonderful climb the Braves had made from the very bottom of the pit
 Matched to these happy counten- ances were the grim, sullen, defiant faces of the Giants. There were no Giant smiles, no jokes cracked on the bench and no rough-house play. The Giants fought back hard, but they saw themselves yielding, yielding and yielding, and with each yield that nice little pot of worlds series coin was moving farther away from them And ball players are not permitting any one to fix any worlds series pots away from them.
 McGraw did not look as though he had been fixed when he was last seen on the Polo Grounds. If the Giants lose this pennant it will be a hard blow to the Gotham leader and will wreck his honorable ambition to be the first manager in the National league to win four pennants. Ordi- narily McGraw is no bad loser and he took his three worlds series defeats in a calm, sportsmanlike manner, but he is losing hard this season, and the defeats of his team are cutting him 6eeD

McAdoo Appeals to Cotton and To-

Washington, Aug. 26.-Secretary McAdoo emphatically disapproved proposals for valorization of crops be- cause of the European war at yester- days conference of cotton ad tobacco growers. He appealed to the con- ference "to get down. to prac- ticaI basis
 Any issue of currency by state banks IS utterly unnecessary" said Secretary McAdoo. and it is a waste of time to talk about it. Enough na- tional bank currency is authorized by present law to handle the cotton and all the other crops in the country There is authorization in law for enough currency to wreck the whole country. The secretary of the treos ury has wide discretion in the issne of this currency. I intend to see that all currency issued is safe because I tell yCu, gentlemen, that you cannot do anything worse than to inf1ate the cur rency to a point where you will wreck the credit of the country"

PANIC IN FACTORY.
Cry of "Fire' Causes Girls in Hartford
 Plant to Rush Mad1y for Street.

Hartford. Aug. 26.-Throw into a panic by the cry of ''f1re,'' 175 girls employed in the shirtwaist factory on Morgan street rushed madly down three flights of stairs yesterday after noon, and the police consider it mira culous that none was killed or fatally injured. Several were thrown down and trampled upon, being cut and bruised, but there were no serious hurts. The narrow stairways were for a few minutes fairly choked with screaming women The building is equipped with fire escapes, but in the panic not girl attempted to escape by one.
 Smoke rising through cracks in the floor caused the cry of fire and pre- cipitated the panic. It was due to a burning motor and the blaze was ex- tinguished in d moment.

SAM MCLEAN IS THROUGH.
II Love Them Cigars and Chickens 2
 Is His Song to Lee Foh1.

Sam Mclean will commute no longer. During his stay in Water bury Sam would pitch a game get into his glad rags and hurry off to his chicken and tobacco plantation at Glastonbury, spend the night and return to Waterbury in the morning and repeat the process. Sam likes pitching and he is not at all bad at it, but he likes his chickens more and so he asked Manager Lee Fohl for his papers. The papers were handed over and with smile Sam said good bye to his friends last night. It is not a question of likes and dislikes with Sam, it is question of plus and minus. By remaining on his Glas- tonbury plantation and watching the cigars and the eggs grow. he can make more money than by hang ing around a baseball diamond for the farm is more than ample.
 This year Sam pitched 19 games. winning of them and losing 12. Hits numbering 1S9 were garnered from his delivery for total of 94 runs He struck out 97 batters. passed 26 men. hit batters and nev CT made wild pitch.
 The old stove league in Glaston- bury will now hold summer sessions for the first time in years.

Hits Came When Needed.

New York, Aug. 26.-Don't imagine that because the Yankees won from the White Sox up on Coogan's Flats yesterday by score of 9 to that the game was forfeited. Not much. The Yankees made all those runs on the level. They hit the ball when runners were cavorting on the base paths. and at last realized the advan- tage of peeling off their hits in punches.
 Leonard Cole, strange as it may seem. pitched a whole game without calling out the life-saving brigade Cole used to be called King in Chi cago many moons ago, but he has been handed several other nicknames since then Other pitchers, who did not do as we'll as Cole, were Joe Benz, who lasted almost a few minutes, and Rie Ed Walsh, who consumed few ;rninps to show that, although he might be on his way to become a.

 ? From end to end the game was battle of pitchers. with Jim Vaughn pitted against the Boston star. James clearly shaded, the enemy, as he kept the Cubs swats we'll separated and showed excellent control, while Vaughn not only proved ineffective in heaves to the bases.
 The turning point in the battle came in the fifth round. The Cubs had scored once in the third. and, l inspired by this tally, the Braves l broke loose in the fourth and evened matters. The fifth was made big l inning through work of Whitted, who pulled off a bit of heady base run ming which perhaps entities him to 1 honorary mention along with the suc- cess of James.

Having Leach out guessed in such fashion probably dis concerted Vaughn. as two runners crossed the pan only a few minutes later. The pair of tallies proved more than enough, but for safetys sake another was picked up in the ninth.
 The Braves played steadily behind i James. and it was this that made the big right handler doubly effective Ma ranville's lightning work around short.
