Higgins tenure at the bat must have lasted for 10 minutes, while Grimes con suited first with Catcher Wallace, then with Ellam, then with Coyle, and the Barons found things to complain about. They objected to Roy Walkers antics on the coaching line. and every kick meant delay. Higgins was waiting Grimes out and every effort was being made by the Peicans to rattle the young twirler into forcing in run. The crowd howled and hooted it's displeasure at the slow pro- gress of the game, but Grimes wouldn't worry When he finally got Higgins in a hole and held him to pop-up to Wal lace and famed Smith, the crowd realized that the locals had been outgeneraled and Crimes was applauded only short time after being hissed.
 BarOns Lose Lead
 But the Barons were not to retain thelr one-run lead, which they took in the sec ond on a scratch hit by Clark, a single by Coyle and an infield out. Tim Hen drix hadn't yet got in his wallop when the fifth inning rolled around. But he got it in then. It was three-base drive to center. Reilly scored him in an in- stant with a scratch by Coyle. The game was won after two were down in the seventh. Edmondson walked and stole second. Sylvester was sent in to bat for Pezold and Grimes passed him four wide ones as bit of strategy It turned out to be fatality. Knaupp connected with one that would have been a double had not Edmondson been over the plate with the winning run ere Cotton had rounded first
 When Johnson's support collapsed in the second game he went with it. In the fourth. after he walked Reilly, Edmond son hit one down to Ellam. who begged wild to second, Reilly going to third and Edmondson to second. A pass to Sylves- ter choked the circuit. Knaupp sent a hopper down to Lindsay and Bill let 1t get away, two runs counting. Bluhm drove in two more with clean drive.
 In the fifth single by Hendrix. an- other by Reilly, Edmondson's triple a sac- rifice and infield out gave the Pels three more.
 Weaver was invincibfe until the sixth. when he let down a trifle. Hits by Hoan, Lindsay and Coombs and a walk gave the Barons three runs.

 New Orleans, September 12.-(spe- cial.)-New Orleans fans, about 1000 strong, snluted their champions this afternoon and their champions in re- trounciug the club that has been the hideous dragon of all their night mares.
 The Barons are eliminated finally and definitely from all championship calculations. Carlton Molesworth, who has been unobstrusive1y nursing the hope that his team would get back into the race with a chance for a garri son finish by trouncing the Pelicans in this two-day series of double headers, abandoned all hope after losing the first game. Not once did he move from his adopted position on the bench aft CT losing the first game.
 His hope and that of his team had evidently been buoyed over night by -tne Barons' success on Saturday and they put more fight and spirit in the nrsf game than has been witnessed in any of the Barons' games here this

 Such an occasion could not be with out it's hero and Cotton" Knaupp es- nayed patrol It was knaupp's safe drive which won the first game by a z-1 score and during the entire In termission between games Knaupp and the bat boys collected dollars, dimes and quarters from appreciative fans. The large crowd labored under intense excitement for five innings of the first game. which were played In a continual sprinkle, but raindrops could not hurry the players, who were under even more O. strain than the fans.
 It was the dying struggle of the Barons for the championship, and never did they try harder to win a game. Never was a pitcher more carefully watched, nursed and encouraged than Grimes. He pulled out of a hole in the first inning by the akin of his teeth. weathered the second and third in good shape, and in the fourth came out only slightly disfigured after some of the most thrilling moments that have kept baseball audience on edge here this season. This inning was start cd with out by Edmondson. but PezoSd singled, Knaupp walked and Bluhm was aafc on a short single.

Should Aid Wilson In Preventing
War.

William J. Bryan, former secretary
of state, Sunday night, gave out the
following signed statement:
II have read the editorial opinions
concerning the sinking of the Arabic,
as those opinions were reproduced in
Saturday mornings papers, but they
seem to me to avoid the most import
ont question. The real question is
not whether American citizens have,
under international law, right to
travel through the danger zone on the
ships of beligerent nations. That is
admitted. The question just now is
whether an American citizen should
put his convenience or even his rights
above his nations welfare.
"If American citizens refuse to con-
slider their own safety or the safety OF
the nation, then a second question
arises, namely, whether the govern
ment should permit a few persons to
drag the country into this unparal-
leled war. Our government has made
its protest and there is no doubt that
the position taken is abundantly sup
ported by precedent, but that does
not necessarily mean that we are
going to war.
diplomacy has not yet concluded
it's work and even if diplomatic efforts
fail we have recourse to the treaty
plan which must be resorted to in
case of disputes with Great Britain,
France, Italy and Russia, and should
be resorted to before going to war
with any other belligerent nation.
eff the treaty plan fails, we still
have choice between entering this
war and the postponement of final
settlement until peace is restored. In
the meantime it will be well to think
of the thousands, or possibly the
hundreds of thousands who would be
sacrificed if we enter this war. These
brave men are certainly entitled to
consideration as well as the few who
by deliberately mourning unnecessary
risks, bring harm upon themselves
and danger to their country.
at is time for the unneutral por-
ton of the press of the U. S. to lay
aside its bias and unite in helping the
president to keep the country out
of war.
"The prO-ally papers are insisting
upon war with Germany for the bene-
fit of the allies, and the pro-German
papers are insisting upon an embargo
on arms and ammunition for the
benefit of Germany. If these two
groups of papers would join together
and urge measures to restrain Amer
lean citizens from going into the
danger zone on belligerent ships and
prohibiting American passenger ships
from carrying arms and ammuni-
tion-if they would do this they would
aid in preventing war and in reserv-
ing for our nation the priceless oppor-
tunity to act as peacemaker when the
time for peace arrived"
Wausau pilot. [volume] (Wausau, Wis.) 1896-1940, 1915-08-31
Col. JOHN HICKS. of the Oshkosh

Col. JOHN HICKS, of the Oshkosh
Northv estern, seemingly, is not alto
gether an admirer of Gov. Philip
he says, editorially:
Gov. Phillip was elected because
of division among the Progressive
Republicans. Two-thirds of the Re-
publican party were bitterly opposed
to Mr.. Phillip but because they
scattered their votes among five can
didates, Mr.. Philip obtained the
party nomination and consequently
the election.
"But Mr.. Philip is just as much
the representative of the Reactionary
element today as he ever was. Yelled
beneath proposed reduction in tax
alton he has stood valiantly for cor
poration influence and the interests
that ne has been identified with for
more than thirty years have always
found in him a friend.
sit is true that the Progressives
have acted foolishly in many things
and played into the governors hands
from mistaken motives, yet every
honest Republican should understand
the situation today. The Philip fol-
lowing in Wisconsin is simply a re-
crudescence of the Taft policy which
was so completely stamped into the
mud by the voters of 1912"

A Failure.

ACCORDING to a recent dispatch
from Washington. the people of the
west who have had a hundred mil
lions of dollars spent-largely squan-
dered--On their irrigation projects
are not yet satisfied. The govern
ment started out to build dams and
bitches to bring water to the border
of the farms on ten years time with
out interest. 1t was found that con-
ditiOns were such that the settlers
could not make the payments and
the time was changed to 20 years
without interest.
Later it was found that settlers
would not come unless the govern
ment went still farther and made the
bitches through the farms. Still
later it was found that much of the
irrigated lands had to be tile-drained
and that even on the 20 year basis
payments had to be passed.
Now it is proposed that the settlers
as well as the projects must be capt.
talized-and what next? The fact is
that the government pro jects as a
whole are a failure. Is it not time
that the congressman of the middle
west, where there yet is a large
amount of good land next to markets,
discovered the fact that the govern
ment is pouring out its money where
it will do the least good?
There is more good vacant land in
Wisconsin than the government will
ever irrigate. If it is to be our
policy to prepare land for cultivation,
why not do it where the homeseekers
want to go and where they will be
successful-that is in Wisconsin.
What have Wisconsin. congressman
to say on this subject?
