Remarkable Race in Nation al League Continues With Five Clubs in Fight

| New York, August S.-The close of an-

The Quaker City club lost twice to the Cubs and three | times to the Pirates even Alexander being unable to hold down either of these teams | One game, narrowly won in seven playing days. was Philadelphias s lone victory over Pittsburg. Meanwhile Chicago and New
 York, in fifth and sixth positions. respec- lively, one week ago, have been closing in toward the top, the Cubs enjoying a clean-sweep week of i've games and the Giants losing only two out of eight. These two teams were the only ones that ob- tained better than an even break

 A RemdTkdDle week
 For these five teams 1t probably has been one of the most remarkable weeks in the leagues history. As an illustration
 Boston has ranked as high as a tie for
 second place. after Wednesdays game

 | Philadelphia has slowed to the .50(
 pace, and its once rosy pennant pros poets are seriously threatened. St Louis
 fans have not discarded championship
 hope. Cincinnati began the new week
 with further loss of ground.
 In the American league Washington
 showed excellent form. The Senators took
 six games and the team is beginning to
 be discussed as at least a remote pennant
 possibility Ten games behind third place
 last Sunday, Washington within one week has reduced this gap to six and one-half i games. Twenty-one victories out of the
 last 31 games played is Washington's rec | ord-a pace slightly better than either Boston or Detroit. The Senators gained 1 little on the Red Sox and the Tigers, how
 ever. Detroit, winning five out of seven, passed into second place and attained
 within game and half of Boston. Indians Drop Back
 l New York; which won three out of four, was the only second division American league club to do better than break even. Fos AS hours Cleveland stood in sixth
 place, but dropped back to seventh by los-

 making five victories in 26 attempts. | With five teams virtually on even terms

 The end of the week found Nashville threatening to take third place from Birmingham, while Little Rock, which has been trailing practically all sea son, seemed to have a chance to get out of last place.

 The Nashville story sounds plausible to New Orleans friends of MT. Frank
 MT. Frank has had several chances to manage clubs but the offers have not been up to his salary ideas,' said one of his friends Saturday. As his contract with the Cleveland club runs out this fall it is very probable that he will accept another position before the year is out. and it may be that he and the Nashville people have come to terms.'
 Frank was manager of the Pelcans from 1901 to 1915, and has the best record of any manager who has ever piloted a club in the Southern association.

CTS needed plenty of hitting by their team mates apparently is borne out by the games last week. Unofficial fig ures show that to win four out of seven games, the leaders made "A hits for total of 37 runs, while their op- ponents were getting SO hits and 31 runs. Memphis. in winning five of it's last seven games made 10 hits less than its opponents. The figures are: Memphis, S9 runs; 60 hits. Opponents, 34 runs, TO hits.
 Results of the week as far az teams lower down the scale are concerned were almost negligible. Atlanta lost four and won three on it's trip. Nash vile and Chattanooga, playing at home won a majority of their games, the former four out of seven and the lat ter four out of six. Mobile, on the road won only two of its five games.

Happy Easter Time.

Once again the joyous Easter oc-
casion finds us alive and blessed with
health and strength. We should be
thankful Time is here for all vege-
table life to begin to be refreshed, af-
ter the cold of the winter season. We
should learn the lesson taught, and
begin again to practice the good
resolutions of the new year we may
have broken.
How did Easter originate? For a
moment let us think about the rea-
son for keeping Easter Nearly
1000 years ago Jesus was a man in
the world. He died on the cross to
free us from sin, and in three days
arose from the dead and went back
to His Father in heaven. AS follow
ers of Jesus we keep Easter Day as a
remembrance of the occasion of His
resurrection from the dead Easter
then signified a new life, or is the
time for vegetable life to begin-the
time for us to remember the Saviour
who was resurrected from the dead
and to try to renew our faith in Him
nd shape our lives by His example.
Again, Easter time is even the sea-
son for US to change our mode of
dress. 1t Is the balancing point be-
tween cold and warm weather.

Easter Souvenir.

Souvenirs for the dinner on Easter
week may be tiny rabbits or Easter
eggs filled with salted nuts or with
small candies.
An orchid in natural tints Is used
as an ice case, while various arrange
ments of the Easter flowers are turn
ed to similar service.
Clusters of violets and jonquils on
tall stems are among the blossoms
utilized for the same purpose.
While floral ideas are best liked
for the table decoration, some more
grotesQue features are also en-
ployed.
A charming salted almond or bon
bon box is In the form a tiny head Of
lettuce from which peeps out a
brown rabbit. Blown egg shells are
mounted on small boxes and gro-
tesQue faces are painted upon the
shells. which are then fitted with ap-
propriate headgear. An Easter greet
ing Is pasted on the covers of these
cases. The old fahhioned Easter egg
of plaster OF paris and sugar, with
the glass eye, through which one
discovers scrap book pictures Of rab
bits and children, Is still shown.
The newer Easter eggs have not en-
tirely usurped in popularity. These
eggs are pretty table favors, as are
also small jardinieres containing
growing ferns or plants.
