PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 13.-The
fact that the Phillies are leading
the National league rasA with the
month of August almost$ half gone
has caused endless arguments re-
garding Philly teams which In the
past have been considered pennant
contenders. says the Philadelphia
Ledger.
The Phillies have finished second
In the National league race three
times in their history. In 1887 they
were second to Detroit. and this was
the nearest a local team ever came
to winning the pennant. That
Philly team was unlike those OF
later years. which had habit OF
starting OF fast and finishing
poorly,
In July OF 1887 the Phillies had a
percentage OF .426 and were In sixth
place. A wonderful squirt was
started, and with Charley Ferguson
and Southpaw Dan Casey pitching
every other day for the rest OF the
season. the Phils came within three
games Of overhauling Detroit. On
Sept. IS OF that year the Phillies
were within a game OF first place.
but Casey lost l to game to De
-troit by making wild pitch, and
Ferguson lost the next day by max
Ing a wild throw in the ninth inning
This gave the Tigers three game
lead, which they held until the close
OF the season. The Phillies finished
with a percentage Of SOC. which is
the highest in the 33-year history OF
tho club.
The Phillies Of 1911 we're In first
place until July %, and this is the
latest any National league team
here has ever been In the lead. In
1919 the Phillies had wonderful
chance to win, but that team was
ousted from frst place on June 80.
when It lost a IL to ~ game to the
Giants. This was the series that
wrecked the Phillies' pennant
chances, and many local fans still
contend that this team would have
drifted in an easy winner had the
pitching stan been worked differ
emily In that series.
In 1911 the Phillies were admit
teddy the class of the league. and
almost surely would have won the
pennant had II not been for two &C.
cidents. John Titus broke his leg
In a game against st. Louis, in this
city. in the middle Of May, and
Manager Doom met with similar
accident In the following series
with the Cardinals. In st. Louis on
July Is. At the time Doom was
injured the Phillies were within one
game OF the Cubs. who were lead
ing. but they went to pieces with
out a catcher or leader and finally
finished in fourth place,
The Phiilies did not occupy first
place very long in 1911, but they ar
forded much excitement for the fans
while they were lighting with the
leaders. New York, Chicago and
the Phillies were tied for first place
on July when the afternoon games
started. Fred Luderus lifted the
ball over into Broad.st. twice on
Crandall, and as the Cubs lost to
the Cardinals, the Phils went into
drst place. Three days later the
Cubs regained the lead. which they
held until July Is. when Luderus
again hit two drives over the right
field fence, beating Babe Adams. 2
to J.. and again placing the Pills
In the lead. This lead was held un-

Commemorate Cooperation

Those folks of Carrollton Mo-, who believe in
license deserve honorable mention for splendid civic
spirit shown recent special election. This city
voted dry last month by majority of 1856, which
meant the loss of $4,000 revenue from saloon IL
The city had just made contract for
and one-half years with the Water, Light and
Transit Company contingent increase in the
tax levy of so cents the hundred dollars valuation,
made necessary replace the loss in license
The levy required two-thrds majority and
ried by vote of 5I8 to 1872 the vets voting with the
drys.
There is no danger of the no-license policy prov
ing failure bringing financial ruin upon town
whose citizens are of the calber of Carrollton's. 1t
won't be long until the city will begin to more than
save the amount of money lost in saloon revenue by
not having to the waste of public funds always
accompanying saloon rule.
The license advocates of Carroton had chance
get revenge and embarrass the city administration
but they did not take it They preferred to boost for
a bigger and better Carrolton.

For years the efforts of the people in the various

TEUT0NS ARE ON TRIAL

ACCUSED OF AIDING RAIDERS.
Government Alleges Real Purpose of
Defendants Was to Coal and

New York, Nov. 23.-The govern
ment fired its opening gun at those
accused of directing foreign propa-
ganda on American soil.
Four officials OF the Hamburg-Amer-
ican line went on trial before Judge
Howe in the criminal branch of the
federal district court. They are
charged with making oath to false
clearances and manifests. The gov
ernment alleges the real purpose of
the defendants was to coal and supply
German commerce raiders.
The defendants are DR.. Karl Buenz.
George Koetter, Adolph Hackmeister
and Joseph 0oppinghaus. Doctor
Buenz Is managing director of the
Hamburg-American fine and is one of
the most influential German residents
of America
The questioning of the prospective
jurymen revealed queer international
puzzles. Only two of the AZ men ex-
amined were Americans born of ma
tive parents. All the prejudices and
opinions born of the European war
were mirrored in the answers of the
talesmen.
Assistant United States Attorney
Roger B. Wood will make his opening
statement to the jury today. Captain
Boy-ed will be named as the man
really responsible for the alleged con-
spiracy. Despite the written conces-
sions Of the defense, Boy-ed's name
will figure prominently in the, trial.

a dying condition. A physician was
summoned, but the man was dead be-
