.REOSOX PLAYER
 |S CONFIDENT
Says It Is a Case of a Well-Balanced Team Meeting Team of Two or
 Three Good Men.

BOSTON. Oct. Iris Speaker, center fielder of the Boston Redsox, and we'll known baseball critic, has issued statement in which he de- clares that the Boston team will win threc straight games in the series. He says: ~ Most ballplayers when they claim that their team is going to win are charged with having swelled heads, and if they do not say they are going to wir they are charged with not hav- ing any confidence in their own team. I know the Boston Redsox, know what they have done and have fig ured it out that the present series is between a we'll balanced baseball team against two or three man team. I do not see how Philadelphia can beat Boston. We will win the first three games"
 Local baseball fans are getting their annual excitement on over the big world series, and as usual are be- ginning to bet. The majority seem to favor the Boston Americans, al- though the Philadelphia Nationals have many admirers who pick them to win.
 A local fan says Iris Speakers as- sertion that the Phillies are two or three man team is contrary to the latest dope peddled by the baseball scribes. In the last batch of papers from the outside is an article analyz- ing both teams and laying down the proposition that the Phillies are the best balanced team in either league.
 It is conceded that the pitchers are the strongest factors in short series. The Phillies depend on Alexander, considered the king-pin of all pitch CTS this year, and Mayer and Rixey. The strongest Boston pitchers are Shore, Foster and Leonard. Joe Wood has never come back since his illness which kept him out nearly all last year, and he has not worked much this year. It is expected that Alexander and Shore will work in the first game.
 big Philly asset is Cravath, who has knocked out twenty home runs this year. a record only surpassed in the big league by Buck Freeman, with twenty-five and Frank Schulte with twenty-one.

Shall We Abolish Congress?

In an open letter to Secretary Red

sion to proposition which for some
time past has been, and at present is
being, considerably agitated by a num-
her of business men of this country.
1t Is for a permanent, expert. nom
partisan tariff commission" Some ad-
vocates are content to stop at this
point. Mr.. Perkins goes farther and
asserts that this should be "a COM
mission that will give US a tariff that
is not necessarily high nor low nor
political but one that is based on the
actual demonstrated needs of each and
every industry that is affected by the
tariff" If his language is correctly
interpreted, this means that to such a
commission should be delegated the
authority to legislate on the tariff.

What is the reason the United States

Because we have not spent money

spent more than most other countries.

lei in the civilized world. And vet some
