Mr.. Patterson discussed state rights
TIE duty or go g5s1amsnt, he said. was
to surround the citizen with good en-
vironment, to dig no pitfalls in his
path. to make it easy as possible for
the citizen to do right, as hard as
possible to do wrong. ...a g..
This is the highest attribute of
sovereignty. The efforts of our gov
ernment to suppress the lottery; to
stamp out polygamy; to destroy human
slavery; to prevent the use of narcot-
les; preserve the public health; to give
the people pure food, were all in har-
mony with the purpose OF its crea-
ton, and to maintain the liquor traffic
is proposition Of its power.
1T is not surprising that the LIQUOR
traffic would seize upon states rights
for safety, In the past when a. town
or county proposed to outlaw the
saloon, this cunning malefactor
sought to stay the local sentiment by
telling the people that it would favor
state prohibition, when it knew that
state action was remote or impos-
sible.
when the sentiment for state pro-
hibition grew until it threatened to
overwhelm the traffic it then sought
delay until the government should
act-and now when the tide has
rushed on until it has reached the
walls Of the capitol-the traffic would
sweep it back with the broom of
states rights.

parently less steady in the handling of difficult chances
 Comparing the records of the rival shortstops it is seen that Bancroft, the Philadelphia player, has a much better average with the bat but falls below Scott, the Boston player, in fielding. Bancroft has played in al- most all the games of the season and his averages are: batting, 245; field ing, 921. Scott in less than one hundred games has batted 194 and fielded .96S. In base stealing and sacrifice hitting Bancroft's record shows to advantage over Scott's. while the latter is considered to be steadier fielder.
 It is perfectly apparent from a study of the seasons averages that both Manager Moran and Manager Carrigan have considered their ar rangement of the infields from other angles than mere batting and fielding records alone for harmonious team work and skillful fielding combina- tions cannot always be expressed or proved oy ngures. The complete records of the infielders of both clubs taken from the latest unofficial aver ages, are attached, however, for the purposes of comparisons:

SOX BEAT CUBS.
Eddie Collins Bats Timely and Com iskey's Men Beat Rogers Team.

Chicago. Oct. 7.-The White Sox came from behind in the seventh in- ming of the first city series game yes terday, knocked Vaughn out of the box and took the lead. After that the Sox were complete masters and won, 9 to 5.
 The Sox were trailing, to 3, when Eddie Collins tripled with two men on, tying the count Jackson's single sent Collins home with the winning run. In the eighth inning Humphries blew up and successive triples by Scott, Russell and Weaver and E Collins's double gave the Sox three more runs. F. Collins was easily the star, getting two triples, a double and single in five times at bat. The score:

 N.Y. GanAand Rice

Alexander, plus a trifle the better of the breaks, may be enough to put the Phillies safely through. But on complete form Boston has the edge although the series is almost sure to go six games before the issue is de- Cided-and possibly to the full seven games span.
 This meeting should be the toughest battle for supremacy the October fes- tival has known since 1912, when Giants and Red Sox put in eight wild and woolly scrimmages before the ul- timate answer was returned.

BOUT IS POSTPONED.

Dundee and Ritchie Must Wait Until New Fight Commission is Appointed.
 New York, Oct. Due to the fact that State Athletic Commission re- ferred the application of the Show Corporation for new license to the commissioners to be appointed by the governor, and new commissioners have not been appointed, the Mad:- son Square Garden mana cement, after being advised by the present com mission to conduct no more shows until a new license has been grant ed, decided to call off the bout be = tween Willie Ritchie and Johnny Dundee scheduled for tonight.
 This course was deemed better by the management than taking chances on the new commissioners being ap- pointed today.

The AIexandIian Job,

Few fanatics appreciate the terrific assignment that has been put up to the Philly star
 It isn't so much a matter of pitch ing three games. That has been done before on many occasions. But it is g matter of having the entire universe that doesn't happen to be engaged in trench warfare arise and say: Its up to Alexander to go out and win this series alone"
 No one man has ever had so much responsibility tossed his way. Press and public together have been talking nothing but Alexander for many weeks. No mention of the series has been made without Alexander absorb ing the bulk of conversation. This series has been put up to Alexander far more than the 1905 series was put up to Mathewson-for Matty had Iron Man McGinnity waiting for a chance to help. And in 1905 New York, on paper as we'll as on the field, had club that compared favorably in every way with the Mackmen. For the Giants then had such stars around as Donlon, Devlin, Bresnahan, Gilbert Dahle, Mertes and others around their prime.
 Different Case
 But most of those today who be- lieve the Phillies will win admit the general superiority of the Red So2; machine.
 They are backing the Phillies through Alexander alone. They are looking to him to win three games and turn the trick.
 Ordinarily this would be enough to put an eternal jinx on any pitcher. The great work expected from Wag- ner in 1903 against Boston put the Big Dutchman up in the air and crimped his effectiveness. The super star stuff expected from Cobb in 1907 and 1908 had the same effect upon the Georgia Ghost
 When a contender knows that every enc is expecting him to do wonder work, when any one man is touted as the big star of the show, he is put under heavy handicap.
 Alexander knows that if he fails the chances for his side of the argu- ment are over He knows that if he loses one out of his first three starts the odds belong Boston's way.
 If, under these conditions he can still work at normal speed he will be dH ever SI edISI WO1u6T lIldu He 1ldS already shown himself to be.
 Who Will Win?
 The dope, piled up in one con- glomerate mass, favors Boston to win in a series that will go to six or seven games.
 But the dope doesn't give Boston any easy canter. It gives the Phillies 8 good, healthy chance-a much better advance chance than the Braves had last fall.

The World Series Roundup.
No. 1. The Autopsy.

Grappling with the worlds series dope is one of the most thankless as signments ever forced upon a non combatant.
 If you pick the winner, you've merely made a lucky guess. If you pick the wrong club, you're four parts boob and six parts bOnehead.
 If you pick neither club, you're a staller. The best you can get is a shade tho worst of it-no matter what happens
 In the Summing Up.
 Pat Moran has no idea as to which club will win-and neither has Bill Carrigan Neither has Iris Speaker nor Grover Alexander.
 But it is at least possible to present the dope just as it stands, and from this dope advance an opinion as to what should be. Which brings us up to the evidence-viz:
 l. Back of the bat there is not enough advantage either way to work up a debate.
 9 In pitching the Phillies haT2 one great star-and the Red SoX have the better balanced staff.
 3. The two infields arc fairly we'll matched.
 4. The Red sox have the better cutfield by a number of degrees.
 5. The Red Sox have, on an aver oge, much the harder batting array.
 The Better Club.
 The figures, plus observation, show the Red Sox to be the better club the best club in baseball.
 Over the 154-game route there could be only one answer. Over the short worlds series route there can be two answers without any upset be- ing attached to the dope.
 For always, to throw against the Red Sox margin in other ways, there is Colonel G. c. Alexander, of St. Paul, Neb., and Philadelphia, Penn.
 The One Man Barricade.
 Horatius held the bridge against an army There have been historical Oc- casion where one lone bloke has raised the dickens against overwhelm- ing odds.
 In this respect Alexander might we'll chant with Horatius-to this effect
 Then up spake Alexander,
 A pitching bird was he 10, who will stand at my right hand
 And cop the kale with me? Lo, who will stand at my right hand Against the final test, To gather in a single game,
 While I grab off the rest?'
