LEAGUE LEADERS
FIGHT FOR POINTS
Detroit Fails in Crucial
Series to Cut Boston
Lead.

NEW YORK, Sept. 1S.-The efforts
of clubs with ]pennaut ambitions TO
cut down the handicap held 10y the
leaders i'm both major leagues We're Of
no avail today with the single eNcep-
ton Of the Boston Nationals, who
gained half Il game by winning a
double header.
In what was probably the most sem
satiouul and bitterly fought contest OF
the season, the Boston Americans in
creased their margin Of leadership to
three and oue-half games over tho
Detroit Tigers by winning from the
Tigers in "a l2-inning 1-run game.
The Red SOX now have taken two
out of three games OF the series from
Detroit. with the concluding game TO
be played Monday. Thus Jennings
hopes to narrow the margin separat-
ing his smuggling Tigers from first
place no longer can be entertained. for
even should the Tigers win Mondays
game they would leave Boston exactly
the same distance ahead as they were
when the series was begun-twO and
one-half games.
The strength Of the Red SoX in the
box and in the outfield proved insur-
mOuntable barriers to the onslaughts
of the Tigers renowned batters with
whom their fiery leader hoped to bat
tie his way to the pennant for which
ia has been striving since 1907

Roosevelt's Lawyer
Opens Argument in
Barnes Libel Suit

SYRACUSE. N. T.. May ls.--John NJ.
Bowers. chief counsel for Theodore
Roosevelt. today summed up in the SUI
prene court here the case Of the defense
In William Barnes suit for libel. He as
sailed the truth of many OF the state
ments made upon the witness stand by
the plaintiff and presented arguments to
the jury designed to show that his client
was justified in saying the things he did
about the former chairman Of the repub-
lican state committee.
The lawyer contended that the suit was
not brought with thu purpose to secure
pecuniary damages, but in reality was a
game to lower the defendant before the
peopel OF the United States"
Counsel for Mr.. Barnes were to sum
up the case of the plaintiff this after
noon.
Justice Andrews. presiding, ruled that
the jury would not be allowed TO consider
the anegatioDs that the article upon
which the suit IL based was privileged
because the plaintiff was IN public life
and a political campaign was In progress
at the time OF its publication.
