GULLS MEET BARONS IN FINAL SERIES AT RICKWOOD FIELD
.b|G ENTRY LIST ID FIGHT FOR HONORS

New York. September 5.-One hundred and thirteen women golfers are listed to start tomorrow at the Onwentsia club for the national championship. The first pair will tee off in the qualifying round at 9:45 and other couples will start at intervals of five minutes.
 Among the better known golfers en- tered are Miss Alexia Sterling of At lanta, southern champion; Miss Elaine V. Rosenthal of Chicago, who recently won the women's western championship: Mrs H. D. Hammond of Indianapolis, who lost the western title this year; Mrs. Ronald Barlow of Philadelphia, who car rfed Miss Rosenthal to the last hole in the semi-finals at Nassau last year; Miss Grace Semple of St. Louis and Mrs. Charles H. Vanderbeck of Philadelphia, also semi-finalist at Nassau last year
 Mrs. H. Arnold Jackson of Boston will not defend her title.
 An international savor is lent the tour nament by the entry of Mrs. w. A. Givin of Shirley Park, England. and Miss Vera Ramsey, also an English woman, entered from a Canadian club.
 Probably the leading favorite among the western players who comprise nearly three-fourths of the entrants, is Miss Rosenthal. She is only 19 years old. Last year in the national she won all her matches handily until she was put out in the finals by one hole.

 BY POOR PLAYING

New Orleans, September 5.-New Or leans won two seven-inning games to- day from Mobile, the first by score of 6 to and the second 22 to 4. In the first game Smith held the Gulls safe until two were out in the sixth inning. Two runners then were safe on errors and a single. a double and Perry's home run scored five runs for the visitors.

|BAR0NS TWO GAMES
 IN LEAD 0F CHICKS
Two Games Today Against Gulls-Pelicans Will Be
 Playing Crackers

TWO full games now separate the Bar ons, holders of second place, and the slumping Chicks. The sensational squirt of the Barons featured the past week. They jumped from a bad percentage in third place ahead of the Chicks by play ing consistent ball, the kind that counts Although we have gained but lit- tie on the Pelicans, Moley has made Johnny Dobbs realize that he will have a hard fight before the ownership of the 1915 pennant is decided.
 At the present the Pels have lead of four and a half games Today they play the Crackers, who will undoubtedly give them tough fight. The Chicks are con- tinually growing weaker under the ter rible strain that the Pels and Barons are setting and now the fight for the rag seemingly lies between Moley and Dobbs. If the Barons can win the se- ries from the Gulls which opens today and the the Crackers can handle the Pelicans, things will certainly look good for the home team.
 Today the Barons will stack up against Charley Schmidts low flying Gulls. All the dope favors the Barons to win cas- fly but you never can tell. So Moley won't take any serious chances and play safe with a result that the fans hope will land the team in first place. Of Robert son, Black and Perryman. the first two will probably represent the Barons on the mound although Moley stated that he may work Black and Perryman. Tex" Coyington and Karr will work for the Gulls. The morning fray starts at 10 o'clock and the afternoon game at inc usual time-3:@. F. J. B.

Team Playing Con- sistent Game-Superbas Crack Under Strain-Red Sox Still Lead-Ty-gers Gaining Ground

| New York, September 5.-Philadel- phia, Boston and Brooklyn remain the chief factors in the National league race. The PhiIlies still lead by approx imateIy as many points as a week ago; the Braves are coming strong but tlic superbas failed to hold their own. In the American league Boston and Detroit virtually are the only contenders, the ing. By taking double header today from St. Louis, Detroit decreased Bos- tons lead.
 Pat Moran's lead was outscored by their opponents during the week and yet they managed to win more than half their games and picked up few per centage points. After besting St. Louis they encountered New York and more than held their own with the Giants Boston and Brooklyn fought 1t out for second place and the Braves hold the position by a single point. sStallings fighting clan won two-thirds of its games and despite the suspension of Johnny Evers is playing an aggressive game which gives it's supporters confidence that 1t yet will capture the flag. The Braves tackle the Giants Labor day.
 Brooklyns games with the Phi1ade.- phia leaders, beginning Monday, may de- eide whether the Superbas will go west with chance for pennant honors or out of the fight. They have not proved an overstrong road team and need all the ground they can gain while play ing at home. Their series with the Braves hurt their chances, as they lost two out of three games and had to sur render second place. None of the other clubs in the league did better than break even.
 Red Sox Still Leading
 American league honors again fell to the Red Sox Carrigan's men did not lose a game. Their twirlers are holding opposing teams to notably low scores, while the Boston bats are going busfly
 Detroit also is hitting the ball hard, but it is not getting the quality of pitch- ing with which the leaders are favored. However they pretty well disposed of Chicagos chances by beating the White Sox three straight games and made the race virtually two team affair.

Atlanta, September 5.-The first days citation clubs entering on the home stretch of the pennnnt race found New Orleans still leading by comfortable margin, but with another club in sec snd place. Birminghnm, fighting for weeks for second place, followed their victory of two out of three games from Memphis the latter half of the previous week. by climbing into second place when the Chicks faltered In their stride. Birminghnm's busting of Memphis from the place next to the leaders has raised high hopes among Baron fans for n spurt that might nose out the leaders.
 The Pelicans after last Sundays loss of double header to the Little Rock Travellers, found the week easy. Three off days in the schedule gave them a rest and on the other days they won four games, including today's double header, and tied one. Other teams apparently kept their same stride, and remained in the same relative positions.

During the past week the Barons won three straight games from Atlanta-a team that in tae first half of the week took three out of four games from Memphis. In only one of their games with the Crackers did the Barons seem to have to extend them selves. That was in Fridays 12-inning game. played in Birmingham. The Bar ons won it 4 to 8.
 The Chicks finally braced up in the latter half of the week and trounced Nashville two out of three games in a series played in Nashville, but dropped a doubleheader today to Little Rock.
 Besides the 12-inning Birmingham-At- lanta game, there was another extra in- ming affair during the week-that in which New Orleans and Mobile battled to a 5 to 5 tie on Saturday. Pelican errors seemed to keep New Orleans from adding this game to their string of victories Each team made 12 hits and 5 runs, but the Pelicans misplayed seven times to one error for Mobile. Today the Pellcans piled up 22 runs in the second game of . double header with Mobile, both games of which New Orleans won.
 Summing up results of the weeks play, records show the games won and lost by individual teams, including games from Monday through today, are as follows:

WHO is THE WISE
MAN AMONG THEM?

The following well-known Per
sons have given opinions concerning
the duration of the present war.
Charles Edward Russell, economist,
four to ten months.
Herman Ridder, editor, tour
months.
J. w. T. Mason, war expert, when
England wants peace.
Roger Babson, economist, when
soldiers demand it.
George S. Viereck, editor, %hree
months.
Hiram Percy Maxim, inventor,
next winter.
Norman Hapgood, editor. one
year.
Frank H. Simonds, military critic,
two years.
Louis Gathmann, inventor, two
years.
Hudson Maxim, inventor, two or
three years.
Nikla Tesla, inventor, four years.
Roger Babson, the economist, the
fourth in the list, may have struck
the truth. 1t is within the power Of
the men with the musket to bring the
carnage to close any time they get
good and ready. That they will
sooner or later, grow tired of riskine
their lives for the glory of their SOW.
ereigns may be safely inferred.
Those who passed through the
sufferings of last winter are APP
paled when they read that another
inclement season is to be spent in
the trenches, and no one can say pos
lively that the SHOWS of other Win
tiers will not find them huddled in
holes in the earth lodging shells.
1t was thought at the first by those
who had carefully studied the situa-
ton that it would be test of endur-
ance. This semes to be the safest
prophecy.
