GRIFFTTHS AND BRETON DRAW. Akron Boy Makes Jack Hustle to Get
 Even Break.

Canton, Ohio, Sept. 7-Johnny Grif- fiths of Akron earned a draw with Jack Britton by great spurt in the last round of their bout here yester- day. Grifiths fought a perfunctory battle during the early rounds and Britton's ring generalship and clev- erness easily made him the master.
 Jumping to his feet in the last round Griffiths rushed at Britton. They met in the center of the ring. The Akron boy immediately uncorked a terrific left to the stomach. Britton winced. Griffiths followed with a fusillade of punches that caused the Chicago fighter, to hold. Britton was in distress. Grif1iths, however, was unable to land a knockout.

 For the Phillies to Win.
 For the Phillies to win, Demaree, Rixey and Mayer must come to Alex ander's help with a supply of winning stuff, for with Rudolph, Tyler, Nehf and Hughes Stallings can bank on sound pitching the rest of the year as good pitching as he got last fall, when the Big Three were no more formidable than a select set of siege guns loaded to the muzzle, or snout, as the case may be.
 Alexander, as great as he is, can't hold his club up for a month but with fair outside aid he can make the finish one of those scalp-lifting affairs that move along in the fanatical memories of after years.

What with golf and tennis over this week, there will soon be nothing left in sport but pennant races, world series and a lot of football games. The only depressing effect which this brings is the thought that basebalrs winter league is only some six weeks away. Here's where the pest exter- minator should swing in at top speed.

THE PRESIDENT
WANTS TO Be KING
John Brisben Walker and Friends
of Peace Advise Mr.. Wilson
of His Prerogatives.

NEW YORK, Aug. 22.--Copies Of this
telegram sent Saturday to President
Wilson by the national convention COM
mittee of THE Friends of Peace" an
organization formed under German
American auspices, has been given to
the newspapers as follows:
Great interests. willing to slay a
million men. II thereby they can add
additional profits to their already
swollen fortunes. are urging war in
that portion Of the unneutral press Of
New York which they control
In this hour. fraught with danger.
The Friends Of Peace respectfully
ask the attention Of the President to
the mandatory provisions of the Con-
stitution Of the United States.
No intention of the great trainers
Of that document was more clear
than the determination TO separate
the Presidency from kingly power.
From the exercise of his arbitrary
authority by George III had come
our troubles with England.
The most dangerous of kingly pre-
negatives Is that Of declaring war.
That authority was expressly COM
mltted, In our constitution, solely to
Congress. Without question, the issue
of manfestos which put the country
in the position Of being obliged to de-
clare war, in order to back up our
declarations. are direct assumptions
of the kingly power so distinctly for
bidden in the Constitution and so ex-
pressly committed to Congress and to
Congress alone.
1t is impossible to conceive Of any
violation Of the Constitution that Is
more fraught with menace to the
public welfare or likely to be more
dangerous to the permanence Of the
republic.
II this kingly role should be as
su:ned the great spectators and
their great crnwd of jingoes would be
able with the aid Of an Executive, or
even a Secretary of State, to sweep
the nation off it's feet into that most
frightful of calamties-modern war;
fare.
IT is in no unfriendly spirit, Mr..
President, that The Friends of Peace,
at a time of so much danger. place
before you the mandatory character
of the Constitutional provision, which
takes the war-making power. and. as
a corollary, all action calculated to
involve us in war, from the hands Of
the President and commits 1t solely
to the Representative of the people
in Congress assembled.
Very respectfully,
JOHN BRISBEN WALKER.
