of the teams won a game each and
dropped five since last Sunday.
All of the first division teams. except
Montreal. have frightened their hold,
while the leaders and the runner-ups
have both done the most consistent
work of the week. Providence leads in
wins with seven, while the Grays have
only dropped one game. Buffalo fol-
lows with four victories and two de-
fcats Harrisburg has five victories
and two defeats chalked up and has in

would aid the Climbers materially and
would give the boys confidence enough
TO take the long end of the Canadian.
Here's hoping that they repeat the
feat of the last Canadian trip, when
Richmond won six in row on foreign
soil.
In the story Of the game yesterday
Pick is mentioned as hootinG the ball.
The official box score fails to show an
error for him. a local sports writer
sent in the story OF the game, while
a Jersey City scorer makes up the
official box. This, perhaps, accounts
for the heavy hitting Of the Northern
clubs. Errors on visiting players are
smoothed over and the homo batters
credited with hits.

 Whether President Wilson was guid- ed by an excessive caution or a deeper insight into the true facts concerning the culpability of American residents in the Southern Republic than the Amercan public were aware of has not been determined, but at the same time all circumstances and conditions consi- dered it is clear that his was the way which we believe the bulk of the Amer jean people recognizes at it's true value. In the matter of the present European situation it is beyond doubt true, as Roosevelt insists, that the United States should take immediate action in regard to the sinking of American Ves-
 sels and the destruction of American lives in the German war zone. yet. with al it may be submitted that even in this respect the President cannot be l justly condemned for the failure to
 make the Eagle scream" before the n

 the Lusitania disaster Germany was always ready with the excuse of
 doubtful identity" which. while in itself allowing considerable doubt as to the sincerity of Germany at the same time placed the administration in q position where definite action was eX- tremely difficult owing to the possibility
 that Germany might be right and that the several attacks on American yes
 sels were in all reality mistaken iden- tity. Until it had been clearly demon strated that Germany did not exercise due caution or failed altogether to re-
 gard the rights of neutrals. it was
 plainly the part of discretion for the President to proceed slowly in the mat ter of making demands which might ] lead to vital extremes. And. in his de- termination to adopt that course it is
 believed that the Executive had the hearty endorsement of the great body of the American people
