BOXERS ARE READY
 FOR TONIGHTS SHOW
Edwards Arrives in Town Ready for Ridge-"Joe" Rocco Will
 Have Fast Opponent.

Everything is in readiness for the all-star boxing exhibition under the auspices of the Federal A. c. this evening at Hannas armory, when the fifteen round battle between Paul Ed wards of Pittsburg and Danny Ridge of New York will feature.
 Edwards, a boy who bears the ear marks of being a tough customer, ar rived in this city yesterday afternoon and immediately began final prepara- tions for conditioning himself for the fray tonight. Edwards is a confident sort of a chap, and expects to be a winner in this evenings fray. He knows that he is up against a hard nut in Ridge, but does not seem to have any fears of the outcome.
 Accompanied by Manager McGee, Edwards and several trainers inspect ed the ring in the armory this after noon and expressed themselves as sat- isfed. The contract for the fight signed by Managers McGee and Walsh of the club is a very fair one. It states specifically that if Edwards quits or refuses to abide by Referee Willis rulings he will not take a cent for his end of the purse.
 "Joe'' Rocco, who meets the stiffest opponent he has ever faced, reports being in the best shape of his career and expects to score victory over Young Fulton tonight.
 The preliminary will bring to- gether "Young'' Pichot and Young Durham, local celebrities, in the cur tain raiser for six rounds.
 Referee John F. Willis will handle the boxers in the ring in his usual capable manner and E. s. Kilby will hold the timepiece.

Bluffing Strangers.
(Meriden Journal. )

The people who have returned from summer outings have many interest ing mem ories of new people they have met. A stay at a resort hotel is study in human nature. A great many bluffs are thrown" There are many people who are very desirious to inn press their fellow visitors, that they occupy positions of wealth, promi- hence, and authority, which at home they could never possibly fill. It takes much penetration to size up strangers for what they really are.
 At home people may walk to the station and carry their own hand lug gage for quite a distance. At hotels they seem to feel they lower them selves if they carry a small bag short distance to the railroad station. It might be thought by the observ- CTS that they were able to help themselves.
 It is funny how people will punish and economize in their home life for fifty weeks, in order to swell around in lavish way at some resort for the other two.
 Many people today prefer the sim pie life of camps One great reason is that they are tired of an atmos- phere where So many persons seem to be posing for effect.

FEDS CLOSE FIGHT.
Three Teams Battling For Goufalou
 In Closing Days of Season.


 Chicago yesterday was almost put out of the Federal League pennant race by losing to Pittsburgh, which therby strengthened it's hold on the lead in the close race, while St. Louis resumed second place by defeating Kansas City again. To win the cham pionship Chicago would have to win all of the four remaining games it has to play, as they are all with Pitts burgh. 4
 , St. Louis, today still seemed to it's supporters to have the best chance for the flag, as it has only two games to play and has one more victory to its credit than the leader, which has ,toY play it's four remaining games with Chicago. In order to win, however, St. Louis would have to win both it's games while Pittsburgh lost half of its four, or take one game while the Rebels lost three. q

KNEW TT ALL THE TIME.
Red Sox Players Were Certain of Pennant After Series With Detroit.

Pennant After Series With Detroit.
 Boston, Oct. 1.-There was only a ripple of interest in this city today when word came of Detroit's defeat, and the consequent clinching of the American League championship by the Red Sox. The outcome of the pennant race had been regarded as a foregone conclusion since the Tigers were routed in the last three games of the sensational series played here two weeks ago.
 The Red Sox players learned of the accomplishment of their desires as they boarded a train for Wash ington, where they play today. Dur ing the afternoon they had watched the Philadelphia Nationals, their rivals in the worlds series competi- tion which begins next week, in ac- tion against the Braves.
 With the exception of Captain Barry, the Red Sox will present full strength in the remaining league games. Barry, whose coming from the Athletics in midseasoh has gem orally been regarded as the deciding factor in Boston's success, was left to maintain watch on the play of the Phillies. A carbuncle which had troubled him has nearly healed.

A Ballade for Pat Moran.

A Ballade for Pat Moran. 5.. Rise, Homer, from your ancient sleep And stand once more against the sky; Once more let throbbing echoes sweep Parnassian heights that range on
 high; roff .t< Tell us how Hector came to die Achilles flashing out the span e. And then, before your ghost must Chant us a ballad for Moran. From where the silent shadows creep Rise, Burning Sappho,'' with your
 cry,
 That once made countless thousands
 leap
 To catch your lyric heraldry; You, too, loved souls that might defy Red Fate that storms the fighting
 clan,
 But ere your startled ghost must fly Chant us a ballad for Moran. So all who've made us sing or weep, Immortal bards whove drifted by TO darkness in the Stygian deep With no last song to make reply You who once loved a Batting Eye And courage in the soul of man, Return, but ere your ghost must fly Chant us ballad for Moran.

 World Series Base Running.
 Tn the forthcoming world series roundup comparisons will soon be made of the base running ability of Thillies and Red Sox, these compari- sons to be lifted from the records of the two clubs.
 o Dope, where is thy f1ing-as the saying has it.
 Last fall the Mackmen were to run rings around the Braves along the old tCwpath. The records showed they had stolen 229 bases, to 139 for the Braves. They had a margin of nearly 100 steals. They had Collins and Barry. Oldring and Strunk, Eddie Murphy and McInnis, most of them fast sprinters who knew the way around.
 Boston had but one base runner who had stolen more than fifteen | bases-Walter Maranville, with twen- ty-eight. Yet through the whirl of the four ! game world series Boston stole nine ! bases to Philadelphia's two-better l than four to one.
 The records and the dope proved Cne thing here-but the box score failed to follow suit. World Series Batting. This season the Red Sox are batting | around .264, while the Phils are resting under 250. Therefore, pro- l claims the Statistician, the Red Sox will outbat the Phillies next week. The same dope received a terrible jolt upon the epiglottis last year. X 1 The Mackmen batted PIP for the season. The Braves batted, .251.

WORDS OF PRESIDENT
AS TEXT OF SERMON
"Too Proud to Fight Forms Theme
of Rev. c. Everest Granger at Gun
ton Memorial Church.

President Wilson's words. too proud
to fight" formed the theme of last
nights sermon by Rev. c. Everest
Granger at Gunton Temple Memorial
Presbyterian Church, the speaker de-
claring the words to be the keynote of
American civilization. the ideals of
which. he said, were higher and nobler
than those of any other nation in the
world
Prafsing the President and the mem
bers of his ca binet for their constant
efforts to maintain peace, Rev. Granger
said:
The cause of world peace would not
be advanced if we went to war. Some
say we must stand upon our rights.
but that is what has kept the world
powers at war for 1000 years. We must
be patriotic and at the same time SO
sincere that we can endure an indig
nifty. True patriotism. ] think, does not
consist of eagerness to rush into deadly
warfare in defense Of national rights.
but in upholding the ideals of national
righteousness. What we desire is a ma
ton of poise rather than nation in
passion. Freedom of speech is so preva-
lent in the United States that ministers
as well as political leaders can say
what they please. even in times of ex-
treme tension, but 1t is generally ex-
pected that those who occupy positions
of responsibility will not become agi-
tators when the country Is facing a
