a city second to none of its size in the
United States for enterprise, it gives
promise of becoming a Mecca for base
ball talent.
Leidy Wants a Winner.
Now while all of this is transpiring
around Ell PasO, Cap Leidy is here en-
acting the role "hustling for a winner"
in the Texas league. Cap is in 1t up
to his ears getting a line on desirable
men. Boss Benson has given him a
free rein, so that he may take anything
that looks good, and when he gets the
players signed up it will be Cap Leidy
and nobody else that will have the
say so as to who's in the line up.
Thus the responsibility will all be with
Cap and, fully realizing this, he is
sizing up the men ne expects in the
line up in cautious, slow, careful and
critical manner.
Wants Good ShOrtstOp.
All power to Cap" say the fans, FOR
they are with him to a man, and as
there's nobody who knows the fans
better than Cap himself, he is trying
his utmost to keep them in that Opti-
mistic mood. Right now Cap is reach

inning struggle. This particular game
served to bring about the first big
league enforcement of a rule that was
adopted after the close of the 1908 sea
son. It was a rule made to keep man
ayers from jockeying pitchers at will,
and read as follows:
when the umpire announces the
pitcher prior to the commencement Of
game, the player announced must pitch
until the first batsman has either been
put out or has reached first base"
Late in the game CantillOn made a
shift Of pitchers and, after the substi-
tuted pitcher had thrown one ball, he
expressed a desire to take him out The
umpires in charge held that the pitcher
was compelled to pitch until the bats

PIRATES LEADING
FEDERAL LEAGUE
Win All Four Points From Braves in
Cactus League Bowling; Athletics
Win FROM the Tigers.

LacTu8 League hONFllmEs AumleLlcG
Win From the Tigers.
As a result of the bowling in the
Federal league on the Cactus club al
leys Tuesday night the Pirates. who
went into first place last week, greatly
increased their lead over the other
teams. In the first match the Pirates
took all four points from the Braves
who are in third place, while in the
second the tail end Athletics took three
out Of four from the Tigers. The Pi-
rates big win over the Braves, and the
Athletics, 8 to 1 victory over the Tigers
put the Pirates five games in the lead,
an almost insurmOuntable lead at this
stage of the game and gives the Ath-
lettcs an excellent chance to climb out
of the cellar.
The Athletics are now only one game
behind the Braves and with Fenner go
ing the way he has for the past three
weeks it is almost certain that the
Athletics will climb out and turn the
cellar championship over to the Braves.
In the first game Tuesday night Fem

a game of 213 and total of 538. In the

Lack of American Banks
Hampers u. S. in South

Substitution Of the American dollar
for the pound sterling as the basis for
exchange in South America is ham,
pered by the lack Of American banking
facilities, the Department Of Commerce
today declared in announcing the COM
pletion Of an investigation Of banking
opportunities in Latin-American coun-
tries.
New York exchange has taken the
place Of London exchange for Chilean
nitrate sales. the department says, in
announcing a report by Consul General
Keense. at Valparaiso. on the sale to
an American firm Of 1000 tons Of nitrate
with payment by drafts on New York
for $1b500o.
Consul General Keense adds, how
ever. that since there IL no American
bank in Chile. much OF the benefit OF
the tendency to establish dollar ex-
change must be lost. as this type OF
exchange is only temporarily favored BY
foreign banks.

LONDON. Sept co.-Sir Felix semcn,

HERE IT IS At LAST!
CHURCH MOVIE SHOW
indianapolis Presbyterian Con-
gregation Fits Up Basement
and win Exhibit Films.

INDIANAPOLIS. Sept. eo.-It's going
to be done. and the Sutherland Presby-
terian Church is going to do It.
What?
Why, a regular film show every night
In the week. maybe. and religious Aims
every sunday night with an accompany
ing serrnon-lecture by the pastor. Car
penters have been busy for several days
fixing up the church basement por the
innovation. and probably in a week the
show will be running full blast. Admis-
sion will be charged on week nights, be-
cause one Of the principal objects Of the
shows will be to raise money for the
church fund. The Sunday evening shows
will be free and will constitute the regu-
lar evening service.
The Sutherland Church Is the first in
Indianap polls to go into the motion pic
ture business. and the pastor and his
advisers believe the plan will accomplish
much in drawing persons to the church
and in affording them proper amuse-
ment The basement is being converted
into a comfortable hall with chairs and
screen and a fire-proof, film box just
like any Of the regular movie houses.
All these improvements will cost about
$500. which has been donated by
member Of the congregation. A Aim
manager also belongs to the church and
Will give assistance In selecting films
and arranging the technical details.
Members Of the church believe they
could not have chosen a better plan
than this to obtain the money necessary
for a new church building. Nickels and
dimes don't roll in very fast at church
socials and similar functions: you have
only to look at the plaster and gilt
facades of the movie temples to tell the
difference. SO the church decided on
the films. The Rev. william Carson Is
pastor Of the church.
