Bresnahan can celebrate at Pat"
Morans expense. But. again, the
Cubs have not had such winning
streak since the old machine began
to fall to pieces in 1911, and there
fore il is unreasonable to expect it
can do the work now.
st. Louis, Pittsburgh and Cincin-
natl seem hopelessly out of it as the
Cardinals must play at a .794 clip. the
Pirates at a speed of S4S and the
Reds at 1856 TO dent the armor Of
Moran at a 500 pace. Two weeks ago
Cincinnati was doing nicely but after
four straight defeats at the hands Of

above ratio in vogue, just glance at
what is necessary should Moran's
men Chamber toward the goal at the
pace they have been going which is
not at all unreasonable to expect with

centage of .561. II they continue as
fast until the end they will proba-

forty games fer q final percentage of
.561. To overcome this Brooklyn
must win twenty-three games and lose
but ten of their remaining thirty
three contests. Again the custom of
the Dodgers makes this seem almost
impossible
once more the Braves must be
handled charity for again their rec
ord of last year assumes gigantic
proportions when figures are being
used for argumentative purposes. With
this in mind the fact is given that
George Stallings' sterling outfit must
win twenty-seven struggles and lose
only eleven in their final dash. The
Braves can do this, provided they
perform as last year, but sometimes
performers lose a cue or two no mat

TRAP SHOOTING
GENERAL SPORTS
Delaware COUNTY
LEAGUE TO SPLIT season

The Delaware County League is
looking forward to bigger things next
year, and instead of one game a week.
as has been played in the past. two
games will be played, the season for
next year to be composed of forty
eight games instead of twenty-four.
This was decided upon at a recent
meeting in Media. and it was also de-
cided to divide the season into two
series, the pennant to go at the end
of the year to the team winning both
series. or, if different teams win the
series. the championship will be de-
cided by a series of five games at the
end of the season.
The league is stronger in playing
strength than at any time this sea-
son. Chester, representing the only
city in the county. was the weak sis
ter of the league, and with its with
drawal put Brill, a Philadelphia club
representing the J. c.. Brill Co., in
the league. This strengthened the or
ganlzation, and harmony was restored
with the pulling out of Frank l.. Poth.

the management of Councilman John

Cross, formerly of the Athletics. was

lies on their "fifty-ffty" basis. the
Braves will not have to play at such
speed but they will have to register
seven victories out of every ten play
ed in their remaining thTty-eight
contests. Not at any time this year
has the Boston champions been able
to clip off triumphs at anything near
this ratio. The Braves actually will
have to take twenty-four of their
remaining contests to win, provided
the Phillies only break even.
Giants Need a Miracle.
The Giants still have forty games
to play before the curtain drops on
the championship chase. If they
should overcome all their bad habits
and miraculously or otherwise cap
ture thirty-one of these contests the
Phillies. still reasoning at an even
break. will bemoan the loss of the
flag to these veteran pennant winners

is not winning as often as it is los
ing to finish at a speed of us, which
is necessary. seems about in the same
category as asking a balky mule to
explain why he balks.

eRAspIMe AT THE SHADOW

No man-especially if he is mar ried-would deny woman any right she demands. Take the earth and give us peace, but why does woman long for the ballot?
 When all is said and done, is not the selection of the butcher more i'm. portant to the home than the election of mayor; Is not the employment of the dairyman a far more important event in the life of the children than the appointment of a postmaster; is not the selection of books for the family library more important than voting bonds for jail and court house? Why does woman lay aside the i'm portant things in life? Why leave the substance and grasp at the shadow?
 Be it said to the credit of woman. hood that 1t Is not, as a rule, the woman who rocks the cradle that wants to cast the ballot; 1t is not the mother who teaches her children to say Now lay me down to sleep" that harangues the populace; it is not the daughter who hopes to reign as queen over a happy home that longs for the uniform of the sufsragette. It IS, as a rule, the woman who despises her home. neglects her children and scorns motherhood that leads parades sud smsshes wiudowA

INSPIRATION OF ''''' '''' n0uAAuA AoQAA0 AS 
 /. THE COUNTY FAIR
 By Peter Radford.

When you enter the agricultural de- partment of the county fair, you feel your soul uplifted and your life takes on a new power-that is the inspira- tion of the soil. You are overpowered by the grandeur and magnificence Of the scene-that is the spirit of the harvest. You can hear the voice of nature calling you back to the sofl- that iss opportunity knocking at your door. It is a good chance to spend 8 quiet hour in contact with the purity and perfection of nature and to sweet en your life with it's fragrance, elevate your ideals with it's beauty and expand your imagination with it's power.
 These products as food are fit for the gods, and as an article of com merce they ought to bring tip-top prices on any market in the world.
 The products of the soil are teachers and preachers as we'll. Their beauty gives human life it's first entertain. ment, their perfection stirs the genius in artists; their purity furnishes mod els for growth of character and their marvellous achievements excite our curiosity and we inquire into the won derful process of nature.
 Before leaving the parlor of agricul' ture where nature Is parading in her most graceful attire and science is climbing the giddy heights of perfec' tion, let us pause and take a retro spective view. How many of you know that after these wonderful prod ucts are raised, they can seldom be marketed at a profit? Take the blush ing Elberta, for example-they were fed to the hogs by the carload last year. The onion-the nations favorite vegetable-every year rots by the acre in the Southwest for want of a market and as a result hundreds o1 farmers have lost their homes. Cot ton-natures capitalist-often goes begging on the market at less than cost of production.
 It is great to wander through the exhibits while the band is playing Dixie and boast of the marvellous fertility of the soil and pride ourselves on our ability to master science, but it is also we'll to remember that there is market side to agriculture that does not reflect it's hardships in the exhibits at county fair.

consuIs Have Troubles.

The stranded American IS the bans of the consul His office is invaded by persons claiming his good offices after their plans have gone askew. Those in better circumstances demand that the consul indorse their notes at the bank, those in poorer circumstances demand to be sent home. It is aNpar s6tly fixed idea that a consul can draw on the treasury for the relief of stranded Americans. Many cases of d1z'yess are pitiable and consuls, not even +ecouped against the social ex- penses xscidental to their position. have to gtya -elief out of their prl- vate mems and to stand the inev- table loss. The coly persons whom consuls are authorized by law to aid are sailors on the articles of vessel of American registry wrecked within their consular districts, and in this case only to the extent of immediate relief and passage to the next Amer lean port

UNIVERSAL PEACE

This nation is now in the midst of a controversy as to how best to pro mote universal peaoa. That question we will leave for diplomats to dis cuss, but peace within nations is no less important than peace between nations and it is heavily laden with prosperity for every citizen within our commonwealth.
 Many leading politicians and ofttimes political platforms have declared war upon business and no cabinet crisis ever resulted. Many men have stood in high places and hurled "gas bombs" at industry; thrust bayonets into bus. mess enterprises and bombarded az riculture with indifference. Party leaders have many times broken dip lomatic relations with industry; sent political aviators spying through the affairs of business, and political sub- marines have sent torpedoes crushing into the destiny of commerce. Dur ing the past quarter of a century we have fought many a duel with prog ress, permitted many politicians to carry on guerrilla warfare against civilization and point a pistol at the heart of honest enterprise.
 No man should be permitted to cry out for universal peace until his rec ord has been searched for explosives, for no vessel armed or laden with munitions of war should be given a clearance to sail for the port of Uni versal Peace. Let us by all means have peace, but peace, like charity, should begin at home.
