Wants $4,000 for Auto Injury.

Suit for $1,000 against the Phillips
& Taylor Transfer company was be-
gun in the circuit court Monday by
Mrs. Amelia Davis, who conducts a
boarding house at the corner of Main
and Howell streets, through hire at
torney, Ellis F. Wilson. The suit is
the result of an accident on the morn
ing of September 16, in which Mrs.
Davis was hurt.
Mrs. Davis claims that on the morn
ing in question she was crossing Main
street at the intersection of Elm and
stopped on one side of the car track
to allow car to pass. A second later
she alleges, taxicab owned by the
defendants and driven by Harry
Tubbs, struck her. She says she was
knocked down and dragged ten feet,
sustaining injuries that confined her
to her bed for several weeks. She
claims she sustained several cracked
and broken ribs and that she was bad
ly bruised and cut about the body and
legs. She says it cost her 5000 for
medical services and $500 for a nurse
and other help to conduct her board
ing house until she was able to get
out again.

WAS THERE A TRADE?

The Minneapolis Tribune figures
that Wilson got about three thousand
of his votes in Minnesota through a
trade between the Democrats and the
Socialists. There is no doubt that the
Republican national ticket was out
rageously traded in many quarters,
but this is the first suggestion that
trading went on between any party
and the Socialists, who are supposed
to play lone hand at the polls on
election day. 1t has been asserted
that the Socialists in States where the
blanket-ballot primary prevails have
been made use of to swing the nomina-
tions Of one or the other of the old
parties. But their stern political
morality was thought to be immune
against any Establishments on the day
of real election.

Next Campaign Already Begun.


Washington. Dec. 8.-Vance McCor-
mick, Chairman of the Democratic
National Committee, announces that he
is already laying plans for the cam
paign. for congress two years hence.
Mr. Mccormick Is not alone in this de-
termination. The Republican Congress
sional Committee Is a continuous body,
with permanent headquarters and a
staff in this city, and is always on the
job. The Senatorial Campaign Com.
mit,ee, which came into existence with
the campaign of 1915 Is another Repub'
lican organization Whose functions do
not cease with election day. and 1t, too.
will maintain its activities. The next
campaign has already begun.
The impotency of the President as
vote-getter for others than himself has
now had two demonstrations. In 1914,
the cry "Stsnd by the President" did
not prevent the gaining by Republicans
of a majority of the state delegations
In congress; and II 1t had not been for
iniquitous system of Southern represen
tation, that body would have boon
strongly Republican. This year, on the
plea that "he kept us out of war" the
President gained slender lead in the
electoral vote while the lower house of
Congress apparently passed into the
hands of the Republicans, who were
almost uniformly successful with their
state tickets all through the North
the Southern situation again working
to the advantage of the Democrats.
In 1918 the Presidents own foptunes
and personality will not be an issue.
That campaign will turn upon wider
survey of the Democratic administra
TONS work than has yet been had, and
the value of the policies which the Pres
ident espouses or which will be thrust
upon him especially by organized labor
may then be passed upon.
Republicans, generally speaking, have
no misgivings about 19lS-or about
1920 either-for they regard thereverses
of this year as due to causes which can
and which will be remedied.
AN APPROPRIATE STORY.
Judge Hooks instanter decision that
the Adamson law is unconstitutional
recalls the story of Tom Reeds admis'
sion to the bar, which took place in
California just after the Civil war.
The examiner asked him one question:
us the legal tender act conststutionalg"
Reed replied instantly, Yes" To his
anna cement the examiner said: Young
man, anyone who can answer grave
question like that in 80
short time for reflection Is surely en-
titled to practice law in the courts of
California You are admitted"
CREDIT TO PARKER.
The result of the election turned upon
30 slender margin that any one CT a
number of causes may be assigned for
it. The Presidently evidently thinks
that John R. Parker. candidate for Vice
President on the headess Progressive
ticket. had something to do with 1t. AT
any rate, Mr. Wilson has written to
Mr. Parker to tell of his appreciation Of
the course which the Bull Moose Header
followed.

The simultaneous advertising of the
$50,O00,0O0 Russian loan and the $5,-
100000 Chinese loan which the news
papers have lately been carrying fur
nishes one striking argument in refu-
tation Of the except us out of war"
slogan. So long as foreign nations
whether at war or in peace look to
us for food, for materials and for
money they will not permit us to get
into war under any circumstances.

NATIONAL LEAGUE.

the Giants lost four games to the
Phillies. Moving TO Chicago, New
York lost three out Of four games.
The Giants seem to be weak in the
production Of runs and their fielding
is poor. They won the only game in
which they did not make an error.
New York is now more than l25
points behind Brooklyn and is not
playing so good a game as the Robins,
Philadelphia or Boston. The National
race appears to have now narrowed
down to three teams, with Brooklyn
having the best chance because of its
hold on first place and the steadiness
of its pitching staff. The Boston
pitchers are erratic. while Philadel-
phia has only one consistent boxman,

Six American League and
Three in National
Still in Race.

Six teams in the American League
are separated by virtually the same
number Of points as three teams in
the National, and the worlds cham
pionship is the possible achievement
of each Of the nine organizations.
The race in the American frightened
during the last week and six teams are
punched closely. In the National there
was not much change among the three
leaders, except that Philadelphia moved
into second place, sending the Boston
Braves 10 third.
The Boston Red Sox retain the lead
in the American by slightly greater
margin than at the beginning of the
week. The number of games played
was smaller than usual because of the
open dates in the schedule. The Red
Sox had a fourgame battle with Chi
cago, and the result was a tie, with
two games won for each team.
The White SoX lost the first two
games. one a sixteen-inning affair, but
took the last two Of the series Boston
also broke even in two games with
Washington and won Saturday from
Cleveland.
Inc W mite SoN were SNunlSu 70 lhliu
place Sunday, but regained second
place Friday after Cleveland had lost
three straight games TO New York.
Cleveland began the week well, but
started the last Eastern trip poorly
against New York, the Yankees win
ming every game of the series. New
York made the best advance of any
team in the league, winning five
straight from Philadelphia and Cleve-
land, but losing Saturday TO Chicago.
Although the Yankee lineup is Writ
ually the same as in the disastrous
Western trip, the return TO New York
seemed TO help, and Donovan's men are
now in a position to regain the league
leadership.
Brooklyn ended its stay at home by
losing three of the four games with
the Braves. The Robins started their
Western trip Thursday at Pittsburgh
and took three out of four games
from the Pirates Brooklyn is without
the services of Captain Daubert for its
final swing through the West
Boston, although it managed to de-
feat Brooklyn in its series, lost sec

chances in the opening inning Of the
game. In the first frame Stengel sliced
a single 10 left field and McCarty drew
a pass. George Cutshaw defed tradi-
tion by slamming out a single after
receiving his gold watch. His hit filled
the sacks, but two were out, and Now
rey ended the inning with rap 10
Workman. Meyers and Coombs singled
in succession in the second, but moth
ing came of il.
IL remained for Buck Wheat TO lay
the foundation for Brooklyn's first run,
and Claude Hendrix rendered valuable
assistance in getting Buck over the
plate. The Cherokee laced a three
Dagger to left centre field. in the gen
eral direction of the Marine Hospital
This so upset Hendrix that he cut loose
a wild splitter that whistled past Rowdy
Elliott on the wings of the wind, and
Wheat scored.
There is no crowd more partisan
than Chicago crowd, but none more
appreciative of good baseball. The
fans roared their applause when Make
Flack robbed Stengel of two-bagger
by great lesping catch out near the
fence. Mike Mowrey won his share Of
credit by two fine plays. His one
handed grab of Knabe's rap in the
third frame robbed the erstwhile Fed
manager of 4 single, and his scintllant
grab of a drive by Leslie Mann re-
suited in a double play, for a fine throw
nipped Rolie Zeider off first base. Vic
Safer backed Casey Stengel back to the
right field gate for his liner, but Casey
made the catch all right, and the crowd
cheered. Chief Meyers wished Heinie
Zimmerman well when the third-sacker
made leaping catch of his line drive.
The score follows:

McGraW Men Shut Out in
First Game of Series
with Cards.

St. Louis, Aug. 20.-Bob Steele ap-
piled a coat of whitewash TO the Giants
this afternoon, and McGraw's men
dropped the opening game of the series
with the Cards, 3 to O.
The New Workers hit Steele hard at
times, but suffered from lack Of sbil-
ity to bunch their blows. On the other
hand, the Mound City batters pelted
RUDE Benton frequently and with force,
and the big left handler helped them
on their way by issuing five passes to
first.
Benton retired to allow Kelly to bat
for him in the eighth, and George
Smith, late of Columbia, who finished
the game, presented the Cards with
their final run by uncorking wild
pitch with man on third.
The Higgins clan broke the ice in
the fifth when Bethel doubled to left,
reached third on Longs fly to Kauff
and tailed on Snyder's smash to right.
Not content with such a small lead the
Cards resumed their assault in the
sixth. Hornsby doubled and Wilson
sent one down toward third which
Herzog and Benton allowed to roll be-
tween them. Miller died on fly to
Burns, on which Wilson took second,
and Gonzales walked. filling the sacks.
Bruno Bethel laced the ball in the
direction of Benny KauF, but Benny
misjudged it. The pellet sailed over
his head and into deep centre, Bethel
taking three bases and scoring Horns
by, Wilson and Gonzales.
st. Louis got RUDE into hole in .hc
ha
but Gonzales was unable to produce a
hit, and there was no scoring in that
frame. Smith was easy for the St.
Louis batters in the eighth.
Bethel, first man at bat in that frame,
lined one over Burns's head for two
bases, but was nipped at third when
he attempted to stretch the hit into a
triple, Burns and Fletcher making a
fast relay to Heyzog. Steele was out
on a tap to Merkle, but Long tripled
to right. Smith got two strikes on
Snyder and then let go a wild pitch.
Snyder missed a swing at it, and Long
tailed while Snyder reached second.
There was no further scoring, as Besch-
er was an easy victim on a roller to
Smith
!, Kelly, pinch hitting for Benton in
the eighth, dropped a single to right
and got as far as third on Kauff's
single. There were two out at the
hitting to Hornsby, who forced Kauff
at second with toss to Miller. Burns
singled with one out in the ninth,
and, after Doyle flied to Wilson, was
allowed to steal second and third un-
molested, with Fletcher at the bat.
Fletcher grounded to Bethel, ending
the game.

EBBETS NAY SECURE
HEINIE ZIMMERMAN

Chicago, Aug. 20.-Unless some I'M
foreseen circumstance arises. Henie
Zimmerman will become a member Of
the Brooklyn Robins before the team
hikes for Cincinnati, on Thursday. 1t
was said here by a man who is close to
Charley Weeghman that the deal is
practically settled and only a question
of money stands in the path. Squire
Ebbets and Wilbert Robinson were in
conference with Charley Weeghman
this morning, but would make no state
ment of the possible deal.
1t Is said that Gus Getz. Ollie O'Nara,
pitcher and big bundle of cash
would be offered by the Brooklyn club.
It is believed that the players are ac-
ceptable, for Bill Workman. the 100000
star, has fizzled and is not hitting much
more than he weighs. His fielding is
pretty nifty, but it takes the old wal
lop to win ball games. Zimmerman
would mean a pennant to Brooklyn,
and Ebbets probably will 20 through
with the deal.
