CLARK GRIFFITH,
OF the Nationals, Who Says Race Is
Closest in History Of Game.
CHRISTY MATTHEWSON,
OF the Reds, Who Picks Giants as
Long As His Team Can't Win.

the injuries to no less than six OF Dono-
vans best men. the Yankees should be
breesing out In front by eight or ten
games now. Donovan was not only un-
ers all at once. but doubly unfortunate
In that all Of them were severely Grip
pied. II Baker, Magee. and High were
now able to get into the game as ply
sically Mt as when forced out. New
York's chance would be much brighter
than that OF any other club. Every ad-
diuonal day Of delay dims the golden
opportunity.
They talk of the great pitching stafrs
Of Chicago and Boston. Well. I think
Donovan has the best pitchers in either
league. His bunch of cripples were
never shown up In any one of the nine
straight games lost to the Browns and
Tigers. In every single one New York
had the better pitching. With Cullop
recovered and Shocker recalled from
Toronto. this stafr Is even more formId-
able than ever. even without Caldwell.
Should this irresponsible star profit by
discipline Donovan can be sure OF gilt
edged pitching In every remaining in
ming. for he will have enough reserve
strength to keep two or three depend
ables warmed UP all the time-my
favorite practice.
No Faltering Here.
need not dwell at length on the
capabilities Of Chicago and Boston.
Both of these clubs are made up of
seasoned veterans who are not likely
to falter. Both have strong pitching.
Chicago has the more aggressive attack,
the better balanced bunch of sluggers.
But I think this slight advantage Is
offset In a shade the better pitching
for the Red Sox. Largely because of
the super-human efforts Of iris Speaker.
the Cleveland club has hung on dog
gedly without the series Of pitcher Guy
Morton through two trying months.
Morton once more Is ready to take
his turn. II he Is anywhere near the
pitcher he was Cleveland need ask no
odds of any rival.
It's great race, this American
League struggle of 1916. and a pleas
ure and an honor to the seven clubs
concerned. It's just about as vague.
though. as It was the night Of April II
last. whichever team wins will know
II has been In a real fight May the
best club take the flag.

Rain Knocks Out Trip
After Two New Players

BOSTON, Aug. 18.-Manager
Grifith's plans went awry to-
day when he awoke to find 1t
raining smartly and giving no
Indication Of clearing. He had
intended taking a hop down to
Providence, R. l., to watch two
players in action, an infelder
and an outfielder. Montreal
and Providence are scheduled
for a game today and Grif
thought he might have a good
chance to see what these play

pected to interfere with tomor-

Mrs. Ward Dies
From Her Injuries

AS we go to press WORD reach
es US of the death this morning
of Mrs. Maude Allen Ward,
daughter OF Mr.. and Mrs. Will
lam Allen Of Arvada and sister
of Mrs. Hiram Brown and Chas.
Allen, who is now in California.
Full particulars are meager, but
her death came as the result of
an automobile accident which
happened Sunday near Lafayette,
in which the car Mrs. Ward was
driving. in company with several
Others, turned over on a narrow
road. Her injuries were not
considered serious and yesterday
she was thought to be getting a
long nicely, but she suffered a
relapse this morning and passed
away. Mrs. Ward was a most
charming personality and had a
legion of friends who are great
ly shocked at the sad news.
Much sympathy is expressed for
her aged parents and entire fam
lily. Full particulars next week.

School Building is I
Again Voted On

The meeting at the school
house was attended by about
forty persons, nearly all taXpay-
ers of considerable Importance.
President Minges called the
meeting to order and threw it
open for general discussion ON
ways and means to better school
conditions. Prof. Drake was
called upon to tell the "old, old
story" of how as many as fifty
five or sixty pupils are crowded
into one room, and how they are
compelled to use a part of the
basement for recitation rooms
etc, which keeps a constan;
stream of pupils climbing or de-
scending the stairs to the con-
fusion of the pupils in their study
rooms and in the class rooms
upstairs.
A general discussion followed
which resulted in a motion which
carried, instructing the scnool
board to procure plans for both
a high school building and also a
four room addition to the present
high school and to report at a
meeting to be held at the call Of
the president soon. when one or
the other building will be decid-
ed upon. While the vote was
not unanimous, yet the general
opinion was that something
must be done to relieve the con-
dition.
The matter of outstanding
warrants and reducing them by
increasing the special levy was
discussed and it seemed to be
the feeling that this should be
done. ..M.,,4
