By organizing Woodrow Will
son Non-partisan League" the Dem
ocratic campaign managers have
practically given their endorsement
to the idea that if any Democrat is
disguised with the Wilson policies
he should be bipartisan enough to
vote some other ticket. And there
will be several hundred thousand
who will do It, This is year when
the non-partisan vote will be cast
for America First. The man who
helped throw our markets open to
the foreign producer, without low
ering the cost of living in this coun-
try, is not going to get the approval
of the independent voter.

1--WE appeal to the American peo-
pie to support us in our demand for
a tariff for revenue only" That was
the declaration of the Democratic
Underwood, the authors of the act
passed as a result of the election of
1912 still assert that the tariff-for-
revenue-only law is the best this
country has ever had. What will the
Democratic platform of 1916 have
to say on the subject, and with how
platform in 1912. Simmons and
much sincerity will the platform
pledge be fulfilled?

WILSON PARTIsANSHIP

President Wilson's publicity bu-
reau says that Patriotism under
Mr.. Wilson has replaced the old
spirit of partisanship." But when
and how? In his Indianapolis speech
more than a year ago, Wilson made
an intensely partisan speech, though
posing as the president of all the
people, and asserted that the Re-
publican party has not had a new
idea for thirty years, although all
the constructive legislation for thir-
ty years had been enacted by Repub-
lican administrations. In his recent
speech in North Carolina, Wilson
said that the Republicans are
backward looking people. He has
lost no opportunity to assail the
intelligence of the Republicans. He
has filled the appointive offices
with Democrats, and when he did
not then have places enough to go
around, he set aside the provisions
of the civil service law and placed
Democrats in office by executive
order over the protest of the civil
service commission. He threw out
of office men who had grown up in
the foreign diplomatic service, in
order to give the places to deserv-
ing Democrats with neither exper-
fence nor special fitness for the Of
fices.
If patriotism has replaced parti-
sanship in the Wilson administra
ton, please tell us when and where
and how.

Perhaps those Arizona militia
men who refused to go to Mexico
don't like the idea Of being used as
targets for the American bullets
which President Wilson permitted
to be shipped into Mexico. While
President Wilson is ordering the
court marital proceedings, it might
be well for him to consider the ex-
tenuating circumstances.

who said that the jury could have

SPEAKER AND CHASE ALMOST

Weeks Records Indicate Ty Cobb Will Take

Chicago. Sept. 30-It looks as though Hal Chase and Iris Speaker would carry off big league batting championships this year. With the season to end next week, Chase is four points ahead of his nearest com petitor. McCarty. of the Giants, in the National and Speaker is a good 30 points ahead of Cobb in the American.
 Chase has been playing a great game for Cincinnati. Records printed here today, including the perform ances of last Wednesday. show Ns total bases number 241, giving him place in the league second only to Wheat of Brooklyn, who is credited with 259. Chase has stolen 20 bases.
 The Nationals base stealing honors seem destined again to go to Max Ca rey, Pittsburgh, who is leading with 5S. F1ack, Chicago, is ahead in sacri- flee hits with 36; Williams, Chicago, in home runs with 12: Burns, New York, in runs scored with 99 and Brooklyn in team hitting with .261. Leading batters:

Ray Heating Against
 Tanks In New Haven
 Ball Game Tomorrow

New Haven will be the scene of another good baseball attraction on Sunday afternoon when the New York Americans. led by Wild Bill Donovan, invade that city to battle the Colon ials. Manager Donovan has promised to bring along his regular team in- tact.
 Included in the Yankees array will be Frank Baker, the hero of the 1911 worlds series; Roger Peckinpaugh, the former New Haven captain; Lee Magee, the ex-Federal league star; Walter Pipp, the leading home run hitter of the American league, and Lefty High, who led the old Con necticut league batters while mem- Der of the Hartford team several years ago.
 Manager Weiss of the Colonials has engaged the services of Pitcher Ray Heating for Sundays battle. Heating was recently cast adrift by the Yankees and is anxious to get the op- portunity to show up his old pals. Heating finished the season with the Richmond club of the International league where he made a most credita- b1e record.
 Sundays game will start at 3:15 o'clock, The contest will take place at Lighthouse Point.

SAYS EbbETS
 DID NOT RAISE
 PRICE OF SEATS

New York, Sept. 30.-John K. Tener, president of the National league, was asked yesterday to. state officially who determined the prices for the Worlds s Series games in Brooklyn if the Robins win the National league champion ship.
 ''The Brooklyn management has been unjustly criticised" said Presi- dent Tener, flor something in which it had absolutely no voice. ( ''At the meeting to determine drafts in Cincinnati on Sept. IS the National commission arranged tentative schedule and decided upon prices for Worlds Series games in three pen nant contending cities in both the Ma tional and American leagues.
 ''The prices that have been an- nounced in Brooklyn were determined by the National commission at that meeting.
 "The commission allowed some lati- tude 10 the Brooklyn and Detroit clubs in the matter of $5 seats because of their limited grand stand and box seat capacity and from the added fact that all seats listed at s5 in each park were as choice in location as regular box reservations.
 "This consideration and allowance also was made in other parks of the same character in previous Worlds Series games"

Even By Winning All Remaining Games Me Graw Could Hardly Do It.

from Philadelphia, would have a. total of 90 won, 62 lost; Philadelphia, win ming two from Brooklyn, and losing Six to Boston. would finish with go won. 63 lost: the Giants by winning Brooklyn would have a total of 90 won, 62 lost. throwing them into a tie with Boston. Had the Braves been beaten yesterday that would have been put almost out of the running. As it is, their chance of winning six straight from Phillies is so slim as to be scarcely worth considering. The postponing of the game between Phil adelphia and Brooklyn yesterday will have no material bearing on the race.
 In the figures which give the Giants a chance to tie for the pennant, every thing, including past performances, present form, etc, is entirely over looked. That the team can go through it's six remaining games without losing is quitep ossible. But it would be all most miraculous if Boston. could take six straight from Philadelphia, and this event must take place for the Giants to have even the slightest chance.
 A combination which is as likely as any other to materialize is this, which would give Philadelphia. the pennant:
 Philadelphia win two from Brook lyn and two from Boston, giving it a seasons total of 92-61; Brooklyn lose two to Philadelphia and win dne from New York, giving it a total of 91-63; Boston lost two to New York andNtake four from Philadelphia, giving it a ototal. of 88-84; New York win two from Boston and lose one to Brook lyn, giving it total of 89-63 and third place

BOB SHAWKEY HAS z IMPROVED SINCE
 HE GAVE UP AUTO.

New York, Sept. 30-If indulgence in his pet "vice" has done wonders for Speaker, attention from his favor ite recreation has done almost as much for Bob Shawkey, the bright particular star of Bill Donovan's s hurling corps. During the last couple of years of his connection with the Philadelphia Athletics Shawkey was addicted to the automobile habit in it's most virulent form.
 He was never quite so happy as when he had the wheel of a fast car tucked in, under his chin, and he let pass no, opportunity to indulge his craving for speed. Last winter the thought came to him that the nervous strain attendant upon fast driving might not be the best thing in the world for a pitchers arm.
 This season he has done little or no driving. Instead of bringing his ma chine to New York last spring he left it. in Philadelphia. He has ridden in it less than a dozen times in seven months. Perhaps on this account Shawkey is now approaching tile close of the most successful season. he has ever enjoyed. He has won 22 games, and with any sort of luck would prob ably have added at least six more to his record. He has A better curve ball than he ever showed during the auto mobile driving years of his servitude under Connie Mack and far better control

RED SOx NEED
 ONLY 2 MORE
 GAMES TO WIN

Boston, Sept. 30-Babe Ruth, Bill ! Carrigan's youthful and useful left handler, held the New York Yankees fin the palm of his hand yesterday af- ternoon at Fenway Park, while the worlds champion Red Sox punched their hits off ShRwkey, and, aided by an error, scored three runs in the second inning.
 "A This was alf the scoring of the day, ss the visitors failed to cross the plate od Ruth, while Shawkey was prac- tically invincible after tn efatal sec ond inning. As the result of the tri- umph, the Red Sox are one game nearer to the American league pen nant. sz ytiH s

Even if Detroit wins the two games that it still has to play, and the Red Sox lose all of theirs the Boston team would still be in front. One defeat will also eliminate the White Sox.
 Only twice during the skirmish did the Yankees have Ruth in trouble. In the. third inning Janvrin made rer mafkable stop on Pipp's grounder and threw him out. Baker walked and Miller was safe on Janvrin,s fum- ble. Gedeon singled to left and a great throw by Duffy Lewis to Thom- al nailed Bakey at the plate.

 { Larry Gardner, the veteran third base,nAn of the Red Sox, started Shawkey on the way to defeat in the second. ', Larry doubled down the third base line. Scott beat out his hunt down the first base line. Shaw Key caught the. shortstop fiat-footed of the bag, but Pipp dropped his throw and Gardner tallied. while Scott moved up to second. Thomas walked.
