Phillies in Lead;
One Point to Spare

The Phillies are in first place all
by themselves. Although they did
not play in Boston yesterday on ac-
count of rain. Brooklyn, which was
tied with the Moranmen for the
lead, split a double-header with
the Giants and thereby dropped
one point In the standing. The

In the seventh inning yesterday
Helfrick retired the side on four
pitched balls.
Layden was chasing them in center.
Tom Downey is some boy at third,
notwithstanding his Charley Horse.
Harrison had little to do yesterday.
Mills is always on the move. He is
one of the hardest and most consci-

Elliott has no need to worry over
his record this season. He has been
hitting the ball and fielding like a

Athletics Lose One More;
One Hundredth Defeat

Philadelphia Sept. I. - Boston took
the third game or the series from the
Mackmen yesterday. and it was well
that the champions won, for Detroit
tripped the Browns in a ter-inning
game. and the Red Sox still lead the
American League race by one full
game. The score of yesterdays tilt
was to 2.
Dutch Leonard who recently hurled
n no-hit no-run game, had the Mack
ties at his mercy, but he was nicked
safely seven times by the tailenders
for a total of thirteen bases.
Tom Sheehan was opposed to the
worlds champions. and he was touch
ed up at lively gait. especially in the
third inning. when three runs were
scored off him. 1t was the onc-hun-
dredth loss for the MacSmen.

RUSSIA WANTS GENEROUS
CREDITS FROM ENGLAND
Urges Ally to Consider Keenness OF
American Appetite for This
Great Market.

LONDON. August l.-Picrre l.. f:ark
Russian Minister of Finance. in an in
terview with the Morning Posts finan-
cial editor, estimates Russia's present
war expenditure at about flo0,ooo,oGo
monthly Discussing the adyisability
OF the British keeping Russian eN-
change on London at the most stable
possible figure. by granting RUSSIA
generous credits, NJ. Bark urges Eng
land To consider the keenness of tho
American appetite for the Russian
market.
1T is Of the greatest Importance"
said VI Bark, that everything posi-
lions between Russia and Great Brit
ain at d moment when the United
States Is keenly alive TO possibilities
IN that direction. Eneland's hope of
increased trade relations with Russia
after the war is Endorsed by the RUS
SLAMS. but if those results are TO fol-
low after the war, il is OF the utmost
Importance. that there should not be
any deadlock supervening between
now and the time Of peace. with vio-
l-n< fluctuations. in exchange after
wards. A. this juncture large credits
should be granted Russia. which Skill
fully handled. would commence here
a new growth in business relations
which would be thu best preparation
for active operations when peace ar
yIyes.
Asked concerning tho commercial
situation after the war, NJ. Bark said:
''Fina nciel recuperation after the
war Will depend largely upon the ex
tent 10 which tho forces of pToduc-
ton are put into fun operation. in
this direction the part 20 be played by
banking institutions throughout the
world viii be OF supreme importance.
IN no country can this be truer than
in Russia. where the rapid exporta-
lion Of our vast resource. must depend
largely upon the rapio!ty with which
railroad and other transport facilities
expend. Here Is the bankers oppor
tunity.'
The interviewer remarked that the
requirements OF Russian law possibly
might prevent foreign bankers and
capitalists from venturing heavily Into
Russia. TO this NJ. Bark replied:
The requirements OF Russian Law
have never prevented the est4blish-
rnent of important branches Of the
largest French institutions. Respon-
sihle institutions may always be sure
OF most cordial reception in Russia"
