The time has arrived at last when we
can begin TO get down to real COMPARE
sons. The elimination of the clubs that
have been battling so royalty for the
pennants has arrived. and. as we come
TO the man-against-man figures, we
have a better chance to see the
strengths and the weaknesses Of the
teams In their various positions.
One Of the striking things in baseball
for many years has been that the Ma
tional League appears to be able to find
competent and even star first basemen
any time a club needs one. white the
American League teams have more
trouble with that position than with any
other. With the exception OF Pittsburgh.
the National League clubs get stars
readily. while some American League
outfits have struggled along for years

BROOKLYN IS READY
FOR SUPREME TEST
PhiIIles Engage Dodgers on
Home Grounds in Crucial
Series Today.

NEW YORK. Sept. 2s.-The supreme
test of season will be applied to the
Brooklyn Dodgers this afternoon.
With a day OF under their belts and
with every man In condition to play the
game OF his life. the Phillies will meet
the Dodgers in the first OF three-game
series which probably will decide the
National League championship.
The standing today found Brooklyn
leading the league by a game and half
over the Phils. They added half a game
to their weak hold by winning on the
day dedicated to the laying OF ghosts by
Charles Ebbets and Joe Tinker.

II the bride Is one Of those who
likes to be conservative In the styles
selected for her gown and veil she
may wear the veil as shown in the
picture. The wreath Is arranged in
The fashion of G coronet and the veil
envelOps the figure. Other styles
may come and 60. but this one goes
on forever. Perhaps that Is because
the wreath suggests a crown and be-
cause the arrangement of 1t is almQ3t
universally becoming.
For the bride who decides that
something new suits her personality
better. or is better suited to the sort
Of wedding she elects to have, there
are many piquant and novel ways for
mounting the wedding veil. In nearly
al of them little caps Of lace support
the tulle, but there are caps Of tuIle
caps of pearl beads, or even hats Of
tulle, from which the veil, always am
pie, floats about the figure. One of
the prettiest drapes has a little close
fitting cap Of fine lace like a "Baby
Stuart" cap. The veil is draped over
this so that a short length of it falls
over the face barely reaching to the
chin. It is caught to the lace cap at
each side by small sprays Of orange
blossoms and there is slender half

wretched and terrified man. The 20
lice had q strong case against him He
was arrested just as he was leaving
the corpse, and he had the sheath of
dagger or stfletto in his pocket. But
as the case wore on II became ap-
parent that the evidence wasn't con-
elusive enough, and there was prob
ability that the accused would be &C
quilted.
Then this marvellous Judge Cambo
used every endeavor to make the
baker confess the crime. He threat
ened and entreated, but the accused
persisted In declaring his innocence.
So Judge Cambo ordered him to the
torture and he was stretched upon the
rack. For q time he stuck to his claim
of innocence, but when the agony be-
came intolerable he confessed to the
crime which he had never committed.
and Judge Cambo looked on. calm and
inscrutable, and wrote down the
racked mans confession as It came
from his blood-flecked lips. Surely
there never was q more Jealous public
official than Judge Cambo!
The Judge was now quite satisfied.
The prisoner had been proved guilty
nothing further to do except to sen.
tence the man to death, which the
Judge did with much feeling, rebuking
him mildly for trying to obstruct the
course Of Justice by refusing to con.
fess. So the unfortunate baker was

ering day and done to death by the ex.
ecutioner.
He was buried down by the sea. near
where st. PAul was shipwrecked once
upon q time, and the grass grew over
him. and his memory became dim in
the haunts OF men. The years passed
on. and Judge Cambo often sat by his
window and gazed at the sleeping
town. and II ghosts troubled him he
gave no sign. The whole island ad
mired and reverenced him as a saint
like man. who respected the law above
all things except religion. The Judge
was growing old among his honorl
and dignities when an untoward thing
happened.
In another part of the island q man
was tried and convicted Of q capital
crime. and when he saw that doom wal
written against his name he made
full confession OF various evil things
he had done In his sinful career
Among other things, he confessed that

self.
So Judge Cambo sat at his window,
in the soft Mediterranean night, and as
he looked into the street beneath him
he saw one man stab another. The
wounded man, who had been flying for
his life. reeled and fell. At this mo-
ment the murderer's cap fell of, and
his face was fully exposed to the
judge. The Judge and the assassin
stared at each other for a moment,
and then the latter replaced his cap,
threw away the sheath Of his knife
and ran. The learned jurist sat at his
window, gazing calmly at the dead
man. An ordinary man might have
raised an alarm, but the Judge did
nothing. It is possible that he was rak-
ing through his mind for a law that
would fit the case.
The night wore on and morning was
approaching, and the Judge remained
at his window. Then a baker came
into the street, carrying his loaves for
distribution. Presently the baker be-
held the corpse, and stood hooking at

examined 1t and put It in his pocket.
Then panic overlook him and he ran,
but just at that moment policemen
came around the corner and seized
him. The unfortunate baker was led
away to prison and the Judge, calm
and serene, lay down for few lines
of slumber.
In due season the baker was brought
up for trial in the criminal court, and
