Robins Back on Top
in Race for Pennant
The Robins Roost.

Percy D. Hsughton, president OF the
Braves, was one of the nrst spectators
20 90 down on the field after the game.
He sought Wilbert Robinson out OF the
crowd and congratulated him upon the
victory of his team. "lf the Braves
cannot win the pennant." said
Haughton, IL hope that Brooklyn Will.
You have a good team. Mr.. Robinson,
and you deserve credit for the game
fight you have made for the pennant."
Joe Lannin. owner OF the Red Sox,
was the guest of Mr.. Hsughton, and he
too congratulated Robbie on the VIC
tory Of the Robins. 81 hope my team
meets you in October said Lannln.
A bowling wind swept off the Charles
River to-day and made the judging OF
fy balls difficult. At times the wind
approached the speed of Jake Daubert
as the leader of the Robins dashed
around the bases in the first inning.
The Braves have lost ten Of the last
twelve games, and have dropped the
last seven in a row. Stallings is at his
wits end with Hughes, Nehf and Allen
on the hospital list.
II was Jack Kelleher's day in Boston
to-day. Before the game the young
shortstop of the Robins was called TO
the plate. and after listening to Tim
Murnane expostulate upon the glories
of baseball. ancient and modern, some
of Jacks Brookline friends presented
him with a gold watch suitably en-
graved. There was much regret that
Jack did not start the game, but all
Brookline rooted for the Robins just
the same.

If the Giants infeld holds out there
is no reason why the Robins should not
win the pennant now.

Top of Their Game.

The eighth inning saw the Robins
at the top Of their game. and three
hits. including a rousing triple by Ivy
Olson, produced three runs. In the
ninth inning. with Jess Barnes in the
box. the Robins got another run on
StengePs triple and single by Buck
Wheat.
The fiery Casey Stengel directed the
offensive of the Robins, and he proved
himself a capable and trustworthy
leader. The Kansas City Teuton got
double, single. pass and a triple
in order and scored two runs. Cut

stood in with timely wallops, and. Of

but it came with Stengel on third
and tailed a run.

Old-Time Rally.

On the other hand, the Robins made
their openings and, coming along win
one of those rallies which have been
characteristic of the team throughout
the early stages Of the season. they
made certain an issue which had been
practically settled in the first inning
by grouping three TALES in the eighth
frame.
The good right arm Of Larry Cheney
was used to push the Robins back into
their old home, and be 1t said that the
brawny kansan pitched beautiful
game. lie was another cause for Jublla-
ton by Brooklyn fans, for he came
back out of a slump and followed the
good example set by jeff Prefer yes
terday.
Larry allowed three hits, just 10
show that he is a good fellow at heart.
but one of them was really a gift Of
the official scorer, for Olson should
have thrown out Gowdy by the pro-
verbal mile in the third inning. In
stead, Ivy elected to throw wide and
Daubert had to step off the bag to
make a catch.
In the eighth inning Snodgrass got
the first clean hit of the game-a sim
gle to right. In the ninth Gowdy
smote a blow 10 the same field. Only
four men advanced as far as second
base and only one man got to third.
Surely there was not much raw ma
teral furnished for the production OF
runs.
The attack Of the Robins was by
far stronger and much more produc-
tive. Ed Reulbach held them away
from the plate after the first inning,
when an error by the obligng Fred
Snodgrass converted single by Jake
Daubert into home run, but IN the
seventh he weakened, and, while he
managed to back away from disaster,
he merely delayed the Judgment
which later was meted out TO him.

Robins stormed and captured first place
on Braves Field here this afternoon,
routing the forces of George I. Stall
lings for the third consecutive time
and marching into the stronghold
evacuated before the advance Of the
Pnillies less than week ago.
The assistance of the New YORK
Giants was invaluable TO the Robins,
for Robbies allies in the great metrop-

both games on the Polo Grounds in
New York. Brooklyn holds a lead OF
one and a half games, and :he glory
OF il all is the team is back in it's

again. The score to-day was 3 to o.
Boston, deep in a slump that has
endured through two weeks, during
which time ten out of twelve games
have been lost vas outmatched at
every point The Braves were unable
TO break through the Brooklyn defence,
and the pitching of Larry Cheney was
by far too effective for them to start
an offensive which even threatened to
make any trouble.

Boys Who Sought to Deliver
Papers.-ROss Threatened

Brownsville is never behind the ex-
citement in anything; and the talk of
the threatened great railroad strike
fired the patriotic souls of the news
boys union, and in their enthusiasm to
make Brownsville a red spot on the
map they pulled stunt Monday which
they have been threatening for some
time.
B. W. Ross, who runs news agency
here, refused to meet the demands of
the news boys and they not only quit
their beats, but undertook to prevent
other boys from delivering papers in
their stead. Ross was given orders
not to attempt to deliver papers until
the demands of the strikers were
met. When, however he started other
carriers out, despite the warning, they
received rough handling, and several
of them were driven from their routes
by the strikers. There were no Sc
rious personal injuries received, how
ever.
Tuesday morning Ross had several
of the strikers arrested and when tried
in the police court, they were adjudg-
ed guilty by Recorder Carlton and fin

The committee appointed to sell the

They paid for the $4,000 bonds $780,

speaks well for the financial standing
of our city.
It is understood that the street COM

1t is very much to be hoped that
work on the square and adjacent

QUACKs AND SUCKERS.

The following appropriate poem is
from the bulletin of the North Caroli-
ma Board of Health:
There was a quack doctor lived back
in the hills
Who used two concoctions to cure hui
man ills;
One was a physic-"the best in ere
ation"-
The other would fix any old "consti-
pation"-
One he called "Tweedledum," one
'Tweedledee,"
Both made of the bark of the same
bloomin' tree;
He skinned the bark upward to make
"Tweedledum,"
And to make ''Tweedledee" he skinned
downward, by. gum.
And the people, whenever they got
sick abed,
Swallowed which ever quack doctor
said.
For the people are easy and grafters
are slick,
And more suckers wear breeches than
swim in the creek.

BRYAN TO SEEK SEAT INap
UNITED STATES SENATE
Friend Says He'll Desert Lincoln, ,Neb.,
For Asheville, N. C., to Gain
Election

The report is William Jennings Bry-
an is to leave Nebraska finally after
the election in November. He is to
move to his home at Asheville, N. c.,
and reenter politics in that state with
the idea of being elected to the United
States senate.
This report was brought to Wash
ington several days ago by Nebras-
kan, who claims personal knowledge
of the plans of Mr.. Bryan. It caused
something of a furry among North
Carolina politicians here, because they
have no senatorship to hand over to
him without the displacement Of fa-
vorite son of the state.
Since his defeat asst spring for del
egate at large to the democratic ma
tional convention, Mr.. Bryan has been
considering the matte rof quitting Me-
braska for new fields. He realizes his
popularits.-ie-sN Nebraska was killed
when he left the Nebraska delegates
at the Baltimore convention in 1912.
The state had pledged for Champ
Clark and Bryan worked for Mr.. Viii.
son.
He has farms in three states-North
Carolina, Texas and Florida. He has
shown a preference for the North
Carolina climate.
1t is reported therefore, that he is
to move from his preset home in Fair
view, Lincoln, Neb., and 90 to Ashe-
vile, N. c., to take up a permanent
residence. He will remain in Lincoln
until after the election this fall.
Just how North Carolina will take
Mr.. Bryan's move cannot be leaerned.
Representative Claude Kitchin, the
democratic house leader, is a close po-
litical friend, but Senators Simmons
and 0verman have not been followers
Of the Bryan standard for some years.

A woMAN's INFLUENCE.

King Constantine of Greece is said
to have favored the Teutonic powers
because he is brother-in-law to the
Kaiser. Yet he is no blood kin to the
Kaiser, and King George of England
and the Gar are both his first cousins
He was brought up in the intimate
companionship of Nicholas. But then,
there is Queen Sophia. She is not
clothed with any actual authority. She
has no right to vote, but there has been
Ia general suspicion that she kept her
husband and the country he rules in
ssas taa lsr b1aslh tha q e. "a Err.
peror, despite the influence and riaeh-
nations Of former Prime Minister
Venezuelos.
Certainly there has been some in
fiuence with the king and the country
that was potent to this end.
King Constantine is a grand son OF
King Christian TX of Denmark. He is
son of the late King George, Danish
prince, whom the national assembly
of Greece elected president of that
country in 1858.
The Danish royal family personally
has no reason to feel friendly to the
Hohenzollerns, in so far as the history
of the two families is concerned, nor
their country to the central powers.
In the early sixties, Prussia and Aus
tria combined to take from Denmark
the provinces of Schleswig-H -Holstein
that were the special patrimony of
King Christian. He had been Sshles-
wig-Holstein prince before he came to
the throne of Denmark. It was by a
treaty signed in London in 1852, in
which British influence was paramount
that the succession to the Danish
crown was fixed in the Sshleswig-Hol
stein family. One of King Christoan's
daughters was married to Edward
VII of England, and the other to Al
exander III of Russia. One was the
present Dowager Queen Alexandria
of England, the other the dowager
Czarina of Russia, Dagmar. Both
still live. One 81 the mother of
King George II of England, the other
the mother Of the present Gar Mich
olasII. Both are aunts to King Con-
stantine Of Greece, the sisters Of his
father.
It is not, therefore, kinship or fami-
ly relations that has influenced King
Constantine against the entente cause.
He either acted in accordance with
what he thought was the best interest
of Greece, or the story Of his wife's in
fiuence is true.-Nashville Banner.
