IMPORTANT SERIES
IS STARTED TO-DAY

New York. Sept 2s. The most i'm
portant series of the 1915 pennant race
in the National league was here TODAY
when the Phillies and Dodgers took
the field at Charley Ebbets park in
Brooklyn.
Experts concede that the outcome of
these three games will just about de-
eide the flag winner in the National
league. although Immediately follow
ing the series here the Phiilies return
to their home grounds for test
against the Braves.
1t was lucky break for the Robins
that the Phillies drew an open date
Wednesday as the former were able to
gain ground on them by virtue of the
2 to 0 victory of the Bruins. Tonight
the Dodgers own game and a half
lead over the Phillies and in order to
gain the lead in the race the charges
of Moran must take all three games.
Two Of the three games for the Phil
lies will not change the standing OF
the two teams. although they will les.
sen the distance Moran will have tc
go to reach the top.

LOCAL MANS VIEWS.

The Republican candidate and many
Of his followers, especially those who
are trying to bring about change Il
administration that they may have a
chance at the pie counter, are finding
fault with President Wilson on his
Mexican policy. Is 1t because he failed
to declare war on Mexico? They do not
say. but are just finding fault. That 4
all they say. To find fault with the
President for what he has done must
be construed to say he should have de
clared war and whipped Mexico or II
means nothing. 1t is easy to find fault
but 1t is often very hard to suggest a
better way than the other fellow used
Republican leaders. why don: you
tell the people what your man HuEhe-
would have done il he had been res
ident? If Mr. Wilson had declared war
on Mexico, we would be in the midst
of that war now; would have spent n
hundred million dollars, left $4,000 Of
our American boys on the pacched
plains Of that country for what? What
would we have gained? Do we want or
need an acre of their territory? No!
Just to say that we could whip our SIR
ter Republic? Who was it that said
war is He'll" ASK the old soldier what
is war. He will tell you war is hell,
doubled and twisted II this liz so, why
shouldn't every American say, God
bless our President for keeping us out
of war with all its terrors,' when It
is not necessary Go to the mothers and
wives of this country and ask them
il they are for war
