Tho "Discourses Of Epictetus" were
written not by the philosopher himself.

Great Arrian tells M that he took
down tho sayings OF his master at the

may rely upon the substantial correct

The race in the Commercial league
is becoming warmer each week and
as there are approximately five games
to be played by each team before the
season closes, the race for the pen
nant promises to be more closely con-
tested than in any previous year.
kellogg Birge Co. and Irwin-Philips
Co. have been battling for first place
throughout the season. These teams
have two games to play off and the
outcome Of the league rests largely
on the outcome. Huiskamps' have
strengthened their team and must be
reckoned with. They have been
winning their games with surprising
regularity and give promise of taking
down some OF the "top-notchers" be-
fore the close of the season.
In last Saturdays games two Of the
teams were unfortunate in not being
able to get enough men on the field
and had to forfeit their games. These
teams were the Electrics and the Y.
NJ. C. A. Huiskamps and Hamills

SEVEN TEAMS IN RACE
All But Connie Maek's Defeated
Athletics Have Show, But the
Fight viii be Between
tho Leaders.

NEW. YORK, Aug. Although
seven American league teams still
are in the pennant race, the series
which starts today in Chicago, where
the White and Red Sox hook up,
promises to have an important eff
feet on the final outcome.
Leading by bare three. points,
Rowlands' Sox will play the hosts to
the Carrigans in a four day battle
of giants. While the Yanks, their
losing streak shattered at last, are
fighting the rejuvenated Indians VINO
have Speaker and Morton again in
action, Washington will try to stop
the ,hurtling upward rush OF the
Browns.
Detroit will play Philadelphia.
Connie Mack's men are today near
a worlds record for consecutive de-
feats. Eighteen straight games have
been dropped by the shattered Ath-
letics. Yesterday Connie in an eff
fort to break the string, sent his three
best twirlers into the game with
Cleveland, each to work three in
nings at top speed Majors got
through his three, but Bush and
Myers were slaughtered.
The past week marked the turning
point in the widest American league
race in history. Donovan's Yanks,
though crippled almost beyond recog-
milton, held tenaciously to the top
until series of defeats sent them
tumbling; today they are in the first
division by scant game.
Brooklyn not only held, but improV-
ed its National league lead. The
Dodgers took seven straight games.
Boston went into second place.
The rush of the Browns in the
American came to an end when the
Red Sox squeezed out victory. But
fourteen straight wins got for Fielder
Jones the respect of every other
American league manager. The White
Sox had an even better showing for
the week, clambering to the top by
winning eight out of nine games.
New York and Philadelphia each
failed to win single game. Comics
men dropped nine during the week.
The Yanks broke their losing streak
when they beat Detroit yesterday.
Brooklyn was the only team in the
National aggregation which made :,r
unusual showing, the Dodgers win
ming seven and losing one.
The Reds, under the new leader,
Mathewson, dropped eight out Of
nine. The home teams were almost
universally successful in each league,
the fasteners taking twenty-three
out of thirty-one at home in the Ma
tional and the Western clubs in the
American capturing twenty-three and
losing eight.
