lis. His birthplace was given as DeXt-

relieve until you realize that physicians
agree that 95 per cent of human all

TODAY'S CANE MAY
DECIDE NATIONAL RACE
(By Il. G. ITamiltonl

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
New York, Sept. E4.-Today opens
the last full week of major league base
ball, with the Giants still waiting to
cinch the National league pennant. Vic
tory today by the leaders or loss by
the Phillies would end the race. The
Giants are scheduled at st. Louis and
the Phillies at Pittsburgh
The White Sox finish their Boston en-
gagement today, probably with another
second string lineup in play. They have
another series to play in Washington
and then they come TO New York to
play their final series of the season.
They will be ready to begin their
rest preliminary to the world series
after a game with the Yankees a week
from today.
With the National league pennant
still flapping free, John MeGraw is
confronted with the necessity of throw
ing his best forces into the battle every
day. And every day that passes this
way makes his world series task that
much harder. Charley Herzog is resting
and undoubtedly will be in better con-
dition when the big games start than
if he had played continuously. But
Heinie Zimmerman is suffering from
sore arm and has a nest of boils. He
needs rest. Benny Kauff is harboring
some strained muscles and could stand
lay-off. Artie Fletcher also needs a
rest.
Aside from the men, the pitching
staff has been worked hard. If McGraw
could rest his big quaftet-Benton, Sal
lee, Schupp and Perritt-their chances
would grow stronger.
