down by the National commission.
no team that lost the first two games
ever won the series. In FIVE of the
last twelve worlds series the winner
captured the first two games.
Again, should New York win the
third game, the records would still
be against the Giants, for in the
last twelve years no team that has
captured only one OF the first three
games decided, ever won the cham
pionship. New York fans, however,
bank on the uncertainty of the game
and feel this is just as good a year
to upset the law of averages as any
other.
Chicago Pitchers Better.
Aside from the games won, Chica-
go has decided advantage in the
pitching. Rowland's men have now

Cicotte and Faber came through
with victories. Neither was hit very
hard and both now have the con-

may decide to pitch these two men
again before taking chance on
Russell or on one of his other

New York fans, however, do not
believe Cicotte and Faber can dupli-
cate their performance before a
larger crowd at the Polo grounds.
Heine Zimmerman and Benny kaun,
ALWAYS dangerous men at the bat,

ROCKVILLE AND COUNTY

Special Correspondence of The Star.
ROCKVILLE. Md. September s.-De-
spite energetic efforts on the part OF
the rather small number of candidates
for the various democratic nomina-
tions to be made at next Tuesdays
primary election in this county. the
voters have persfstently refused to get
excited, and the campaign throughout
has been one of the tamest of its kind
the county has known in number OF
years
One explanation of the lack of in
terest is that the faction of the party
the recognized leader has only a few
candidates in the field and has not
put up the kind of fight for any of
them that has characterized some of
the primary campaigns of the Lee
people in recent years The Lee people
suffered decisive defeat in the
primary election of two years ago. and
their keeping out of the fight this
year, excepting to give sort OF deSui-
tory support to the two or three ar
are seeking nominations, is interpret
ed as meaning that they do not regard
the time propitious to make an effort TO
regain control.
The war and the fact that the people
are prosperous and too busy to pay
much attention to anything but their
business operations also are believed
to be accountable in some degree to
much enthusiasm.
The nominations to be made next
Tuesday include four for the house of
delegates, county commissioners from
the first and second commissioner dis
trcts and sheriff.
The anti-Lee people are backing Will
liam l.. Aud for sheriff and Samuel
Riggs and John r. Lewis for county
commissioners from the first and second
districts. respectively. The friends of
former Senator Lee would like to see
George E. Nicholson nominated for
sheriff, while their choices for county
commissioners are Crittenden II. Walk
er and J. Dallas Young.
The complete list of candidates is as
follows:
For the house of delegates -four to
be named)-James y. Barnsley. F.
