 BUT GIANTS ARE
 STILL IN CLEAR
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

NEW YORK, Aug. 19.-The pennant races in the National and American leagues continued with only little change the last week. In the National New York slipped back slightly while Philadelphia, in second place, gained somewhat.
 In the American the week ended with Chicago and Boston in the same positions as at the beginning. Today the White Sox increased their lead by defeating Philadelphia, IA to 6, while the Red Sox were losing to Cleveland, ' to 2.
 New York had the poorest week in the National league since the week ending July 29. The Giants had "a heavy schedule, but the best they could do was to break even in ten games. McGraw's men, although battin gwell, had cratic pitching and their total Of 16 errors was the highest for any week of the present season but they played more games.
 Philadelphia won six and lost two by winning one out of three from Boston and five games straight from Pitts burg. Cincinnati held third place again for one day and then gave way to St. Louis Chicago. continued it's good play and C1nclnnatl, St. Lotus and Chicago now are punched closely, nine points separating these three western contenders.
 The play of the Chicago Americans improved over sthN previous week. Rowlands men hit harder and their scoring power improved. Three of the six games went into extra innings and two of them resulted victoriously for IL. place until Friday when they lost to Philadelphia in twelve innings, Boston taking first place.

claims filed and this evening the board will beyond doubt certify a number of men to the district board as being accepted for military service.
 The local exemption board has a problem to deal with that gives them more than their share of work. Ac- cording to the draft law each local exemption board was to represent the registrants for a population of 3O,O00 people. New York city has 149 boards representing their population. In Maricopa county, with a popula- tion of approximately 50,000 people, the board is passing on two thirds again as many registrants as they really should. This flinders speed of both the medical and exemption boards.
 The local exemption board last evening announced that all names of men that have been published as having been finally accepted and cer- tified to the district board, were not exact and only tentative. These names were in a number of cases wrong. Hereafter only certified names cf those men accepted will be given out

FA[ TN STILL
 IN SHADOW 0F
 THE GALLONS

That William Faltin. released from the Arizona state hospital for the in sane on Saturday upon certification by Dr. John R. Walls, superintendent of that institution, and returned to the Arizona state prison, is still in the shadow of the gallows, was the opinion generally expressed yesterday by law yefs and others familiar with the statutes. Notwithstanding that capital punishment has been abolished in Ari- ZOna through the adoption of a con- stitutional amendment, it is the opinion generally that in Faiths case this amendment would have no bearing.
 Governor Campbell on Saturday stated that as soon as the return of Faltin to the state prison as sane, had been certified to him, he would issue a communication of the death sentence to life imprisonment. This he ex- plained would be done solely because he believed that a vote having been registered against capital punishment, there should be no more hangings in Arizona, even though through d strict interpretation of the law hanging in this case might legally be carried out
 Whether County Attorney L. M. Laney will take steps looking to having Faltin returned to the jurisdiction of the superior court of Maricopa county. is uncertain. MT Laney has admitted that he is looking into the law carefully but he is not yet, decided whether the situation calls for any action on the part If his office
 The party of prison officers who came to Phoenix for Faltin and three ether prisoners to be returned to the prison, consisted of s. E. Kent, assist ant superintendent and captain of the guards; John Redmond, secretary of the prison; R. B. Anderson, Harry Campbell and James McVey. A report received from the pr-aon by telephone Saturday night told of the safe arrival in Florence of the entire party, the trip having been made without particu- lar incident.

Unless the federal draft district ex- emption board decides that firemen should be exempted from the provi- sions of the selective draft law, the Phoenix fire department stands in danger of losing fourteen of it's most valuable fire fighters. That number of men have been examined, found to be within the age limits and physically fit.
 That the taking from the depart ment of that number of skilled em- ployes would result in seriously i'm pairing the efficiency of the various companies and that there would be grave danger in Phoenix from fires if the business of eXtinguishing them is placed in the hands of less skilled employees, is the contention of the local fire underwriters.
 A letter which is quite self -eX- planatory has been addressed by Adrian H. Matthew, assistant secre- tary of the Arizona Fire Insurance company, to Captain J. l.. B. Alex ander, member of the district ex- emption board, expressing this thought.
 Secretary Matthew says:
 Tt has been brought to the atten- tion of this company, the fact that under the draft the fire department of Phoenix will lose fourteen of it's valuable men.
 You are no doubt aware that the National Board of Fire Underwriters have placed at the disposal of the '. S. government all of it's resources in order to try and reduce the loss by fire of the natural and physical resources of this country. All of the fire insurance companies, members

M achines Collide

Suddenly around the corner and from behind the high hedge the stage automobile loomed up. Before either driver could devise a way out of the predicament, the machines had crashed together. The stage automo- bile struck head on. The radiator of the Fike car was completely demol- ished, the windshield broken and the headlights shattered The front axle of the Grady machine was bent, tire torn off, both lights demolished and the windshield broken.
 Flying glass struck Mrs Grady in- flicting a deep cut in the forehead. Joe Miller, who was riding in the front seat of the stage machine, was also cut in several places about the head body and legs.
 Lawrence Brandon, who with Miss Iva McFate, was driving along Van Buren street witnessed the accident and was quickly at the side of Mrs Grady. He took Mrs. Grady in his car and hurried her to the office of Dr. R. R. Brownfield, who after dressing her wounds, sent her to her home Mrs. Bradstreet and her husband were taken in the car of J. w.

Tried to Avoid it

While there is some evidence that the stage driver made tco short a cut at the intersection, he explained this by saying that when he observed the other machine in such close proximity he tried to avoid collision by run ming in between the car and the hedge, although he realized that in doing so he was taking the wrong side of the road.
 The police and the sheriffs office were quickly represented at the scene and will conduct a joint investigation. It was pointed out to MT. Grady that in permitting his twelve year old son to drive the automobile, a violation of the city ordinances governing the op- eration of motor vehicles was being committed.
