"OUTLAW LEACUERS'
MAY WIN FOR GIANTS
Four Former Federals viii Be
In the Game Against
White SOx
By H. G. Hamilton

(Unlted Press staff correspondent
New York, Sept. 27.-By remote
kind of figuring it might be deduced
that the forthcoming world s grapple
between the Giants and the White Sox
will be something of a test between
the stars of the old Federal league and
those of the American league.
Four former members of the OUTLAW
league will be in action against the
White Sox, but not Federal graces
the roster the national commission ap-
proved for the White Sox.
Fred Anderson, Benny Kauff and
Bill Rariden were three of the big
guns in the old circuit. Jimmy Smith
also did some ball playing when jim
Gilmore was in baseball, but didn t
class with the other trio.
Since last spring, this trio of Feder-
ais has done as much as any other tri-
angle to boost the Giants into the pen
nant. Anderson s. work has been of
the relief kind, but mighty effective
Rariden has done the brunt of the
catching, and Kauff s hitting almost
kicked the Giants into pennant with
out further help, for it has been his
consistency and nerve that won cru
cial contests.
Comparison between Federal league
players and those in the National and
American leagues used to be common,
but now the ex-Feds have done noble
duty in the National, thereby being
booked to show in competition against
the Americans.

Mayor of Chicago,
"Sixth German City"
Aspires to Senate

Chicago, Sept. 26.-Mayor William
Hale Thompson last night announced his
ca@didaey for the republican nomina-
tion for United States senator to sue
ceed James Hamilton Lewis, democrat,
at the primary election next September,
basing his contest on the ground of
giving the people of Illinois "an oppor-
tunity to vote ON vital government pol
icies, involving most precious rights of
American citizens.'
The announcement says: 81 stand up
On my record as a public official, my
public addresses and my authorized pub
lie statements
The mayor recently sued Chicago
newspapers for attacks on him in con
nection with his stand in regard to the
entrance of the United States into the
European war and the draft law and
his opposition to Governor Frank G.
Lowden, who ordered the suppression
of peace meeting in Chicago.
Mayor Thompson has been quoted as
saying that as mayor of the "sixth
German city of the world' he yielded to
none in patriotism, but that he "oppOs-
ed. the entrance of American armies
into Europe and the drafting of Ameri
cans to fight ON foreign SOIL" His
statements declared that the majority of
the people were with him in his stand.

scalpers Will Get Them

Chicago, Sept 27.-Charles Comis
key, president of the White Sox, start
ed out today to "strafe the scalper.
He called on State s Attorney Hoyne
Police Chief Sehuettler and Mayor
Thompson to aid in putting a crimp III
the boys who are trying to lay up a
winters supply of kale through bull
ing the market on world series tickets.
The White Sox boss was confident of
the officials cooperation, inasmuch
as the scalper really is a "ciyic evil, "
he said.
The rule requiring fans to purchase
tickets for three games is proving a
boomerang. Thousands will be unable
to see more than the first one or two
games, and the management had just
awakened to the fact that under the
circumstances the fans just naturally
will turn the coupons they can't use
over to the scalpers.
Now, after the tickets have all been
sold, Comiskey announces that any fan
who can t attend all the games can get
his money back by personally turning
in the unused coupons at the gate. The
question was raised today whether a
man who could spare the time to turn
in the coupon at the gate couldn't just
as well see the game through.

tanned in the bulletin are to reach the

For each state the food administration
has appointed federal food administra-

director for the state. The director is
first to make a list OF the libraries in
the state and ask for their cooperation.
He is to make a study Of the best ways
in which the libraries Of the community
can present the ideas Of the food admin
istration, and to call for a monthly re-
port from each of the Librarians who
express q willingness to Cooperate.

For the libraries individually a plan
Of publicity is suggested. The first item
is that as much space as possible be
given to the exhibition Of the food prod
ucts Of the community. A permanent
collection Of books on food production
and food conservation is another re-
quirement. ALI magazine articles and

and of the determination some day to
even up the old score.
When Austria started what was
meant to be q war OF determination
against Serbia, Bulgaria gave no signs
Of sympathy with her fellow Slavs.
Possibly this was not to be expected.
Yet neither was 1t to be expected that
Bulgaria would ultimately align her
self with nation whose policy was so
hostile to the Slavs as that of Aus
tria has been, and still Is.
For a while Bulgaria remained act
ually. as nominally. neutral. At times
hopes were high in London and Paris
that she would Join the entente. The
attitude of Greece encouraged this
feeling. King Constantine's govern
ment was against the entente. Some
Greek statesmen were not against It.,
but they wanted not only more terri
tory In the Aegean sea and on the
European mainland, but in Asia Minor.
It was under this exaggerated notion

many win the war. Whether the recent
visit Of the kaiser to Sofia was to coun-
teract Bulgarian move for peace Is
a matter of conjecture.
Bulgaria has every reason for wanting
peace now, but 1t seems to be Bull
garian peace that she wants. Just as 1t
With Macedonia reoccupied, and with
Rumania unable to hald the territory
which Bulgaria was forced to yield In
1912, and with her own territory not
invaded, peace undoubtedly would be
a good thing for Bulgaria.
No prospect exists that such peace
proposal will be entertained by the
entente allies or be permitted by Ger
many. Bulgaria Is too useful pawn
for Germany. The only question Is how
far Bulgaria's peace attitude might be
developed in defiance Of Germany.
It is here that the relations with
the United States come into considera-
ton. Bulgaria established a legation
in Washington some years ago, and

the partition of the bulk Of Turkeys

Bulgaria under this settlement, and
