2 New York, Sept. 24-A1though the
.Phillies are making a dying effort to
keep the Giants from becoming Ma
,tiona1 League champions for 1917, it
seems a hopeless task since on more
victory for the New York club will
clinch the argument beyond dispute.
The Phillies have just finished win
ming fives traight games from the
Cubs, and are only 10 games behind
the Giants, but to cheat McGraw's
team out Of a chance to meet the
White Sox for the baseball supremacy
of the universe. the Phtl1es would
have to win all Of their remaining 10
games and in the same ratio the
Giants would have to lose all OF their
remaining 10; games.
The, Giants open at st. Louis to
day for a three-gan1e series and then
travel to Cincinnati for three more
games, winding up the season against
the Philies in the Philadelphia park
in a four game series. Each Of these

Having Good Team
On The Gridiron

Philadelphia, Sept. 24-A1though
the University Of Pennsylvania will
adhere to the recent ruling of the Ma
tional Collegiate Athletic: Association
to eliminate the training table, the
Blue and Red officials expect to main
tain its high athletic standing Of
years gone by.
The Quaker institution expects to
enlist the services of many of its for
mer stars to whip the various teams
into condition. There will be few
veteran athletes back at college, as
many of them have Joined the sailor
and soldier units or are doing ambu-
lance duty in France. The only foot
ball star who will again be available
is Miller, the captain. who twice at
tempted to enlist. but was rejected ON
account of defective eyesight and bad
teeth.
The decision to have no preliminary
coaching of any kind has caused the
cancellation of the first two games on
the schedule. Albright was to have
opened the season on Saturday, Sep
TENDER 22, followed by Franklin and
Marshall on September 20.
Since there will be no practice prior
to the opening of the university, on
September %, neither Of these games
is possible. Major Pickering COM
municated with the authorities at AL
bright and franklin and Marshall and
was told that since they were observ-
ing the N. c. A A. Recommendations
they were agreeable to either cancell-
ing or postponing these games IL nec-
essary.

LEONARD'S IDEA IS
RUSH VICTIMS FOR

New York, Sept. 24.-Benny Leon
that Benny was ever shy Of them, but
he seems to have hit upon a plan to
stop every man he meets in as short
time as possible. Terry McGovern
had the same fighting notion once
upon a time and became world ia
nous because Of such notions.
There is hardly a man in the world,
clever or hard hitter, who can with
stand the Leonard rush. We all
thought that Kilbane would. Benny
battered his way through Kilbane's
famous defense as If it had been
formed Of egg shells. There is just
one boxer who might spear Leonard
with a hook, if he fought rushing

The Chicago boy is as deadly as a
RATHER If you come to him He can't
lead and every. boxer in the world
knows it. But he can hook and hook
hard if the other man brings the fight
to him. Leonard might sweep White
off his feet. as he has all the rest, but
he would be taking a. great chance,
for once hooked with that left. few
of Whites victims ever get up to hear
the brides sing. Leonard has never
been hit as hard yet. Nobody has
been able to land on him effectively.
Even in his cub days he was fast, and
had the good sense to refrain from
showing his gameness by stopping
them with his face.
The very fact that he hasn't been
hit hard UP to now makes it pretty
certain that he is going to be a cham
pion for a long time. White Is the
one dangerous foe in sight, simply be-
cause Leonard had adopted rip

an most impressive, was performed with
the utmost reverence and decency and
that there was not the least sign of dis
order throughout. But the point is that
on various other occasions men had been
tried and sent to prison for the very
acts that were now discrectly winked at.
These examples are but typical Of the
present method Of Irish government. 1t
was said many years ago that laws IN
Ireland were made to be broken,' and
the rule still holds good. The truth ap-
pears TO be that no one has the courage
to enforce them. Take another instance;
Just before Ashes funeral vehement
denunciation Of the government was writ
ten by the Roman Catholic Bishop OF
Killaloe, and sent to the Dublin papers.
Publication was forbidden by the censor,
hut 1.-THE Freeman's Journal defed his
prohibition and printed it. Many an un-
important little paper in Ireland has been
suspended for precisely the same offence,
but in the case Of 1.-THE Freeman's jour
nal' not the least attempt was made to
vindicate the authority Of the censor.
These events all occurred within three
days. They show plainly the present state
of affairs in the country. Is 1t any won
der that the government is held in con-
tempt? Mr.. Duke speaks OF two cur
rents Of feeling" but by what possible
contortion can he hope to fall in with
both and to satisfy either? There are
many who think that under the condi-
tons that prevail government cannot be
too lenient. There are others who hold
that the only possible way OF keeping the
country in order is by coercion and all
sorts Of stringent prohibitions. But there
is no man Of any party so bereft OF
reason as to imagine that medium course
can be found by introducing all sorts OF
oppressive laws and then suffering them
to be broken. or by using coercion and
the most preposterous clemency entirely
according to the within Of the moment.
The plain truth is that there is no pol
icy at all In tho government OF Ireland
at present. In spite Of all the lessons OF
the past, the methods Of Mr.. Birrell still
prevail

Feminine Partisanship"
Ia the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Every once in a while sufrsgists sFs
a little more unconsciously humorous than
usual. Just now some of us are chucklins
over the strenuous efforts Of certain SUI.
frage leaders to repudiate "partisanship'
which, as q matter Of fact is the middle nan.
Of woman suffrage. The enfranchisement Of
women would be the establishment and per
petuation Of feminine psrtissnship, and tho
spectacle Of suffragists trying to cloak then
selves in -partsanship" is Just about"
convincing as a Kaiser or Car preach-s
democracy.
Although Mr.. Mitchell made speech forn
suffragists at Saratoga they refuse to von

our gallant political leaders are being 'oui'

speaking on suffrage platforms for years
was not even invited to that convention, ana
neither was Max Eastman, former secretary
Ct the Man Woman Suffrage League. Social
lists generally were conspicuous BY their 90,

so hard for "sex independence" as the So

Borrow and Buy

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Here Is . very simple proposition
that will, believe, interest . considerable
class Of people who are neither fnanciers
nor business folks
Many men and women have lying in their
safety deposit boxes industrial and other
stocks In small smounts-say from $1,000
to s5,oo0-upon which they are receiving
dividends. Some Of this middle class Of
savers have sold these stocks outright and
invested the proceeds in Liberty bonds, be-
cause they did not know the better way,
which Is to hypothecate their stocks with
their bank for whatever sum they can bor-
row to Invest In the Liberty bonds. They
can borrow say 5000 or $500 at per cent.
In this way they are using a resource they
did not know they possessed. Banks are
glad to do this. Thousands Of people do not
know they have credit and that it is worth
money 10 them; but | think If it is ex-
planned to them there will be a rush on the
banks for this class Of loan. Few people
understand that nearly all business is done
on the credit system-borrowed capital.
People borrowing in this way do not lose
their dividends. WILLIAM FRANCIS.

he has put himself in before the loyal Amer
lean citizenry when he openly refuses to sub
scribe to the Liberty Loan for fear that he

Is Mr. Hillquit morally or Intellectually

II he is either one or the other, then, in
this serious crisis Of our nations affairs, as

High Price of American Dyes
/, the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: I note with interest your Washington
telegram in to-day's Tribune on the recent
rapid developments Of the American dye and
chemical industry, but would observe that
while our manufacturers undoubtedly de-
serve credit for having had the courage to
make the initial investment, would re-
specially point out that they are recouping
their outlay altogether too rapidly at the
sole expense Of the consumers OF their prod
ucts, so that really they are not entitled 70
as much credit as it would seem.
Take, for instance, the matter OF dyea
With few exceptions they are not producing
the high quality and uniformity we formerly
obtained from Germany, while at the SANE
time we are forced to pay anywhere from I'VE
to twenty times the prc-war cost OF both Ger
man and American made goods. This cont
ton is not as it should be, because II mik
tates against our establishing ourselves
securely in foreign markets, where our con-
sequent high prices, because Of the sbnor-
mally high costs of our products, tend In turn
to create feeling Of resentment against US.
There can be no question that consumers,
where possible, are now adopting hand.to-
mouth policy, and as a consequence thereof
the aforesaid grasping American manufactu'.
ers find enormous stores Of dyes accumula'-
ing or their hands.
Some of these days the unwisdom OF this
policy may become apparent, and we users OF
such products and the public in turn will nos
be imposed upon and hampered to the extent
that we now are. Meanwhile supporting eU'
denee Is the widespread frequent complaint
as to the dirty and fugitive colorings Of our
textiles, feathers, papers and pigmentsl
