OF the recent worlds series. and the
greatest slugger Of modern times, will
either pitch, or play right field, and
there ought to be a fine swatiing con-
test between Babe" and Joe Jackson.
Other members of the worlds cham

Schang and Bullet Joe" Bush. Nc
Avoy Of the Athletics and "'Mule' Wat
son will also be on hand. Jamison,
Johnson and Kilroy OF the Athletics.
will also be found in the Cramps line
up.
Taken as a whole It is a big league
club in its entirety that will oppose
Harlan. and incidentally one of the
strongest big league clubs ever huddlcd
together. Where will you find two
greater twrlers than Ruth and Bush.
"Walie" Schang is reckoned a star in
any position he is played. The remand
er of the cast have all been prominent
in major league ball for years and Har-
Ian is up against the toughest PROPOSE
ton il has ever faced.
Many who saw Harlan trim STAN
dard say the shipyard champs are as
strong as any organized ball team ex-
tant and now everybody will get a
chance to compare their merits.

FEAR LEWIS CAN'T
REDUCE Weight
If He Doesn' t Leonard Will
Have Him at His
Mercy
TWO TITLES ARE
IN THE BALANCE

Ted Lewis boasts that when he en-
ters the ring with Benny Leonard in
Newark next Mondsy night he will be
lighter than The lightweight cham
pion. After a workout for news
papermen at Long Branch yesterday
Lewis declared that he already was
down 10 i39 pounds and that he
could easily make i35 by o'clock
on Monday The business Of re-
ducing weight can do Lewis no good
and may work him a lot Of harm. for
he needs all his strength against an
antagonist Of Leonard's hitting power
and cleverness.
II Lewis could come into the ring at
i35 and still be strong there would be
a great incentive for his doing so. for
he would thus convert the fight into a
battle for the lightweight as well as
the welterweight title. However.
Lewis positively could not make 1856
pounds at any time OF the day or year
His normal fighting, poundage is ii2
He probably will tip the scales at that
figure on Monday n he falls below
the ii0 mark he will be giving Leonard
only so much more advantage 10 be-
hooves Lewis TO make ii2 and pray
that Leonard comes as near as possible
10 that weight for the heavier the
champion The slower will
he be. Leonard is not.likely 10 come
in much below i39.

Baseball Revolution TO Follow the War

Of conditions here, OF the spirit Of the
men in the American army, Of their
continued Interest in the game as cx-
hibited in their own games here, and
Of their andidly expressed approval Of
the suspension Of professional baseball
in the States for the duration Of the
war.
Every regiment has its baseball team
and in Paris the troops stationed in or
near the capital league season-the
Paris .leaguc-which ended late in Au-
gust. The season ended with eighteen
teams out Of thirty that started, the
others having been compelled TO with
draw because of troop movements.
At the outset French army command
ers sent men to watch the games with
the view OF introducing baseball TO
French soldiers. The results are mea-
ger, however. During the latter part
Of August, after Evers arrival. he has
been touring the French front, at the
official invitation OF General Vidal. He
was furnished a staff Of Interpreters
and the necessary material dc base
ball''-meaning bats and balls-and In
various sectors he laid out diamonds,
showed the pOilus how the game was
played and picked teams and umpired
games. BY the time Evers lefI French
camps early in September to give base
ball a boost among the American sol
diers. the French were enthralled ~ilh

In French newspapers Evers is hailed
as Monsieur Jeannot Eyers. ancien

proXimately, "Nir. Johnny Eyers, old
baseball champion Of Chicago, the man
who mastered the geography of second
base celebrated professor Of the ma
tional American sport"
"All right, If they say So" said Evers, !
"but what did they want TO tack on

PARIS, Sept. S-Revolutionary reor-
'ganizaticn Of baseball viii be inevitable
after the WARMTH major league teams
recruited exclusively from men who
have fought for Uncle Sam in France.
That is the radical statement made
to the n. +. A. representative in Paris
by Johnny Evers. for many years big
league star and m mber OF several
worlds champion teams.
Evers is now in France, attached to
the Knights Of Columbus overseas init,
promoting baseball among American
soldiers and teaching the French how
to play the American national game.
"They say the soldiers Of this war
will be the power in politics back home
after it's over" Evers said, "Quite like
ly-but put a bet down that the boys
fighting over here will be the big power
in The reorganization OF professional
baseball
Baseball will never be as IL was be-
fOre-the same old stars drawing fab
ulous salaries. The game has received
its death blow until the war is over
and won for democracy And the big
league stars OF the future-and OF the
minor leagues, too, Of course-are the
doughboys playing here within the
sound Of the guns, in the rest and re-
cuperation camps and in the innumer-
able American military centers scat
tered over France
Boys never heard OF in baseball are
going TO go back home not only with
bright military records. but possessors
OF baseball fame earned in games
snatched between battles.
I'D almost be willing TO bet that
after The war the baseball fans in the
major and minor league circuits will
loot off the field any player, no matter
how good, II he can't show that he's
done his bit for Uncle Sam"
Evers' opinion was born Of his survey

WILSON'S MAN
THE VICTOR IN
GA. PRIMARY

Atlanta, Ga, Sept IL. - Unofficial
and incomplete returns from today's
democratic primary in Georgia at mid
night indicated that William J. Horris,
endorsed by President Wilson, had
swept the state in the senatorial con-
test for the seat now held by Sen
Thomas w. Hardwick
Competition for the second place ap-
pears close between Hardwick and
Congressman William Schley Howard
but neither has received sufficient
votes to make second primary likely.
Early returns COVE Harris an over
whelming majority Of the county unit
vote. and it appeared probable that he
received majority of the popular vote
as well.
Reports from 13o counties gave Ear-
ris 100, Hardwick 16; Howard 13, and
Emmett Shaw L. John R Cooper. fifth
candidate had failed to carry one. ac-
cording to returns.
Early indications were that Carl
Vinson defeated Thomas Watson for
congress from the fifth district. Re
turns in the other seven congressional
districts where incumbents had oppo-
sition were SO Incomplete that at mid
night nothing definite could be given
as to results.

AID Y An CE In
TAX RATE is
PROBABILITY
CITY COMMISSIONERS CONSIDER
ING PROPOSITION IN CONNEc-
TION WITH AN INCREASED
BUDGET OF $500, 600.

An Increased budget for the city for
the coming year end raise in the tax
rate are problems that are now con-
fronting the city commissioners.
The proposed advance in the tax rate
which has been under discussion for
spme time is said to be almost ne
cessary sequence to the general ex-
pansion of the municipal outlay, due
to the upward trend of the cost of ev-
erything from unskilled labor TO build
ing materials. It is argued that the
raise must be made if the city is to
be more literally financed.
The present tax rate is g mills.
What the advance will be has not been
determined A final decision may be
to leave the old rate stand for the pres
ent. The question OF raising the tax
rate has been up frequently before,
but has always gone over without
change
The boost in the city budget is abb
solutely necessary, it was stated. The
cost of labor is excessive, and at that
labor is scarce and hard to procure.
The commissioners estimate, from
data from heads of the various depart
nents, that at least 100000 will be
required to run Pensacola during the
next year.

REACHED BETWEEN
ROAD EMULoYES AND OFF,
cIALs-REsUMPTI OF scHEp-
uLE RELIEVES CONGESTION.

Striking trainmen of the G. F. & A.
railroad will return to their work this
morning and the regular schedule of
the road is expected to be carried out.
This announcement was made by Gen.
erai Manager j. N. Fraser of the rail-
road company at 8 o'clock last night,
who said that an agreement had been
reached between the company and the
employees.
Resumption of the train schedule
will greatly relieve the freight situa-
ton here and will mean a resumption
of the U. s. mail service. The strike
had necessitated visit here by Chief
Clerk l.. Poole OF Birmingham, Ala
who had completed arrangements for
the mail to go out over the G. F. & A.
by motor car this morning, in the
event that the walk-out was contin-
ued.
Appeals were wired to Director Cen
eral w. G. McAdoo of the L. s. Rail-
road Administration at Washington, as
we'll as to Senators Fletcher and
| Trammel late yesterday afternoon by
the Chamber of Commerce, after a
special session of that pody.
The meeting had been called be-
cause the cessation of deliveries by the
G. f. & A. might have necessitated
the closing of several Pensacola bust
ness houses whose trade is served by
traffic of the railroad. The appeal of
the Chamber of Commerce asked that
every aid be given the G. f. & A to
enable them to meet the demands OF
the striking trainmen.
1t was the concensus of opinion at
the meeting that the G. F. & A. Is Of
vital import to the city of Pensacola,
a he -
! 1t serves. The wire which was sent
was in the endeavor to have more
freight diverted to the line. so that
it might be kept alive and to make 1t
possible to meet its financial demands
The text of the telegram follows:
At a called meeting held this day of
the Chamber of Commerce of Pensaco-
! la at which all manufacturing and bus
mess interests were represented the
following resolution were unanimously
adopted: Whereas trainmen and en-
/ ginemen of the Gulf, Florida and Ala
bama Railroad demand standard wages
which management is unable to grant
due to lack of earning capacity by re-
! striction of solicitation and freight be-
| ing diverted from this road to federal
| control railroads. The general man.
agement has wired the receiver that
even in the face of debts that the ad-
vances of the workmen who have
struck be met under protest until such
| time as conferences can be had with
proper officials Of the Railroad Admin
| istration in Washington for proper soIu
| ton, and inasmuch as this road serves
| manufacturing and business interests
which cannot be served by other roads
we hereby unanimously resolve and en-
dorse their request that all possible
assistance be given the Gulf. Florida
and Alabama Railroad to enable Them
to resume and continue operations
