There's a Reason

Greensboro will oppose the South
ern Bell proposed increase in rdtes
at the hearing in Raleigh. Why
didn't the Bell people try to raise
rates in High Point also? Certainly
is the most expensive plant they
have with but few phones and such
strong competition. But in the other
towns they had little if any cOmpe-
titiOn. The reason seems plain.

over the reins, and deserves much
credit for his work
On paper, as the dope mongers
would say. the Red Sox have the
edge. However, the curtailment of
the season and the arrangement OF
the schedule so that the Red Sox
play through the stretch at home as
been one of the biggest factors in the
victory for Boston.
Credit to Pitcher.
Barrow's pitching staff must be
given much Of the credit for the sue
cess of the tam. Mays and Bush
have been performing on the mound
in a mastery fashion all season.
Jones has had the best season of his
career; in fact. the only year he has
had a balance on the winning side of
the ledger, and has helped consider
ably. Dutch Leonard. who is now in
the United States service, played the
and had one of his best seasons. 1t
will be remembered that he per-
formed one of the spectacular stunts
of baseball In Detroit by holding the
Tigers hitless for nine innings Only
twenty men faced him.
Babe" Ruth's work has disproved
one of the theories of baseball: That
a pitcher who is shifted to the outfleld
on account of his batting ability loses
his form as a pitcher. 1t was Ruth
who hum bled the Indians yesterday,
and he has been winning practically
all of his games since he was sent into
the lineup to play other positions on
his off days by Barrow. Ruth ap-
parently retains his pitching arm as
we'll as his batting eye.

Cubs Appear Safe I'm Chase After the
National League Banner, and Ex-
pert Says Boston Will Shattcr
Hopes OF Chicago for Supremacy.
BY ALLAN MARkLEY.

New York. Aug. lS.--The Red Sox
are now practically cham pions of the
American league. All that is wanting
is the actual crowning of the Barrow
clan.
Last week the Universal Service an
nounced that the Cubs had clinched
the National league pennant. AL
though neither the Cubs nor Red
Sox are yet out of danger. there
seems little possibility of either being
dethroned. If there is to be a world s
series, and in all probability there will.
1t will be these two teams that will
meet In the annual classic.
Yesterday was a big day in the two
big leagues. II was what might be
termed the deciding day. The Cubs
took two games from the Philliee
while the Cincinnati Reds were again
trouncing the Giants. The Red Sox
won the opening game of the all-im-
portant series at Fenway park. Wash
ington, at the same time, was beaten
twice by st. Louis.
OF course. winning the first game,
does not mean that the Red Sox will
win the Cleveland series, but il bears
out the contention that the Barrow
clan Is playing true to form at Fem
way park and indicates that they
will at least hold their own in the
series. The only hope for Cleveland
to win the pennant was to clean up"
in this all-important series. The loss
OF the first game. has frustrated their
efforts to do this.
Red Sox Still Climb
The victory yesterday gave the Red
sox a lead of four games over the In
dams
While the Red Sox lost on the road
in their last tour of the west, the re
verse will undoubtedly be true now
Boston will do better work at home.
while Cleveland has shown a ten
dency to lose on the road. so far this
season.
AS matter of fact the Red Sox
are the stronger of the two clubs and
should win the pennant. They will.
If any team in the American league
will beat the Cubs in the worlds Sc
ries. Cleveland has made a game
fight throughout the season, but like
Johren. in the Travers stakes at Sara
togs yesterday, was not quite capable
of crossing the line ahead. Foil has
been gradually building up a strong
team in the Forest City since he took
