would say he had no jurisdiction

dynamite to blow them out! All he
needed was a pick and shovel for
few minutes, but it would not be
like our modern road overseers If he
did not take gang along to see that

After all, we think he was just

HOT RACE AMONG
A. |. LEADERS
Cleveland Must Beat Boston and
Washington to Keep in
Running.

Although Babe Ruth's gentle hand
brought victory to the Red Sox IN the first
game of their crucial series with the
Cleveland Indians, the said redskins can
not be counted out Of the pennani race
vet. Two hot afternoons of baseball AT
the Hub remain, in which Lee Fohls
tribe can more than make up the ground
lost Saturday, and it will take clean
sweep by the Boston bunch to do any
thing like eliminate the Indians from the
race.
Last week did accomplish some elimi-
nation. Nothing but n sensational squirt
by the New York Giants or the Wash
ington Senators can bring those two
teams back to within striking distance of
their respective pennants. The Senators
put up a hard battle, but several heart
breaking defeats, notably those at the
hands of Detroit and the st. Louis Browns,
have about given them their qulctus.
The Giants are now about IS points
back of the Cubs, and 15 points is about
as good rs a mile with two weeks of the
season remaining. All the Cubs have TO
do is TO get ready for the worlds series,
If any.
Washington, though out of the running,
now, can figure largely i'll the decision of
the American League pennant, for the
Indians stop in there after they leave
Boston. making -four days visit To the
capital. The Indians have the hardest
week of their season Just ahead Oi them,
and if they succeed in cutting down the
Red SoX lead to any extent before next
Sunday their chances look very bright
From Washington they come here for
three days. before drifting out to Chicago
