I The proposal that Congress dispense with the
congressional election this fall might appeal to
Congress, since it would save each member Of
the House and one-third the senators consider
able expense, to say nothing of anxiety and the
possibility of defeat, but the constitution stands
in the way It says that the House shall be elect
ed every second year. 1t cannot be argued that
this may be suspended in time of war for there is
another section of the constitution which limits
the life of an appropriation for war purposes to
two years, solely to let the country elect new
House. The elections must progress as usual,
under the constitution.

The movement inaugurated some weeks ago
looking to the taking over of the Hirsch proper
ty by the town for park should not be allowed
to die. The town will never have another OPP
portunity of getting as desirable property again
for this purpose. 1t is apparent that all that
would be necessary to carry out this plan would
be for a sufficient number of our citizens to in
terest THEMSELVES in the project to the extent of
getting behind it and we hope that this may be
done at once.

By dropping a double bill to Cin- cinnati yesterday Muggsy McGraw Vir- tually counted himself out of the Ma tional league race. The stormy leader of the Giants, after getting away 10 what looked like safe lead, has been unable to keep his machine in smooth running order while his opponents, ths Cubs, have played consistent ball all season The betting was even at the start of the season that New York would win the National league rag with the Reds doped to finish second. Then Alexander was drafted into the. army and those few Cub supporters gave up the ghost, but not so Charley Mitchell.
 On the contrary Mitchell. by care fully handling his hurlers has been able to show clean pair of heels to the rest of the procession during all but the first few weeks of the sea son.
 And soon we will have the big se- ries upon us Even though the raco in the Johnson circuit is not yet de- cided, experts have begun to dope out the basball classic. most of them con- ceding the flag to Boston and others willing to still consider Cleveland as possibility. Washington, though but two games behind Cleveland. is scarce- ly mentioned as a probable partici- pant in the big bill but the Senators haven't given up by a long shot. While Boston and Cleveland were both los- ing, Clark Griffith's gang gained 8 full game yesterday.
 It's been so long since the National league won worlds series that the odds will undoubtedly favor the Amer ican champions. regardless of who they are, but the Cubs have fine chance

. for they have demonstrated their abil- ity to keep cool under fire and have played great ball in all the crucial se- ries this year. If Boston opposes Mitch. els team. the Bruins may get the de- cision for Ed Barrow is not the typo of manager who can be counted upon to get the most out of his bunch in a few games.
 If Cleveland wins the American league gonfalon, it'll be tough on Chi cago for Lee Fohl is better pilot than Barrow and his machine has shown the Cubs have no yearning and well may they pull against the Senator's who possess in Walter Johnson and Harper two pitchers who would be almost cer tain to bag two games apiece
 As far as actual dope is concerned. however it's pretty safe to pick any American league team to beat any Ma tional league team and there are some who maintain that the Atletics could mop up with everybody in the Tener circuit except Chicago and New York.

Irish Patsy Cline defeated Harry Pierce of Brooklyn on points. All these bouts were fought at the Philadelphia ball park.
 Burleigh Grimes was the guy who put the skids under the Cubs yester- day. Burleigh was opposed by Phil Douglas. but Phil couldn't quite stand the strain.
 Rube Bressler, who left the Reds about a month ago to enter the service. returned to the fold yesterday and boat New York in the second game of a double header.
