Chicago Cubs Our Favorite

wv shall begin September a, and which will
undoubtedly be between the Chicago Cubs and
Boston Red Sox Say what you may, this
produces of the oldtme thrill. One important
series between two we'll matched ball clubs will be
to the baseball student and that Not
SO great student, mayhap, Old Hughie Fullerton,
who has already taken his figures down off the shelf
and is administering daily to his various patients-but
still student.
After consulting our conscience and our pocketbool
find that the Chicago Cubs will win the impending
clash and that they will do simply because they
the better and campact ball club They have good
pitching and fine catching, sprghtly infeld, and an
outfeld composed of galvanized antiques that quite
does the Bean Eaters outer works.
In due time we shall go the situation pointing
out carefully why the Cubs cannot ose Last season we
did this very effectively, winning four out of seven
games for the Giants week before the series was
played To be sure, the Giants fell down US little
later but to this day know the better team lost and
if ball teams will not do they supposed to do GER
tainly hot at fault
The Giants will not fall down this year in a
worlds series because they not in it, That should
lend fine air of authenticity to assertion that the
Cubs will win the worlds championship in either five or
six games Batter up

On the Lewis-Leonard Salient

THE hammer brigade has started after the Lewis
and Leonard fight. We have letter before us
alleging why that fight should not be held
II halt OF them true, the bout will bear nvestiga-
ton by the New Jersey boxing commissioners Nor are
these the first aspersons that have been cast against
this bout.
The mote is most critics eyes seems to be that
George Engle who long has been associated with the
Leonard retnue is handling Ted "Kid" Lewis and that
everything is fixed for nice take-in without either
party running any chance.
The trouble with the information supplied US is that
1t is anonymously sent, and who crticises under
the signature "A Jerseyte" etc. is always at heart
coward. But that doesn't lessen the fact in this par
tcuar that have heard several of the regulars
pan the bout the ground that it is bound to be iust
of those things"
Well, If it is, it will be Gust another one Of those
things. 1t is reasonable to believe that Lewis and
Leonard put up eght-round boxing exh bjtion

are permitted to If any demands more than

For Big Bout

Ted "Kid" Lewis, the worlds weIter-
weight champion, will motor to-day to
Long Branch, where he has selected
quarters to finish UP his training work
for his titular bout with Benny Leon
ard, lightweight champion, at Wedcn-
mayors Park, in Newark September 10.
lie will be accompanied by his wife and
year-old son and several friends Mrs.
Lewis Will supervise the culinary end
OF the champions training.
The boss of welte rweights will lose
no time in getting down to serious
work, as he plans to do a little road
work and boxing before the sun sets to-
day Lewis appreciates the task he has
undertaken in signing up with Leonard,
for Benny is one of the hardest hitting
lightweghts the game has ever pro-
duced. Lewis has more at stake than
Leonard, for his welterweight cham
pionship will be in the balance A
Knockout victory for Benny will make
HIM the holder of two crowns. The
late Bob Fitzsimmons was the only
fighter to hold more than one title at q
time
Lewis, however, has no fear of the
outcome, Judging by his statement that
he intends to carry Leonard along at a
dizzy pace from the first gong While
respecting Benny's vaunted wallop,
Lewis says he will cast caution to the
winds and fight Leonard toe to toe if
the latter elects to battle in that man
ner.
"This is my chance to show the box
ing fans of the metropolitan district
that I am real CHAMPION" said Lewis
last night. cpl show them a fight such
as they never saw before, if only Leon
ard will stand up and mix matters with
me. I know my championship is in
volved in this bout, but What good is a
champion if he will not defend his title
against all comers? ?''

Shows Speedin
Parkway Irot
BY J. S. Mitchell

The tenth matinee of the Nassau
Driving Club on the Parkway track,
Brooklyn, provided an afternoon of
first rate sport for the harness racing
folk, the card being made up of eight
spiritedly contested numbers.
AS far as quality went the palm fell
to Marion Kirke, bay daughter Of
San Francisco, which accounted for the
free-for-all trotting class in straight
heats and incidentally disposed of Di-
rect AQuilan, horse that had hereto
fore scored four straight victories. and
was rated as the king of the matinee
division.
Not alone did Marion Kirke give the
dust to Direct, but she stepped the
fastest mile made in trot on the
Parkway circuit this season. Her time
was 2:l4 1-5 in the second heat, and as
an extra proof of her superiority
Davis, the owner and driver, allowed
her to flash past the post with his
hands down on the rein.
There was a bit of squabblc over
the 2:18 trot, which was the opening
event of the meet. Ethel B. and Kin
ney McGregor trotted dead heat after
Ethel B. had scored in the first heat.
race, and Thomas, the driver of the
mare, objected, claiming that according
to the rules they should have been or
dered to the stable and not allowed to
start in the third heat.
The objection was overruled. Regu
lars present thought the action was
specimen Of poor sportsmanship.
Thomas drove the mare to we'll

Germany, who signed the conventions of the second peace conference at The Hague, 1907, pledged themselves to the following:
 Article l.. No general penalty, pc Cuniury or otherwise, shall be inflicted upon the population on account of the acts of individuals for which they can not be regarded as jointly and several ly responsible"
 Article LII. Acquisitions in kind and services shall not be demanded from municipalities or inhabitants ex- cept for the needs of the army of oc- equation. They shall be in proportion ,o the resources of the country, and Of such nature as not to involve the in- hubItants in the obligation of taking part in military operations against their own country
 The German authorities have viOlat- ed these articles from the very begin ming. As soon uS they invaded Bel gium. heavy fines were laid upon indi- viduul communities nS repriSals for some act against the German army or its regulations which wus committed within their boundaries. lA An Ap- peal to Truth" Cardinal Mercier cites the following CuScS:
 "Muliucs, workiugclass town, without resources, has had Il fine of 10000 marks inflicted on il because the burguuaSter did not inform the military authority 0f q journey which the cardinal, deprived of the use of his moturcar, had been obliged to make on foot. In fact, upon the tlimsiest prpteNts heavy fines are inflicted on communcS. The commune uf Puers Was subjected tu fine of 5000 marks because telegraph wire was broken, although the inquiry showed that 1t had given way through wear"
 MercIess Exactiono.
 In addition to such arbitrary, sporadic eXuc,ions, in December 1914, the Germans demanded 40,OOOOOO francs (SS,OOOOO0), q month to be paid by the Belgian provinces jointly.
 Concerning this enormous imposition Cardinal Mercier says, in the Appeal to Truth
 "Now, in December 1914, Belgium was devastated. Contributions of war Imposed on the towns and innumerahle acquisitions in kind had exhausted her. The greater part of the factories were idle, und ill those which were still at work. rrw m"r"ri-ls were. contrary 10

all law, being freJ.y c0mmafdeered.
 Tt was on this impoverished Bel gium, living on foreign charity, that q contribution of nearly 5OO,OOO,OOO francs was imposed
 The German military rules have also made the families responsible for acts committed by or charged against mem- bers as Is shown in the following eX- amples, which are quoted from the Appeal to Truth, cited above:
 "The Belgian government have sent orders to rejoin the army to the mi- litiamen of several classes. All those who receive these orders are strictly forbidden to act upon them In case of uiSObcdiruCe the family of the mililiuman will be held equally responsible"
 Punishment "Witnout Mercy"
 The commander in chief of the Ger. man army in Belgium posted prQcla- nation declaring:
 "The villages where acts uf hostility SIlull De NbllllllltCl be tla' iAAii'''i ''''''' against our troops will bc burned.
 "For all destruction of roads, rail- ways. bridges. etc, ihe villages in the nelghborhoOd of the destruction will be held responsible.
 "The puniShmcntS announced above will be carried out severely and with out mercy. The whole community will be held responsible. Hostages will be taken in large numbers. The heaviest war taxes will be levicd.'
 At the end of the Appeal to Truth Cardinal Mercier says:
 But we cannot say all here, nos quote all.
 If. however, our readers wish for the proof of the accusations , we shall be glad to furnish them. There Is not in our letter, nor in the four annexeS Ito lhe Appeal to Truth, one allegation oi which We have no: the proofs in our rccovds.'

The United States department. Of agri-
culture in the course Of its voluminous
output Of literature has sent out this
announcement Meat and potatoes are
good food combination and may be a
better diet than bread and meat, Pota-
toes at dollar bushel are as cheap as
bread at ten cents for pound loaf, even
when the cost of cooking is added
1t is a thought great enough to take
ones breath away, this bold assertion
that meat and potatoes form a good com
bination, ard the country should be
grateful to the expert who has brought
this fact to the attention OF the public
Because Of its importance one is inclined
to pass lightly over the assertion as tC
the price OF potatoes and bread though
potatoes are not selling for a dollar 4
bushcl nor. is it likely that a pound loa
OF bread can be bought for a dime. Blu
this is a minor matter, what we ar,
thinking Of is the delight with which
dwellers in the country will hail the new
that meat and potatoes are a good foo
combination.
