We might with all fairness ask this same ques-
ton regarding the car lines of any one of several
hundred cites in the United States where the peo-
pie have been called upon to consider this same
condition.
There is nothing new, exceptional or exuaordl-
nary about our local situation. 1t is simply the gen.
era condition confronting the street railway indus
Try throughout the country and is one of the recon-
struction problems which we must face. In giving
it consideration we should realize that it is MA
TIONAL and NOT LOCAL matter and in seek
ing a solution we must look beyond local conditions.
We believe that the people of Washington are
just as anxious to be fair in their decision as are the
people of other cities We fully appreciate how
hard it is for them to realize the true conditions.
It is hard for us to realize them the painful
fact IS these conditions are here and, being here,

they must be met and our present and prospective

Some persons have seen fit to crticiSe our recent
petition because failed to ask for specific kind
INTENTIONAL as we felt that the people being equally
interested and knowing condition would give us the
relief in such form would work the least hardship.
That you may get some idea of the magnitude
of the problem which you are called upon to solve
and that you may be aided in your own solution,
we have reproduced below some very interesting
statistics. The name of each city is on record in
our office and will gladly be shown to any person
interested (Space alone prevents us from listing
them here.)

Important Baseball Series
Starts Today in New York;
Giants Meet Cincinnati
By Associated Press.

New York, Aug. 1S. The most
important series of the National
League pennant race thus far this
season began here to-day when Gin
cinnati, leading New York by four
and one-half games, met the Giants
in the first of three successive dou-
bleheaders. The two teams have
alternated in the lead almost from
the start of the season, when Brook
lyn set the pace for a short tim.
Moran's men, who have not en-
countered n losing streak, have been
more successful than their eastern
rivals during the past few weeks,
gradually widening the gap be-
tween first and second places. To
wipe out the Reds lead, McGraw' S
men must win five of the six con-
tests.
The Reds and Giants have broken
even in twelve games. in which the
latter outscored their opponents AZ
runs to Sc. Ruether and Salee each
have won two out of three with
New York, Eller one in three, while
Luque had a victory and Fisher Il
defeat. Barnes of the Giants, who
won his tenth straight game yester-
day, took two out of three from
Cincinnati, Benton was successful
three times in five games and Toney
met defeat in his contest.
