INDIANS PUTTING

Voodoo Man Has Trailed

nose. From now until October.

a wet blanket finish for ten teams.
but the other six have an even
chance to grab.
The Reds, Giants, Robins, Cleve-
land, Chicago. and Yanks are all
within an anchors heave or each
other. Not since Hector's bark led
the moon choir has such sprint
been torn Off for the edifcation OF
the public at loose.
The West has two teams in the
American League scuffle against one
for the East, which comes right back
and balances it by playing two
Eastern teams against one Western

boys n chance to lose on their mer-

ter down in loose leaf history as the
greatest heart busters that ever

CLEVELAND's CHANCE.
Sympathy in the National League
is divided mostly between the Reds,
Robins, Giants, and the Philly fans.
In the American. most of the bugs
are with Cleveland. That's a town
that sure has grabbed off more than
their pro rata share OF rough luck.
Every time they sniY up the fumes
from a probable pennant it's like a
days outing in a secondhand car.
Sumpin' always happens. The igni-
tion gets full of red ants, the trans
mission gets full OF clinkers or baby
punctures the whole day trying to
teeth on the non-skid tires
Once the Indians were within
poking distance OF the pennant, and
Lajoie gets ptomaine poisoning in
the foot from a sour spike cut. An
other time, Larry struck out with
the pennant run on third base.
That was ono OF the few times Lar
ry ever chopped wood in a pinch. If
it amt this, it's that. And If 1t
amt either. it's both.
STILL STEPPING.
Everybody expected the Indians
to fold up like steamer chair after
the tragic death OF Chapman. But
the boys are still in the middle of
the ring of the circus. They slump
ed for five or six games, but snap
ped out of II pretty. They finish
the shooting on their own private
estate, and it's going to take a lot
OF crow-barring to horn 'em loose
from the crows nest of the league.

Casey Jones Finally
in Baseball

Casey Jones, famed in song
and story as a demon locomo-
tive engineer and chief rooter
for the Cincinnati club, at last
has broke into baseball and Is
delighted thereat. even though
the role be plays is a minor one.
On afternoons when Casey isn't
at the throttle Of one Of the
Pennsylvania big locomotives
pulling trains eastward bound
out of Cincinnati he acts as
official announcer at Redland
field and derives great pleasure
from his work.
Casey is known personally to
about every player in the Ma
tional League, and his chief joy
lies in taking one or two of the
diamond stars in the cab with
him when he is plotting a train
bearing a ball club out of Gin
cinnati.

iEx the night, Immediately after yes
terdays game President Griffith had
his new tarpaulin spread. 1t covers
the diamond completely, and so. un-
less it is raining at game time today
the GrifYs will surely hook up with
the Sox.
Despite the lowering clouds and the
raw. damp breeze out OF the east
goodiy throng of fans turned out to
see the Griffs humble the Red Sox on
Sunday, 5 to 3. The Grins drove Herb
Pennock. the long. graceful southpaw.
from the hill In the NTH. Never from
the beginning had he appeared for
midable, his gracefulness counting
for nothing.
Benny Karr. a big right ht-hander, re.
lieved Pennock. One walk and two
scattered hits were made of him,
with nary a run Karr proved good
relief finger.
COURTNEY BLOWS UP.
Harry Courtney started for the
Grifrs. Acosta ended. Courtney
looked all right, but he exploded in
the sixth and was promptly sent to
the showers in favor of the half-pint
Cuban twirler.
Acosta looked like a million dollars.
In four frames just one scratch hit was
made of his stun, Harry Hooper beat
ing out slow bounce to Harris in
the ninth inning. Never did the Sox
threaten to score while Acosta was
performing, and he was given rous-
ing cheer when he slammed a single
to center in the eighth, giving him
a percentage of 1000 for the day.
The Grifs felt like hitting. They
Boston hurlers and. had they run the
bases with a bit more speed and eau
ton, might have got some more tall
lies. However. they won. didn't they:
What more do you want?
BOBBY ROTH CRASHES.
In the third Judge opened with
pass. going up on Shanks' perfect
sacrifice. Rice neatly singled to lef.,
scoring Judge. and then stole second.
from where he scored when Bobby
Roth crashed a double down the left
field foul line.
The Red Sox came right back In
their half OF the Fourth, though. and
tied the score. Hendryx walked and
Schang singled to center. both OF
them counting when Everett Scott
slammed a triple down the left field
line almost to the fence. Courtney
pulled himself together, and the next
two lads were infeld outs. Pennock
drew a pass. but Harris tossed out
Hooper and the Sox had failed to go
ahead.
The game ended with the last OF
tho fourth. when the Griffs collided
with four blows for three runs.
O'Neill led of with a safe fly to short
center, Hendryx having anchors on
his feet. Gsrrity brutally belted a
single to left and the bases were load
ed when Pennock fell down trying to
field Courtney's bunt, which rolled to
the box.
IN COMES O'NEILL.
Judge drove a long fly out we'll nigh
to the sign board in right. Hooper got
under It In faultless fashion, but in
came ONeill with the f1rst run of the
frame. Shanks dropped a Texas
Lacquer in center and Garrity Tailed
Courtney raced over while Rice was
forcing Shanks with a. bounce to
Scott.
The Red Sox got their last tally
in the sixth O'Scott was hit by a pitch
ed ball and McNally singled to center
The sight OF "Minooka Mike actually
hitting safely caused the dethronement
OF Courtney. Acosta came to his res
cue. Karr drew walk, flling the

BENTON HARBOR, Nich- Sept.
s.-It wns not raining here at
o'clock this morning. but the sky
was overcast and the weather
threatening. Promoter Frtzsammons,
however, reiterated his statement
that the Aght would be held regard

By FRANK G. MENkE.

BENTON IIARBOR, Mich Sept. g.
A large and enthusiastic section OF
the best people in these Middle
Western parts trekked their way to-
day to the 10000 capacity arena
where Jack Dempsey and Billy
Miske were slated to swat each other
with reckless abandon, but remark
able precision.
The unsettled weather OF the night
before and the uncertainty OF condi-
tions through the day did not foil the
crowd in its efforts to pack the sta
dunn.
For Floyd Fitzsimmons, promoter,
had announced: "The bout goes on
barring a cloudburst-at fight time.
And IL that happens the show won't
be called off-just delayed a little
while it clears up. The fighters have
agreed to that condition"
DEMPSEY BIG FAVORITE.
The champion goes into the ring an
almost prohibitive favorite. Amounts
which this morning totalled close to
100000 were begging for Miske tax
crs, even though the set odds of 3h
and to 1 were wagered around that
Dempsey would vanquish his St Paul
adversary.
There has been less betting on this
contest than any in the history of
titular battles in the heavyweight di-
vision. That Is because folks recall
that Dempsey decisively outpointed
Miske in both their previous node
cision clashes.
And since that time Dempsey has
come forward with a cyclonic rush,
has developed the most terrible punch
in ring history-while Miske has been
more or less standing still.
The general belief is that Dempsey
will knock Miske out after y tough
fight. It's the Miske plan to try to
box 1t with Dempsey through the car
ly rounds rather than make the des-
perate effort Of slugging it. AS long
as Miske boXes-as long as he uses
all of his defensive trickery-he has a
fair chance of delaying the arrival of
the Knockout volley. But it's thought
that sooner or latter Dempsey will
corner him. force toe to toe bathing
and add the name of another victim to
his list.
LANGFORD IN PRELIM.
The aged, portly. but still danger
Gus Sam Langford was teamed up
with Bill Tate, the giant sparring
partner of Dempsey, for a six-round
skit. The winner is to be accorded
the privilege of fighting Harry Wills
rounds TO decide some sort of cham
pionship of the universe.
The other preliminary involved Har-
ry Greb, the Pittsburgh rubber ball"
and Chuck Virgins. Both are light
heavyweights and were to go six
rounds to decide some sore of cham
pionship.
And after that Jack Dempsey VS..
Rilly Miske, ten rounds, no decision,
with Jim Dougherty, OF Philadelphia
as the referee.

rur CENSUS AND CONGRESS.

Preliminary reports on tho census have
served to raise In congress question that
comes up with great regularity each time new
enumeration Of tho population Is made. How
large shall the lower house OF congress be?
The Increased representation based on the 1910
enumeration brought the membership of the
house Of representatives. up to 435--a number
too great for efficient and prompt legislative
work.
The present basis or representation is one
representative for each 2l2.OOO population. or
approximately that. II this basis is carried out
the next congress under the now enumeration
win have something like 525 members. There
is not gentleman In either houses of congress
but 10 opposed to any increase IN numbers and
the constructive men OF both houses and both
parties are expressing themselves favoring
= radical reduction instead Of an increase. 1t s
entirely likely however. that precedent will
eventually be followed for precedent in political
matters is all-powertul
Yet every consideration seems TO demand
some action the part OF congress to either
reduce or at least fix final limit to the mem
bcrshlp OF the lower house. II s agreed thpt
tho ideal representation would he $50 members
From the standpoint OF economy here would be

oLp-FASHONED SIMPLICITY.

correspondent writing on the h. c. OF |,
recently observed that It was impossible 60
pick out the members OF wealthy families 10y
the way they dressed, observing that the greatest
display of wealth, far oXtravagaut dress
Is concerned, is 10y those who work for wage.
That is true And where the idea came from
we are at loss TO understand. Because the
dress extravagauizas OF the present era do not
add to the personal charm OF womanhood at all,
by and large the contrary ia true. And we
believe that the man does not live to whose eye
the neat simplicity OF another day does not
appeal
1t may be possible that there some TO
whom the ultra ana costly fashions OF the day
appeal more strongly than the womanly garb
OF simplicity and common sense, but we think
1t would be found on investigation that the APP
peal is TO the worst and not the best. There Is
something about the neatly starched house dress
