Special Dispatch to The Star.
CHICAGO. August 21.-The feature
of the week in politics has been what
is characterized as the mud.slinging
campaign Of Mayor Thompson against
Gov. Lowden and any one else who
dares differ with him politically. 1t
appears that the verbal assaults OF the
mayor during the past month were
only preliminaries to his campaign,
and he did not let go with his big
guns until this week. The mayor Is
extremely personal in his campaign,
branding .Lowden as q traitor to the
people and man who should seek
Gods forgiveness"
In his occasional replies Gov.
Lowden has been dignified and avoided
personalities as much as possible. He
has shot his ammunition at the "sys-
tenn" that Thompson represents rather
than at the Individual He has painted
the menace that in his judgment
threatens Illinois with the invasion OF
the state by the Thompson-Luudin
forces of Chicago and is savage IN his
attacks on the Thompson platform:
which he brands as socialistic ana
revolutionary.
Make Issue of Utilities Rulings.
The Thompson forces with Len
Small for governor and Representa-
tive Frank L. Smith for United States
senator have, without question, created
a certain hostility to Lowden through
out the state by making the state
utilities commission their big issue.
There are few places In Illinois
where the commission has not increased
rates of some kind-transportation
| telephone, gas or electricity-and by
charging the Lowdep commission with
making unfair increases and placing
| "a great burden on the people" she

make Roadway and now Is claiming
victory all over the state
THE issue has gone home. and we
are going to sweep the state" said
Representative Smith to your cor
respondent. 1.-THE utilities issue is

(By JOE MASTERSON.)

By welding wicked stick with which he cased six of the ten goals dor Bridgeport, Hart, second rusher on the local club, stood out last night as the bright particular star of Joe team at the Casino where Bridgeport downed Worcester, 10 to sn an ex- cling league game. digger Higgins, heralded as the human flash on etrafes. played a highly creditabe game, but Hart's work outshone the visiting star so much that the visit dng speedster looked only ordinary.
 One of the best things about Hart's play is that he can shoot them from either side He doesn't have to turn around to get good crack at the ball 11e can hit it from any ~tngle. Last night in the first period his best work TOW after Mulligan had put the first 'one in the net. These gave Bridge r4oort a score of to 0, and a lead which Worcester found hard to over- -come.
 Strange as it. may seem Goal Tender Lovegreen caged a goal for Hhe visitors in the second period. One O1 the visitors took a shot at the cage and in trying to get it out of Hhe danger zone the ball rolled down Iovegreen's chest and nestled in the cASe so that Worcester was given credit for goal they never caged. However, and while it made no par 41cular difference in the contest last night the goal might have decided a close game. t-

Possibility Of Tie
 InRace Not Remote
Cleveland Leading American League Today By Half a Game-Figures Show Almost Anything Can
 Happen In Pennant Chase A
By H. c HarniIton.)

New York, Sept. 24-The possi- bility of a tie in the American League race is not remote. Today Cleveland leads the league by half a game over Chicago, following the artistic drub- ping given the Indians yesterday by the White Sox. If the Sox win today and tomorrow they will lead the will have five more games to play. Cleveland and Chicago schedules both call for battles with the Detroit and St Louis clubs to wind up the season. Four will be played in Detroit and four in St. Louis by Cleveland. Chi cago plays three games in St. Louis and two with Detroit in Chicago. If Chicago takes both remaining games with Cleveland and then fin ishes the season with a clean record the result would show 99 won and 55 lost. If Cleveland loses both games to Chica go and then sweeps the field lost.
 If such a thing comes to pass the Tanks would be out of the running but should Chicago and Cleveland each drop two games after the Sox have taken three straight in Cleve- land, and New York should then run out it's string of seven without a de- feat then the three teams would be locked in a triple tie.
 The procedure in event of a tie would be left up to the American League, which probably would order g. post season series between the tied teams to decide the championship. A tie never has occurred in a major league championship race.
 New York once won a pennant .ap- parently in the National League. but

John S. Smith. chairman of the New Jersey Boxing Commission, is highly pleased over the fact that his state has been selected as a site for the CarpentierLevinsky bout, as the following statment made by him yes- terday shows:
