f REMNANT RACE
BY DAVIS J. WAL SH,
I. NJ. S. Sports Editor.

CIV York, Sept. 23.-It seems al
st a certainty now that there will
e an all-New York series for the
world championship. Today ths
Yanks have a lead of IL games
and the Giants are in the van BY
4 IL games.
The Yanks have six more games
to play and the Giants have ten con
tests on the schedule.
All that the New York teams will
have to do to clinch the pennants
in their respective leagues Will be
to win half of their remaining con
tests, even though the contenders
the Browns and Pirates win all of
their remaining games, five and
seven respectively.
The Pirates would have had q
chance had they been able to win
the final game from the Giants. But
the garrison ninth inning finish that
the Giants made snatching victory
from apparent defeat, knocked the
skids from under the Buccaneer
crew.
The Pirates task seems hopeless.

The Yanks have two more games
with the Indians, a series with the
Red Sox and single contest with
the Senators. If they cannot win
the necessary three games to clinch
the pennant from these clubs then
the baseball dope is wrong.

The Giants begin a series with
the Cardinals today. After that they
meet the Phillies and Braves. They

winning the necessary five games as
the Yanks will have in coping the
necessary three. If the Giants win
five of their remaining contests and

WALLACE REID A
GHOST BREAKER m
A FINE PICTURE

We have had strike breakers. trust
busters. broncho busters and brute
breakers; but now we have "The
Ghost Breaker" new form OF hero
which Wallace Reid Is making pop
ular In his new Paramount starring
vehicle OF the same name, which
Manager Tunstlll announces as his
feature attraction at the Rialt0 the.
atre next Monday with Lila Lee,
leading woman. and Walter HERS
featured with the star.
The picture, as the title implies, is
ghost story. II is not a "l,nock
'em down and drag 'em out" melo-
drama, but high class entertainment
with adventure. mystery. intrigue,
suspense, romance and creepy scenes
with weird lighting effects in an old
Spanish castle-all the elements that
go to make up good melodrama and
cause the spectators to sit on the
edges OF their seats and watch
breathiessly each new development.
Mr.. REID mas the active role of
Warren Jarvis, young American
who shoots man who has followed
him from Kentucky to get him in
qiarrel resulting from revival of
an ancient feud between the two fam.
lilies, and is then forced to flee New
York to get away from the police.
Seeking refuge In another room of
the hotel where the shooting occur
red, he tells his story to the fair oc.
cupant, who proves to be Marchesa
Maria Theresa. She is young
Spanish heiress who has come to
New York to find the plans of an
ancient Spanish castle on her estate,
which of late has been haunted by
ghosts. who have become so bold as
to spirit away her brother Carlos,
boy of ten. Warren offers to help
her.
This brings into full swing scenes
filled with dramatic action and gen.
uine thrill. There is plenty of relish
able comedy, supplied by Walter
HERS, who as colored valet, does
some remarkable feats in the Spanish
castle when the ghost hunt begins.
There isn't dull moment in the
photoplay, and each of the support
ing roles, played by Arthur Carewe,
Frances Raymond and J. f. MacDon-
aid, are in capable hands.
