The elimination series in the Phila.
delphia Baseball Association holds the
center of the. independent baseball
schedule this evening, although there
are number of other important con-
tests on the layout.
O the series clashes two are carded in
West Philadelphia. The two leaders
are matched IN one and in thc other
the two tailcndcrs come together. The
Shanahan- Stonehurst contest will draw
an enormous throng TO Forty eighth and
Walnut streets for victory for Stone
hurst will give that team the right to
represent West Philadelphia in the
finals.
On the other hand triumph for
Shanahan will make it imperative for
! Stonchurst TO win its remaining game
to finish in tie with Jim Bonner's $
clan. These, teams are the real rivals
of the section they represent. The con-
/ test promises to be krcnly fought. Tom
! Friday will, in all probability, face
! Manning in the crucial test.
Another tic will be sundcrpd In the
northern district when Bridesburg and
! North Phillies collide at Fourth and
Wingohocking streets. Both have split
even in four games played and the win :
ner has n fine chance to tie or even
nose )obson out or first place.
To Sunder Tie
Ray Steinader will, in all probability,
draw the pitching job for the Phils,
although Beloff or even Robinson have
been delivering in wonderful style. Raw
Kephnor will likely be the choice OF
Billy Whitman. The North Phils ex.
pect the largest crowd of the season,
and the game will start at s 40 L. NJ
in order to play the full nine innings.
The other series game in West Phila .
delphia brings together Philadelphia
Terminal and Lit Brothers on the store
boys field at Fifty fourth and Elm
wood avenue. 1t will be the las,
championship contest for Barney
Slaughter aggregation. With Otto
pitching, he expects to turn the rail
readers back. Both clubs are out ol
the running as It is up to Shanahan OF
StOnehurst as to which will win.

HARRIS HARD LUCK

4 month ago both the Phils and AS

ton exists today and in the case of the
Athletics after one of their best months
Of the season. The Phils had one of
their worst.
Seems that the Boston teams play the
same kind of ball as our favorities.
For instance. during the month from the
tenth Of August to this morning the
Athletics won fifteen and lost sixteen
games and the Red SoX. just to show
that they were every bit as good as
Rommcl and his mates. captured four
teen and lost one more. The result is
two. game lead for seventh place ac-
| cOrding TO the averages of this morning
and n two and half game lead just
a month ago.
The Phillics and Braves are also
| running neck and neck. Over the same
period the Phils captured but twelve
out Of thirty-three games and the
| Braves eleven out Of twenty nine. This
morning the Broad and Huntington
streets aggregation has a one and hnlf
game lead over the Bpantown bunch.

WOMEN'S CLUBS SET
FORTH THEIR VIEWS

Resolution: That the Montana Fed.
GRAFTON of Women's clubs show its
continued interest in the Elinor c,
Walsh Memorial hospital at Galen
by maintaining a memorial hospital
committee, whose duty shall be to
visit the institution from time to
time and report conditions at each
general federation meeting.
Resolved: That we urge organiza-
ton along county lines as a means
of securing greater efficiency in our
work.
Whereas, it is the ~concensus of
opinion in the medical associations
that childhood is the time when tu-
b~erculosis is most easily acquired and
most readily cured, and since Mon
tana has made no provisions for the
care for her tuberculous children; Be
it resolved, that the Montana FEEDER
alton of Women's Clubs pledge it's
support for an adequate appropria-
ton for a building and maintenance
at Galen a pavilion for tuberculosis
children.
Educational
Whereas, the State Federation of
Women's clubs recognizes the SER
iousness of the public school situa-
ton, and particularly the critical f.
nancial condition of many school dis
tricts and county high schools, due
chiefly to the large burden of inan-
cial support required of local com
munities under our present laws;
We therefore resolve that we endorse
the principle of state aid and will
work to that end by supporting the
educational measures proposed and
by doing all we can to eliminate the
great inequalities at present existing
in tax burdens and the opportun-
tiles of children in the public schools.
Whereas, there is a general lack
ing of the truer appreciation Of the
obligations of citizenship, especially
thse times in which every eff
fort to impress the seriousness of
duty should be fostered: Be it
resolved, that Montana Federation of
Women's clubs encourage the patri-
otto celebration of our national holt
days in a most fitting n and if
possible conduct classes in citizen T,

GOING INTO

One of the latest communities to
start out on a new stride in deciding
to work together is the Be Square
Community Club, whose headquar-
tiers is the Harvey school house To-
Gated about eight miles north of
B~ainville. This community with w.
E. Irish as president and Mrs. Chas.
Caldwell as secretary, is starting out
with a good membership and a good
program.
At the present time the president
is in the state Of Wisconsin buying
up a car load of high grade Guernsey
cattle. This community expects, as
they develop into the dairy industry,
to do some very constructive work
in pit silos and COW testing as well
as following a well balanced con
structive program adopted in other
communities on pure seed, tillage
work, disease control, insect and pest
eradication, boys clubs and recre-
ational work.
