My pitchers will last through the
month of September better than the
pitchers of the New York team, and
| Will bank on that. The Cincinnati
pitchers proved they were high class
finishers in 1922, and do not over
look that fact, for it's going to be
mighty important when we get into
the final stages of this race.
Has Plenty of Courage.
"If we can drive the Giants down so
that they have been defeated as many
times as we have been, we will turn
on the way to victory. Give them
the same number of defeats that We
have--and there is precious little be
tween us now-and we Will peel off
the victories that will strike home.
With my team / am no more afraid
to stack up against the western
teams than against the eastern, ana
anyhow, McGraW must do the same
thing with his team. If he has bad
week and We come alongside of him.
We will pass him. And If We do, We
are going to stay ahead. / think we
are as good finishers as the Giants
and the whole thing will have to stay
unsettled as long as we hold our
own as we are doing now"
The Giants have five games to play
in the west, with Pittsburgh and
Chicago. If they should lose three
of them they would drop about ten
points in percentage. 1t VIII take
more than that to beat them out of
the championship, unless the Cincin-
natl club has picked up in per
centage one and one-half points to
the Giants one. 1t is true that Gin
cinnati has been gaining proportion
ateIy better than that. but unless the
team is prepared to make the same
phenomenal finish as was made by the
Boston Nationals in 1914, 1t is not IN
even bet between New York and
Cincinnati.
Defeats Count Heavily.
Defeats count more in champion
ship races than victories. That al
ways sounds absurd when it is writ
ten, but il is true. The further You
go in a championship race the
greater the necessity that you have
as few defeats as possible. They eat
UP percentage like a horse devouring
oats.
You can gain three points by
victory and lose six by defeat.
Every wise manager knows that the
defeats are the problem his team
must master. He accepts the victor
les as a matter of fact, as a part of
the game. as a part of the campaign,
but the defeats are a definite setback.
There is a net difference or nine or
ten points involved all of the time
between victory and defeat. some
times it is more than that. 1t isn't
the number of victories that wins
base ball pennant. but the percentage
of victories as against the whole
number of games played. And 1t IS
the percentage which the fans often
overlook and the manager never over
looks.

The RIGHT OF THE STATE

or sect has the right to place its au-
thority over the state in the matter
of compulsory education in our pub
lie schools, for when they attempt to
take this prerogative from the gov
eminent then we no longer have a
free government with the power to
insure the protection of our rising
generation.
with religious discussions we have
nothing to do. Masonry grants to all
men the right of religious liberty, as
each of us insists on his own right of
conscience and form of religious wor-
ship, but we do claim and insist that
our government shall be left free
without religious dictation to exer-
else control over the education Of the
child, that the true democracy estab-
lished by our forefathers may 60 up
ward and onward, and that our future
citizens may be thoroughly imbued
with the spirit of patriotism and 10y
atty, so that all our people will have
the same opportunities for knowledge
to fit them for their duties as citizens
of our country"

The state in America has the right
to compel the parent to educate the
child, and the fact that private
schools instead of public schools have
been allowed as a privilege and not
as a right, means that when this
privilege is abused it certainly can
be withdrawn, declared Ford Van
Hosen, deputy grand master, Ma
sonic Grand Lodge of Iowa, at its
annual meeting in Sioux City this
month. He said in part:
"In this country the right of &e
children Of the state to receive at the
hands of the safe an elementary edu-
cation is almost as firmly rooted in
our system of government as are the
guarantees of protection to life and
liberty and safety of persons and
property.
"There are now agencies in ou1
country that attempt to subvert the
rights guaranteed by our laws AMI
constitution, and even the rights of
the parents themselves in debating
the education of our children by say
ing that education is none of the
states business Surely no church
