Brooklyn M a kes It Fourteen Straight Tigers Trim Indians Twice Getting 20 Runs in One Game. Senators Keep Ad- vantage.
By The Associated Press.

By The Associated Press.
 New York, Sept. 6. - Noted for their fighting qualities and always playing at top speed when they feel their opponents hot breath on their necks, the New York Giants today maintain their league lead in the tri-cornered battle for first hon. ors in the National league by dou- ble victory over the hapless Phil lies.
 , Brooklyn, with the pennant in sight, stretched its winning spurt in- to 14 straight games by, defeating Boston, but saw the Giant lead in crease from three to six points.
 Howard Baldwin, recently recalled from Toledo, twirled for the Giants in their first victory which was close, 6 to 5. The fourth inning was unique in that Philadelphia scored three tallies, all due to cir cult clouts. Fletchers men con tinually threatened the league lead of the Giants in that game, the con- test ending with two men on bases and a long hit needed to put the game on ice.
 The tension of the first contest must have been a tonic for the New Workers for in the second game, seven inning affair because of the rain, they ran amuck and tallied 15 times to but for Philadelphia. Kelly and Jackson hit home runs with the bases filled. McQuillan. the Giant boxman, had an easy time and held the Phillies safe.
 Continuing their sensational play of the last two weeks, the Brook lyn Robins defeated Boston, to O. Rube Ehrhardt, Manager Robin sons discovery, acquired the con- secutive winning habit and hung up his fourth straight victory. He outpitched the veteran Barnes, hold ing the Braves to five binges.
 Cincinnati, fighting for a berth in the first division, conquered the Cubs, 3 to 1, in the fastest played game of the season. The contest consumed but seventy minutes of the players time. The victory puts the Reds one point behind the fourth-place Chicago team.
 Pittsburgh had to stand by help lessly because of rain while the Giants and Robins were increasing their lead over the Pirates at the expense of weaker teams.
 The Tygers made a determined bid in tn American league to close the gap between them and the Senators and Yankees by trimming the Indians twice. Detroit wor the first contest, to 8, and fgura lively ran themselves ragged ir the second game, tallying 20 time while Cleveland scored once. Thei 20 to 1 victory gives the Tyger the honors for the season in hie tallies for one game.

F|RPO'S ATTITUDE
 HAND|CAPS HIM
Worry Over Deportation Pro.
 ceedinSs May Lose Fight
By JOE WILLIAMS

Luis Firpo win go into his fight with Harry Wills at Boyle's Thirty Acres Sept II mentally and physi- cally under par, and it is no cinch that he will win, despite a prepon- derance of expert opinion to the con- trary.
 If it weren't for the knowledge that the folks back home have their idolatrous eyes focused on his bulg- ing biceps, the Argentinean would fling his other blue shirt in hand bag and board the next tub for that dear old Buenos Aires.
 It isn't that Firpo feels he made an indiscreet contract in agreeing to battle the solemn senegambian. or that he fears the outcome of the fight.
 Firpo has just about crashed un- der the steady hammering of re- ligious and government authorities who are seeking his deportation be- cause of his simultaneous arrival in this country with a blond senorita.
 As much as Firpo values the suc- culent American dollar it would suit him just as well if the fight were off.
 Mental Attitude Wrong
 Firpos mental attitude is all wrong for a fighter who is about to step into the ring with a formidable opponent. Always he asks What's the news from Washington ." Never does he ask, What's the news from Wills' camp?"
 This attitude is plainly reflected ir his training. There is no fire or fury in his work against Bill Tate or Jack Townsend, eolored sparring partners and as a result he has looked stale spiritless and unimpressive. The customers who gathered a the foot of the rugged Adirondack! to see him work were unrestrainet and. at times, even coarse in theil critical observations.
 They laughed boisterously at th' l bulls awkward swings and sprinkle the air with raucous shouts when h' ran flush into a right or left hanc swing, which was often.
 Plenty of Raspberries
 Such delightful drolleries as Ii you're a fghterg I'm matchmaker, and "how did you ever knock Demp scy out of the ring" rose from th' rlngside to greet the puffing giant a he paved miscellaneously at his pait help.
 With Firpo's mental morosenes has come a sharp let-down in hi physical preparation. l was with hin for four days and not once did h don the woolens and go out on tn road for a matutina! iauni. One da he slept until mid afternoon, dininI in bed. Another day he did no emerge from his cottage until o'clock, the time Of his public spar ring.
 Naturally. l'irpo's trainers ar alarmed. sull they are hopeful. The point out that be is moody, like mos Latirs
 The fight is still several days of Firpo may yet snap out of his stnpo and toe the mark in an eager. bel ligernnt franc of mind. If he doesn't, the next heavyweight championship match will be betwee Jack Dempsey, in this corner, gentle men, and Harry Wills, in that COT ner.

Bishops and Bayonets

Bishop Nicholson, of the Methodist Church,
has come out against the pacifst movement in
his organization. In an interview the worthy
bishop says:
"If the flag is fired on l will be in the
forefront of those demanding its defense"
If we understand the viewpoint of the paci-
fists this is exactly what they complain Of
the fact that bloody-mouthed prelates and
politicians are always willing to be in the front
ranks of those DEMANDING defense, but
that their military ardor is satisfied with this
vicarious method of participating in the
slaughter
The casualty list of the last imperialist
struggle contained but few names of those
demanding defense; it was the dupes of the
demanders that paid the price of death, dis
ease and misery.
We do not take the pacifist position; on the
contrary we consider it danger to the work
ingclass faced with the armed might of the
capitalist state, but we heartily join with the
embattled bible students in urging that bishops
and bankers, employers and editors OF war
mongering sheets-the whole tribe of capital
istic panderers-be considered first line troops
in the next war brought on by clashing inn
perialist interests. There is little hope of this
desirable result occurring, but it is interesting
to visualize the panic that would ensue among
the big-paunched, soft-handed dispensers of
advice to the workers to go and get them
selves killed gladly whenever the ruling robber
band sends out word to its lackeys that its
wealth and power are in danger.
Bishops will talk enthusiastically about
bayonets when there is no danger of their own
robes being punctured, but the peaceful mes
sage of the master will be quickly called to
mind if there is a remote possibility of their
coming in contact with the business end.
Under such circumstances there doubtless
would be remarkable unanimity in the agree
ment of the church militant to surrender even
the front line position in the ranks of those
who were simply demanding defense of the
flag" and other emblems and institutions of
modern capitalism.
