CHANCE PLANS FOR
 BOYS TITLE GAME
Championship Will Be Decided
 Next Thursday Afternoon

The baseball game between the Paradise Park and Washington teams to decide the championship of the Boys League, will be played Thursday afternoon at 3 o'clock at Walnut Hill park instead of Tues day afternoon, it was decided today at meeting of the committee of Rotarians and League Manager Dwight Skinner, who have been dl- recting the destinies of the league through it's first season.
 Play in the league finished last Friday but the Paradise Park and Washington teams came in tied for first place and Mir. Skinner decided that the game would be played off tomorrow afternoon. This decision was reached because of the fact that the league has been playing on Tuesdays and Fridays and as tomor- row was the next successive playing day, it was decided on as the best day on which to play the game. Because there arc q large number of the members of the Rotary club who would like 10 witness the con- test but will be unable to do so on Tuesday, the committee and the league manager today agreed 10 have the game played Thursday instead. The committee plans to make this a red letter day in the history of | baseball in this city. Arrangements are being made to have the Boys club drum corps lead parade from the Y. NJ. c. A. building to Walnut Hin park. In the parade will be the members of both teams, members of the Rotary club and others interest ed in the outcome of the fight for the 1 pennant.
 In order to complete plans for this | occasion. more time was deemed necessary SO that President F. H

Mexican Congress Will
 Consider Oil, Land, Labor

Mexico City, Aug. 31 R-Legisla- tion regarding labor. oil and the di- vision Of land among the people are the most important subjects sched- uled for consideration by the new session Of the Mexican congress opening tomorrow and continuing to Dec. 31.
 American interests may possibly be importantly affected by the en- actment of oil legislation. The en- tire Mexican political situation is concerned in the subjects of labor legislation and also in the question of land laws, involving the govern ment's agrarian policy of distribut- ing among the hitherto landess masses of the people tho great Iand- cd estates which have been held by the comparative few. It is the con- viction of President Gales and of most of the present leaders that the agrarian policy must be fulfilled.

 Will Go To New York.
 From present indications. there will be no world series games in New York city. A trip to watch one of these games was another incentive for the boys to play ball. The com mittee in charge decided that the boys would have a trip 10 New York to see two big league teams in ac- ton even though the game will not be a world series affair, The ten tative date selected was October 4, when the Yankees will play the Ath- letics. If this date Is decided on, the | members of the team winning Thurs days game will be taken to New York as the guests of the Rotary club and will be given seats in the grand stand to watch the Yankees and Athletics fight 1t out.
 This will be practically as good as seeing one of the world series games because of the fight that the Phia delphia team Is making with Wash, ington for the pennant,

 q don't think he knows he is working for a corporation"
 Seeing a priest coming on the platform. the governor added:
 "The mayor would be surprised If he knew that the church itself was 2 corporation,
 "He made a great bluff about how he's going to take off his gloves and call a spade a spade. He doesn't know a spade from a bod"
 As to the mayors statements labout the governor living at the Riltmore, the governor said that by statute the state had to pay for his hash and ham and eggs.
