The difference between the leaders
In the American League race when
the final compilation is made is not
likely TO be more than five games Al
the most Offhand, considering the
relative standings today, five games
seems very liberal estimate II il
likely to stand, unless either Wash
ington or Philadelphia cracks com
pletely, or unless one or the other Is
riddled by injuries.
Both Washington and Philadelphis
will do about alike against Boston. in
all probability, and as Washington
has little more Boston hash coming
than Philadelphia has the chance.
are that the Nationals will pick M
in that quarter
On general principles Washington
also may get little the better nf
remaining exchanges with New York
On that basis. the American League
race is almost certain to be decided
on relative successes in the West
that and success in the interleader
series
The unusual part Of II is that the
Western teams have not been playing
with the success they have had in
some years past against the league
leaders. Washington has been thrash
ing them a bit harder than the Yanks
ana other leaders were wont to do in
wears gone by, but. despite that fact
they haven't been able to get away
with as much pelf in that quarter
as the Athletics have.
That shows how much of q team
this Athletic aggregation is. If 1t
can play a trif1e better against the
Western half than Washington-and
Washington is playing better against
| the West than some championship
teams have played-the Athletics can
not be the aggregation Of false alarms
that they were pictured before the
season began.
1t is in the cards that the Detroit
team in particular, whether the Ty-
gers win a pennant or not, may beat
the Washingtons out of one-a nd
Washington had better ride Its tallest

GRIFFMEN CAN TAKE
LEAD In RACE TODAY

UTICA. y. Y. July 21.-It is pos
sible for the Nationals TO regain first
place in the American Leagu race
today. although they are not playing
a championship game. In the event
the MaCkmen are defeated in St. Louis
their percentage would fall to .644.
while the champions figures remain
al 64S. A victory for the Athletics
would increase their present lead by
half game. while rain or a tie con-
test would keep them three percent
age points ahead of the HarriSmen.
Rice and Scott fattened their bat
ting averages yesterday, each socking
three singles. One of Rice's was
bunt down the third base line made in
the fifth frame when Sam was trying
to duck an inside pitch.
Jameson made d sparkling catch in
the fifth to keep a bingle from Scott.

hand while sprinting toward the stand.

OREGON APPEALS
BAN ON SCHOOL LAW
Takes Enforced Attendance
at Public Institutions to
Supreme Court.

Oregon today filed in the Supreme
Court, through its Attorney General
Isaac H. Van Wrinkle. brief in sup
port OF its appeal from the decision
of the Federal District Court Of Ore
gon, enjoining enforcement or the
compulsory education law. The liti-
cation is the first test to reach the
Supreme Court on the right OF states
to require the education Of children
in public schools.
The law which was adopted by
vote OF the people in November, 1922
was attacked as unconstitutional by
the Society of the Sisters of the Holy
Name of Jesus and Mary and the Hill
Military Academy. 1t proposed thar
children between the ages of 8 and Ii
must attend public schools, and pro
hibited their instruction in paroch1al
or private schools.
The points made by the State in Its
appeal are that the fourteenth amend
ment does not restrict the power ol
any States to enact laws necessary 10
promote the health, safety, peace
morals, education and general WEI
fare Of the people; that charters
previously granted by the State to
educational institutions are subject
to annulment under the police powers
of the State; that the State may exer-
else unlimited supervision over mi
nors as to their education, employ
ment, etc.
That the statute under attack does
not interfere with the religious lib
erty Of any one; that the American
people have determined that there
shall be an absolute and unequivocal
separation of church and State and
that public schools shall be main
tained and conducted free from in
fluences in favor of any religious or
ganization.

selection. The costuming in the ex-
quisite French scene was fine and the
two songs by Clara Hoffstetter, a

lightful. The group of comical old
