Cubs and Athletics All but
In With Coveted
laureIs.
GIANTS ARE ELIMINATED
Leaders Out of SIumps for
Stretch Battles.
BY GEORGE KIRKSEY
United Press stan Correspondent

NEW YORK, Sept. 3.-Swinging
into the home stretch, the Chicago
Cubs and Philadelphia Athletics are
in position to clinch the pennants
In the major leagues ten days before
the close Of the season Sunday,
Oct. 6.
1t is quite possible they will re-
move all but slender mathematical
chance separating them from the
championships within the next
seven or eight days.
All other contenders in each
league have been eliminated from
the race except the Pittsburgh Pi-
rates and the New York Yankees.
TremedOus Leads
The Cubs hold 1919 game lead
over the Pirates and need only l6
victories in 81 games to clinch the
National league pennant regardless
Of what Pittsburgh does.
The Athletics hold a 1872 game
lead over the Yankees and need only
Is victories in q games to clinch
the American league pennant re-
CARELESS of what New York does.
Connie Mack's crew delivered a
staggering blow to the Yankees
hopes of making even a fighting
finish by taking two games from the
worlds champions Monday before
an aggregate crow dof 1000. $4,000
seeing the morning game and $1,000
the afternoon game.
McGrawmen Removed
The Clans definitely were put out
Of the race Monday when the
Phtll.es won the second game of a
double-header. If the Giants should
win all their remaining games, they
could not win the pennant even if
the Cubs lost all of their remaining
games.
The st. Louis Browns and Cleve-
land Indians also have lost even
mechanical chance of tying for the
American League pennant.
If the Yankees win twenty out
Of their remaining twenty-seven
games. the Athletics need only six
victories in twenty seven to clincl
the flag.
If the Pirates win twenty out of
their remaining twenty-eight games,
the Cubs need only eight out of
twenty-seven games to clinch the
flag.
Both major league leaders ap-
parently have recovered from their
worst slumps of the season.

HOOVER POLICY
TOWARD STATES
STIRS INTEREST
Relationship With Federal
Government Changed
by President.

BIZ ScriDps-H OtCdrd Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, Sept. 3.-Con-
gressmen returning here after two
months in their home states feel
that one of the most important de-
velopments of the summer has been
a growing indication that President
Hoover intends to modify to a
marked degree the relationship
existing in recent years between
federal and state governments.
State officials in all parts of the
country are watching this develop
ment with keen interest.
While in the past there have been
demands from many quarters that
the federal government cease en-
croaching on states rights and re-
store some of the prerogatives al
ready taken, the same men who
have held this point Of view are
pausing now to consider events of
the recent past and wonder what
their practical effect will be.
Costly to States
The interior department has an
nounced that Indian children will be
sent to public schools hereafter, in
stead of to Indian schools. Excel
lent reasons are given to show that
this will benefit the children. But
Indian schools have been built and
maintained by the federal govern
ment The states will have to bear
the expense of educating these chill
dren in the public schools.
Transfer of public lands to eleven
western states is another case in
which the question has arisen. The
lands are good only for grazing, and
until considerable sums are spent
on them they will not be much good
for that purpose.
The federal government has held
these lands until they were depleted
by unwise grazing. Transferring them
to the states now will call for heavy
expenditures by state governments.
Expense Is Important
President Hoover has set out to
solve the problem of oil conservation
by state rather than federal agen-
cies. He has announced that he
favors state rather than federal
regulation of utilities.
Finally, there is the Wickersham
letter, which, if it represents the
views of the President to any de-
gree whatsoever, indicates that in
the future much of the burden of
enforcing prohibition may be shifted
to state governments.
There has been no indication from
Washington that any of these poll
cies were being undertaken as a
matter of federal economy. Still,
with state officials, the matter of ex-
pense can not fail to carry consider
able weight.

The Times winner.
Some of the lineups already
looked over have plenty of power
and are sure to be at least near
to the ten-man team Ruth names.
Entries closed everywhere in Ruth's
all-star contest last Saturday at
midnight, and owing to the fact
Labor day was a holiday. The Times
has yet to count all the entries.
The chances are some will be dis
qualified for not mailing in time to
be post marked before Saturday
midnight. The many fans who
obeyed the rules on this score must
be protected.

One of the lovclicst things to b" heard in Young Nowheres," the First National and Nitaphone pro duction starring Richard Barthel- ness which is at the Straid thcatcr today and Saturday, is a Christmas carol sung by an unseen church choir.

"DISRAELI" AT CAPITOL

We doubt whether there will he another picture this season or many seasons to come that will equal "Disraeli,' the screen version of the famous stage play produced by Warner Brothers with George Arliss in the leading ole and at the Capi- tol today and saturday. as an all talllie. AIr. Arliss is a great actor. There is q power and subtlety to his interpretations that is amazing. To watch him in the role of I)israoli, the remarkable statesman who be- came Prime Minister of England, $ to know the thrill of witnessing something that is powerfully dra- matic.
 The cast supporting Mr. Arliss i@ an unusually good one. Florence Arliss plays Lady Bcaconsfjeld. Dis raelis wife. Joan Bennett is beau tiful as Lady Carissa and gives q commendable performance. Anthony Bushell, David Florence. Ivan Simp- son and Doris Lloyd all deserve special mention for their good work.
 The screen story follows the stage play that made such a tremendous hit. It deals with one of the most mclodramatic and romantic periods in the life of Disraeli
 As an added attraction Eddie Cantor will be offered in "Iiegficld', Midnight Frolic,"
 Beginning Sunday for four day: the Capitol will offer George Ban croft in his new all-talking actior melodrama "The Mighty"

HQME.FROM 2 YEARS
 IN CARIBBEAN SEA.
C. P. 0. Smith and Family Re
 turn From Virgin Islands

After two years spent in the storm swept Virgin Islands. none the worse for experiences with earth qualles, hurricanes and sandstorms, Chief Petty Officer Thomas J. Smith, L. s. N., Mrs. Smith and their son, Thomas. Jr., have arrived here for a months vacation.
 Mir. Smith, a native of this city, will complete 1G years in Uncle Sans sea forces in the early part of the year, at wseich time he will be eligible for pension. He has re- linquished the post of chief store keeper at the Virgin Islands. and when he returns to service he will be assigned to the detachment on duty ct Panama.
 The smiths have been located in the lower portion of the group of islands, about four hours from Por- to Rico. The most serious of the re- cent storms required all of the resi- dents to remain indoors while heavy gales battered buildings about and uprooted trees.
 Mr. Smith brought back with him two German police dogs, a parrot and several canary birds which he raised while on navy duty.
