Mitchell Throws Down the
Gauntlet

Atty. Gen. William d. Mitchell was a democrat un-
fl the year 1916. IN that year he turned republican
and cast lis ballot against the reelection Of woodrow
wilson. He has been counted as a regular republican
since that year. He is said to be one Of the ablest Of
American lawyers. He has voiced disapproval OF an
effort to make more drastic the law allowing search OF
privsf dwellings, in liquor cases. In a sharp letter to
the chairman o. the senate committee on District Of
Go,umh.a affairs, the attorney general opposed a pro-
vision ia the bill by Sen. Howell G) which would al

CUBS SEEK REVENGE
IN TILTS WITH BUGS

By the Associated Press
CHICAGO, August 26.--After their
day Of rest, william Wrigley's Cubs
had 9 double aim today as the Pitts
burgh Pirates sailed into Chicago to
open two-gane series.
Inc f1rSt aim was to protect or in
crease their fiye-game lead over the
New York Giants, and ne other was
to obtain revenge for the way the
Pirates treated them in their last series
In Chicago. The Cubs won the FIRST
game, but the Corsairs bounced right
back and grabbed the next two, thus
helping to delay the Bruins, ascent to
the top of the National League.
Sheriff Blake was Joe McCarthy's
pitching pick for the first game, while
Ray Kremer, Pirate ace, who already
had three decisions over Chicago. was
expected to work for Pittsburgh.
To date the Cubs had q orie-game
edge over Pittsburgh for the. season,
having won out Of Is, and McCarthv
did not under estimate the strength OF
the Pirates who have been going at
a great clip lately In their sffof4 10
break into the first division.
Pittsburgh has not finished out of
the first four since 1918, and Manager
Jewell Ems team has been making q
sensational drive to get back into a
position to cut into the world Series
