Brooklyn set the pace in the Na tional League la.st week and is strongly pressing; Philadelphia for the leadership in the senior major league The Superbas won six out of the seven sames they played, regaining a strong hold on second place, and put ting themselves in a position to dis place the leaders should the latter show any signs of faltering. The Phillies, however, do not ap pear to he in a faltering mood. They dropped only one contest during the week, putting three to their credit and playing the steady game that has kept them at the top or near it for the gYeater part of the season. The Braves are not having a very successful time in working toward the top. Last year at this stage of the race they were in the full stride of their march to a pennant and a world's championship. Now they are hovering around the .5t0 mark, with no evidence of the climbing power that they displaytd in 1914. The American league contest is an altogether different affair. Long ago it became apparent that only three teams had a chance tor the 'pennant The games of the past week seem fairly to have measured the chances of the trio. The Bostons won seven games and dropped one. Detroit and I'hieago each played four games, winning three and losing one each. The Fled Pox. of course, were play ing on their home grounds, but they have proved an extraordinary road team this year. Kansas City has a disastrous week in the Federal League, dropping enough to plunge the team from first Place to fourth during the week end ing Saturday. o National League HISTORIC BATTLE NRW YORK.

Washington Wilson's Memory Lapses Racer Ignorant of Gerig's Death Ellie Wilson, slowly recovering from the effects of the motorcycle accident Sunday, knows nothing yet of the death of Bill Gerig in the same smash-up. Until he is fully able to stand the shock, he will be kept in ignorance of the fatality. Yet Wilson seems to know that some thing is wrong. His brother, who is with him much of the time says Ellie is continually beseeching everyone to tell him what has happened, referring especially to "something wrong". In a statement secured tnrough rel atives, Wilson says: "I don't remember anything between the time we lined up at the start and when they were carrying me under the grand stand." The blow has apparently closed ttH' racer's memory to the incidents that led to his fall. It was said last night that Wilson will be out of the hospital next week. His brother announced that when he had sufficiently recovered, he would be shown the files of The Republican, carrying accounts of the fatal accident. "I intend this to cure him of motorcycle racing," said the elder Wilson.

SPECK BEITS IS OFF FOR STANFORD u Popular Coyote Footballer Leaves For California School; Aspires to Rugby and Rowing ' When the campus at Stanford Uni versity sees a batch of freckles come down the street, pushed along by the earnest and aspiring map of Forrest Betts of this city, said campus will at once recognize the aptness of the Coyote's rag-time name "Speck." for Speck Betts is going to Stan ford. Ln fact,, he left last evening. The, popular son of "Harvey" Betts departed from this sphere of his "prep" education, with the firm determination to attend college in the same vigorous manner In which he attended the Phoenix high school. He didn't quite know whether he could get the hang of rugby or not, but he allowed that if' he got a chance, he would expend sundry gal lons of perspiration trying to learn. His football record for the past two seasons at the Coyote camp, has been good, and in another year or so, the young fellow will be crew material. FEDERAL LEAGUE Brooklyn, 2; Pittsburg, 5.

Think ;f how they must SMELL. Think of ihe perspiration percolating through them and of hv it must trickle around from whisker to whisker, stirring all of the little microbes up r.nd sotting them busy. It is enough to git a man the jimmies. Of course there are not o many whisk ers in Phoenix and yet, one of the things that make knockers is WHISKERS! Look out that you don't get your foot caught in the crevices along the street car tracks on the paved streets. There's a whole lot of people just "corning alive" on the "Riverside Park matter" and it was all over a week ago. The condition of the street car ( racks through the paved portions of Phoenix is a menace to the public. On the dirt streets it is even worse than that. All along east and west Washing ton, from one end of the paving to the other the pavement along the rails of the tracks is rough jagged, broken and uneven instead of trim, smooth and even rs it should be. Theie. are many places where the holes spanning the rails are a foot in width and from one to three inches in depth. Aut. mobiles, bicycles and all sorts of vehicles, including fire lighting apparatus, must cross and recross these ravines and never without more or less damage and a vast amount of danger. On all of the dirt streets on which cars run the company should be compelled to grade easy approaches to the tops of the rails and to sur face fully to the tops of the rails in the center of the tracks. The street car company holds a valuable franchise one increasing IrS valu" daily and while I have no fault to find with what the city commis sion have done, I am sure that there are m;re things which they have left undone; and this is one of them. It is fully within the power of the commission to compel the correction of this evil and should it so decide, it will have earned the gratitude of the most of us only do it NOW! EDISON'S SON AUCTIONED CAR Morristown, N. J. William Edison, second son of Thomas A. Edison, was the center of attraction here recently when he auctioned off his motor car in the street for $225. The buyer was a farmer,, who paid in cash and drove the motor car away. Mr. Edison lives between this place and Mount Tabor. He drove into town during the afternoon and engaged an auctioneer to handle the sale for him. One of the early bidders was Justice Pitney of the supreme court, who, how ever, dropped out when the offers neared the $200 mark. o THORPE DECLARES HE'LL BE BACK IN THE BIG LEAGUES do as your wife says (for once) and buy that suit now while Hanny is selling $25 Hart Schaffner and Marx suits for $18.75 and $30.00 ones-for $22.50 Earl & Wilson Shirts at big Reduction 40 North Central Tomorrow Jim Thorpe.

(For purposes of convenience the j hero of this narrative will hereafter be designated as "Bruno.") Bruno likes the ladies and the la-1 dies like Bruno. Bruno's onliest girl on Sunday night, the nigt before nay day, accepted his invitation to ac company him to Riverside Park. About the time "the start was to be made, Bruno discovered he had ex actly $1.10 with which to encompass the expense of the outing. ; : That seemed to be enough, provided cau tion was used and an early get-away effected. After the jitney fare had been paid and two bathing suits rent ed, Bruno was still possessed of a shining fifty-cent piece. He hesi tated about leaving the coin in his clothes and he hated to check so trifling an amount at the bath-house office. Bathing suits, like shrouds, have no pockets, so Bruno proceeded to carry the coin in his hand until he went into the water. Just before making :he initial plunge from a spring board Bruno transferred the fifty cent piece tn his mouth. And then he dove. The shock of the cool water jarred I' is jaws apart and the coin went to the bottom. Thereafter Bruno developed an almost insane love for diving. And he seemed to be glued to the one spot. All suggestions from his young wo man companion to move about the park met with polite but flat re fusils. He had never found a spot in the world where there were more opportunities for perfect pleasures. The shade of the cottonwoods did not appeal to him arid he didn't care to li 11 about in the sands. He didn't even want to go home though it was trowing late. He went on diving and diving and diving. He seemed to be f.pdeavoring to make a record for time spent under water. He was searching for that coin. just about the time his hair was turning white, and the girl was grow ing mad and threatening to leave him forever, Bruno spied an ac quaintance, and not a close one at that, to whom he proceeded to un fold his story. The acquaintance ad- im-ed enough money for Bruno to leave the park in style and the young woman won't know until she reads The Republican this morning just what caused Bruno to act so strangely last Sunday night.

There was further unrestrained trad ing in war shares, including several issues in which public support hai heretofore been utterly lacking, arid mors or less neglect to standard railways with recurrent weakness in foreign exchange. The latter condi tion was partly rectified toward the end, the receipt of $4,600,000 Japanese gold from Canada, and a semi-official statement Indicating the coming flotation of a British loan here in fusing some strength in the general financial situation. Early trading was the basis for one million and a half shares for the day, but slackened visibly later.
