Sept. 8. —(United Press) Helpless in the grasp of a record ' making slump, the young Philadelphia Athletics are now out of the American league pendant race and Washington unofficially is the American league entry in the world's series. The mathematical certainty has not been reached in the American or the National league, hut it sems quite . certain now that Washington and ' Pittsburgh will meet in the post-sea-son series to decide the world's championship. v The Senators are nine games ahead of tlie Athletics and they are moving like a steam roller over al! opposition The Pirates are 814 games in front of the New York Giants and they have shown no signs of faltering. Tlie collapse of the Athletics since \ugust 15 has been one of the outstanding events of a season that has furnished a generous supply of interesting features ami the spurt of the Senators when they were threatened, iias been one of the most inspiring in < idents of years. Although smart baseball men insisted that the Athletics were ton young ;-mi too snort or experience to last through the final hard drive. Connie Mack's youngtsers looked like chain pions on August 15. They were moving along, tall of confidence and spirit, uni.l they left home lor their last western trip and they met with disaster. In their List 20 games, the Athletics hive won only three and lost 17. Th. v have lost 12 straight games and they are in such a precarlosn condition now til t they have to tight ,»i, the Chicago White £ox to hold second On the other hand, the Senators opened the throttle when they saw the Athletics slowing up and charged through to 17 victories in their last 22 games. _ a American Racing Stars Ready For Race In Italy Milan, Italy, Sept. 8. —Despite a series of obstacles that have presented themselves, the American race drivers, Torny Milton and Peter Kreis, ..ho wi'l pilot their Deusenberg speed creations in the lial an Grand Prix on the twisting ainT tur'nng Monza track, September 6. are confident that they will take'the championship back to America. Upon arrival a few days ago, the officials of the Mo-.'za course ruled that the bodies of the Dnesanberg racng cars did not conform to European regulations and it was necessary to rush a hurried order Io the Isota Eraschina facotry to build new bodies. The typo windshield that tlie Duesenberg team expected to install to corap’y .'with the specifications of frontal area ,|did not pass muster and while .Milton land Kreis are accustoming themselves to what Is known as the most hazard- , ot'p track in the world, the new bodi ieJ are being completed. Some carburetion trouble has de- ■ vetoped on Recount of the gas used in . Italy but it is exported that this handii. cap will be overcome.

B.—A vexing problem of sufficient reserves and the replacement of four outstanding stars lost last spring by graduation faces James Phelan, head football coach of Purdue University, with the opening of the 1925 football season just ahead. Tlie backfield holes which must be plugged up were left by Bahr and Worth. Up in the line the absence of Captain Claypool and Wellman, two of Purdue's greaiest, is going to be felt heavily The schedule of eight games this year is perhaps the hardest Coach Phelan has tackled. Not the least of .he factors on which its successful com lusion depends is fltat of scholarship. Some of the candidates must hurdle scholastic obstacles and the appearance of some of her candidates in uniform the training season is contingent upon recovery from summer illness. Tom Hogan, star end, was included in the summer sick list. Regulars who have won thair spurs and will be here for the backfield include Captain Harold Harmeson. Ind'anaivo'.is; George Spradling, Frankfort. and George Houston, Chicago, halfbacks; Taube and Merkobra, both

of Detroit, quarterbacks, anil Don Don Munroe, Omaha, Neb., full backs. The line regulars include Tom Hogan, Waltham, Mass., and Pillman. ends; Bolan. Lake Forest, I'U tackle; and Threllfall. Lowell, Mass., Mierau, Detroit, Spencer, Gary, Deephouse, Lagayette, and Cunningham, Detroit, who alternated at guprd last year. From a group of varsity reserves and the following freshmen. Coach Phelan is hoping to fill the line holes: Anthony, Otterbein; Stillwell, Lukens and Cooper, Indianapolis; Brickler. Lafayette; Schultz, Wabash; Rabe Lafayette, and Crawford. Hamilton. O. Among the better freshmen back field men last year were Baker. Hunt ington; Block. Toledo, O.; Morion, o' Hammond; Wilcox ot New Albany; Hipkind, of Wabash; and Wilson of Jaifayette.

President Os W. C. T. U. In Vinton, lowa, Believed Victim Os Revenge Vinton, la., Sept. 8. — (United Press) —Botlegger’s revenge against the Women's Christian Temperance Union was blamed here today for the murder of Mrs. C. B. Cook, president of the Benton county chapter. Mrs. Cook died today from a bullet wound near the heart. She was shot by unknown assailants a s she sat near a window in her home. Authorities declared they believed the murder was committed by bootleggers. Mrs Cook had been active against dry law violations. . Cook, who was known as “lowa’s modern Carrie Nation,” had been largely tesponsible for a general round-up of booze suspects during the past week. The campaign was considered so successful that Sheriff Whitefield Ruhl pronounced Vinton “as dry as the Sahara." and offered a reward of $25 to anyone who was successful in purchasing liquor in the city. It was also learned that the murder was not the first attack upon Mrs. Cook. Several weeks ago her house was smeared with egges as a threat to her dry crusade. o— —- Herb Fullenkamp and Art Rosseau returned to Chicago, after a week-end visit with Mrs. M. Fullenkamp. They attended the wedding of Miss Margaret Moran and Robert Meyers, this morning. Mr. and Mrs. Quincy Winans and son, Carl Dick, of Fort Wayne, visited with Mr. and Mrs. Frank Winans over Labor Day. Mr. and Mrs. Louis Clark, of Day- . ton, Ohio, were the guests of Mr. an(i 1 ’ Mrs. Frank Winans Sunday.

COUNTY COUNCIL FIXING TAX RATE Budget For 192(5 Being Prepared; Reduction In Levy Expected The county council was holding Its annual session tod during w'H ■ i time the budgets anil fixing of the tux rates, payable next year were consideredAt three o'clock this afternoon, the council had not completed its work and indications were that the session would continue for an hour or two longer. Every item in the general budget was being cheeked by the councilmen and County Attorney Henry Dellei, and the tendency was to cut the appiopriatjons where possible. If at all possible tho councilmen wish to lower tne county general rate, bridge levy and the highway repair levies. The total of the general budget us proposed for next y« amounted to $111,510.00. Through cuts in appropriations and saving where possible, it is hoped that the budget can be reduced to about SIOO,OOO, which would make a considerable reduction in the general rate. It is likely that the bridge repair rate wifi be reduced and. in view of the revenue derived from the state gasoline tax. it is thought that the levy for the repair of gravel roads can be reduced materially. Want Court House Repaired. Judge Jesse (’. Sutton invited the' members of the county council to visit the court room this afternoon and offered the suggestion that the room be re-decorated and painted. The down-stairs would also have to be re-decorated if it was decided to go ahead with the improvement. Estimates for this work run high and it is not likely that the councilmen will vote an appreciation for this work, it was said. At noon, the county councilmen and Mr. Heller enjoyed dinner at the county farm, being the guests of Superintendent and Mrs. H. P LaFountain.
