I nrt. zv a a. i' terday; toe Giants put it over Philadelphia and toe Pirates snatched‘a double header from St Louis. This put Pittsburg in the lead by a nose ’ and caused consternation, in New York and distress in Chicago. The .great national baseball race is nearing an end with chances favoring Pittsburg, and considerably against Chicago.' In the American league toe Sox suffered a shut out at the hands of the Nape, nary a snow hoofed Comiskeylte reaching first base. This practically put the Sox out of the race. Detroit still holds toe lead in toe American league but the Naps are I showing a lot of finishing class. It will not be surprising if the world’s series is between the two coal black cities, Pittsburg and Cleveland. ■ < ■ ■ The football season opens today in many of the college towns and the enthusiasm that has attended the sport for many years does not seem to have waned. There are many accidents and occasional deaths during each season, but they are small indeed compared to the number that result from hunting accidents, and we have always believed that the football player had it a little bit 1 over the "ring-around-a-rosy” boys 1 that act as wall flowers at kissing parties. We approve any change in ' football rules that will lessen the 1 danger in the game, but we don’t believe in keeping the boy of nerve and spirit who wants to play the game out pending the change. And we don’t believe in throwing away theshot gun pending the discovery of one that will kill a deer but won’t hurt when it hits another hunter.
