tl PENNANT
GOES 10 NEW YORK
!L0 SERIES NEXT
NEW YORK, Sept. 25. The New
York Giants cinched the National
league pennant yesterday by defeating
the Cardinals at St Louis, 2 to 1. Their
. ultimate victory has been expected for
some time, but there was always that
chance that something might go wrong
at the last minute.
The Chicago White Sox won the
right to meet the Giants In the world's
series last week, and are said to be
already priming themeslrea tor the big
struggle.
It Is expected that Manager McGraw
will let some of his stars rest up from
now on, although the team Is on the
road in the west There still remains
nearly two weeks before the series
starts at Chicago on Saturday, Octo
ber 6. This will give McGraw plenty
of time to prime his men for the strug
gle, which carries with it the baseball
championship of the world.
CHICAGO, Sept 25. It has been def
initely decided that George (Buck)
Weaver will play shortstop tor Chi
cago in the world's series, displacing
Risberg .and that McMullin will hold
down the third-base position. This de
cision was made following communi
cation between President Comlskey
and Manager Rowland, of the Chicago
Americans.
"Weaver will be in the lineup." de
clared President Comlskey today. "His
injured finger is not bothering him,
and we need his spirit of fight After
what McMullin showed at third base
during Weaver's illness, there was no
chance to supplant him.
President Comlskey also asserted
that he is not worrying about a rumor
ed threat by the New York Nationals
to rule out Pitcher Eddie Cicotte, of
the Chicago Americans, because of his
"shine ball." He said that official ac
tion by the baseball commission is Im
possible, "for the simple reason that
the commission has no proof that the
'shine ball exists."

10 LEAVE BELGIUM
AND HELP REBUILD!
LONDON. Sept. 26. Germany has
agreed to evacuate Belgium on certain
conditions, it is declared in a German
official statement, according to a dis
patch from Berne today.
Germany, it is stipulated, must have
the right to develop her economic In
dustries freely in Belgium, especially
in Antwerp.
The proposal was made in a supple
mentary note to the Vatican, replying
to the peace initiative ot Pope Bene
dict It was in the form of a verbal
communication made by Foreign Sec
retary Keuhlmann to the papal nuncio
at Munich, wherein the foreign secre-!
tary specified the condition under jr,8e ,0 the unprecedented figure of
which Germany was willing to con- five hunlrJ1 millions. Many other
similar examples could be cited though
"I voted for the revenue bill upon
Its final passage because the war can
not be fought without money; yet, I
hoped that a greater portion of the
revenue cuold have been collected from
those colossal Institutions which are
enjoying the fruits of the war and are
thriving upon the enormous expendi
tures made necessary by this conflict.
I would not advocate a revenue policy
that would disturb or frighten business
nor would I support a measure that
considers the profiteers too tenderly.
"The only objection I have to the
bill now in conference Is that It did not
bear down more heavily upon the
reapers of large war profits. For ex
ample, the Dupont Powder company
made annually from 1913 to 1915 in
clusive profits amounting to five mil
lion dollars while In 1916 its profits
climbed to the stupendous sum of 82
millions. The United States Steel cor
poration made in the year preceding
our entrance Into the war 63 millions
of dollars and based upon the first six
months of the current years it is es
timated that its profits for 191? will
