NAPS FACE HARD BATTLE Senators and Cleveland Have Nip and Tuck Finish lor. Second Honors Phillies Not Yet Threatened as Runners Up. NEW YORK, Sept. 21. Only a mat ter of mathematical possibilities now stands between the Giants and Ath letics and the pennants In their re spective leagues. Tomorrow may see Pnnnin Mack's men Bast the point which will give them the flag even If they lose all their remaining- gamc. Not many days afterward the players under John McGraw's tutelage should find themselves in a similar position. The Cleveland-Washington battle for second place In the American t i. .Tfitinr Veen interest. Griffith's hustlers have won nine out of their last 14 games, wnue me uv lands have taken but three out of 12 and still are going poorly. Chicago and Boston are only about three games apart and fourth position looks to be a tossup between them. The Philadelphia Nationals, even though they have failed to maintain a steady pace to bring them to the flag winning point, have made a fine season's run of it. and while now threatened by the Cubs, are not yet In anywhere near as serious danger of losing the place as are the American League runners-up. Pittsburg seems settled In fourtn place but Brooklyn and Boston are having a -hard struggle to decide who shall head the second division. Cincinnati, which has been playing at considerably better than a .600 clip recently, has a fighting chance to beat out either Boston or Brooklyn. St. Louis Is hopelessly moored In the tail end berth. There will be no one from present appearance to dispute third place with the Cubs, who will, therefore, unless they happen to rise a degree by keep ing up their spurt of today and nosing out the Phillies, finish under Ever under the same notch.

Trimble Says Port land Persons Are Selfish in Pride and Desire for Gain, Power and Pleasures. "Some of the women of Portland are quite willing to spend $18 for a corset but would not spend 18 cents for mental pabulum," said Rev. Delmer H. Trimble, of the Centenary Methodist Church, last night assailing "selfish pride" In a ser mon on "The Four Vices of Portland." "Men are known too much by the cut of the coat and the shape of the shoe," he said. "The Damocles sword of fash Ion bangs over society until we have been reduced to the verge of paralysis and Individuality has gone a-glimmer-lng." "The sins of Portland," he declared in the beginning of his sermon, "lire found In an Inordinate selfishness, which manifests Itself along four gen eral lines; selfish gain, selfish pleasure, selfish pride and selfish power. Money Not Considered Wealth. "Some people are short-sighted enough not to see that money is not wealth. The motto of a class of world lings In our city Is: 'Make money hon estly if you can, but make money, and keep the money." They hide their own meanness from their own eyes by say ing, 'It's the way of the world, yuu know. If I don't look out for myself, no one else will; or, I don't want to be rich, I only want to be comfortable; or, It's for my family.' They should re member that the young man who be gins where his father left off usually leaves off where the father began. "The folks who make self-gratification the main line of life are all too numerous. The route Is found In the fashions, the foibles, the fads, the vile songs, the vulgar stories, the immoral plays, lustful pandering the mean re venges, pipes and plugs, cigars and cigarettes, wines, beers, brandies and other exciting beverages. How long will men be In finding out that there is no greater fool than he who goes delib erately seeking for pleasure? What ever pleasure to which a man habit uates himself, beyond that which God has placed In the natural course of his life, is but a new flro kindled In his own bones which will burn his very life subBtance for fuel. Wonld-Be Rulers Scored. "Considerable traffic Is In the line of selfish power. Some people want to be masters In all things; to hold the key to the general situation, they would control science, philosophy, God, coun cils, cliques and companies. They want to run the school, the church, the city. These people won't stop until they run the world. "These are the people who, If they don't get their own way, will balk and not do anything, or they will head a rebellion and fight like fiends to ruin the enterprise. This is not the Bplrlt of philanthropy, the mind of the Master nor the fruit of that loveliest of graces that seeketh not her own. "To these people the final check shall be given when men and nations learn that power belongs to God." Y. I C. 11. RALLY HELD REV. LUTHER R. DYOTT LAUDS INSTITUTIONAL- WORK.

C A. educational department, a rally was held In the auditorium yesterday, at which the Rev. Luther R. Dyott, of the First Congregational Church, was the principal speaker. Professor French, director of the educational department, presided. "Our Y. M. C A. Is more than a soul saving society for the world to come," said Dr. Dyott in his address. "It Is a oonstant means of furnishing assets in Christian character for the life that now is. "No church In Portland has the ma terial equipment and the trained staff of workers for doing what the Y. M. C. A. does. Every church here should have written In its sign: 'The Institu tional work of this church is done at the Y. M. C. A. and the Y. W. C A.' "The twentieth century man needs the body of an athlete, the brain of a sage and the soul of a Savior. He must be the best possible man to him self and the best actual man to others an educated man, a trained man, a man of efficiency and of high Ideals. "The Y. M. C.

"Members of the Christian Church spend more money for chewing gum than is sent to evangelize the heathen and they spend three times as much money for tobacco as for the heathen." declared Rev. James Hardy Bennett yesterday morning in his sermon In the Union-avenue Methodist Church. His subject was "The Unfaithful Stew ard." Rev. Mr. Hardy said that men and women are merely stewards of God and agents for the use of the wealth they possess, and that great wealth Is for the purposes of good and not evil. "No matter If a man may bold $100, 000,000," said Rev. Mr. Bennett "if it be not used rightly for the good of others he becomes a pauper at his death. The only way to save money is to use It for good and for the advance ment of the kingdom. Money is useful, and the ability to accumulate money was not given that evil might be done. I believe In wisdom in church affairs. If the department stores of this city were conducted as the affairs of churches are conducted they would fail utterly. We need wisdom In our church. I never wear nor eat what I cannot pay for, and "the church should be con ducted that way. It should have every thing it can pay for and no more." Rev. Mr. Bennett has Just entered on another year at the Union-avenue Methodist Church, to which he was re turned by the annual conference. There will be the opening quarterly meeting V.'TWK- .V".'.

LOCAL OUTFIT PRAISED FIRE CHIEF SATS PORTLAND'S EQUIPMENT IS FIXE. After Trip to New York Entertain ment Is Described and Ap paratus Is Compared.

Portland's fire department as a whole Is as modern, as efficient and large, compared with the population, as any other city in the country, according to Fire Chief Dowell following a trip to New York with the fire band. "Never before have I had a chance to see what other cities are doing in the fire protection line," said the chief. "I have been told often how our de partment ought to measure up to the standards of the departments of other cities, but now I should say the other departments ought to measure up to us. "The trip of the fire band was a round of pleasure, experience and edu cation from start to finish. "At Butte we had the thrilling ex perience of turning down two tubs full of beer. "At Minneapolis we had a banquet, given by the firemen of that city, And at St. Paul the performance was re peated. "From St Paul we went to Chicago, where we were met by a large delega tion of flrmen, policemen and city of ficials and a brass band. Here we saw the first electric fireboat "In Milwaukee we saw a 48-inch fire main in course of construction and saw some Interesting electric fire appa ratus. "From Milwaukee we went back to Chicago, and from there to Buffalo and to Niagara Falls. From there we went to Boston and took in all the sights. "In New York we saw some big fire, boats and a great display of fire appa ratus. "The trip familiarized me with fire department conditions in the country to such an extent that I am now able to compare our department with other departments." Aviator and His Wife Near Death.
