PITTSBURG IN SLIGHT LEAD By Taking Last Game Today From Chicago Pittsburg Will Have the Prize Famous Tie Game to be Decided Monday. So close will be the finish in the race for the national league pennant that any one of the three leading clubs may win. The defeat of New York yesterday was costly, for even by winning the three remaining games New York has to play with Boston, Pittsburg can win the pen nant by taking the last game of the season today. On the other hand if Chicago .defeats Pittsburg and New York wins the retraining games, New York can do no better than tie with Chicago. Thus it is seen that ' the game between Pittsburg and Chicago today will be the crucial test of the entire series, disposing entirely of the chances of one or the other of the two clubs. If Pittsburg loses the game that team will be behind Chicago in the final team standing. In figuring the possible outcome it must be remembered there is still the are specifically enumerated in , this law there, is another law which pro hibits, the sale of, liquor on Sunday and . a restraining order not to at tempt to interfere with the opera tion of the other law. Saloons there fore will remain closed. While the direct effect of the retaining order is a matter of importance only to those directly affected indirectly it is im portant as in deciding the question whether to make the order perma nent. The court will doubtless ex press its views as to the constitu tionality of the law. ASTORIA, OREGON, mm mojub ILL'lUIi Steamer Must Bo Surveyed Be fore Resuming Cruise "'.
