It will be necessary for New York
to win today's game with Boston to
tic Chicago for the leading position"
event, a "play off on neutral grounds
would be ordinarily necessary to set
tle the championship.
Neither Chicago nor Pittsburg has
any more games to play this season
in the regular National League sched
ule. New York, however, will meet
Boston today on the Polo Grounds.
, The decision of the League direc
tors in protested game between New
York and Chicago obivates the neces
sity of adding an extra game as Chi
cago being tied with New York in
the event of the latter's success to
day the playing off of the protested
game. will settle the championship. If
however Boston wins Chicago will
still be in the lead and New York's
hope will then rest on defeating Chi
cago in the ''play off" of the contested
game thereby tieing that team in per
centage. This will necessitate anoth
er game for deciding the champion
ship.
For the first time in history of na
tional league clubs the post season
game for the championship is an
nounced for Thursday of this week,
the tangle that arose over the last
series in New York having brought a
decision today from the national
league directors to that effect. For
nearly two days and a large part of
one. -night the directors listened to
evidence and considered the matter
in various phases and finally an
nounced the decision late this after
noon. Chairman Ebbets made a little
speech before asking August Her
mann to read the text of the decision,
calling attention to the importance of
the case and the care that had been
taken to give proper consideration to
all interested. Two protests were up
for decision on appeals from the rul
ing of President Pulliam. New York
appealed from the decision sustaining
the, ruling of the umpires that the
game played September 23 was a tie
and: the second game was appealed
by Chicago from the decision that
they were not entitled to the forfeit
ed game scored under the league
constitution. In both cases the league j
president was sustained.

and if necessary our national laws
should be changed so as to bring this

result of cultivation and use, than of
length of time necessary for the set

Transportation, said , President
Case, in the one great problem that
overshadows all others. He added:
We are particularly desirous that
navigation of the Missouri and Lower
Arkansas rivers be improved untd
there shall be a worthy advance to
the transportation of our western
products. However, only a compara
tively small portion of the trans
Mississippi country can be reached
by navigable streams. We must de
pend upon the iron rail as a highway
to market for the greater portion of
our products.
"Here and there our common
wealth has a mistaken idea of its
own needs' and attacks the railroad
as its enemy when it should have
considered it an associate in its de
velopment. It is a poor policy on
the part of the individuals or of a
community to hinder those things
that make for present day progress.
Thousands of communities 'today
would have railroads if the builders
of great lines were not afraid of what
may come in the way of hostile legis
lation. The Trans-Mississippi coun
try ought to have thousands of miles
of new railway in the next year."
The political end of the Congress is
in a state ot terment ana it is impos
sible to say who will be chosen as
president for the coming year. Colo
rado has sent a strong delegation to
the gathering and the members of
this delegation are', losing no oppor-
I tunity ,to boost their home state for
the next gathering place of the con
gress and Thomas F. Walsh of Colo
rado for president. Texas has come
to the front with a candidate for that
office, Col. Ike T. Pryor of San An
tonio being mentioned, and Colonel
Fred W. Fleming of Missouri is also
being strongly supported.
Omaha is being spoken of very fa
vorably as the place of the next
gathering, ana Colonel rlcming is
urging the selection of that city, con
fident of strong support from many
of the delegates. Great interest is
being taken by the members of the
Congress in the project of securing a
federal appropriation for the straight
ening out of the Missouri river, and
this will help Omaha's effort to get
the next session. The report that
Galveston, Texas, was in the field for
the meeting, was denied today by
Senator Harris of that city, who sa'd
