There is every i indention today that the next world's cerios will be piayed in the east, .-just as they have been since the days of the old, Chicago Cubs and the one time eham-j iion Detroit Tigers. The National league pennant apeparsi to rest now between two elubs Brook lyn and Philadelphia while in the Am-' erii-an league theKed Box still maintain their mnrgin. I A sudden reversal of form, sustained while Matty's Beds were visiting Benn- town, has placed the Braves so far down in the list, that nothing short of, nn epidemic of infantile paralysis or j broken legs in the Dodger and Philly, teams will put the Braves in the lead. I The Stallings bunch now is five nnd ! n half games behind the pace setting. Dodgers and three games behind rhila-; dolphin a margin which it is impos sible to overcome in the remaining 10. games the Braves can play. Gradually the Red Sox are pounding j their way to the American league pen-1 limit. They did not gain on Chicago and Detroit in their game yesterday, for the i two rinincrs-up also won. But they j brought their schedule one game nearer ; completion and .if they win seven more. games of their remaining J(, it will De impossible tor Chicago to overtake them. The Braves, besides being forced to watch Cincinnati knock the props from under their pennant hopes, now are se riously threatened by the Giants, who wim their seventeenth strnitrht: l?nme nnd are bidding strong for third place, i The Giants now stand three games and one point behind the Braves and; have 10 games lett on their Bcheilule. I If they can keep up their great work they will pass the Boston team, for they still have a series with the Braves., The Braves also must meet Philadel phia, their last series of the season. The Dodgers hold a two and a half( game lead over the Phillies since their , parting wallop at the Cardinals yester-1 lny and they begin today against the Cubs, a team which isn't expected to make it overly interesting for the lend ers. Philadelphia is billed with the Beds and in view of tlie way the Reds at tacked the Braves, it must be conceded they are due to at least make it inter esting for the second place team. . In the American league, Detroit will clash today with the Senators, Red Sox with the Indians and the White Sox with the Yankees. Tris Speaker still holds his wonderful lead in the American league race for batting honors. The famous Cleveland outfielder is clouting today at a ..'ISO clip and Ty Cobb, his nearest rival, is stationed at .359. Joe Jackson has a mark of .344. Eddie Collins, after al most a 'full season of poor hitting, now is hammering the ball for an average of .313. , Cobb still holds the lead in runs scored with 103 to his credit. Nick Cullop of the Yankees, main tains his place at the head of the Amer ican league regular pitchers. He has won 12 and lost fouryfcumcs. Boland, Detroit, is second with nine won and three lost, anu Covaleski, De troit, is third with 23 victories and nine defeats. Walter Johnson has won 25 and lost 18 games. Hal Chase, of Cincinnati, still has the National league batting honors, his latest mark showing an average of .333. Zack Wheat of Brooklyn, is his nearest rival with .322. Koger Hornsby, St. Louis, is a close third, with .318. George Burns, of New York, is the best run getter in the Tenor circuit, having scored 92 times. Benny Kaut'f 's recent turn to batting form is a feature of the latest averages. The former Federal league star now is batting at a .283 clip anil going strong. Hans Wagner has fallen out of the .300 circle and is batting now .290. Hughes, of Boston, holds the Nation al league leadership for pitchers, "hav ing won 14 and lost in three games. Schupp, New York, is second with eight victories and two detents aud Grover Cleveland Alexunder is thud with 2!) games won and nine lost. The Phila delphia star and Al Mammaux of Pitts burg, are tied for iron man honors, each having appeared in 42 games. Football in Two Weeks. Chicago, Sept. 23. With the first big games two weeks away, coaches ami squndn are falling into the routine of football practice in dead earnest. Lax ity and the general take it easy spirit which is always present the first few days of, practice while the couches ami the men are rehearsing summer experi ences has disappeared and today most of the squads will be out oa the gridiron working laboriously at formations, sig nals, punting amf scrimmage. Only prep school games are scheduled in the mid dle wt today. The only big nine elev en scheduled for next Saturday is In diuua with DePew at Blooinington. Has Picture Rights. Chicago, Sept. 23. Exclusive moving picture rights for the world's series have been granted to the Sclig Poly fccope company, according to a statement made today by W. N. Sclig, president of the company, upon receipt of a tele gram from Garry Hermanu, chairman of the National Baseball commission, an nouncing that Sclig "s wus the success ful bid. A consideration approximating $25, 000 was included in the successful bid for the exclusive rights for filming the big series. Pictures will be taken of every important play in each of the games that will decide the world's championship. ABSENT MINDED The absent mindedest person T ever heard of was the man who at break fast, after being out among the ehig gers, poured molasses on his ankle and scratched his pancakes. Kami Lite. The Journal Does Job Printing. Simpson, Famous Athlete, Came From Missouri Town By Hamilton i New York, Sept. 2.'. An obscure lit-l tie town, Maryville, Slo., the home of j one of Missouri's many normal schools, nave Hubert Simpson, who broke the senior record in the amnteur athletic union's recent meet at Newark, N. J.,l his start to fame. ! Simpson, by the way, is one of the; few western athletes who have lived; up to a reputation established in the west. It is an unfortunate fact that; athletes from the west are prone to "blow" when they go to the big east-: em meets aad, as a consequence, their claims ordinarily arc not taken very; seriously. Simpson, however, proved be-1 yond any doubt that he is the real; thing when he went over the 120 yard: high hurdles at Newark in 14 4 5 sec-j ouds, a new world's record unless A. A. & V. officials allow a previous mark of: - 14 i-o seconds mae by. Simpson. j It was four years ago last spring that Simpson's name was printed on; the official program of the northwest; Missouri high school meet at Maryville j ns the only entrant from Bosworth high , school. The lanky country boy was en-j terod in every event eavc the hurdles.. Neither he nor his trainer thought j much of Simpson as a nurdler. ; Simpson started with the 100 yard dasii and he finished secnuf. Then he went into the 220 dash and finished second. In the half mile and the quar ter he finished first and second, re spectively. He broke the record for the shot put, the discus throw and the broad jump. He also was first in the high jump and finished a good second in the pole vault. When Simpson got to the hop, step and jump he was a little hit tired, but he managed to crack another record. Simpson's wonderful feats gained tor his school, Bosworth high, second place in the meet, almost beating out the school which had taken first place in every meet since the games had been contested at Maryville. Missouri university athletic authori ties heard of him and at once gobbled hj in up. He was not heard from, ex cept in a prophetic way, until after he had spent a year at Missouri, for Mis souri valley conference rules, like most, conference rules, prohibit freshmen taking part in athletic events. The following year, nowever, Simp son blossomed out as a hurdler and ho has been busy winning events of this sort ever since. 10 E Big Parade Begins at 10:30 Salem and McMinnville Wednesday, October Fourth .The fact that McMinnville is to have a real round-up with nil of the most approved and modern features, the thtiills and the g'nsps at the feats of daring performed by the cowboys and cowgirls a real modem reproduction of the olden times on the frontier, is a new epoch in the history of this staid and quiet community. - The word comes from all parts of western Oregon that whole families and whole neighborhoods and their families are passing up the circus for tho sake of coming to the great Hound- Xo expense or labor and pains have. ueen spared m tlie matter of making tho fair grounds which have fallen in to disuse for several years, conven ient for tho performances, comfortable for those in attendance and commodi ous for the parking of automobiles. Over four hundred feet in length and twelve tiers high are being added to the grand stand already thei-b, the track is being worked over and fresh ened up, and, already rt is one of the best half mile tracks" on the const and highways are being improved for the ease of those in attendance in reach ing the grounds. The people of McMinnville are en thusiastic in anticipation of the throngs of their near and fur neighbors to whom they are anxious to give a henrty reception. The railroads are publishing one and a third fares for round trip from all valley points as far south as Corvnllis and 'Albany and .1. I'luvins tins promised to go on a vacation till after this event has had its turn. The long season and the .abundant harvest has made the farmers want a spell of relaxation and they will sure ly have it here. Parade Oct. 4, at 10 a. m. The old timers of Yamhill, the orig inal OregnniniiH, are taking interest in thj feature of the parade to revive and restore for the time at least, some of the old features of pioneers days such ns the prairie schooner and the ox team, the Kockaway stage coach and such features ns will bring terns to the eyes of the Forty Niners in tho reininiscense. The Automobile Dealers association of Portland propose making an auto mobile show in the spacious auditor ium that will rival the society events of the Metropolitan communities. Many of the best and newest nnd most novel of the motor vehicles and even a display of Fords nnd Saxons will vie with their bigger nnd more saucy rivals for the admiration of those interested in speed. The Firemen's contest will be an evening feature and many costly and useful prizes will be hotly contested for. Care will be taken to see that with all of the tests of skill and strength in pitting the cow boy and the cow girl against the wild nnd untamed beasts of the range, that there shall be no thing that will shock or offend the re fined sensibilities. Assurances of a large delegation from Port In ml have been given and all who fail to take advantage of this festivul of sport brought right to their very doors will miss the greatest op portunity they have had presented to see the fast passing range life in all its picturesqueness. Preparations are made to care for any sized crowd that may attend. Crumpled Note Only . Clue to Foul Crime Bemidji, Minn., Sept. 23r A crum pled up, poorly spelled note, picked up near the place when Miss Olga Dahl, pretty 19 year old school teacher, was found in the lonely pine woods near here, was the only cluo officers had today to trace the girl's assailant. A posse of determined men, heavily armed, are searching for the stranger who caught the girl as sho left her school building, carried her ino the forest, tied her to a tree, ravished her snd then shot her twice in the face. The girl has not regained conscious ness. The note reads: "This is a pretty friend of her's and she is too pretty for one so good. So I think I will fix her. So if yon stand happy to find this, I see you later. September 20, 1910." The 'notte is unsigned.

It will be three out of five instead of two out of three, and the third game of the series will he played on the Fast State street grounds in Salem tomorrow afternoon.

Forrest. (ITnited ProsB staff correspondent.) British Central Flying Hchool, Kept. 1. (By mail.) " German airmen are sportsmen; they'vo proved it a hundred times," said a "professor" of flying at England's greut aviation school to day. This "professor" learned how to teach war flying in the higher college o'f hard knocks situated "(Somewhere in Northern Frnncc." His students are England's air figh ters of tomorrow. Tomorrow in this case means about eight or 10 weeks hence. "We do not teach our men that they are going against un easy enemy," the officer continued. "They are plain ly told that their opponents will be real men and real fighters, for the Ger mans really nro all of that. When a young Lnglishinau comes to be tiiught how to fly ho is taught all the latest hooks and crooks that war experiences affords. Before everything he is taught to fight fair and hard and above ull to be a sport." this is the spirit nlnch permeates this little aerial "universily town" which bus sprung up since the war on the edge of a great plain in southern L'uglnnd about 70 miles from London. The chivalry of the air is an import ant point in the curriculum. Students graduate nnd go out to kill but they me taught to kill in fair fight some uluit after the fashion of the ancient lists when ladies looked on. Apart from the Zeppelins, Herman aviators have fought fair in this war, he officers told the fnited Tress Tli horrible atrocities in other brunches of Herman arum huvo not spread to tin air and there is yet a chivalry then that aviator must maintain.
