By H. O. Hamilton. (United Press staff correspondent.) New York, Sept. 30. With the Phil lies and Dodders enrded by Charles H. Kbbeta to resume their struggle for the National league pennant this morning in Brooklyn, the weather mnn continued Ms cupriciousness by favoring the big football card scheduled today. No teams ever were more eager to go into battle against each other than the two leading teams, National league riv als, but the morning dawned bright and cold. Tho wind whistled down from the north and down the collars of the ball jilayers as they went to the park, but there was hardly a chance that the game would be laid over for a double header this afternoon. Upon these two games apparently hinges the final standing in the Tener circuit. With the rare run almost to the finish and tho Phillies and Dodgers on top. only a point separates them. It is difficult to see how either might be dislodged if successful in winning both of today's contests. Philadelphia still had eight games to play. If the champions of 1915 win their contests today from the Dodgers they will return to Philadelphia with a standing of 00 games won and 57 lost, giving a percentage of .012. Then the Phillies must engage the Braves six times in four days. Figuring that Philadelphia can win four of these final contests they would end the season with 94 games won and 58 lost, n per centage of .013. The Dodgers would be unable to overcome this lead, unless Bos ton wins more than two games and the Brooklynites take four from the Giants. Both teams nre fully awake to the fact that their record in "these two tames probably w-ill predict the location of the world's series games. And never were there two teams more eager to get into action. Not a player fears the outcome of the contests. Brooklyn is mi top just now, but Philadelphia has the advantage ot Having taken tue open inir came of the series. Jeff Pfcffer and F.ppa Rixey were pitching pennant ball when rain de fended in torrents esterdny, and they may be thrown back in a new battle today. Deamree and Marquard, how ever, are the popular choices lor the morning contest and Pfeffer and Rixey for the afternoon. Grover Alexander bas expressed his willingness to work if it i-s necessary and he may also ee ii-tion. Interest iu the American league drive lias, centered now in speculation as to when Boston will cinch the flag. Only four games remain. on the Hed Hox schedule, a farewell meeting with the Yankees today and then three with Philadelphia. Two games must be won by the Red Sox to insure tneir entry into the world's series. The Boston Braves must lose third jiosition iu the National league fight for honors if the Giants whip them twice in today's double header. Batting averages published today show Hal Chase still in the lead of the National league race with an average of .337. Jake Daubert of Brooklyn, has jumped into wcond place, with a count of .323, and Zack Wheat, another Dod ter, is in third place with .310. The rise of Ferdie Schupp to second jdaee among the regular pitchers feat ures the week's pitching records, hchnpp has won nine and lost two games. Ahead of him is Hughes of Boston, who has won 14 and lost three. Alexander has won 32 and lost II. Tri Speaker's average today shows he is hitting .3S0 to .305 fur CV.bl. Jue The -greatest world series ser rice ever produced by a press association is what the United Press expects to give The Cap ital Journal in the coming championship between the will- ners in the American and JNa- ' tional leagues. , II. C. Hamilton, sporting ed- itor of 'the United Press who has been following the uuprece- dented struggle lor the pen- limits iu both leagues will handle the play by play do- scription of each game. Ham- ilton will nlso write a techni- enl story of each game cover- ing tho "inside" features and bringing out the points on which the game turns. George Martin whose feature stories on the National conventions, at- tracted wide attention, will write human interest features and semi-humorous stories on the big sport event. Martin is certain to get a new slant and a new lino of stuff out of tiic ser- ies. Fred S. Ferguson, who has handled the worlds series for tho last four years for tho United Press will be in genor- al charge of the service, For- guson through his familiarity with conditions in n worlds ser- j ies will get the last possible lie- gree of speed into the running story of the games. The United Press, leased wire will cut iu directly to press boxes at the baseball park F.very ball and strike will b culled for the benefit of cli- ents who may be operating scoreboards but this will in no way slow up the handling of the actual play. Speed, bright snappy descrip- tion and the best features will mark the United Press service. -...- . Jackson holds third place with .340.

LA FOLLETTE SAYS Republican Senator Defends Legislation Attacked by Hughes New York, Sept. 30. Declaring that the eight-hour law for railway train men has been much misrepresented.

Although his editorial was written before the president's uddress lust Sat urday to business men nt Shadow Lawn, it adopts the same line of rea soning. Senator La Follette denies that the eight hour law was a ''forced bill" as I liinlicliito Charles K. Hughes contends. He says that the railroad employes made their demands on the railroads and not upon congress, and it was only when the strike became imminent that tho president and congress stepped in and averted the disaster.
