Thrilling Clash Knabe

By ROBERT W. MAXWELL
omlnkey rrk, Chicago, III., Sept. 8.
Timely hitting by Itelndecr Bill Kllle
fer and Lefty Tyler, the Chicago bat
tery, was enough to send tho Windy
City entries to the lead In the second
clftih of the 1 91 S world series here this
afternoon. The star battery connected
for their run-producing wallop- In the
second Inning and netted the Cubs three
runs. This was the only run-making
frame up to the end of the seventh in
ning. Tjler allowed the Invaders only
two hits.
It was a walk that started the trou
ble! just the same as a base on balls
proved the deciding factor In the open
ing struggle esterdaj A walk to Mer
kle. an Infield hit hv rick, followed bv
Klllefer's double and Tj ler's one-base
smash, resulted In 'three Cubs dashing
across the home plate.
This Inning also produced more ac

When tho Boston club camo off the Held

Knabe, the Cub conch, and Heine Wag

for the Cubs, riajers separated the
combatants. It was action r plenty.
Tyler was pitching In great form and

chaser allowed Tyler to shoot over three

to connect. Tj-ler grooved the foutth
one. but the fifth was wide and Hooper
trotted slowly to first. Shean tool; two
strikes, a ball and then fanned. The
hltand run sign was out and as Shean
missed the third strike Hooper was
put at second. He made the bag In
safety, but Shean was accused of In-
terferlng with Klllefer and Hooper was
ordered to the bench. Strunk's best
was an easy fly to Hollocher.
Flack started the Cubs In the right
way bj reaching Bullet Joe Bush for
a single; Hollocher failed In his at
tempt to advance Flack and forced his
teammate, Bush to Scott. Mann lifted
k fly to Strunk in center. The fleet
athlete purposely dropped the fij-, then
picked up the sphere in time to force
Hollocher, a clever base runner, at sec

'Paskert then -filed to Whiteman for the

Fighting to Gain Time
Enemy Gives Ground Everywhere in Advance
of Program of Retirement Before British
Tanks and Machine Guns
' ' By PHILIP GIBBS
Special Cable to Evening Public Ledger
CepvHoht, J9S, lu New Vorfc Times Co.
Willi the British Armies, Sept. 6.
The enemy Is still falling back under
the close pressure of our troops and
fighting bitter rear-guard actions at
machine-gun range, but Is forced to
give ground every wheie In advance
of his program of retirement. The
vital part of his line Is still In the
country south of the Sensee River
below Doual and west of Cambral,
and It Is here our men are following
up their breach in -the Drocourt line
and drivingvspearheads Into his posi
tions eastward.
The German troops had been ordered
to hold, the line of the Torllle TUver,
and the crossing of the Canal du Nord,
north of Peronne, at all costs in order
to djelay our advance, but In spite of
holding the banks with fierce mnchine
gun Are, they were unable to pi event
the passage of the English and Welsh
battalions, who attacked yesterday
With the greatest gallantry, threw a
bridge across under heavy Are and
sained to the other side of the canal.
Our troops then advanced before
the retiring enemy and drove his
rear guards out of the villages or
Manlncourt and Btrlco'urt, and ait
mailing further progress toward our
old lines atound Cambral salient,
which we took In a surprise attack
last November.
Further npith thls movement Is
linked up with the still, more Im
portant progtess of the English troops
around Moeuvies, which they entered
Wednesday, and north of the old Hin

German garrisons are. fighting des

Washington, Sept. C.
It Is sajd hcie on good authority
,, , . .....
that the Piesldent hns decided not
to gn on thp proposed speechmakin!?
trip mound the countrj-. The Piesl -
dent never did agiee to the plan. He
said neither jes or no, when It was
suggested, but kept his mind open.
And ;iow It is understood that he has
finally said no.
The reason alleged Is that such a
trip made during a congressional
campaign would wear too political an
aspect to be appropriate for n Presl- :
dent to make during the conduct of j
a great war. I
I'rgeil li.v Politicians
As a inattei of fact, the Idea of an '
. appeal to the countrj seems to have
originated with the politicians who
aie anxious to canv Congicss for the t
Democratic paitv next fall. They felt
Mr. Wilson's going to the pilhllc would
assure manj- doubtful dlstticts to the
Democrats.
A President is alwajs an appealing
figure. During a war a President Is
an especially appealing figure. And
when, as now, the war is going well,
the appeal to the human instinct of
lojalty Is tiemendous. So icasoned
those who weie anxious to get him on
the stump, though thej weie careful
to conceal their Interest hj- suggest
ing that the coming I.Ibertv Loan
would profit by the President's mak
ing speeches.
Cut Mr. llodoo Is reported to have
advised against the President's leav

making that loan. And It Is his by
light. So any political appeal to the
country camouflaged under a cam
paign for the loan would not be agree
able to him.
Not Well Conrrlr-d
As a matter of fact, the proposal was
never well conceived. However much
good It might do Mr Wilson nnd the
countrj' to ln.ve him come in contact
with the people, such a contact In war
time cannot be Intimate The dangers
of the President going about the coun
trj' on such a trip are considerable, and
he would hive to be hedged about with
safeguards that would keep his auditors
at a distance, and it Is difficult to spare
tlie President from Washington.
The President remains the center of
the vvar-miklng organization. All that
has been done In creating war machinery
and in bringing big men to Washington
and entrusting them with Impoitant
functions nas not altered the fact that
the Government of the United States so

poses to assure the safety of room
guests. Otherwise every club In the city
wll be compelled to close Its doors at
the hour set. The fuel administration
will announce within a fetv days the
date when this order becomes effective.,
Simultaneously. Mr. Lewis announced
that street peddlers and corner-store
dealers in coal who, he said, have been
reaping a rich harvest from the poor
in the past by charging exorbitant prices
for fuel, will be allowefl to operate after
October IS onlj- under Federal license:
Their prices wilt be strictly regulated,
Tho fuel administrator denied that
retail coal dealers generally had boost
ed prices above the scale fixed by the
Government. "If there has been a sin
gle instance of this kind, and the evi
dence Is laid bfeore me, I will turn such
.dealers over to the United States Dis

he dec'ared. "I do not, however, be
lieve It Is true."
Iteductlon of coal orders by order of
the fuel administiation has resulted In
a saving thus far ot 200,000 tons, said
Mr. Lewis. This was effected by striking
an average of the coal consumed by a
block of houses and eliminating waste
wherever It wbb fo,und to be practiced.
