With but two games separating the
first four clubs in the league, all the
leaders in the Manufacturers' Baseball i
League will come together tomorrow I
afternoon nnd double-headers arc
scheduled for nil. It means that the
result of these game's will have a de
cided bearing on who 'will win the pen
nant, "and there is u possibility ot hcv
eral contenders being eliminated.
Wheeler, the lenders, and Bcment
Company, in second position, come to
gether twice at Houston Kield, nnd n
pair nf wini for either would mean the
loser woulddrop into the also-ran class.
Tho Stokes & Smith and U. G. I.
teams are third.and fourth, respectively,
and they will also stage a dual bill at
Somcrdalc.
U. G. I. is in fourth position, but the
Gnsmakers aver they will win out aim
still- hold-on to the championship. They
still have a disputed game to play with
Wheeler, and Manager Carney claims
his club is going to make a clean sweep.
N'ilcs Team Strong ,
Another double bill is on tap when
Olscn meets Niles-Bement-l'ond on the
letter's field and Lewis nnd Franklin
clash in a single game. Uhe Mles-ise-mcnt-1'ond
aggregation has several
games yet with leading clubs, which
means trouble. This aggregation is fifth
n the race, duo to a late start, but on
the present form could beat any, team
in ttio league. ,,,,,,,
Another industrial club, Philadelphia
TcxtilcT" has an important contest
booked for decision tomorrow afternoon.
They are tied witli Stenton for the
econd-half title 'of the Philadelphia
Suburban League. A win for lextilc
will necessitate the playing of a series
to decide the season's title, wiiuc n
victory for Stenton gives them the
chnmpionship. -
Main Line Excited
Main Line League fans in general
nnd followers of the J. & J. Dobson
club in particular, are.. all worked up
over the contest at East Falls tomorrow
afternoon between the home club nnd
Nnrbcrth to decide who will meet Lnns
,lmvno in the ulay-off for the Main
Line title.
The game will be to decide the winner
of the second scries, as Narbcrth nnd
Dobson are tied. The contest was one
postponed from July 10. Manager Bob
Calhoun, of Dobson, will have Bill
Grevell on hand for the fray.
The Lansdownc, first-half champions
will play at the Strawbrldge grounds,
opposing the store boys. Another im
portant game on tomorrow's schedule
will be tho Ilarrowgatc-E. G. Budd
game on the former's grounds.

"E gave him the joblet's p;i'e him our support. He can't do it
alone; but if every American, regardless of politics in the U. S. A..
or Peace in Europe, would help a little bit, we could put it over.
There are a lot of us who are more interested in Beefsteak, at the right
price, than the Balkans, at any old price. There are more of us who
are more worried about the high cost of living in our own home town
than a scrap between a Jap and a Chinaman in the Shantung Peninsula.
This country isn't going to the Bow-wows ! Just because some Price
Pirates are still at' large, we shouldn't jump to the conclusion that
every merchant whose prices look high to us this year is a Profiteer,
or every man who asks for more money is a
Bolshevik.
The tide lias turned. The sentiment of the country
lias changed withiif a week. The Common Sense of
the common people, under intelligent and responsible
leadership, will pull us out of this trouble. But we've
all got to work and save, and if we don't start we'll
never get there.
One pleasant, practical way to start to save is to buy
something you need at a little less than you can afford
to pay. If $6, $8 and $10 looks high for a hat that you
used to buv for $5 remember that I have vour $5 hat for
$3.45.
