The Cardinals forced their way into the first division by winning five of six games, displacing . the Cubs, who only broke even. Philadelphia won four in six, pasting the Brooklyns. -Cards. Look Better. The work of Miller Huggins men on their present trip has been a revela tion to Eastern fans. The Cardinals look- bettertethan they have since the early days of Roger Bresnahan. The champion Giants barely were able to split the seires with them, while the Brooklyns were overcome in all four games. In Boston, George Stallings finally has got his-team 'going. After break ing even with Cincinnati, the braves right, at Pittsburgh, making a clean sweep. A Neck and Neck Race. While this spurting by lower-placed teams was going on, the New Yorks and Cincinnatis continued the re markable game of regularly winning on the same day only losing when the other did. Without a break that really could be called one, this had been kept up from May 25th until yes. terday. The -"only exceptions came May 31st and June 2nd. Neither had gained or lost ground for nearly three weeks until the Reds lost to Philadel phia yesterday, while the New Yorks were beating the Cubs. Teams below the three leaders were in the limelight almost as much in American League play as in the Na tional. The Athletics were only trip- ed two times in seven, but the Wash ngtons had rather a disastrous week of It. They dropped four straight, to St. Louis anr Chicago, and rafter tak ing a brace of games from the, White Sox were trounced by the tail-end Cleveland. Things are going badly for Griffiths' men. Detroit lost almost as much ground as Washington, although the Tigers should pick up this week, having a se ries of games with the New Yorks, who have been losing with regularity. St. Louis has worked up until it is right at the Tigers' heels. The Browns had to play fast ball, however, to keep ahead of the Bostons. , ,The Red Sox won five out of seven garnet. They started the hew week with a smashing victory over the Browns today. , Another division team which has done excellent work in the last two weeks is the Chicago White Sox. The Sox have been using the stick to bet ter effect and their defense continues up to its wonted strength. Joe Renz ; ust escaped pitching his second no lit game in two weeks, Wednesday, jesting Walter Johnson and allowing but on doubtful hit.

C, June 14. This section was visited by good rains again last night. At Red Banks, 15 miles from here on the Seaboard, the rainfall is said to have been very heavy. During - a severe electrical storm, accompanying the rain, the Yadkin power transmission lines were put out of icommission between here and Maxton. The company's phone line was also out of commission. Line men went from here early this morn ing and repaired the damage. Between 15 and 20 peaple went from here to Wrightsville this morn ing and returning this evening on the late trains. They expressed them selves as being delighted with their trip. At 9 o'clock tonight Mr. Thos. N. Higley, register of deeds, is reported as being in a dying condition, hav ing been steadily sinking since 2 o'clock this afternoon. Mr. Higley has not enjoyed good health for the past year or two but had been at his office regularly until two weeks ago when he was taken sick, but after a few days, improved since that he was able to be up about the house.

Vice President Capps and other of ficials of the Seaboard spent several hours here today, arriving on a pri vate car on Train 14 and leaving this eveningon 13. They were going south and decided to spend a day in Lumberton. They enjoyed an auto ride around town and went short dis tances in the country in different di rectidns and seemed much pleased with their visit. Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Mason, of Hope Mills, pasfled through here this morning en route to Wilmington;' where Mrs. Mason will enter a hos pital. Miss Rose Jenkins, of Fairmont, was operated on at the Thompson Hospital for appendicitis yesterday and is reported tonight as doing well. ' NEW BASIS OF PAY FOR RAILWAY MAIL SERVICE Size Of Car Instead Of Weight Ot . Mail Determining Factor 1 (Washington dispatch in New York Herald) On the heels of an- announcement that the Joint Congressional Com mission on Railway Mail Pay had de cided that compensation of railroads and for carrying the mails 'should be on thbasis of space rather than weight, thtiHouse Committee on Post office and Post Roads today favorably reported a bill to carry out this idea. The bill, however, does- not stand much chance of being passed at this session. To make it attractive to Dem ocrats a "spoils" provision was in serted which would compel all assist ant postmasters who are now under the civil service to take examinations. This would open up the way for the appointment of Democrats to replace Republicans. The bill is "loaded" with a dozn other postal reform propositions which thus far have failed of enactment. Jonathan Bourne, one-time Senator from Oregon; and chairman of the Com- . i-i THE. QMrv tH oxe vouv. vmy w ' rm JWJE-J ft ?E.Wr.CTU 600D RtPiSOK'. mission on Railway Mail Pay, issued a statement today showing that, under the present system space as well as weight are the determining factors about 90 per cent, of the compensa tion being based on the weight of mail carried. onder the committee's schejne there is no weighing and no cost to the Government in ascertainment. Four units are adopted, a 60-foot car, a 30-foot car, a 15-foot car and pouch mail. Under the weighing system pad ding of mails is possible during a weighing period, said the report. Un der the suggested plan there is no possibility of any dishonesty. The Government is protected, as the sole right of authorization of car space in any of the four units rests with the Postmaster-General and the railroad receives a credit the instant it com plies with his authorization." The commission will recommend payment oh the basis of the car mile and . additional payment as terminal charges. The rates under consider ation for a round trip for a railway postoffice car vary from $5.50 for a 60-foot car to $4.20 for a 15-foot apart ment car. The line rates vary from 21 cents for a 60-foot storage car to 6 cents for a 15-foot apartment car.
