taeet yesterday and today bj ia Wash
ington and Dayton. Democrat have
fullv measured: the task' before them.
la this taak ther ar threa great per
give ths party leaden confidence. .
- First of thee la the citranee of the
President into the campaign and the re

Connecticut, Maryland and West Vir
itaiia; The third ia tha light that Sen
ator Borah threat to bolt, haa shed

Tha President's shot hit the bulla-,
eye. .The Bepoblieana reacted with bad
grace. . Tha moment hia worda aaw tha
light , they came back ia ehoraat
' . Beaatt To Base Charges. V (
"Oh, ha ia a sick man," meaning, of
coarse, that tha President haa lost Ma
mind. .That reply haa beta prepared In
. advance for hia expected entranea into
tha contest. They have had the Presi
dent eraxy for a year, but,, thia time
, ; when they said so hia words bnrned on1
tha skin of their temper like aeid. Only
tha othe, day Senator Spencer, a Bo
pobUean of Missouri, charged that See-
. retary Tumulty and not Mr. Wilson was
conducting th office of President and
- tha President had to. toll tha Senator
categorically that hia atatemeat was a
,4 falsehood. ' "..'.'-,
t Ths BepubBeans hav privately but

incapacitated and had asver recovered
and that every atatemeat that had noma

, , The statement kai oomiiletey,
' exploded tba iniumy bora of tha. parti-'
sen fear' and hatred of thia man Thia
waa WUsee i not erary Republicans ia
tha Efint, la the Middle West and la the
far West are saying ta ana another.
' Hs may he ; wrong, but ha ia Wilson
' and all there. But let ns see whether
er not h is wrong. '. t-
Appeal fi iaafica.
It la believed with good reason here
that tha President'a atatement must
have arrested the attention of milliov
of meatpd woman who have accepted
l tha ; Bepublicaa iaterpretatia of the
covenant of tba League pf Nations. The
Bepublicana have lied ao mnea about
wnra thsa anvthine else the affect of
their lies oa the masses of tha people
they have' derived. -: - v
Senator Fall said yestesday that tha
President'a atatement would have no
mora affect than it had in MIS when be
asked the people to give him a Dem
ocratic Congress, but it ia pointed out
by Democrata that tha eituation sow la
far different from what it then; wis.
. Tha League of Nationa issue waa not
then 4efwo tha people with tha honor
of tha country and tha permanent peace
of tha world at stake.
Beaidea the President's, apgeai ia far
different ia .spirit. Today ho rises
above party and above men. Bo men
tions neither the names of parties nor
the names of candidates. He pieces
himself n tha lofty plana af justice.
His eyes ere abut to personalities! and
factions.. He alma to roach that sens,
that feeling, that emotion, that thought
in tha American people that framed the
Declaration of Independence, that rati
fied tha constitution, that hav welcomed
the races of men to ita shores, that have
given law and order to a continent,
that have poured its charity oat like
water to other nations, la suffering and
' abed ita blood for civilisation. It ia to
that amotion and aanaa the .Preaident
baa appealed. -V
, t Cox Catchea Spirit. f .,,
. Every day that pasaea mora and.' more
convinces tha party that Governor Cax
is showing, himself fitted to succeed
Wilson. Nothing ia said to have mors
. pleased the President in monthe "nhs
the' atatemant of the Governor .that
the ideal eonUlned ia the League of
Nations had token hold of hit very soul
and that it bad riven him the strength
" te pursue tba campaign without fatigue.
' Leaders bare feci that tha Democratic
candidate haa- aaught in .his heart the
asirit of tha Covenanter. I . ,-.
- Reinforced by Wilson, they oxpeeU
Cos .to act hia audisnee on fire with the
Kwer and eloquence of crusader. They
lieva that tha candidate haa just been
reborn into a higher sense of hia great
. tespoaaibility and of tha peat oppor

aan people. Surely the candidate ia of
fered ona of tha greateat momenta la

One great barrier bare his way. It is

aooa, N -. .
Tbo victory, which was far more lmV
prossiv than ths aeor would appear
to indicate, waa we by perfect team
play, sparkling with brilliant individu-x
al work em th part of tha Iadiaaa,
which mad tba efforts of the Superbas
dull by eossparisea.
The ODeniaeT santeet . waa witaesaed
by a throng af baseball fans which
tea ted, bat did aot vrflow the aormal
capacity f tie Ebbete Field. Aeord-
ing to tha mclal figures ef the Na
tional Commission, 83,873 persona paid
admiatioa t th Brooklyn park while
at least aaothe. thousand aaa be added
when bows paper men aad other semi

The gate reeclpte ware announced as)
79,049. Ia both attendance aad gat
receipt these figure surpass th best .
individual gam' record mads at Brook-
rta tho aeries ef 1910.
FaatbaU Weatbe Prevails.
The gsms waa played under eewdi
tioas far from being ideal for baee
ball. A stiff north wind blew out of a
cold gray sky aad th tomperatur waa
reminiscent of football rather thaa .
Amsriea great summer sport
Bo cold did it grow as ths contest 4e '
veloped that the frigid atcosphsr ap
peared te chill th enthusiasm af ths
spectator aad as CI eve la d cheeked
each effort of th Brooklyn, players te
broom real, far tor ia the -battle, t.
cheering aad rooting faded away antil
aaly.oeeaaioaal bursts of applause re-
warded outstanding 'pLays. "
Tba high wind also played havoc with'
th fielding ef fly balls, of which there
were aa anususl aumber. Th gale
carried the falling sphere' ia weird
spirals which caused the waiting field
era to elrel about ander the ball Uke
a retriever locating a wounded bird-It
wa this laability to judge properly th 7
direct ios of ths descending ball that
paved the way for Cleveland's tint
aeor. - - . . . ' ..
; Begardles of wind or weather, how
ever, there remained no questioa . la f
the minds of tha faaa aa to which team
played tha bettor baJL ' . x
Both th team and individual play
ef tha winaera waa superior te that of
B-ooklyn.' Coveleskle pitched a mas
terly gam aad held th opposinf bat
ters ia cheek throughout too contest.
He was backed by perfect fielding f
both infield and outfield. Sewell play
ed a remarkable game at abort, show- .
ing absolutely ao signs of Bsrvensaes
such as might have beea expected of
a youngster throws Into a world aerie
ander the conditions which marked

Speaker Iaipassskl Barrier.
Manager Speaker ia center field pre
ed a barrier beyoad which it waa al
most impossible t driv i the ball and
mad sensational catches far to th
right i aad left ot his normal position
with aa abandon which bronght. cheers
eve from th most rabid ef the bom
te-m followers.' Cttchei ONelll, with
his two tim ly rua scoring double waa
the atar batsmsa for tho victors. For
Brookly tha featu-.e Individual play
of tha grace was Griffith's woaderfu,
catch . of Speaker's tor. in drlvs to
right, .eld in ths fifth inning. The bail
sh ' th tba bat of the ''levelaud uav
ger with a. report like tie crack of
whip and aailed to th extreme limits
of right fie1 It appeared to be a aor
tal extra baa hit bat Griffith started
back with th era. ' the bat and ball
and wheu he reached th retaining wail,
prang- big up s gainst tha concrete
and caught th ball ia ona band, fully
tea feet above ground.

rumer an first after th close of th
fourth Inning, going oat la order for
the rv iniader of the gams. Manager
Robinson .f Brooklyn triad every arti

v! 'ory in th closing innings, sending
two pinch hitters i .to tho gams without
effect, which explains ia part the, ap-prarsneo-
