"The only thing to prevent this," the letter says: "is a protest vote from the worklngman. He must choose betweeu high standard living, and that of the underpaid European laborer.

Chaplain Bauer had been given five minutes by the chairman In which to make a plea for the seven men, con demned to death, who are confined In the Btate penitentiary. In closing his remarks he made use of the expression which brought forth the heated retort from Dr. Young. "Such a statement without qualifica tion Is outrageous," declared Dr. Young, "and I shall not let it pass without challenge. There are some ministers and some people In Portland who still believe that when a man commits a cold blooded murder he forfeits his right to lire.- I thank God that the Ten Commandments are still in effect in Oregon."

In addition to the full run ning story .. of the game as played ' each afternoon, ehowli every play as It comes up oi ball field at New York or Bos ton, there will be the report of that past master In baseball humor and psychology, Grantland Rice, and the scientific discus sions of how Boston won or New York lost by two of the greatest players in the history of the game, Trie Speaker, the Boston outfielder, and Larry Doyle, the New York second baseman. As a further testimonial to the ability of Speaker and Doyle, it is reminded that they were awarded the automobiles for the most valuable players in the American and National leagues. Since both baseball clubs are situated on the Atlantic seaboard It will be possible to have the descriptions of the games each afternoon complete In theflrst-edition of The Journal. " The accounts of Rice, Speaker and Doyle will follow the next afternoon. The first game opens tomorrow In New York and Wednesday the Red Sox and Giants play In Boston. They will alternate each day until one club has won four of the soven game series. In 1909 Tlttsburg and Detroit played the full seven games before a championship was reached.
