The Philadelphia Athletics won the
first game of the world's series by a
4 to 1 score.
Philadelphia, Oct 17. Who wilt
stop them Cubs? This profound prob
lem, which was agitating the fans of
the National league circuit two or
three months ago, Is now up to the
Philadelphia Athletics, and those
young gentlemen will labor enthusias
tically this week In an Attempt to
find the right answer to the vexing
question. Indeed, the day of the first
contest for the world's championship
finds the American league champs
in a frame of mind almost conceited, ;
since one and all, they reply to the .
problem with the confident aasur
ance. "We are the gents you are in- j
quiring about. We will stop them:
Cubs."
Eliminating local pride, which
doesn't win ball games, the problem
of picking a winner of the world's
series commenced today Is, as the
neighbors say, hedged about with dif
ficulties. Each club has Its Individ
ual stars, but taking the two organ
lxatlons of ball-playing gentlemen by
and large, up one side and down the
other, the experts who have money
to post on the result consider it a
"hoss and hoss" proposition. What Is
to be will be, and team work, Jupl
ter Pluvlus and the umpires' livers
will probably have something to do
with picking the 1910 world's
champs.
Taking the teams as a whole, t.ie
Cubs have it on the Athletics in the
matter of experience, length of ser
vice and organization, which com
bine to make the Chicago outfit me
most harmonious and smooth running
baseball machine ever known In any
age or clime.- On the other hand,
the Athletics have youth, esprit and
ginger, which In business, high fi
nance, politics and other activities,
as well as the national game have of
ten Bcrved to make the old veterans
look like pikers. The Cubs are old
bears, for the most- part, and they
may be depended upon to play the
game from the drop of the hat, and
not to stop playing until the returns
are all In. Yet they have been in the

game long enough to acquire philos
ophy, and they will not be broken
hearted If they lose. The Athletics
are having their first chance at the
big doings, and they go into the con
test with the feeling of a Japanese
general who Is firmly committed to
the policy of victory or harlkarl. To
the Cubs, victory means beer and
skittles and transient fame. The
youngsters of the Athletics conceive
victory as Immortal glory.
Games will be played In Philadel
phia Oct. 17 and 18, and In Chicago
Oct. 20 and 21. In case more games
are necessary, one will be played In
Philadelphia on the 22 and In Chi
cago on the 23d. The umpires will
be O'Day and Rlgler from the' Na
tionals. Connolly and Sheridan from
the Americans. So far Chicago has
won four world's championships and
Philadelphia none. Pitchers Coombs
and Bender are the Athletics' chief re
liance. Great Crowd Present.
The gates of Shtbo park were
thrown open at 11 o'clock and ten
thousand fans were In line to see the
opening game of the world's cham
pionship series. At noon the bleach

COACH .BODIE .GETS .SURPRISE
Washington Team . Gives Leader
Some Fine Points at Football.
University of Washington, Seattle.
For the first time this season Coach
Ollmour Doble has resumed an opti
mistic air regarding the chances of
the University of Washington football
team. Doble was greatly surprised at
the work accomplished by the local
squad last Saturday in defeating the
husky Seattle high school squad.
Doble believes that he has found
some phenoms for the year. Pike
Cook and Cahlll, who have had ex
perience in football, proved that they,
as well as other old men, have the
power of finding holes In their oppo
nents' line.
The first college game occurs on
Saturday, In which Washington plays
the University of Puget Sound at Ta
coma.
The new rules operated In excellent
shape for Washington last Saturday.
Mass plays were absent, and the team
often resorted to the fake plays so
characteristic of the new game. Polly
Grimm showed his same old class as
a yard gainer, and his brother. Warren
Orlmm, is even more reliable with the
forward pass. Eaklns Is punting the
pigskin harder and farther this year
than he did last

HURT FROM ENGINE
Redding. Herman Bailers, a cook
employed In a local hotel, has two
large bumps on his head and a slight
headache, as the result of going to
sleep on a railroad track with his
head on the rail. The Shasta Lim
ited, one of the fastest passenger
trains on the road, struck Bailers and
he was found apparently lifeless by
the train crew. A few minutes later
he sat up and rubbed his head, where
two bumps were the only evidences of
Its contact with the engine.
The train was going forty miles an
hoar. The cap on Bailers' head was
torn off and ground Into fragments.
He was hurled to the side of the road

big business firms and others to whom
Its possible postponement might in

At Lloyds the rate quoted for In

After WROTE "BATTLE HYMN
OF THE REPUBLIC"
Famous Woman Succumbs to Disease
at Home of Daughter in South
Portsmouth, R. I Had Limited
School Education But Possessed
Exceptional Talent Husband's
Fame Hardly Less Than Her Own
Children Win Distinction.
Boston, Oct 17. Julia Ward Howe
famed author of "The Battle Hymn of
the Republic," died today at the home
of her daughter, Mrs. Maude Elli
ott at South Portsmouth, Rhode Is
land. She had been seriously ill for
many weeks, and death was not un
expected. Her Life.
Julia Ward Howe was born in New
York City on the 27th day of May,
1819. Her ancestry, on her father's
side included such men as Roger Wil
liams and Governor Samuel Ward of
Rhode Island, while Bhe was distant
ly related to General Marion, famil
iarly known as the "Swamp Fox."
Her father was a man of wealth and
was president and founder of the
New York Bank of Commerce.
The educational facilities in her
time were not very great ao that she
was compelled to leave school at 16
years of age. All the knowledge she
acquired afterwards was by means of
private tutors and through her own
individual efforts.
When Julia Ward was 22 years old
she spent the summer in Boston and
there met Dr. Samuel Gridley Howe,
whom she afterwards married. A
week after she was married, in 1843,
she and her- husband went abroad in
company with another bridal couple.
Dr. and Mrs. Horace Mann. They
visited different countries on the con
tinent and it was while Mrs. Howe
was in Rome in March, 1844, that her
first child was born.
The same year they returned to
America and took up their residence
In Boston, where Dr. Howe was close
ly Identified with the Perkins Insti
tution for the Blind. She and her
husband conducted an anti-slavery
paper In Boston before the war. Af
ter the conflict she was deeply inter
ested in such causes as woman's
suffrage, prison reform, peace, etc.,
and she was noted as a Unitarian
writer, preacher and lecturer.
Had Famous Hneband.
At this time it seemed that the
fame of Dr. Howe would completely
overshadow that of his talented wife.
In his early career he bad fought in
the war for Greek Independence and
had also aided the Poles In their
struggle for liberty. After his mar
riage he devoted himself chiefly to
the work of educating the hllnd. His
fame is Inseparably connected with
the story of Laura Biidgman, the un
fortunate In whom It is scarcely an
exaggeration to say that he developed
an Intellect and a souL At the age
of 2 years the child lost eight and
hearing through scarlet fever, and
consequently soon forgot how to speak,
In this girl, to whom every avenue of
knowledge save feeling was closed.
Dr. Howe discovered a keen Intellect.
He patiently experimented until he
had invented methods of communlca
tlon and taught her to read, new, play
the piano and communicate her ideas.
In this work Dr. Howe was greatly
aided by his wife.
During the course of her long life
Mrs. Howe was at the very forefront
of many movements which had to do
with American literature, philan
thropy, and the emancipation of her
sex. From the early days or ner wo
manhood, she was a woman of conse
quence, a woman of affairs, a woman
who had a very high conception of
the duties of life. Although of the
gentlest spirit, Mrs. Howe was for
years a most ardent woman sunra-
glst.
A Renowned Anthonys.
Mrs. Howe was a frequent contrlbu.
tor to some of the best magazines of
the country. She was also a poetess
who found a ready response in the
hearts of the people and then, as an
evidence of her versatility, she turn
ed her pen to play writing, at which
she was also successful. Perhaps
her most famous work was the "Bat-
tie Hymn of the Republic," which Is 4
taught to every school child In the
country today. This work was writ-
ten by Mrs. Howe after a vWt to the
camp of the Army of the Potomao
during the war.
Mrs. Howe was one of the orgs- 4
nlzers of the New England Woman's
Club, which became one of the most
influential clubs of its kind In Am-
erica, and for many years was presi-
dent of the Massachusetts Federation
of Women's Clubs.

count Durand May Be Making
Example.
Tacoma, Wash., Oct. 17. Because
of the announcement of Director Du
rand that this city's census had been
padded by 33,000 fake names, lead
ing business men and commercial or
ganizations today started a movement
for a recount. Mayor Fawcett i
heading the move. Tacoma's popu
lation was 82,972, an Increase of 11
per cent. A mass meeting of the
commercial club members is called
for this afternoon and the board of
directors of the chamber of com
merce will also meet. Resolution-,
demanding a recount will be made.
A direct appeal will most probably
be made to Director Durand as the -logical
procedure but many of the -civic
bodies are urging that the city
go over his head and appeal to Sec
retary of Commerce and Labor NageU
or President Taft,
Mr. Durand'8 padding charges are"
generally" considered lightly and aa
unwarranted by facts. Members of
the civic organizations . declare that '
if any of the regular enumerator
were guilty of padding they should be
punished to the fullest extent of the
law. Tacomans feel that after the
"near recount" aa they call it of
September, was "made. Special Agent ' .
W. A. McKenzie either double crossed '
them when he told them in a con
ference Just prior to his departure
from the city that the population fig
ure would be between 104,000 and
107,000 or that Director Durand has
picked on Tacoma as an example to
the entire United States "penalizing
beyond all bounds of reason," as
some put it that the lesson might
have the maximum strength.
General indignation was expressed
against Special Agent McKenzie be
cause of the hurried manner in which
the recent recheck was made and the
small number of men that he em
ployed to do the work. Numerous
claims of injustice were made and
one instance pointed out was that In
the recheck the enumerators found
one district containing 28 residences
that had been missed completely dur
ing April work, McKenzie, it is charg
ed, arbitrarily refused to allow the
names of the occupants of the home
to be added in the reenumeration.
Denies Durand Charges.
Seattle, Oct. 17. R. W. HIU, locat
census supervisor, said today that the
first figures turned into the census
department will be found substanti
ally correct when the count by gov
ernment agents is completed. He de
nied there had 'been padding. His
remarks were called forth by the an
nouncement of Census Director Du
rand, that Seattle, Portland, Tacoma
and several other western cities had
heavily padded their returns.
WHO WILL GET TITLE
STANLEY KETCHELL HELD
Chicago, Oct. 17. To just whom-
the title of middleweight champion
will fall now that Stanley Ketchell Is-
dead is causing much speculation
among sports. It appears that Billy
Papke will gain it if Chicago fans
have anything to say. Sam Langford
whom Ketchell dodged, would be the
logical successor but it Is believed
he hhs grown out of the middleweight
class.
Although work has not yet been he-
