"I 1O is the most famous woman IN
w this country? You will not have
to think before you answer.
Helen Miller Gould"
Born less than 35 years ago, very
quiet in her manner, devoted to no fad
taking up no special profession, Miss
Gould is still the most prominent Amer
lean woman of her day, and probably
the most prominent young woman in
the world.
From her earliest childhood Helen
Gould has been called little" Helen.
AS a small girl she was tiny, and even
now she is only five feet six. When her
father died IL years ago she was very
slight and, it seemed to her friends,
shorter than she is now. She was dark,
very silent, very undemonstrative, not
dressy, and in no way obtrusive. No
one thought that, at that age, she would
ever become a great philanthropic fig
ure In the worlds work.

Cairo Cannot Possibly Win the
X. l. T. Pennant.
The Egyptians Shut Out More Than
Any Other Club This
Season.
TAKE DEFEAT WITH BAD GRACE

"Paducah has the pcnnnt cinched and
that's no dream" Chief Lloyd, the vet
eran pitcher stated last night, as he
viewed the result of the Vincennes- Cal
70 game. Il said all along that Paducah
would win the pennant when Cairo'-
daubcrs went down again, and here is
my prophecy fulfilled
Chief Lloyd is ball player of ability
and knowledge, and while the fans may
not know it Paducah is largely indebted
to Lloyd for winning this year.
IL was Bonno who shut Cairo out three
times in one series recently and too all
the ginger out of the Parasites, and Bon
no would probably still be in Cincinnati
or some other town had not Chief Lloyd
given President Gus Thompson a line
on him. Bonno is the cause of the Par
asites' downfall, and while the other
members of the team were factors also.
Bonno probably deserves first credit.
Chief Lloyd got Lally here and effected
the return of Bateman, whose hitting
has been the cause of more than score
of runs since he returned to Paducah.
IL is singular fact that Cairo has
been shut out more in the last month
than any team in the league. Bonno
turned the trick three times and Hen
derson once. Vincennes yesterday did
the thing again and the fans in Cairo
have hunted the tall and uncut. The
talk of thrown games" Is all bosh
Cairo never could have won from Padu-
cab had il not been for their superior
pitching staff.
Paducah should be proud of the pen
nant. Cairo is taking her defeat with
very bad grace, and is trying to make it
appear that Paducah did not win the
pennant fairly, but this is about all that
could be expected of Cairo. Paducah
took her loss last year with becoming
resignation, and Cairo might as wen do
it.
At present it is impossible for Padu-
cab to lose the pennant. Cairo has only
one more game to play,-the one today
and even il she should win and Pa
ducah should lose today, Cairo could not
win the pennant.
The local fans feel good, and will bel
ready for Pittsburg tomorrow.
A lot of people think that Pittsburg
will not "try TO play"
That is where they have the chant
pions for nearly four years of the Ma
tional league sized up wrong. These
players know what a victory il would
be for a minor league team like Padu-
cab to win from crack $4,000 players,
such as Pittsburg carries, and that Pa
ducah will play like fiends to win.
The Pittsburg Nationals cannot afford
TO be defeated by Paducah. Ii would
not be to her credit, and fine game may
be expected tomorrow. The indications
are that the crowd of the season will
turn out. IL is worth double the price
of admission simply TO see Pittsburg at
practice, and to see the champions of the
world for three years play ball is some
thing not often possible to people in
small cities like Paducah.
