that are now being said dispel any idea
that the little clashes that came in de-

any degree that good feeling which al

of Virginia gentlemen when nothing has
happened to disturb it.

Studying in Paris.

Alexander Harrison. the famous
painter of marine pieces, has a. studio
in Brittany, and a young woman who
met him there in the early summer
said:
Mr.. Harrison's studio is in Concar-
neau, a little seaside town devoted to
sardine fishing. His windows overlook
the sea, and up and down pass con-
tinually, on the glittering water, the
little sardine boats with their brown
sails. Everywhere sardine nets hang
drying-huge nets in weave as fine and
frail as lacesjn color a. deep blue. zee
Il asked Mr.. Harrison if he thought
American art students did well to come
abroad to study.
HE looked from his window at the
picturesque scene, and he said that I'M
doubtedly the atmosphere was more
artistic in Europe than in America.
He thought, though. that Paris, as
a city to study and work in. was over
rated. To illustrate his meaning, he
said that a certain rich mans son, af-
ter three years in Paris, wrote home to
his father in st. Joseph.
$stDear father: ct have made up my
mind to set to work. Please let me
know at your earliest convenience
whether it was painting, architecture
or music I came to Paris to study. -

CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES.

can league-and the rules governing the
series viii be discussed thoroughly with
the players. The Importance OF pre-
serving decorun on the field, provision
for ground rules and other details We're
gone over thoroughly.
Both teams approach the crucial con-
tests with forces in remarkably good
condition. Outhelder Slagle of the Ma
tionals and Shortstop Davis of the
White Sox are the only notable excep-
tions. The former will not be able to
play during the series, in all probability

experienced outfelder. Slagle's absence
cannot in fairness be figured as cut
ting no figure in the result. At the
same time it is conceded that the Spuds
have a splendid substitute in Hoffman,
who has been filling Siagle's shoes so
we'll for the last week, batting hard and
fielding finely. Chance has declared of
Hoffman that he is one of the finest
outfielders in the country.
The rest Of the Spuds appear to be in
tip top shape. Mordecai Brown, whose
Caiantkiller arm was out of commission
for while, is reported to be in as good
condition as ever, DR.. Harley Parker de-

Betting indications are that the pre-
vailing odds Of 2 to 1 with the Cubs as
favorites will remain stationary until
the first game is called at least Ac-
counts Of large wagers being taken
seem to be exaggerated, for while the
Cubs are begging for bets, the White
Sox's patrons are backward about de-
claring themselves financially. prefer
ring to wait and see the outcome of the
initial contest.
It is possible that the odds may jump
to a to 1 with few takers. but the
West Side enthusiasts are not likely TO
let their enthusiasm run away with
them to any such distance as that
would indicate. AS a matter of facs
local fans concede that the odds of :
to 1 hardly are justified by rigid COM

two teams Should the White Sox win

AFTER FOREIGN MARKET.
Joint Convention of Three Live Stock
Associations Is Held.

convention Of the American National
Live Stock association, the Cattle
Raisers' association and the Corn Belt
Meat Producers association was held
here today and plans were discussed
for securing a better foreign market
for American live stock products
The call for the convention says IN
part:
TT is of great importance to the live
stock industry that more extended for
eign markets be secured in order to
dispose of our increasing surplus of
meat products and insure good prices
for our live stock at home. The
United States raises more live stock
than it can consume and, on the. other
hand there is marked scarcity of
meat in many continental countries
We should be able to supply this
shortage abroad. Under fair and rea-
sonable international trade relations
we believe that larger proportion of

NEITHER SIDE COULD SCORE.
High School and Washburn second
Football Team Quit Even.

While the varsity team of Washburn
was walloping the Kansas City Athletic
club at Kansas City Saturday after

Washburn team. Thegane was close
all the way through. neither side haV-
ing any advantage over the other and
neither side being able to score
Both sides tried the new football
game repeatedly. The forward pass
was worked by the high school at one
time for thirty yards. Quarterback
kicks were resorted to quite frequent
" and consistent gains were made on
this play For the high school Schmidt,
Cowgirl. Willard, He'll, and Mcfarland
played the best game. For Washburn
Lee Bowman, and Hoaglin were the
best. Bowman, He'll and Mcfarland
did the puntlng for their teams ana
honorswere. about even. High school
made their first downs but once on
straight football, while Washburn
made theirs but twice.
Washburn started the game by kick
ing off to high school who returned the
ball fifteen yards. Mcfarland punted
about twenty-five yards. After q few
exchanges of punts Karnes of WASH
burn tried for field goalwith the ball
on the twenty yard line. The ball went
wide. Most of the playing in the first
half was done in the high schools ter
Titory Towards the end of the half
the high school worked the forward
pass for thirty yards and Hell followed
with a quarterback kick for eighteen
yards. This brought the ball to the
twenty yard line in Washburn's ter
ritory as the half ended.
In the second half the playing was
done almost entirely in Washburn's
territory. High school early in the
half reached the three yard line but
Washburn held and the ball was punted
out of danger. High school tried for d
field goal but this Willard missed by
wide margin. Washburn towards the
end of the half carried the ball into
high school territory where afters an
