Do We Chance Our Size?

We all have read such phrases as
"his form seemed to dilate," and "he
suddenly looked mean and shrunken."
Without doubt one can and one does,
under certain circumstances, as in Of
Tended dignity, extend the height, di-
late the chest. and SO become larger,
and fear may cause sort of collapse
that makes one appear quite shrunken.
These are real and commonplace
things. There is something else al
lied to the foregoing which is not
quite so simple, says New York Week
ny. We associate grand things with
bigness. and mean things with small.
ness. By some curious trick of our
nervous system we no sooner learn
that a person has done a noble deed
than his form looks noble, and If we
hear that the deed is mean his form
appears mean. If another is proved
intellectually excellent, we mark the
width of his forehead. Should he sub
sequently do anything disgraceful, we
think his forehead mean-looking. And
indeed, we ourselves may feel broad
or mean in brow, but all these thing!
are mental illusions.

WASHINGTON, d. c., October A.
The Philadelphia Athletics lost the first
game of to-day's double header with
Washington through the effective pitch
ing of Johnson and the brilliant sup
port accorded him 1t was Il battle
between Plank and Johnson. and the
Washingtonian had the better OF 1t.
as we'll as the superior support. The
locals won out in the tenth inning be-
fore any batter had been retired.
In the second game the Athletics won
with the utmost ease, through the eff
fectivcness of Dygert and the inef-
fectiveness of Hughes. who was h
hard. The locals fielded loosely In the
second game. their work being in sharp
contrast to that in the first game. Dy-
CERT was In brilliant form, and had the
Nationals guessing throughout, keep

tered that at no time was there a
chance to score Hughes was wild,
walking five batters. The batting OF
Shipke and Milan featured the first
game, while that of Oldring and Muir
ply, for Philadelphia. was noteworthy.
BY losing the first game to-day the
Athletics greatly decreased their
chances of winning out in the pennant
race, it being necessary to take both

lose three in order for Mack to win

DETROIT S REMNANT
ALMOST CERTAIN NOW
To-Day's Game at St. Louis Will
Decide Race in American
League.

4 ~
BY winning only one game from Washing
ton yesterday and losing the first Manager
Connie Mack's plucky Athletics are almost
certainly out of the running for the Ameri-
can League pennant race. There Is but the
barest possibility of the Athletics beating
Dttrout out, and this depends moro upon a
complete reversal of form by Detroit than
anything else. In order for Macks men to
win they must win both games from Wash
ington to-day, and Jennings's Michiganders
must lose all three remaining games to ST.
Louis to-day and Tomorrow. Philadelphia
may win both games Mt Washington to-day,
but there Is hardly n possibility that the st.
Louis Browns, strong they admittedly
are will be able to take all three gam s
from Detroit. with the leaders in such a re-
sistless stride they have shown in the
past fortnight. and with the pennant de-
pending upon this final series.
Hugh Jennings and his Detroit team may
therefore be congratulated as pennant win
ncrs. for they have almost as surely won II
as II 1t Were already declared II Detroit
wiz. to-day this will settle the fight, whether
Philadelphia win or lose either or both
games.
1t has been great season and n brilliant
battle for the honrs. Detroit's pluck and

moment contributed largely to the result.
