Charlcs Murphy. president of the Chicago Ma

statement last night:

tional League pennant by the Cubs we claim.

achievement ever accomplished IN organized base

No gamer ball club has trod the diamond,
and in the just passed have had be-

in very few games indeed have been able to
present our full lineup he field. l can readily
understand why every loyal Chicagoan thinks so
much of the Cubs. When it looked darkest the
PLAYERS were optimistic full of confidence, and
they have always believed that they would win
the National League flag the third time in sue

The New York Giants have put up a great hsht'

all through the game, but the most serious
trouble came between the halves of the ninth
inning, in the right field bleachers, when score
of policemen were required to stop each Of two
fights. The nastiest incident during the actual
play in the seventh inning, when rooter
threw bottle at King the Chicago catcher
about to take DoyIe's high foul HIS aim
was bad. however. and no harm was done.
Two ambulances and four surgeons were in
the grounds, but their services were not re-
Quired during the game. One of the surgeons
bound up the wound on Chances neck where he
hit by bottle during the wild rush at the
end, and there were a few who needed attention
through too eager efforts to get home, but the
remarkable freedom from accidents not the
least wonderful feature of a scene that will
never die in the memories of those who saw it.
Hope springs eternal in the human breast"
wrote Pope and never was there a greater
emplification of it than yesterday. Every train
that came In on the elevated bore its quota Of
New York adherents. only to be met, after l
o'clock, by returning hundreds who assured
them that even reserved seat tickets would not
get them within the grounds. But the new
comers surged in their mad attack, first on
the chute and then the main entrance, and
even when the game ended the police had to
fight hard to clear Eighth avenue so that the
crowd coming out could make its way to cars
mounted policemen all through the long after
noon pleading vainly that the gate be opened
Spectators there were in plenty. and they
reaped a harvest. But they did not get the
tickets they had from the management, and
most of their tickets were rain checks. Many
paid fancy prices for tickets seeming TO offer
some hope of admission after the gates were
closed but found that they had wasted their
money, as no attention paid to the slips
they carried.
Hundreds. and perhaps thousands, saw the
game without paying admission, in one way or
another, but perhaps none could equal the record
of a burly Irishman. who went wild with joy
when the Cubs scored four runs in the third
Inning. A man next to him asked him If he
were really roofing for the Cubs, and he replied
by saying that he was, and had come by fast
freight from the Windy City TO see the game.
Il had not a cent when 1 started said he,
Il have not a cent now, and don't expect to
have a cent when I get back But I'm here,
and we're going to win.

Washington Oct. s.-The Yankees lost their last
game of the season to Washington to-day, and, fin

of knowing that they lose nosmore games this

Mr.. Philips Observations.

Boston. Mass. Nov. 30, 1908.
I am optimistic regarding the fu-
ture of my race in this country; we
are surely rising I have travelled
very extensively over this country in
the last decade. and find that one
of the things that is greatly impeding
the races progress, is dis-union a
mong us, caused largely by selfish
leaders, who, If they themselves can
not be first, they will move. as ii
We're, Heaven and Earth, in their
endeavor TO kill. If possible. the real
leader that is doing us good.
In my opinion. there is another
thing that is doing US an incalcua-
bic injury, and that is the gross i'm
moral characters very generally ru-
mored 70 exist in some of our pulpits.
and the South by no means has n
monopoly on such immoral charac-
ters.
one OF the promising signs In the
South is that the young people are
Kidding themselves of that class of
teachers, and believe il is far better
10 teach by example than by preach
ing. The stream can never rise a
DoVe It's fountain. When / think of
the havoc these immoral leaders are
doing TO the young people of our
race, am led TO cry out with the La
mentation Of Jeremiah: 90, that nv
mead were waters. and mine eyes a
fountain Of tears. that I might weep
day and night for the slain OF the
daughters OF my people"
The people of the South have not
the educational advantages that we
nave in the North, and they have
been wont to look to us for light and
example. We often hear Il remarked
by some OF the foolish people of the
North, that the people OF the South
are behind the sun. Presumably
they mean that they are In darkness:
but all things considered, IL we are
TO Judge by the life the people OF the
Soul are living, in contrast to those
that make the remark, they them
selves are the ones that are in dark
ness.
There is one thing we would do
well to remember. that a people Is
largely judged By their leaders. II
is therefore very obvious that the
leaders should be OF the purest type
Notwithstanding the retarding In
nuences that have herein mentioned
see bright and hopeful signs OF the
ultimate triumph OF our people.
Very respectfully,
w. II. PHILLIPS.

The Lodge was in the act of sing

and they had no recourse but to de-

The ladies brought with them a

FAIN WOULD SING.

Raise me above the winds that blow
A taste Of care, for I would go
Into the trystings of the Muse,
The dreamland that the Fairies use
Where Fancy sits and meditates.
Or Nymph her dreamy longing safes
Thou spirit wings of posey, fly
With me into the space-blue sky,
Seal every trace Of outer sight.
Where searching eye of Day or Night
Canst not disturb my solitude.
Or give a color TO my mood.
Move every hinderance of rule.
Or any precept taught in school:
Clear way the requisite OF form.
Just leave my spirit free and warm
With all its longings-there to pour
Upon the space of time its store
or songs just for their own sweet
sake.
Far from the mist Of pain or ache,
Free as the zephyrs Of the spring
Fain would I sing.
