Errors by Childers and Frisk lost
the game for Seattle, / to 2, yester-
day. All the while the Indians were
backing up Holm's pitching in good
style. Seattle got six hits off Holm
and the clever fielding of the rest
of the team cut off many another
smash. Rowan was the only salt
water player who got away with
two bases. Seattle scored a run in
the first and couldn't get over
again during the 10 innings.
The Indians put Clynes past the
judges stand in the seventh and
tied the score. Neither side accum-
ulated anything in the ninth. In
the tenth Hulen scored the winning
run. Spokane has won three out
of four of the series, and now is
ahead of Aberdeen again and set
tied in second place
Aberdeen lost to Vancouver, 2 to
4, and gave Spokane the chance to
slip ahead once more. They are
only four games behind Vancouver,
and there are 80 more games to be
played yet.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 4.-Abe
Attell, featherweight champion of
America, and Owen Moran, holder
of similar title in England, are to
meet Monday in 23 round mill
which local fight fans seem pleased
to call the "skiddoo scrap" 1t is,
of truth, an add number of rounds
in which to settle an international
championship, but Attell insisted,
when the articles were signed, that
the route be not a minute longer.
Moran didn't care if they fought a
thousand rounds.
The scene of the bout, Coffroth' s
Mission street arena, will not be an
unfamiliar spot to either of these
mighty midgets. Seven months
ago, or to be more exact, one the
first day of the year, Owen and Abe
came together in that self same
swat stadium and battled to as neat
"a 25-round draw as was even seen
in any fight promoters punching
parlors.
While Moran would have pre-
ferred longer mill, the weight
conditions this time should show
the sturdy little Briton to much
better advantage. For the last af-
fair, Moran was forced to make
1921 pounds an hour and a half
before fight time, which in itself
was tough enough, but when it was
found that the scales at his training
quarters were pound an da half
out of the way and Owen was
forced to reduce that much within
three hours of the time he must
face Attell, the British youngster
was found to be a mighty tired boy
before the go even started. Under
the present set of articles, however,
the contestants are to scale 1872
pounds three hours before the con-
flict, SO Owen should be strong and
full of fight.
Both lads have been conditioning
themselves for there weeks, Attell
with Cans at Croll's gardens in Ala
media and moran at Shannon's San
Rafael resort. They are thoroughly
fit and in condition to properly rep
resent two great nations in the
ring. Jack Welsh will referee.

husband. But at the same time |
know that many husbands let their
wives support them. Merely wish
ing for such a condition does not
get it. So the best thing we can do
is to meet the situation as it
stands.
Strange to say the argument used
by the women in making their ap-
peal to the employers is not the one
of sympathy with suffering, but an
economic one.
THE wage earning women are
the real purchasing power of the
country" the club women tell an
employer "They buy the food and
clothing If all you employers agree
to reinstate as many as you can on
set day, confidence will be re-
stored and orders will begin to
come up to the normal amount"
For the benefit of the working
woman, If no one else said Mrs.
Rivera, 81 hope that other states
and other societies will name pros
perity" days and start active cam
paigns to give the unemployed
work. Winter is coming on and if
some movement of this kind is not
inaugurated those of us who do
work will have to support those out
of employment.
Il wish ] were in a-position to
make this movement a national
one. think the whole country
would prosper by it. But all can
do is to suggest it to my fellow
club women as the best way | know
of solving the big emergency prob
lem of the working woman"
Mrs. lilly K Commander has
been made chairman of the pros
perity" day committee.

MAKE BUSINESS HUM
Special Correspondence to The Press


NEW YORK, Sept. 4.-Why not
have a national prosperity" day?
The question is suggested by
New York, where there was re-
Gently business revival, the best
feature of which was the reinstate-
ment of thousands of employees
made idle by the panic.
Times are improving, sure
enough, but mighty slowly for the
army of men and women out of
work. Prosperity is timid, fearful
and its tagging approach prolongs
for them the bitter problem of liv-
ing without income.
A band of courageous, energetic,
clear headed women, the women s
league of the state of New York,
have undertaken to wake up the
people. business men, manufacture
ers and consumers and with every
prospect of success.
Their plan was to urge the
women of New York, who are the
real buyers, to make as many pur-
chases as possible on a certain
date.
The merchants and manufacture
ers were asked to reinstate as
many as possible of their women
employees who were turned out dur
ing the business depression. These
men entered into the spirit of the
enterprise and, as a result, thou
sands of men and women, especi-
ally the latter, for this crusade is
designed particularly for their ben
eft, were back in their old places.
1t Is believed that in this manner
10000 Idle women were placed at
work again Days Of want and de-
Epair gave way to days of industry
and wages, and they hail the pros.
perity movement as a godsend.
And If it's good thing for New
York, why not for other cities, big
and little. throughout the country?

breaking struggle for existence are

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. A.
Joseph Cans and Battling Nelson
in the third (and most likely the
LAST act of their exciting pugilistic
drama, who is the lightweight
champ?" will be the big spectacu-
lar production in Coffroths Mission
street arena Tuesday afternoon. Up
to date nobody has been let in on
just how the affair is going to wind
up, and despite the fact that in the
second act Cans was conquered by
the warrior from Denmark. there is
no telling what the result of the
third fistic duel will be.
The show has the whole pugilis-
tic world guessing. In his training
for this fight Cans has shown Won
derful Improvement. For some rea-
son or other the public is nursing
an idea that Cans was not himself
when the Battler disposed of him
SO easily on Independence day. AS
a matter of fact Joe's lack of
strength and dash on that occasion
surely did make it appear as
though he had trained Improperly
or had Overdone it or something
1t will be remembered that he did
little or no boxing in his training
for that scrap, and not a few at
tribute his defeat to the omission
of the daily slugging bees.
This time Joe has boxed aplenty
Every day he has torn through
or 10 rounds of brisk milling, be.
sides going after his other tasks
like young bull The life and
ginger he has Displayed around the
training quarters would certainly
make it appear that those who say
Cans is getting too old to fight are
mistaken. He sure enough frisks

INDIANS HAVE CHANCE

Spokane and Seattle will play
two games Sunday and two more
on Monday, making the series 10
games instead Of seven. Seattle is
the weakest team in the league, it
is figured, and Spokane has a
chance to nose ahead of Vancouver
for the leadership provided the
most of the Seattle series are
taken.
Aberdeen finishes the week in
Vancouver, and should assist in the
charitable work by trimming the
Canucks once or twice.
