BATTING ORDER TODAY.
BY W. G. WEART.

DETROIT, Mich. Oct 10.-The
meeting of the Chicago Nationals
and the Detroit Americans here to-
day in the first contest of the
worlds series marks the beginning
of the grand climax of the season
of 1908, a season without a parallel
in the history of the major leagues
in the cIoseness of the pennant
races or the interest created every
where.
In the deadly grappIes for lead
ing hOnOrs at the finish the Chi
cagO Cubs and the Detroit Tigers
won out in their respective leagues.
Each team proved itself the fittest
when the final test came
1t is meet, therefore, that they
should clash on the diamond, and
not in one game, where a fuke
might turn the issue, but in a Sc
ries OF four or more contests where
luck will play less of a factor and
all the players. especially the
pitchers, would get a chance to
take part.
In this crash Of champion against
champion each team bears a burden
greater than merely the honor Of
one city's representative beating
out another. The series stands for
more than local pride. II repre-
sents the National League, the old
est organization in baseball, against
the American League, that stripping
which has made such wonderful
progress in the last eight seasons.
All Eyes on Detroit.
So 1t is that the eyes of every fan in
the country is focused on Detroit to-
day, as they VIII be on chicago tOmor-
row and Monday, when the teams play
IN the Windy City.
Fears were expressed that the play
off AT New York between Chicago and
the Giants last Thursday, when for
three hours the business of the country
was nearly suspended while the tele-
graph wires licked out the details OF
ooings at the Polo Grounds, would take
the edge off the worlds series.
There is 10 such Indication here, and
judging from the news record from Chi
cago, both cities will turn out larger
crowds than ever before to see the two
teams meet for the second time for the
blue ribbon honors Of baseball, the
worlds championship.
Both clubs have increased thcIr. seat
ing capacity since last fall and here
nearly twice as many people can be az
CoHr1Odated at Bennet Park as was the
case in 1907. The enthusiasm over the
Tigers here is greater even Than q year
ago. and all The reserved seat tickets
were eagerly snapped up at the advance

Precautions were taken TO prevent
scalpers from getting the coveted paste
boards and they secured mighty few
OF them. For thirty hours visitors have
been pouring into the city by every
train, the big rush coming this morning,

sented as the States. Major league and

Ii you cannot pay, don't play.
Better not play, anyway. l know a
man that spent time enough being a
piker to become real red-hot success
at something. All the world loves a
spender and hates piker. On first
thought this would seem to be all in
favor of the spender, but it isn't.
When the world has made sucker
out of the spender, it places him below
the piker. Take your money home
and give it to your wife and don't let
her be either piker or spender.
Buy home, beautify it, plant some
fruit trees and be good. Otherwise

MAY NOT PLAY ON SUNDAY.

1t is practically assured now that all
the principal matched games of the
baseball season this summer will be
played on Thursday afternoons instead
of on Sundays as has been the custom
in the past. The Sunday closing law
is, in way, largely responsible for
the change. While Sunday baseball
is not included in the list of things
which must not be done to avoid a
violation OF the Sunday law, tickets of
admission to Sabbath day ball games
cannot be sold on Sunday.
1t has been proposed that Thursday
afternoons when big games are sched-
uled be declared a half-holiday. The
business houses could close a few
hours in the afternoon, the band could
play few selections down town and
at the ball grounds and everyone could
enter into the spirit OF the day and
help to make it exceedingly enjoyable
and profitable to all concerned. Other
towns favor Thursday afternoon con-
tests and unless Grangeville gets in
line her Sunday afternoon games will
probably be between local teams.
The proposition of week day games
seems to meet with general approval.
When the committee to secure base
ball funds visited the businessmen
several weeks ago and asked for do
nations not TO exceed FIVE dollars, one
institution agreed to give ten dollars a
month If the games were played on
week days and refused to assist in a
financial way if Sunday games were to
be in order.
Local fans who would prefer Sum-
day games will not be without some
form of the National game on Sunday
and it is Quite probable that lively
practice contests between local aggre-
cations will be pulled off Sunday
afternoons throughout the baseball
season.

driver called for some one in the
stage to come from the inside to help
him. A man climbed out, and the
driver gave him the leaders reins and
said: Keep them straight in the
road and urge them on; / am gone"
and sank down and died in the boot.
All the men at the station had been
killed. That was but one incident of
early staging. Those tragedies were
frequent clear to the Sierras, and it
was only about forty years ago. Now
men growl at paying 3 cents per mile
on Pullman, making the whole 800
miles in comfort in twenty hours or
less, and the idle and careless ones
do not stop to think that the founda-
tons of states are laid on the stilled
hearts OF. pioneers; that men who for
beggarly salary were ready at any
time to take their lives in their hands
and face the cold, the heat, the thirst
and the savage that civilization might,
from crude beginning, build at last its
industries, its temples and its homes.

THE OLD STAGE DRIVERS.

The old race of stage drivers has
pretty well passed away in this region,
says the Salt Lake Telegram, with a
note of sadness in its tone. One is
still hobbling around Zion on clutches.
His enemy is rheumatism in one knee,
the knee that in the old days worked
the brake. If an enterprising report
er will look him up, he can in half an
hour get a story that will make two or
three columns of most interesting
"reminiscences, for it was strenuous
work to drive a stage west of Salt
Lake in the overland days. Many a
driver was killed and some deeds of
heroism were performed, in the
shadows of the desert, as splendid as
ever made the stories of the days of
knighthood. This old driver, Dan
Robbins, is one whom old-timers
know. There is another one there,
Ed Cook. He was telling the other
day how one driver drove into Deep
Creek station. A man was on the
seat beside him and others in the
stage. AS he neared the station he
said to the man beside him: 81 do
not like the looks of things here. "
just then an Indian whom he had
often fed rose up and shot him through
the breast; another shot struck the
man beside him and he fell insensible

who have babies to care for through

so many ladies present. Fifty per

that this terrible death rate could

The doctor displayed on a table
the liver. lungs and shoulder Of a

an appalling one, and the audience
was then instructed to closely in

liver were double their natural size
and were mass Of round masses,
called "nodules'' which constituted
the characteristic Of the disease.
The tissues between the muscles of
the shoulder were lined with the

inches, according to age.

There was great danger from tuber-

case, as anyone can observe it in

therefore when a cow has bad case
