DETROIT, Mich, Oct. IO.-The cham
pion Chicago Cubs won the first game
OF the worlds series from the two
times pcnnant winners OF the American
League today b.. the score Of 10 20 g.
but, in my opinion, the game belonged
10 the Tigers. However. when the Cubs
went 10 the bat IN the ninth. Summers,
who had replaced KiuiaD IL the fourth.
weakened and was pounded hard.
Notwithstanding the one-sideness Of
the score the figures give no adequate
line on the relative ability OF the Tigers
and the Cubs. Each showed their claws
and each showed an ability and a will
ingness 10 do a tall line OF scratching
IN a pinch: but the weather served to
completely upset the form OF both teams
and tonight their relative strength IS
as much a matter Of doubt as before
the game.
II was not only the bats OF the Cubs
that were responsible for the bundle OF
runs chalked up by the victOrs IN the
last round A particularly hard down
pour Of rain during the last inning made
the ball as soggy as a sponge. md as
heavy as though II had been loaded
with lead. When Summers weakened
the added weight to the sphere ~-used
his complete undoing. IN the opinion
Of those who saw tOday's contest
Chances men should be the favorites
IN the betting on the ultimate result OF
the series: but they will be compelled
TO put up a lot sitter fight than last
year.
I do not, however. mean 70 detract
from the credit due Chances men They
deserved TO win What mean 10 point
out is that the rain and the soggy con-
dition Of the field introduced an ele-
ment Of chance which will not appear
in the later games.
The defeat Of the American leaders
in no sense disheartened them, and
when they left for Chicago tonight
where they will meet the Cubs tomor-
row, their confidence was keyed high.
They regarded their defeat today as
entirely huky, and are betting heavily
on their own chances

IN CONGRESS
TRAIN MEN OPPOSE
ANTI.OpTION BILLS

Washington, March "A conference
was held at the White House between
President Roosevelt and a committee
representing the board Of trade OF Chi
cage. headed by Hiram N. Sager, presi-
lent of that organization. when the
visitors had laid before the president
their views on the anti-option bills now
pending in the congress.
Most of the bills are aimed at deal
ing in futures and II is the conten-
ton OF the representatives of the Chi
cago board of trade that the measures
IL enacted into law would jeopardiZe
legitimate products. While these bills
affect trade in both grain and cotton
the Chicago board of trade representa-
tives are chiefly Interested in the grain
trade.
Speaking of the measures which
have been introduced in congress, Mr..
Sager said:
IF these bills in their present form
are passed they will close the large
grain exchanges of the country and re-
suit in widespread confusion and ulti-
mate loss to the grain interests, in
Guiding merchants, farmers and 9TH
ers."
The members of h committee de-
clined to say what took place at the
conference beyond the statement that
the president would take the matter
under consideration.

WHAT TO DO WITH
OUR EX~-PRESlDENTS

Bloomington, Ind, March 7.-Dr.
Johnston, head of the Latin department
at Indiana university, stirred up some
excitement here with the remarkable
statement that President Roosevelt, as
soon as his term expires, and all ex-
presidents should be taken u n shot
unless the government "a provide pen-
sions OF 500, 900 a year for them.
The Latin professor, who Is a trustee
OF Illinois college at Jacksonville and q
prominent lecturer before teachers as
sociations, made this statement to n
of his Latin classes In the university.
He contends that an ex-president Is so
nearly a physical n mental wreck
that nothing short of 500, 900 would
justify him in remaining alive. The
pension lacking, speedy death would be
the best thing, the doctor said.
