The Little Things That Tell.

A south side mother was dressing

front door bell rang. She instructed
the maid that If the visitor appeared
to be about to make formal call to
say she was not at home. But the
mother had not counted on the five
year-old daughter playing in the front
yard.
The maid, seeing a woman dressed
as if for calling. obeyed instructions.

CHICAGO, October 21.-Ain't 1t awful
what a difference just few hours make?
Monday morning the Cubs were hailed
far and wide as the grandest base ball
machine ever governed by the hand of
such a masterful leader as Frank Chance.
Tuesday night, Wednesday morning.
Wednesday afternoon and last night the
experts, the base ball fanatics, the wild
eyed, the calm, and even the passive were
trying to figure out just why such a
change.
My, how some people have changed
their minds! Only few short hours ago
the Athletics were mentioned as a team
of youths. skilled, fast. ambitious. but
lacking in those finer qualities which SO
distinguished the Cubs from all other
articles listed in Who's who and what's
what" in the base ball world
The Change.
What an eruption has taken place in
opinions. johnny Evers was proclaim
ed far and wide by every National
League follower as the peer of anything
that ever trod on spike. The air fairly
shakes now with praise for Eddie Collins,
with marvellous descriptions of his won
derful deeds, with glowing accounts OF
his prOwess.
Frank Baker, hitherto allowed to waste
his sweetness on the desert American
League air-some National Leaguers even
think it is all hot there-makes them seem
dumb when his name is referred to. 1t
seems impossible that such scintillatins
celebrity ever escaped the Watchful eyes
of the National League.
'Chief' Bender, the gutter, the man
who couldn't stand the gait which those
peerless Cubs would offer, now has the
followers of the Cubs gasping.
Heads UP Now.
All the way along the line the same line
Cf talk may be gathered. Where die
they get Collins?' II never thought
Baker could play ball, really I didn't
think the American League could AFFORD
to pay men of such ability" Who is this
man Murphy; where did Barry get his ex
perience?"
This is not the idle prattle of lunat4c
IT is merely the talk of some Cub rect
ers Even living in Chicago they Ions
failed to realize what was taking place a.
Comiskey's park. Their heroes performed
at Murphy's arena, and none existed out
side of the pale of G. Webb's domain.
It's all different now. Only two games
were required to shake the faith in tina
peerless array. Hugh Fullerton. one
of Chicago's most noted dOpesters, the de
veloper Of base ball by calculus. higher
algebra, geometry, etc. declared tha

CHICAGO. October 21-Orval Overall,
who has been one of the Chicago Nation
ais pitchers for several seasons an
nounced last night that he had pitched
his last big league game.
Il don't mean that I won't work again
In this series,' said Overall. II will
II Chance asks me to, but l won't be a
pitcher on the Cubs team or any other
club next year, and 1 am in earnest when
l say so. l am not going to quit because
of anything that has happened in this
series or at any time this season. / am
just tired of the job and / don't want
any more Of it.
The life of big league pitcher is un-
satisfactory at best. If you are good
you get along all right, and no one has
any complaint to make. But if you are
bad, even for little while, or if youl
arm goes back on you, you are up against
it and you can't help yourself.
Il like base ball and would be glad to
play any other position. If some one will
try me as an cutfielder, a catcher Or a
first baseman. 1 may decide to stick tc
the game while longer
Il think l could make good in one OF
these places and / would like the oppor-
tunity of trying. But / am tired f pitch

Ira Thomas-a man worth while. Ira
Thomas, big, patient-ox sort OF man
who goes about his business ploddingly,
vet who, in the face of more adverse
criticism than ever was heaped upon an
athlete, has caught three most excellent
games of base ball in that great classic OF
the national pastime-the worlds series.
Never did a professional athlete enter
upon a series Of games heaped high with
half the doubtings, half the slurs, half
the published adverse statements that
have been cast at Thomas. Hailed as
mutt by former teammates, dertded by all
the half-blind critics of the National
League and half those in the American,
Thomas has pursued the even tenor OF his
way and has stopped the Cubs in three
battles.

Intercity Matches Called Off.

The match in the Intercity Tennis
League which was scheduled to take

noon between the All-Wa shington team

cause of the fact that several Of our best

of Capt. Harold E. Doyle and Albert W.

TRYING TO PREVENT DISEASE
Sanitary Methods Adopted in Post
Office Department.

AS an incentive to greater cleanliness
and to prevent the spread of disease
among the employees of the Post Office
Department, Chief Clerk Theodore l..
Weed has just had installed plant for
cleaning the cuspidors. Specially made
tongs for handling the cuspidors have
been made so that it will not be neces-
sary for any employe to touch them with
his hands. After Office hours they are
gathered and taken to a steaming plant
in the basement, where they are thor
Oughly cleaned and sterilized.
This is but one of the many instances
of Mr.. Weeds thoughtfulness in caring
for the health of the employees of the de-
partment. One Of the first was the thor
ough cleansing of the tank from which
the drinking water for the building is
supplied and the adoption of rule rigid
ly enforced, which insures it's being kept
thoroughly clean always. When Mr.. Weed
first came to the department, it is said.
the condition of the tank was such as to
occasion serious alarm. Another instance
was the thorough cleansing Of the de-
partment, from the top to the bottom,
with soap, lye and water, to prevent the
great accumulation of dust in the cOrri-
doris and cOurtway, which has long been
regarded as a menace to health. Every
inch Of space in the building, it is said,
has been thoroughly cleaned and instruc-
tons given to keep it SO hereafter.

BRINGS TRINIDAD ASPHALT.
Arrival of the Barkentine Allenwild
After a Quick Trip.

The American barkentine Allenwild Of
Boston arrived here yesterday in tow of
the tug Camilla, laden with crude asphalt
from Trinidad, and was locked at the
paving-block making plant at the foot of
South Capitol street to unload. The
Allenwild brings the first cargo of the
paving material that has arrived at this
port in several months and she made the
trip from Trinidad in exceptionally good
time. According to reports she cleared
from her loading point Mayl Is an got
away next day. Being favored with good
breeZes from the south, she was bowled
along at a good rate of speed and twenty
two days after leaving Trinidad she
passed in the capes. Not finding a tug
boat, she continued under sail up Chesa-
peake bay and was off Blackstone Island
when the Taylor tug Camilla from this
city picked her up and towed her into
port, arriving yesterday about noon. The
asphalt when it was loaded in the vessel
at Trinidad was in a semi-1uid state,
and coming north it hardened SO that
pick is necessary to loosen it before it
can be discharged. She has about thou
sand tons of the material aboard. The
Allenwild brought cargo of asphalt
here several years ago and after unload
ing lay at the forks of the channel for
several weeks, waiting a charter.
