Special to The Washington Herald.
Philadelphia. Sept. lo-Now that there
is every reason that the Athletics win win
the American lea cue championship. con-
lectures on the outcome OF the worlds
series are being made.
The Athletics opponent will be in Chi
cago. in all probability. Fittsburg has a
chance. but its prospects are decidedly
slim.
Mack viii enter the series with one Of
the greatest pitching STATS ii has been
the fortune of a major league club 10
own. 1t is not a one-man or two-man
staff. but has four Of the most depend
able winners in the country. to say moth
ing OF three good men IN reserve.
Chief Bender, who leads the two leagues
in games won. has always been brilliant
pitcher since he came here from Harris
burg and Joined the Athletics, but il
health detracted from his work at times
This season his health has been up to the
mark. and, as a result the Chippewa is
fairly burning up the league.
Bender is an ideal pitcher. backing up
great speed and good curves with brains.
The Indians very manner in the box is
one Of overwhelming mastery. There is
confidence in every move he makes. He
shows all the natural attributes OF his
race when in hole. In the most critical
situation he Is as cool and well poised as
a man smoking his evening cigar in a
rocking chair
The Indian fields his position magnifl-
Gently. He has a rapid-fire brain and
never overlooks a )lay. and in batting is
dangerous at all times. Bender is truly
a wonderful athlete. a thorough credit to
the game.
Second to Bender is Jack Coombs, a
big-boned and big-braind Maine conegian.
Mack picked Coombs from the college
ranks, his work with the Colby nine at
tracing attention in New England
Simply from lack Of experience, CoOmbs
was rather slow developing, but once the
Improvement started II continued apace.
Last year he commenced to show the first
real form that is in him Mack saw at
once that he had another star on his staff,
so this season began to work him regu-
larry, or, rather, more than regularly. for
Coombs has been winning consistently
while worked out OF turn. Often this sea-
son he has won twice IN a series. In
eleven games during July he won FIVE
COMBS saved the team when IL was
slumping in the latter part Of July. It
is quite possible that the team would
have fallen from first place altogether

injured, and the stan was badly wrecked.
Coombs and Morgan went IN and bore the
brunt Of the pitching. with the result
that he kept the team on top.
Since the other members of the staff re-
gained their normal condition. the tasks
imposed on Coombs and Morgan have
been less severe Of late. Cy Morgan is
giant splitter. who is rather cratic, but
unhittable. Cy's willingness and strength

SOME DENSE IGNORANCE IN
GEORGIA.

Dear Sir:-For twenty-five years
the writer has been engaged in the
practice of medicine in South Geor-
gia. God never made country
where the average man could make a
support for himself and family more
easily than in South Georgia. But
from ignorance and the Lack of in
terest missionaries, if you please to
call it,, what do we find among a
goodly number of our white popula-
ton? Below we will call your atten-
ton to a few things that we have
found right here in Georgia.: People
too poor to buy cows milk for their
children; too ignorant to read the
directions published in the English
language, telling them how to pre-
pare the condensed milk that they
are forced to use, through economy,
for their children; too ignorant to
know the Arabic figures upon fever
thermometers, SO as to tell when the
temperature was above normal; too
ignorant to keep a chart, so as to
know when medicine or nourishment
was given; too poor to have sufficient
bed linen and clothing to change once
weekly; too ignorant to read the di-
lCCC1OHO CSl11AS CnSn HOW dnu Wu0u
to give medicines. 1t is a fact that
we have adults (white) who could
not tell the hour of the day by a
clock! Now, this ignorance is not
confined to South Georgia. The
writer has had the opportunity of
meeting with ignorance in other sec
tons. We relate this to show that
China, Japan and other foreign coun-
tries have no monopoly when it comes
M ignorance and poverty. All of the
Dove being true, we are forced to
agree with you, Mr.. Watson, in your
fight upon the system of Foreign Mis-
sions as they are carried on today.
Let US devote some Of the funds go
ing out of Georgia daily to feed and
educate a gang of lazy and brutal
heathens, to the uplifting of our own
people.

CARDINAL GIBBONS LOVES IN
EQUALITY OF FORTUNE.

Dear Sir:-I send you New
Years greeting by way of some
newspaper clippings on Christmas
gifts that has just passed and gone.
They speak for themselves, and tell
the story of the times only too we'll.
Cardinal Gibbons says in a late mag
azine article: Unequal distribution
of goods is the law of Divine econo-.
my. s. This law of inc
quality is decreed by wise dispen-
sation of Providence for the exercise
of social virtues, that the strong may

side. tell them that truth and
falsehood will not stick together,
water and oil will not mix, Lazarus
and the Rich man could not have
shaken hands in the middle of that
great gulf which no man could cross.
I hope you may live long enough
to write us a history of the South and
West

aid the weak, the learned instruct
the ignorant, the rich help the poor"
And I will add--t'the devil take the
hindmost."
And again Cardinal Gibbons says:
Some are impoverished by the mys-
ferrous dispensation Of Cod And
again he says: "You can no more
legislate perjury than you can legis-
late vice out of existence
I will say, however, that it is not
my purpose this morning to enter
into a discussion of this matter, but
merely to call your attention to it,
as you seem to be one of the great
champions of the rights of the COM
mon people today. But I must
quote Gibbons again. He says fur
Their: "Can poverty be conquered?
Can we even imagine the world
without the poor? Whatever the
answer may be, one thing is certain:
that we must do all that lies in our
power to conquer poverty, and rem
der the lot of the poor less hard
than it isl
Cardinal Gibbons intentions may
be all right, but he is certainly
wrong when he adopts the theory of
Divine Right Baer,' and old John
d. Rockefeller in the solution of this
question. Gibbons also intimates
that legislation has had nothing to
do with this unequal distribution of
wealth. [ undertake to say that it
has had a great deal to do with it. I
believe it was Byron w. Bolt Ct am
not sure about the name who point
ed out a few years ago that this high
protective tariff robbery was worth
100000 year as an asset to
the Steel Trust. Then look at the ma
tional bankers Money Trust, the
Railroad Trust, the Beef Trust, the
Sugar Trust, the Tobacco Trust, and
the Standard Cali Trust" every one
of which has been built up and sup
ported by class legislation
But have not got the time, nor am
[ in the right humor this morning to
discuss these matters, so will leave
that for you to do in your Jefferson
ian publications.
