TAKE BAD BOYS

The baseball powersthat-be did q
good job in Cincinnati yesterday
when they took the magnates OF the
National league by the ears and tur-
key-walked them up TO the worlds

For weeks and weeks Magnate Muir
ply. OF the Cubs. and Magnate Rob-

fnssing about when the season would
end. Games are scheduled up to Oct

Boston Women Resent Educators
Attitude on Sex Problem.

Boston, Aug 2s.-The opinion Of DIT.
Stanley Hall president OF the Clark Uni
versity, Worcester. that girls turning six
teen are totally without any religion. and
are devoted TO rats, puffs, giggles. and
other material things. is much disputed
by educators and women prominent In
society in Boston.
DIT Hall said; The budding girl is as
battling a problem as the soul Of a
woman, and the world knows that in
stead Of no soul at all. the woman now
has one, two, three, or even four more
than man.
The young girl is absolutely irrelig-
iOus IN her nature. She sees only the
immediate present, whereas a boy looks
into the future Her life is all emotion
ana for that reason a certain religious
fervor is likely to appeal to her She
should be protected from professional re-
