could not be imagined. The long blue
and orang pennant emblematic of the
championship of the world, won by
Philadelphia last year, was III up on
the fiagpole as usual by the ground
keeper, indicating that a game was
scheduled for today, but it hung limp
in the rain. Few people were o
the grounds at 9 o'clock, as there vas
no use of a line forming until The rain
ceased and there was some certainty
that there would be a game. Last
evening a line started to form, and
there were about fifty in it when the
rain began to fall. The showers came
heavier during the night, and when
daylight arrived the line had disap-
peared.
The American League players came
to the grounds as usual before 10
o'clock. Baker and Coombs were the
heroes of the squad, n they were
greeted by hearty congratulations
from fans.
Bakers arm, which was spiked by
Centre Fielder S~nodgrass when he
threw himself into third base feet first
in attempting to steal yesterday, was
given immediate medical attention last
night, and he is going o today
with a bandage on h injured ember.
The New York players spent the
morning indoors at an uptown hotel.
The players are in good physical con-
dition. Even >Merkle's case of "Chariey-
horse has shown a lot of improve
ment. The men are not blue after yes

press confidence I'M the ultimate out

in his many battles. Abe Attell, the

he said that in all his twelve years
of fighting he never met a squarer mar

pugilists were of the same standard
as Kline prize-fghting would be on a
much higher Standard than al the

Here's the latest dope. The black
uniforms worn by the Giants are
blamed for the hoodoo. They furnish
a good background for the heavy-hit-
ting Athletics to see the ball coming
up to the plate.
This recalls another interesting little
point. Dick Hennessy, the Giants
mascot, was not furnished with a black
uniform because the mascot's uniform
belonging to the set had been given to
Joe McGinnity. and Red Mann the for
mer Tiger mascot, wore it for a long
time. These black uniforms were the
same that the Giants wore when they
beat the Athletics in 1905. and McGraw
had preserved the complete set. Some
of the superstitious players give this
as the cause of their misfortune.

MONUMENT TOPERRY
Hero of Lake Erie to Have
Memorial.
Big Celebration Is Planned in Honor
of American Commodore Who De-
feated the British in Memoir
able Engagement.

Cleveland, O.-Doubtless everybody
has read in the newspapers of an act
of congress, passed at the recent ses-
sion, for the commemoration of the
Centennial anniversary of the battle
of Lake Erie, which was fought by
Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry
against a British fleet under Captain
Barclay off Putin-Bay. An appropria-
ton of s250,000 was made as a con-
tribution toward a general fund to
pay for suitable monument, and the
president was authorized to appoint
three commissioners.
The centennial celebration had al
ready been agitated for two years in
Ohio and the legislature of the state
had already appropriated $4,000. The
legislature of Pennsylvania had ap-
propriated 100000 and the Rhode
Island legislature had appropria ted
$4,000 by unanimous vote, but the
governor vetoed the bill after it had
adjourned. !
Bills have been introduced in the
legislatures of New York for SIS, 900,
in Illinois and Wisconsin for $4,000
each and it is expected that Kentucky
will do equally WELL because that
state furnished nearly all the soldiers
LII 6ShSAd1 III the
war of 1912, and a squad of the gun
ners in Commodore Perry's fleet. A
good deal is expected from Michigan,
but nothing has been done there yet
except to appoint a commission to
meet with those representing the ma
tonal government and Ohio, Pennsyl-
vanfa, New York, Rhode Island, Ken
lucky, Wisconsin and Illinois
1t is proposed to erect lofty col
umn, at least $50 feet high, with a
lighthouse and a wireless telegraph
Office at the top, and at the base an
auditorium that will seat at least 1900
people Within the shaft it is pro-
posed to have historical, military and
naval museums and rendezvous for
the naval militia and the yacht clubs
on the lakes. 1t is also proposed to
bring from the harpor of Havana one
of the masts of the battleship Maine
to be used as a f1agstaff. Several 12-
inch guns from the Oregon and from
the Spanish battleship Viscaya are to
secured and used as ornaments at the
base of the monument.
While the Perry victory will not be
celebrated until 1913, arrangements
are already under way in various lake
ports along the lower Lake Erie pre-
pairing for the occasion which will fit
tingly mark the one hundredth ami
versary of Perry's- victory Not only
will the various state national guards
men be sent to the lake region

In the case of our Indians, however, in great
er degree perhaps than with any other prim-
tive people, rs there need for quick work If the

The Indian music alike to the folk songs of Euro
pean nations, which have been brought to the
fore in recent years. affords interesting side
lights on the peoples in whose lives it has so
long played a part and what Is yet more i'm
portant many of the old Indian songs have a
historical significance at least expression to
traditions SO interesting and poetic and beauti-
full that it would be nothing short of a calam-
ity were they to be lost.
Aside, however, from the fact that the Indians
OF North America is vanishing and that
their music is passing with them there is yet an
other incentive to urge energetic work now that
this musical research has been undertaken in
earnest This extra spur lies in the fact that
