Sporting News
 For Local Fans
(By Wagner.)

(By Wagner.)
 The result of yesterdays game rath- CT put the skids under some of the wise boys who have been bowling that the series is a frame up. The folks who think nothing is on the lev el figured that the teams would take turns in winning so that they could play seven games. Of course they didn't stop to consider that the play CTS don't share in the receipts after the first four games. The Giants and Athletics have been in training since last February and of course they would be very anxious to hang around and play few extra games for which they get no pay. Another fac tor to be considered is the record made in the worlds series since 1903. In that period of the time 1t has only twice been necessary to play seven games. The Chicago Cubs once clean ed up Detroit four straight and last year the series went only five games, the Athletics winning four.
 The Oakwoods won another victory Sunday by defeating the Black Rock, Jrs. 5. to o. The Oakwoods would like to play the Madison Jrs. at the Circus lot. If this challenge is not accepted it is open to the Pequots or Piedmonts or any other 75 to 85 pounds team. All members are requested to report for practice on Thursday and Saturday at State street and Bostwick venue.
 It is a peculiar fact that in the worlds series the outf1elders have done very little hitting so far. Murray, De- Wore and Snodgrass have done little clouting for the Giants and Murphy, Lord and Oldring have been equally as helpless. Baker, Collins and Da- wis have delivered for the Athletics.
 Athletic fans say the Giants are trying to injure Baker so that he wont break up any more games. Snod- grass has twice spiked Baker but the slugging third baseman is still in the game.
 This came from the Arrows today: The Arrows would like to play any 105-110 lb team in the city. They are out of game for Sunday. The man. ager of the Arrows would like to meet any manager at Lanes Pool room any night this week. It seems that they are all afraid to play the Arrows, particularly the Clintons and the Mad ison Or any other team our, weight They would like to play the Clintons or Mhdisons for money only"

 POOR BATTLING NELSON
Clever Boxing Philadelphian Too Much For Former
 Champion

Boston. Oct. 17.-Clever boxing gave Pal Moore of Philadelphia, the decision over Battling Nelson, former light weight champion of the world, in a twelve round bout at the Armory Athletic Association last night.
 Moore landed blows on the former champions body and head at will, but with little effect. Nelson devoted his time to infighting almost entirely. His body blows were terrific and at times winded his opponent.

BOXING

Cyclone Johnny Thompson. claimant of the middleweight title by virtue of a defeat administered to Billy Pap- ke in Australia, is still looking for matches with the star men of his class. Thompson approached Sflvy a match with Kelly. Ferretd came back with the proposition that Thomp- son first fight Jimmy Howard, who is under Ferretti's charge. The claim ant of the middleweight title profes- sed to be insulted at this offer, so nothing further came of the matter, and Thompson has again taken up the weary hunt for suitable oppon- ent

Dime thinks Ross would have no trouble defeating the heavyweights of Australia, who are without excep- tion a very poor lot
 If Abe Atter is looking for work he can easily find a suitable opponent Johnny Kilbane, who recently defeat ed all contenders in an elimination series of contests, is now ready to take on the champion. Since AtteH was so easily omtpointed by Matt Wells he has been keeping himself in the background. Attell received of fers from both Los Angeles and New Orleans proposing match with Xiii bane, but Attell put a sudden stop to negotiations by demanding $10,000 guarantee. As he well knew, no club could afford to give him such a sum for his end alone. 1t looks as though Attell is not at all anxious to meet Kilbane, who is looked upon as the next champion of the featherweight class.

Taft Will Clash
With the Arizonians

President Taft and the popular gov
ernment movement are about to collide.
The collision will come when the new
Arizona constitution is sent to the White
House for the Presidents approval. Mr..
Taft does not believe in the recall, es-
pecfally as applied to judges. He will re-
fuse to approve the constitution of Ari-
zona on that ground.
1t has been known for some months
that the President was ayerse TO that
feature of the Arizona constitution that
provides for the recall. :, =
The people of Arizona have put into
their constitution the advanced features
Of the popular government movement,
They have included the initiative. refer
endum, and recall. They have thereby
incurred the hostility of conservatives
and reactionaries all over the country.
These influences will be delighted If the
President refuses to approve the new
constitution and they are relying on him
not to give his approval.
This VIII mean that Arizona will not
be admitted to the Union for some time
to come.

however, should disapprove 1t the Terri

making the House less manageable and
wieldy than it now is.
In the ordinary view of men and mo-
tives political, that looks very much
like real patriotism. The proposal for
greatly increased House membership
carried, which is unfortunate for the
House and the country. Doubtless the
Senate will acquicsce, because it has
always yielded to the House in this
matter, as the House is primarily con-
cerned. But it will be one more block
in the way of progress, if the House
is further increased.
Almost unanimously House members
admit privately that the body would
better be reduced than increased in
numbers. Yet there is a curious no
tion that any State which loses rep
resentation will be humiliated. 1t is
hard to understand why. The State
that loses or stands still in population
of course dislikes the fact; but the
census figures, not the number of Con-
gressmen, constitute the evidence of its
humiliation, and these will not be
changed, even if the House member
ship is.
The Senate ought to.give the House
a chance to reconsider. The House has
never allowed parliamentary comfy to
deter it from passing resolutions to-
change the manner of electing Sena;
tors. Why should the Senate now be
more courteous than the House has
been in the past? The House has been
right, even if discourteous, about this
matter of electing Senators. Now the
Senate has chance to be right, though
about House member
ship. Why not forget the delicacies,
and be right?

Citizens Protest
Woods Dismissal

Declaring the summary dismissal of
former Superintendent of Street Clean

uncalled for, the members of the East
End Suburban Citizens Association
last night adopted a resolution protest.
ing against his dismissal on the ground
that he had not had sufficient oppor-
tUnity TO indicate himself nor to de-
fend himself against the charges made
by his enemies.
The resolution follows:
That the East End Suburban Citi-
zens' Association vigorously protests
against such arbitrary and military ac-
tion as that taken against former SUI
perintendent of Street Cleaning James
NJ. Wood, and we condemn the act of
Commissioners Judson and Johnston in
selecting an outsider to fill a responsible
and lucrative position in the District
government. thereby setting a prece-
dent against home rule, and working a
great wrong to the people here. BE il
FURTHER resolved that a copy of this
resolution be sent to the President of
the United States, to the Commission
ers of the District, and to the chairmen
of the Senate and House Committees
of the Sixty-first Congress"

INCREASING THE MEMBER
SHIP OF THE HOUSE.

It is altogether creditable TO the
progressive Republican members of
the House of Representatives that al
most all of them voted against inereas-
ing the size of the House to 433. The
question was between a House of 39l
and one of 433 To maintain the
lower membership would have required
that a number of States lose, while
others would gain, in representation.
Most of the losses would have been
sustained by States in which insurg-
ency is strongest. To keep the House
membership down to 39I would have
necessitated rcdistricting for con-
tracted number of districts. More
than that, in several cases the redis-
tricting would be done by hostile legis-
latures, so far as the insurgents are
concerned. Yet despite all these good
political reasons for favoring a House
of 433 members, ia which 10 States
representation would have 10 be re-
duced, the insurgents almost solidly
voted against it. They were willing to
take the chance of being legislated out
OF their seats, in order to vote against

PRISON SENTENCE FOR WO-
MEN SMUGGLERS.

If the vigilance of Collector Loeb
continues to be backed up by the un-
compromising severity of the courts it
will not be long before the thoughtless
little habit on the part of returning
travellers in the matter of customs will
be entirely overcome. Judge Martin,
of the criminal branch of the United
States district court of New York has
Just added term of imprisonment to
the fine imposed upon a woman of
prominence who attempted to smuggle
in a sable coat and other goods to the
value of $4,000. The amount of
hysteria in which she indulged is of
course not conclusive evidence that she
felt the enormity of her disgrace, but
it is safe to say that three nights in
the Tombs will make stronger i'm
preston upon her than the $1,000 fine.
1t is not very pleasant thought
that Judge Martin should have said
that women are much more prone to
attempt smuggling than men," but the
weight of recent evidence would seem
to bear him out. Other penalties have
had but slightly restraining influence.
In imposing a prison sentence he is
keeping his word as he gave it some
time ago. We may expect to see it
result in an increase in common
honesty.

TO MEND ITS
DOWDY WAYS.

Even a head full of Greek has no
license to come to breakfast in curl
papers. The higher culture is but the
jewel which adorns the toad if belts
are buckled awry and hooks and eyes
mismated. Wellesley College has been
taking a critical look at itself through
the medium of that candid mirror, The
College News, and such are the bald,
unwelcome conclusions. Hypatia and
Lady Jane Grey and the Lady From
Philadelphia belonged TO the class of
learned women, but they we're no
frumps, and what is more to the point
it is intimated that you can tell a
Nassar girl by the wa her clothes
fit her, although she should say never
word. On the other hand, the Wei
lesley skirt says on the side, the
gathering strings won't gather, and the
shirt waist buttons with safety pins.
The clear headed editor of the Col
lege News has no illusions about the
gloritied animal, man, but she reasons
that in order to reform him it is
necessary first of all TO catch him, and
that in the great handicap beauty well
adorned gets away like a greyhound
while dowdy merit stumbles over its
shoestrings. She realizes that about
the most important of all the "isms"
inherited or acquired is feminism, and
that for beauty to neglect itself in
the matter of personal adornment is
to throw away the best arrow in its
quiver.
The benefits of this outspoken
criticism will be felt in many semi
naries of learning. It's a box of
nougat against the first four books of
Euclid that the next daisy chain or ivy
garland or whatever form of fora long
drawn out they carry on class day up
there will be borne by the nattiest lot
of Phyllises that ever brushed the
dew from the greensward. We may
even expect an improvement in the
product of the finishing schools. When
that day comes every diploma will
carry blank certificate of marriage
on the back.
The Washington times., 1911-02-11
DISTRICT BILL IMPROVED BY
SENATE SIDE.

Now comes the annual tug of war
over the District appropriation bill.
Trimmed to the bone by the House
Appropriations Committee, its enact
ated frame has been patched in spots
by the Senate Appropriations Com
mittee, until it has an appearance of
health decidedly better than when the
Senate doctors began operations on it.
1t will probably get through the Senate
substantially as it stands today, and
will then be pulled and hauled about
by the conference committee in an
effort to make it meet the approval of
both houses.
Several important items omitted by
the House have been inserted by the
Senate Committee. Other important
items ignored by the House have also
been igaored on the Senate side. Prob
ably the most important of this latter
class is the Great Falls item. The
House committee voted against the
Great Falls appropriation on the
ground that it was new legislation
which would be thrown out on the
floor and because the members of the
committee believed the District was
going into the manufacturing busi
ness too rapidly. The Senate commit
tees explanation of its failure to pro-
vide for the appropriation is the fear
that there is not sufficient time at this
session 20 consider so important a
subject.
In the face of the information which
has been adduced as result of the
Leighton investigation this winter, the
Senate committees explanation is not
very convincing. The cumbersome
method by which the District must OBJ
tain action OH such reforms, however,
must be recognized. 1t requires a
battering ram and a ton of dynamite
to attract the attention of Congress
to such a vital question as a municipal
electric lighting plant for the District
of Columbia, and the District can at
least congratulate itself on having
forced the members Df the Senate and
House to begin to think about the
project. A foundation upon which ac-
tion may be obtained at the next ses-
sion has probably been laid.
Many of the items added TO the Dis
trict appropriation bill by the Senate
committee are important and provide
for things badly needed by the Dis
trict. If the measure is finally passed
by both houses in anything like its
present form the District will be fairly
well provided for during the next year.

LOOKING AFTER THE TEETH
OF CHILDREN.

One of the most practical and bene-
fetal philanthropies undertaken in
Washington in recent years is the pro,
posed free treatment OF the teeth of
Door children by the dentists of the
city. As now outlined, the plan con-
templates that each dentist give a GER
tain amount of time on certain days,
the schedule being so arranged that
children may receive treatment any
day. To facilitate the work, it has
been decided to establish public dental
rooms at several points, thus enabling
the children of each section to obtain
treatment without going long distances
for it. H..
Within the last few years the rela-
ton of the teeth of children to their
health, and, indirectly, to the public
health, has come to be recognized as
very close. Inspections among school
children in this and other cities has
revealed the fact that an alarmingly
large percentage have defective teeth.
Investigations have shown that dcfcc-
tive teeth make child susceptible to
contagious diseases, as the bad teeth
give lodgment 10 disease germs, which
subsequently may be taken up in the
system.
Il has also been discovered that chill
dren whose teeth are kept in good con-
dition are better scholars than those
who have defective teeth, because their
general health is better, other things
being equal.
The dentists hope to have dental in
spection provided in the schools. of
Washington, and they expect the bulk
of their philanthropic work will be
among school children who are unable
to pay for dental treatment Any
child whose teeth need attention, how
ever, and who is unable to pay, will be
treated without charge.

Advocates Central
Board of Charities

That il is best for the propa CATION
of charitable work in this city that
all the organizations which handle
banded together under a common head,
and that a special committee be ap-
pointed to consider the plan advanced
by the Board of Trade that members
of that body and the Chamber of Com
merce compose a central board OF
charities, were the two most important
points decided at n meeting or the
heads of the various mission houses
of the city held at the Y. NJ. c. A. last
night. s-..s.
The meeting was primarily called to
consider plans for convention or
mission workers. which is to be held
in this city next May, but Supertn-
tendent Lukens, of the Central Union
Mission. broached the subject of the
central board of charities at the close
of the regular business.
While all of the delegates present
declared that they had no auth ority
to speak for the societies to which they
belong, all said they are perfectly
willing to go on record personally as
favoring this move and thought that
the societies which they represented
were also in favor of this move.
1t was pointed out by several speak
ers that the establishment of central
board, such as was proposed. will
eliminate a large amount of the graft
and illegal gains now being made by
unscrupulous persons working under
the guise and cloak of charity. 1t will
also have the effect of making each
organization represented In the charit-
able workers of the city account for
all money turned in, the indiscrim-
mate charity now going on will be
better regulated, and the poor will ben
eft accordingly
The plans for the establishment of
the central board will be formulated
at a meeting of the heads of all the
charitable organizations in the city,
which will be held the carly part OF
next week
