Philadelphians now meet John J. Nc
Graw and his Giants of the National
League. 1t is the second time that
these two generals have clashed over
the same great issue. In the war of
1905 McGraw won four out of the five
battles, and thereby brought to New
York a worlds pennant.
Seasoned by six years more expert
ence in the generalship of their for
midable baseball forces, these two
baseball leaders now meet again for
the championship struggle. Two
more divergent types than McGraw
and Mack cannot be picked in the
baseball world. The contest between
the two chiefs may be summed up
briefly as follows:
MACK VS.. McGRAW.
Mack.
Aged forty-nine.
Born in New England.
! Tall and lanky.
Calm and deliberative.
| Leads from the bench.
Plans battle before game.
Never dons uniform
Known as tactician.
McGraW.
Aged thirty-eight
Born in New York State
Short and chubby.
Quick and impulsive.
Always on coaching lines
Resorts to quick judgment.
! Always in ball toys.
Distinctly strategist.
And so on, with finer distinctions
the divergence might be traced ant
when the problem was finally worked

The WORLDS BASE BALL
SERIES And The TWO TEAMS

New York, Oct. 13.-The worlds
championship baseball series about to
begin marks the climax of interest in
the great American game of baseball.
The championship contest comes every
year, but is ever new in the intense
excitement over the crucial series.
Last year Philadelphia and Chicago
were the centers of this championship
storm, the Philadelphia Athletics of
the American League winning the
coveted title.
With the worlds pennant still flying

These AZ men and none other are
eligible to play in the present series
1t is probable that not more than a
dozen from each list will be picked to
figure in the crucial games. OF the
Giants there are three who fought
and won in the 1905 series with Phila-
elphia-Ames, Devlin and Christy
Mathewson. OF this veteran trio the
last named has been the Giants"
pitching mainstay for many years. In
three of the four games won from
Philadelphia in 1905 he pitched
shut-out and was acclaimed the hero
Of the series. In the past six years
he has grown in the confidence of the
New York fans, and while his most
ardent admirers can hardly expect him
TO repeat so remarkable an achieve
ment, he is expected to render good
account of himself.
Mathewson is native Pennsyl-
yanian, and for one brief period was
a member of the team he now op.
poses, but for the better part of ten
years he has been with the Giants"
He first attracted attention at Buck
nell University and his first profes-
sional berth was on the Taunton nine
OF the New England League. Twice
the big fellow has pitched no-hit
games. In 1908 he was credited with
81 of the Giants victories. He won
more than two-thirds of the games he
pitched this year. He is 81 years old.
Notwithstanding the confidence still
placed in him it is likely that he will
have less of a chance to figure as a
hero in the present series as his big
left-handed pitching mate, "Rube"
Marquard, and Mattys junior by s
years, has won championship distinc-
ton. The young "Southpaw," whose
services cost McGraw $11,000 proved
a good investment for it is mainly due
to his phenomenal pitching that the
Giants" are in a position to face the
Athletics" for the title. He has
won "a and lost only 6 games this
season.
Marquard's first professional play
was with the Waterloo team of the
Iowa State League. Later he was
with the Canton Club of the Central
League and was drafted by the De-
troits, who turned him over to Indian
apols. He proved the sensation of
the American Association and it took
the big price named to bring him to
New York in 1908. While he pos
sessed all kinds of speed and a varied
assortment of curves he was almost a
complete failure in his first seasons
but McGraw stuck to him and has
been well rewarded
Leon Ames, who has been on the
Giants" pitching staff ever since The
jumped the New York State League
in 1904, and George r. Wiltse, another
former State Lacquer, are the most
likely candidates for relief work in
the box. Otis Crandall is the fifth
member of the staff.
There are six of Connie Mack's mer
who were with him when he fought
in vain for the 1905 flag. They are

McGraw, known to fandom as the
Napoleonic leader of the Giants"
has won three league pennants for
New York and one world series. Since
1906 his team has never finished be-

League. AS a big league player he
is famous product of the old Balti-

When the club broke up after the sea-
| son of 1902 he came to the metropolis
as manager of the Giants. He is, and
always has been, a typical player and
leader of the old fighting school whose
slogan is Rush in and win"
Whether McGraw can bring his
men back to the world beating class
or must let the Mackmen possess the
big flag for a second successive sea
son, depends in some part upon some
of the veterans who won for him the
war of 1905.

Commission Plan Powerful Machine for
Good or Evil Declares Mayor Schriver

politician, the spokesman and dema-
! gogue, who has been temporarily sep
arated from his chosen profession, will
/ be quick to take advantage of the leth-
argy of the busy, good citizen, and the
lull in the public conscience, and again
come into what he considers his own
/ the control of the city government.
When this time shall come, and IN
questionably il will come in some of
our cities which have SO nicely started
out under the commission plan, the
opportunities for graft and bossism
will be increased over what was ever
possible under the old form when au-
thority was more widely distributed
and power less concentrated.
The commission plan may, there
fore, be a blessing which can at any
time be turned into a curse. II is a
powerful machine capable of being
used for tremendous good or tremen-
dous harm.
I'm order that a commission form of
city government may be kept at a high
standard that has been set by practic-
ally all of the cities which have thus
far adopted it, it is necessary that
there shall be willingness on the part
of men of character and ability who
will run the gauntlet of a Shiny and
disagreeable campaign and assume the
responsibilities of public Office The
city's affairs must be divorced from
party and ward politics.
The citizens must be alive to the
determination that the city's affairs
shall be honestly and efficiently admin
istered and the administration must
have the support Of the public, il it
is worthy of II.
The observance Of some of these
things have enumerated means keep
ing alive the public pulse and con-
science, the surest safeguard of the
public veal. While il is true that the
best officials will make mistakes. the
administration of the city's affairs as
a whole viii be for the general good.
The city is safe and will remain safe
under commission form of govern
ment. which, in practice as well as in
theory, keeps alive these principles. II
will move forward in the march of civic
Development al a pace and with results
which will not only rebound 10 its own
credit. but viii be an example for
cities"

! Mayor H. NJ. Schriver, in the course
of an address bearing on the commits
sion form of government, at the ban
quet of the Rock Island Business
Mems association last night, said:
Your present council is devoting
about Is hours daily to the city's in
/ terests and is in almost continuous
I session, and if business keeps up to
/ the present standard and the number of
| Office seekers increase, we will likely
| be compelled 10 increase our hours TO
at least 90 daily.
Another feature of our plan is in the
administration. We have a mayor and
four commissioners. The work OF ad-
ministration is divided into five depart
ments. AT the head of each depart
ment one of the commissioners is
placed. He has full charge of the de-
partment, and is held personally &C
countable TO the public for the conduct
OF it. Such method l consider a good
thing and secures individual RESPONSE
bihty. If there is anything wrong in
given department, citizens can go to
the commissioner in charge and ascer-
tain the cause. On the other hand, if a
department is managed with efficiency
and integrity, citizens likewise know
upon whom to bestow credit. Even
though one OF his subordinates be al
fault. the commissioner cannot shift re-
sponsibility, nor can the mayor if it be
in his department. II is our business

their services efficiently, honestly and
intelligently Such. in brief, is the
plan of the administration.
Another radical difference between
the mayor and council system and the
commission form is in the legislation
Up 10 a comparatively recent time ii
was generally considered that those
who do the administering should do the
legislating- The commission form up
sets this idea and both functions are
placed in the hands OF the commission
ers. Every day these officers may meet
in joint session, if necessary, and dis
cuss the affairs OF the city and pass all
needed legislation. II is at these meet
ings that We see a great contrast be |

IN CONFINES OF CITY
Municipal Commission Refuses Petit
ton for Sewer and Water Out
side Corporate Limits.

The city commission in formal Ses-
sion this morning refused permission
to II. S. Cable to connect with the
sewer and Waterman to accommo-
date his new residence which is to
be built in South Rock Island just
off of Fifteenth street. There was
no disposition on the part of the
commissioners to discriminate!
against Mr.. Cable, but rather man
ifest determination to cease granting
of city advantages to residents of
territory which is not in
cluded in Rock Island. Mr.. Cables
petition for permission to make the
necessary connections was presented
at the meeting Monday and laid
over for consideration. This morn
ing when the commission met Com
missioner Archie Hart moved that
the request be not allowed for the
reason that the sewer on Fifteenth
street is already largely used and
has shown signs of proving made
quate for the property owners in the
city. The motion was co1curred in
unanim ously.
A petition by officials of the Rock

erection, was heard, and the matter
was referred to the department of

HIGH SCHOOL is
TO Be ENLARGED
Accommodation of Present
Quarters Are No Longer
Adequate.
NEW BUILDING Is LIKELY
Board of Education Yet Undecided
as to Location of Additional
Structure.

With the present enrolment of Rock
Island high school at $50 pupils, and
with the possibility that next years
enrolment will go higher than the GOO
mark, the board of education is con-
fronted with a problem in regard to
room to properly accommodate the in
crease. The matter of enlarging the
capacity of the high school was con-
sidered by the board at its April meet
ing last evening in the board room at
the high school During the present
semester one of the teachers has been
forced to hold his classes in any room
of the building which happened TO be
vacant at the particular period when
he has a class, and so from one period
to another he is always on the move.
Next year the condition will be even
more crowded. for a large freshman
class will become members of the
school. while the outgoing class this
year is under 40.
Then, again, the board has for some
time been considering plans whereby
the manual training room and it's ia
cilities can be enlarged and increased,
so that not only more pupils may be
accommodated, but also that the course
offered may be one which shall have
wider scope and enable those who take
it to receive a practical training. At
present woodwork is the only branch

offered under this course, whereas in
other schools the size of Rock Island
high school pattern making and metal
work are offered in addition. The
present rooms used for this department
in the high school are inadequate to
accommodate all those who wish to
take the course.
MAY ADD BUILDING.
1t is the general opinion of the board
members that, in order to furnish am
pie accommodations, it will be neces-
sary to add another building. In order
10 thoroughly consider this matter, the
board adjourned till early next week.
In the block which includes the high
school and Lincoln buildings there is
sufficient room to erect another build
ing but it would not only cut off the
playground of the little folks in Lin
cCln school, but would include in the
square property valued at more than
$3.50, 600, and in case of fire the amount
involved would be too great. 1t is nee
essary, however, that the new building
shall be erected close to the high
school, and several sites are being con-
sidered in the neighborhood,
With the increased room there would
be the added courses, and as manual
training is being credited in colleges,
if the course is thorough, the boy who
takes the manual training in prefer
ence to Latin would receive the benefit
of the practical training and would
still receive credit should he desire to
enter college. 1t is probable that if the
new building is erected the faculty
of the high school will be increased.
The rooms used at present in manual
training will be equipped for other
branches of high school work.
LONGFELLOW EXTENSION.
The plans for the new addition to
Longfellow building in the east end
are progressing nicely. Architect o. z.
Cervin presented tentative plans last
evening. which will call for an outlay
of at least $4,000. Several recon-
mendatiOns for alterations in the plans
were made by the board, and these will
be completed this week. The plans in
the rough call for an addition at the
rear of the present building.

FOR BURNING GARBAGE
Fred T. Myers Suggests Use OF Saw
Mill Consumer.

Fred r. Myers, former president
Of the Rock Island Business Mems
association, has advanced again the
suggestion which he made before
the city was brought face to face
with the problem of finding means
of disposition of the garbage other
than dumping IT in the river. Mr..
Myers thinks the solution of the
question may be found in acquiring
the old consumer on the premises
of the Rock Island Lumber COM
panys saw mill on the river front
near the foot Of Twenty-ffth street.
The stack is built so high Mr.. Myers
says, that IT would cause no annoy
ance and that an investigation by
the commission might result in the
use, at least. of the consumer for
temporary, if not permanent pur-
poses.
