WILL BE PRESENT.
Big MELON FOR THE PLAYERS
INDICATION THAT THEIR SHARE
OF GATE RECEIPTS WILL
TOTAL $1,000 EACH.

Philadelphia, Oct. 1S.-The Ma
tional Commission at 11:40 o'lock a
m. officially declared off today's
worlds championship baseball game
between the Giants and the Athletics
on account of rain. There will be q
game tomorrow, if the weather per
mits.
To none more than to the worlds
champions of 1910 was the postpone
ment disappointment Flushed with
yesterdays victory at New York, the
fighting American leaguers expected
to go in today's game and make it
three out of four. Bender was ex-
pected to ascend the hurting mound
for another try at victory. Now that
Plank and Coombs each have a win
ming game to their credit, the Indian
is extremely anxious to hang a scalp
on his own belt
The Nationals, who came over from
New York last night, were also dis
appointed over the prospect of idle
ness. Some of the players who would
talk. however, felt that the one-day
lay off might help the team.
Shibe park had a deserted appear
ance this morning. A more dismal
day could not be imagined. Last
evening line of ticket buyers start
ed to form and there we're about so
in it when the rain began to fall. The
showers came heavier dhrina the
night and when daylight arrived the
line had disappeared. The American
league players came to the grounds
before 10 O'Clock. Baker and Coombs,
the heroes of the squad, were greet
ed by congratulations from admirers
who had the entrance to the grounds.
Both took their honors modestly
Bakers arm, which was spiked by
Centerfielder Snodgrass when he
threw himself into third base feet
first in attempting to steal yester-
day, was given medical attention last
night and he is going about today
with bandage on the injured mem
ber.
The New York players spent the
morning indoors. They are in good
lphysical condition. The men are not
blue over yesterdays heartbreaking
defeat and express confidence in the
outcome of the series.
,. Players who will share in the split
i ting of the receipts for the worlds
J. series, are assured of enjoying the
(, biggest slice ever handed out. In
previous years $1,S00 was high
!. water mark, but when the present
series ends indications point to the
individual players drawing down as
much as $4,000 apiece For the three
games already played the receipts
have totaled $195,914. OF this the
players are due to receive $105,793.

If the plans of the Western Aero as

an effort will be made to bring tas
national races here next year 1t is
the ambition Of the Topeka balloon en-
thusiasts to enter the Topeka IIT
in the international races in Germany
next year. This would give the cits
advertising on tho ether side o. the
ocean as wei as in America
A large part Of the plans of the West
ern Aero association depend upon what
is done by the board of city commas
sioners and the Commercial club of
the city. If the commissioners insist
on barring further flights from the
regular starting point at Westlawn
park, the chances Of Topeka qualify
ing a lilot and giving her crew ex-
periencr, are slim. If the citizens OF
Topeka assist in extending high pres
sure gas pipe line to the fair grounds,
it is probable that Topeka will be able
next year to land the national races.
May Abandon Inter-Cfty Races.
The action of the residents near
Westlawn park and the city commits
sioners in declaring that ballooning
was dangerous and in placing q ban
on flights from this prepared field
Il
work of the Western Aero association
in Topeka. Since this organization
has placed TOpkea on the aeronauti-
cal map and given the city world of
favorable advertising and spent hun
dreds of dollars for the pure sport of
the undertaking, it is considered a
blow to be prohibited from further
flights by the city officials.
The inter-city races may be called
off on account of the action of the
commissioners. This race was to
Salt Lake City, St. Louis, Kansas City
and Topeka. Letters received by the
Western Aero association from the
cities state that they will be ready in
a few days to fix date for the meet.
But unless the city commissioners
change their tactics, the race will
be called off.
To show what the Western Aero as
sociation has done for Topeka let
ter was received the other day from
Major Samuel Reber, chief signal Of
ficer and Al the head of aeronautical
work in the United States army. Ma
lor Reber handled the international
races in Kansas City and is one of
the best known aeronauts in the
country.
Major Reber said:

Commissioner CIaxton Gives High
School Students Vivid Illustration.

The students of the high school were
addressed today by p p. C1axton, the
United States commissioner of educa-
ton. Mr. Claxton spoke on the sub
ject, Peanuts
In his address, Mr. Claxton said to
the students: You are now in the
golden age of opportunity, the full
flood time of life, and you will never
have such advantages again Perhaps
there is an average of two people who
can not go to school to every one who
can attend The people who can not go
to school are grinding out their lives
in working, while the school is a place
of leisure, a place of no work. and I
hope you will not have to start your
life crushing work any sooner than
necessary
1T is the ambition of the older peo-
pie to prepare you for the things that
they could not conquer, and they are
looking up to you TO do these things
It is up to you to do the higher things.
The state is paying for your education
because soon you will be left to have
charge of the affairs of state. and it
wants to prepare you for such an Oc-
casion. You can repay the people of
the state by absorbing what knowl-
edge that comes to you now, and later
teach it to your children and your
children's children.
II was down in the eastern part of
North Carolina not long ago and
asked a grower of peanuts as to the
manner of raising them. He said they
fortified the fields. and then planted
the peanuts. On asking the amount of
bushels to the acre, he said about sew
enty-fve. He also said they got about
the same amount without fertilizing-
When asked why did they fertilize
then he said. When we fertilize we
get good solid nuts, but when We do
not we get pops" Pops are the nuts
that look good from the outside but
contain nothing, and as we sell pea
nuts by the pound it pays us to spend
a little extra money and get better
crops It is the same way with yc>
people, some of you will be peanuts
and some of you will be pops. Now,
what are you going to be, peanut or
a pop?
I once spoke at a teachers meet
ing here in Topeka on the Bible text:
AS arrows in the hands of giants, so
are children to him who hath them.

the eagle in the sky, but with the aid
Of his bow and arrow he brings the
great eagle down. Older people have
