instinct Stronger Than Will.

A curious story is told of OAR
win and snakes. Heused to go into
the London Geological society's gar
dens, Regents park, and, standing
by the glass case containing the
cobra de capello, put his forehead
against the glass while the cobra
struck out at him. The glass was
between them. Darwin's mind was
perfectly convinced as to the inabil-
ity of the snake to harm him, yet he
would always dodge. Time after
time he tried it, his will and reason
keeping him there, his instinct MAX
ing him dodge. The instinct was
stronger than both will and reason.

A good, wide, open mouthed
yawn is splendid thing for the
whole body. A yawn is natures
demand for rest. Some people
think they only yawn because they
are sleepy. But this is not SO. You
yawn because you are tired. You
may be sleepy also, but that is not
the real cause of Your yawning.
And if you are where you can
stretch at the same time as you
yawn, stretch and yawn. This is
natures way Of stretching and re-
laxing the muscles. Indeed, if you
are very tired, but do not feel like
yawning, there is nothing tina. will

The Game of Drafts.

The origin of the game of drafts
is unknown. Paul de Mallet in his
treatise on drafts, written about
1868, shows quite clearly that the
game, or its equivalent at least, is
depicted on the Egyptian monu-
ments The game was certainly
known among the Greeks and Ro-
mans of the earlier times, and
traces of drafts have unmistakably
been discovered in the writings of
other peoples of antiquity. The
game saw a great revival in Europe
during the sixteenth century.

Charity begins at home, SAYS
| the axiom. Charit. is but one Of
many things that do At home,
. likewise, prosperity begins.
The nation is a union Of states,
the state union of communities.
/ If the villages and towns and citirs
Of the country. with their sur
rounding territories are busy and
happy, so will the nation be busE
and happy. The nations pros
perity depends not so much on
whether they have legislation in
Washington or rain somewhere
else as on the disposition of the
people Of this community and Of a
thousand similar communities.
Are we doing our share? Are
we doing all we can to develop
our community, thereby aiding in
the development of the country as
a whole?
Prosperity is not some mys
terious thing created in Washing
ton or Wall Street and distributed
to our people by our fnanciers
and legislators. Prosperity is
something that originates on the
prairie, in the valley, in the viii
lage, in the shop, on the farm.
Prosperity is produced not so
much by legislation as by industry.
The man who is making the most
he can out of his farm, of his busi-
ness, his learning or his labor,
and spending it wisely, is the man
who is making the town and the
nation prosperous.
Prosperity begins at home.
Let's all promote its growth here.

TRAPPED THE TRAITOR.
Washington's Clever Way of Meeting
a Case Of Treaehery.

Among the many anecdotes told
Of Washington is one Of how lie
escaped capture at the hands Of d
tgcuCAerouS host, whom ne after
ward Dardoncd at the earnest plead
ing Of the cuIprit,s family.
The American army was en-
campcd near West Point, when one
day their commander was invited
to visit d nearby mansion and dine
with an old gentleman at precisely
2 o'clock. Having been accustomed
to visit the family, he at first trust.
cd this Old man, but whispers got
about questioning his fidelity to the
patriot cause, which at last WASH
inyt0n resolved to put to a test.
The host had been insjstcnt as to
the hOur for dinner and intimated
that guard would not be necessary.
This somewhat aroused Washing
toms suspicion, so he decided to ar
rive at least an hour earlier than
the appointed time. The host sug-
gcstcd a walk on the piazza and by
his nervousness soon made it eyi-
dent to his guest that something
was wrong. Washington brought
the conversation around to the sub
ject of traitors, and he wondered at
the lack Of principle that would
cause native born Americans to join
the enemy for little glittering
gold. His fixed look as he made
these remarks made the traitor
quail, but now the sound Of horses
hools was heard, and up rode a
company Of Dragons in scarlet
coats.
"What cavalry are these" ex-
claimed Washington. "What does
this mean?"
"a party Of British light horse
sent for my protection answered
his host.
British horse-to protect you
while | am your guest. What does
this mean, sir?"
The troops, now dismounting,
came toward the piazza, and the old
man, getting close to his guest, said,
General, you are my prisoner"
II believe not" said Washington.
"But, sir, I know that you are
mine! Arrest this traitor, officerw
Not knowing what to make of
this turn of affairs, the hypocrite
looked from Washington to the
troopers and then saw that they
were American cavalrymen whom
Washington had disguised in Brit
ish uniforms and who arrived
promptly at AS in order to pro-
tect their general and aid him to
test the truth or falseness of his
host.
Being conducted, a prisoner, to
the camp, the false friend after
ward confessed that he had been
bribed to deliver Washington to a
squadron of the enemy at 2 o'clock
on the day when the American COM
mander was his visitor.-H. A. Og-

KRAMER AND
CLARKE MAY
MEET NO MORE
Sunday Battles Between
Two Are Doubtful Because
of Chapman's Plan.

The c~ycle-raoing season VIII close
Sunday with a big meet at the veio-
drome. The big place will be locked nm
for the winter after the meet Sunday
and the local fans will see no more
cycle-racing until next April. The
meet Sunday may go down to posterity
famous as the last meeting of those
great warriors of the cycle track.
Frank Kramer and Jackie Clarke. Yes.
this may be their last meeting. Both
of these riders are going to tackle
John M. Chapman for contracts for
next season here and, Of course, they
both will demand a heavy bonus for
signing a contract. Their contracts
for this season expire November 10.
and they are both free agents after
h They a go wherever they like.
and as Messrs. Frank Million ana
Chapman have come out with the uiti-
matum that there will be no more
bonuses paid to any of the riders II
looks as though Sunday would be the
last seen here of Clarke and Kramer
for a long time to come.
THE rocket" will probably ride at
salt Lake next season, and II Kramer
does not get a bonus he will invade
the tracks of Europe. Both III
rocket" and the marvel prefer to
remain in Newark next season, but
they are not so strong for Newark that
they will remain here without receiv-
ing the customary bonus.
About the only thing in common be-
tween Kramer and Clarke is their de-
mand for a bonus. In everything else
they are out TO trim each other. They
are both training their heads OF for
the final meet Sunday, and as they
may not meet again for possibly a
couple of years or more they are both
anxious to put over a knockout punch
Sunday, when they meet 1 n a mat
race n two open events. They are
both in tip top condition and there can
be no excuses offered by either ON the
score of a lack of condition. Jackie
Clarke is going great guns and feels
that he will top off his season here
with a string of victories Sunday. With
three races on for the stars there is a
chance for the rocket" to win three
irsts. This would be a great finish
for the little fellow. and one that
would nave his many admirers here
shouting for him all winter.
However, the old "champer," Kra-
mer, is going to be there, and he will
play a prominent part In the doings,
which means that he will try to nip
the rockets ambitions in the bud.
Kramer would be delighted to put over
three victories himself Sunday, and
humble his rival by way of bowling
off for the season.

BARRY'S PLAY
GREATEST OF
WORLD SERIES
All the Umpires Agree Third
Game Saw Jacks
Masterpiece.

When you find -four umpires that
agree that one play is the greatest of
a series 1t is pretty near positive proof
that such is the case. Bill KLEIN,
Tommy Connolly. Bill Brennan and
Bill Dineen, the masters of play in
the series, were talking together as
they sat around the corridors of the
Bellevue-Stratford the other day.
The best play of the series, eh?"
said Connolly. "Well, I've got mine all
picked out. The play was made by
Jack Barry, and it was in the eighth
inning of the third game. Fletcher
hit a ball that was going at the rate
of a mile q minute. Barry flelded 1t
clearly. don't care so much about
that. but he went after the ball In
such a way hat he was right In back
of it and In a position to throw.
THAT hit meant everything in that
game, and II Barry had not felded
the ball so clearly 1t would have
been all off with Coombs, who was
pitching the finest game he ever pitched
when ! was around"
"You got that play all right for
mine" added KLEIN, land I want to tell
3od That II WAS dbOhl dH HNClA u "a
as I have seen this year" Dineen and
Brennan both chimed In with a COM
pliment. and agreed that Tom had
picked out the single play of the Sc
ries hat was worth any hurrah.
Speaking about Barry, Hughey Jen-
nings. the arch-enemy of the Mackmen,
and who is boldly accused of giving
information regarding the Athletics
weakness to the Giants, came through
with the strongest boots that he has
I'VE spo'len of his stalwart foemen.
I'D rather have Barry" the red
haired leader stated, than any 400
hitter | nthe business. There's the best
shortstop In the business. He goes over
more ground than any other man I
know; he is always in a position to
throw, and as a thrower my name
for him is '~sharpshooter.'
Give me Barry at shortstop and I'd
never lose a pennant with my team.
In a pinch he hits better than anybody
in our league outside of Cobb. He's
the apple Of my eye as a shortstop, for
I've played the position myself.
None of the old-timers nor any of
the new ones are his superior, and
think that he is the best man in the
country in the place."

SUPERIORITY OF THE
ATHLETICS DECIDED
THE WORLDS SERIES
In Every Department Except Catching
Mack's Mems Supremacy Asserted Itself
and eliminated in Yesterdays Rout.
BENDER SURPRISES ALL BY HIS
GOOD WORK; MATTY DISAPPOINTS

dicted that Bender would be of no use
for he was not showing anything in
his final games. He was not cunning
for the small game. He wanted the
big game TN revengel
Today he is happy, but with true
Indian stoicism, the pitching hero of
the series has nothing to say. How
many pitchers could come back after
losing the first heart-breaker and then
a two in a row? Once Matty was
beaten he was done. Not so Bender
He did the same in the last Giant
Athletic worlds series-lost his first
and won his second.
New York scribes agreed after the
first three games that the Athletics
were the better team, no matter who
won. Many fans based their opinions
on the pitching celebrities of the Giants
-Mathewson and Marquard. Matty
was dangerous. but Marquard-he was
always inclined to be fdcty in the
pinches. and was an unknown quantity
in spite of the fact that he pitched the
Giants to a p%ennant.
But the most partisan Philadelphia
rooter did not expect that Bender,
Plank and Coombs would hold the
Giant %sluggers down as they did.
Coonabs would certainly have won his
second game of the series had Connie
Mack followed his own judgment and
yanked him, How badly COMBS was
hurt and how gamely he fought can
be realized from the fact that he has
been unable to leave his bed since
Wednesday, and may not be able to
pitch at all next season.
The Athletics are a wonderful ma
chine. Their base hits furnish an ir-
resistible 1ocomotion that none can re
sist. Their engines were ~throbbing In
thoroughbred style and each c~oncussion
sent the machines leaping and bound
ing forward.
Frank Baker was the biggest noise
with the stick. One of his home runs
gave the Athletics the edge on the
Giants. The other pulled a sure defeat
out of the fire. Harry Davis, a veteran,
of whom little was expected, outplayed
at every angle the great Merkle, who
was such a star in the National League
race. Doyle was a tower of strength
to the Giants, but, alas, Red Murray
fell down utterly and Doyle failed to
shine as he would have with some hit
ting to put him around the bases.
Larry was left on bases six times.
Collins, in spite of his tendency to
crack under the strain In the early
contest played a great game, and with
Bel y scored a majority of@his teams
rus. In every position excepting pos
sibly second base and behind the bat
the Giants were outclassed, more or
less. Especially vas this true in the
outfield.'

BY z. ]. BENDEL.

Well, it's all over. Shibe Park and
The Polo Grounds are dese~rted-locked
UP for the season. The Athletics have
successfully defended their title as
champions of he world against the
challenging Giants. Whether you root
ed for the Athletics or the Giants, you
must admit that the better team won.
Blu it will take a long time for the
violent eruption that has been shaking
Mt. Baseball to simmer down.
1t was a wonderful set of games, as
clean as hard fought as the most
fastidious fan could desire. The Ath-
1etics started out under a handicap
when ne Giants won the first game.
Previously. with one exception. the
team that won the first game generally
landed the series. The Athletics proved
to be great fighters from behind. In
three of the contests the Giants scored
first and were overtaken and beaten;
in fact the Athletics lie not seem able
to do any smuggling until they were put
to the test.
McGraw's men, too, showed game
ness in the two games they won. In
the first battle Bender and Mathewson
had a mighty battle. The Athletics
scored first, but the Giants tied 1t up
and then won out. The Indian and the
pale-face fought like demons in that
contest. which really had more effect
on the remaining battles than is gen
orally conceded, for though the redskin
was ~vanquished he took the white
mans stamina from him, so hat Mat
ty, even after a weeks rest, due to the
long reign" of the rain king, crumpled
and wilted before the enemy's seeth-
ing attack.
Six years before the Indian and the
white man had met and the Indian
had been vanquished. Matty vas the
star. He won three in a row for the
Giants, but Connie Mack's Indian ally
held deep in his heart a bitter desire
for revenge Six long years aged both
men under the long and trying CAM
paigns of as many summers, but the
Indian withstood it better than the
Giant, and when he had his chance his
heart was strong and even in defeat
he was victorious. He knew 1t.
When Bender's name was announced
yesterday as Mack's selection the Ath-
letics' friends questioned Mack's wis
dom, Soon they saw he had played his
hand well. Bender was a pitcher sup
posed to need four days rest at the
least. Mack should have taken a
chance on Plank, and if he did lose.
well, Bender would be ready and re.
liable for the seventh game. with more
chances of victory after a two-day
rest han with only one day to re-
cuperate from his gruellinc battle on
Tuesday. But Mack Lad laid his plans

It's all off.
Some are saying that the only fair
way would have been to blindfold the
Athletic batters to give the Giants
some sort of a chance.
McGraw made a mistake in not de-

series. No telling what the Doc may
