TWO OPEN LETTERS.

Requesting the Celebration of the
'" I1Wenty-fifth Anniversary of J. G.
Adams Editorship of the Appeal.
r.. & St. Paul, Mimi, April "a, 1911.
Mr.. J. @. Adams, =.
City j..
My Dear Mr.. Adams:
Il AS had the honor, if such it may
be- denOminated, of being the first
editor of THE APPEAL, then known
as the Western Appeal" I have
watched it's course with, perhaps,
more interest than that generally
evinced by others. Having been so
closely connected with it's early
history, and knowing something of
the hardships that surrounded it
then. and doubtless do still, I can
more fully appreciate the efforts you
have put forth in maintaining it and
conducting it on the high plane upon
which it has always stood, than can
those who are not familiar with the
business side of it. Ei ;7
Since the advent of THE APPEAL
there have been number Of publica-
tions started in this state under vari-
Gus auspices that passed from the
field of action after brief and fitful
existence, but THE APPEAL is still
doing business at the old stand.
Now, Mr.. Editor, as the paper has
been in existence since June 1885,
and you became associated with it in
! 1886, this year is the twenty-ffth
year Of your connection with it as
editor and manager, and I believe
that this fact should entitle you to
some special consideration at the
hands of the people whom you have
served so long and well.
Last year, through your efforts
the twenty-fifth anniversary of the
birth of the paper was celebrated
in a most fitting manner, and the
entertainment and souvenir edition
In connection with that occasion have
never been equaled in Minnesota
nor elsewhere, for that matter.
Since it was your able manage
ment that maintained the paper
some honor and credit is due you
and, am one who delights ssf@to dc
honor unto those TO whom honor i.
due" And | believe the people o
st. Paul, and throughout the state
will be glad to join in celebratin,
your twenty-fifth anniversary as edit
| or of THE APPEAL
Your able management of th
Quarter-C Centennial Celebration o
THE APPEAL last year, was seen an
recognized by every one who wa
present; and, If you, yourself, wi
take charge of the matter as you .di
then, I am confident that the publ
will feel satisfied that everythin
that can be done will be done {
make the occasion grand success
and that with me the people wi
willingly say: Just you go ahea
and we'll hold your coat. =
Very truly yours,
D. Parker.

DOPE ON THE WORLDS SERIES
Giants and Athletics Compared Man
by Man for Glass.
CONTRAST or THE LEADERS
McGFaw and Mack Distinct Types
of Base Ball Generals, Each
with style Peculiar
70 Himself.

NEW YORK. oct lS-The world'i
championship base ball series about to
begin. marks the climax Of interest in
the great American game of base ball.
The. championship contest comes every
year, but Is ever new in the intense ex-
element 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
over their magnificent base ball home
at Shibe park at Philadelphia. and with
another American league flag freshly
won, Connie Mack and his Philadelphians
now meet John J. McGraw and his Giants
Of the National league. It's the second
time that these two generals have FLASHED
over the same great issue. In the war OF
1906 McGraw won four of the. five bat
ties and thereby brought to New York a
worlds pennant
Seasoned by six years more expert
ence in the generalship Of their formi-
dable. base ball forces, these two base ball
leaders now meet again for the champion
ship struggle Two more divergent types
than McGraw and Mack cannot be picked
in the base ball world. The contest be-
twesn the two chiefs may be summed
up briefly as follows:

league 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 men
who were with him when he fought in
vain for the 1906 flag. They are Bender,
Plank, Lord, Hartsel. Murphy and Harry
Davis. Head and shoulders above them
all stands Chief" Bender, a redskin OF
the Chippewa, tribe, who was sent TO the
Carlisle school for his education and
promptly evihced his fondness for the
great white mans game. After leaving
college he joined the Harrisburg, Pa,
team, and in 1903 was brought into the big
league by Connie Mack. He became one
of a famous quntette of twirlers which
brought Philadelphia into its second
league championship in 1906. In the
world series he was the pitching hero of
the only game which the Athletics
took from the Giants" that year. On
the other hand, to him is charged the
only defeat suffered by the Athletics
in the series with Chicago last year,
though this came after he had allowed
but one hit for eight innings.
With the Indian in the box is, as was
the case last year, Jack Coombs, the real
hero OF the last series. Coombs, known
as Macks man Of iron" won three
straight games in the 1910 series, a feat
which the Giant MAthewson equaled in
1905.
Coombs is q years old. He played
at Colby college. in Maine and gradu-
ated at once into big league company

league during the season. 1t was In very

a good percentage OF his hits by beating
