ting forth the same sort of efforts to
shine this year that he did during the
past two campaigns
| He is playing good ball, OF course, but
there Is no incentive for him to force
himself into the limelight, for there is no
prize for him to work for. and he has
reasons for figuring his team out OF the

ed 1t has been several seasons since
Cobb has failed to be prominent in the
averages. as he is this year. He Is not
out of consideration so far as leading IN

is not showing that dash which made him
famous formerly.
New York fans are pulling for the Bos-
ton Red Sox to win the American League
pennant for they figure that II this comes
to pass the Giants will stand a much bet
ter chance to win the next worlds series
than il the Athletics would repeat This
belief is based on the fact that Mar
guard, a left-hander. is figured to have a
better chance against a team made up
principally OF left-handed hitters like Bos-
ton than he would against the Athletics
It is argued that good left-handed
pitcher can beat the Red sox. and Nc
Graw would work Marquard in more than
half Of the games should it come down
between the Giants and Red Sox TO decide
the worlds championship
Owner Navin Of the Detroit team seems
to have changed his mind anent Hughey
Jennings and he is out with a statement
that Jennings is not to blame for the
failure OF the Tigers this year Most
every one familiar with conditions was
aware of that fact before Mr.. Navin and
the story, printed several weeks ago. to
the effect that he was Disguised with his
manager created the impression that
Navin was not the base ball man that he
had been given credit for being.
Give Jennings some ball players and he
will probably prove himself as good a
manager as ever before. But without
players neither Jennings nor any other
man can have winner. 1t requires
good ball team to play good ball consist
emily. and all the brains and knowledge
cannot make lot OF weak players win
pennants.
While 1t is not impossible. it Is never
theless most improbable, that any team
will be able to beat the Giants out of the
pennant this year. At this time Nc
Graw's team is leading the race with a
thirteen and-a-half-game lead. It would
require an unheard-of slump to force
the Giants out Of the lead. and it is not a
team which Is apt to encounter that sort
OF reversal of form II it gets as good
as an even break on its next western
trip the race will virtually be over so far
as first place is concerned.

taken before the priests to be blessed
The children ranged in age from a few
weeks to three years.
The object of the ceremonies was mo-
only to bless the children. but to create
a greater interest in the parents for the
care Of the souls of the little ones. The
prime object of the ceremony as given
out by the ofIlciating priests was to call
the attention Of parents to their solemn
duty Of bringing children into the
world and rearing them In the right
way. The ceremonies were designed to
emphasize to mothers their duty to God
and to themselves.

 Cables Greetings

Nashville, December 13.-Joseph R. Will Ison, brother of President-e elect Woodrow Wilson, was the guest of honor at a hoo do banquet given here tonight by the Nashville Press club and the Nashville board of trade. Carrying out the idea that '13" is the lucky number of the Wilson family, the date of the banquet was fixed for Friday, the 18th. There were 13 tables with IS guests at each table. The orchestra played 13 selections. Thir- teen speakers were allowed exactly l3 minutes each in which to deliver ad- dresses, and were warned by a loud alarm clock of the expiration of their time limit. The hoodoo idea was carried out in many particulars, the banquet being planned along the lines of those given by the Grid iron club of Washington. Lee Douglass, who took a prominent part in the Wilson campaign in Tennessee, acted as toast master.
 Many letters and telegrams of regret were received from some of the most prominent editors and politicians of the nation. Governor Wilson, who is now in Bermuda, sent the following brief cable gram:

5000 TEACHERS
 NEEDED BY STATE
Anniston Superintendent Says Average sProfes-
 si0nal Life Five Years

Anniston, December 13.-(Speeial.)--D R. Murphy, superintendent of the Anniston public schools and former president of the Alabama Educational association, the executive committee of which he is still a member, states that the professional life of women teachers, according to statis-
 ties, is only five years; that teaching for
 women is but temporary occupation leading 10 marriage, which, he says, is the
 natural field of every woman.
 This fact is cited by MT. Murphy in an
 interview given out on Alabamas need for
 more teachers and the argument made
 by one of the candidates for governor in
 favor of decreasing the number of nor
 nal schools in Alabama. Alabama needs 5000 teachers to fully man her schools,
 said Mr. Murphy Friday afternoon, 'and on account of the annual loss through marriage, the teaching profession having been given over almost entirely to women and other causes, we need 1000 new teach- CTS every year, and the problem is where l to get them. This number of teachers cannot be gotten in Alabama," he said 1 ''as the six normal schools turn out only l 150 equipped teachers a year: but they are the only available source of supply, I he continued. Instead of aboishing the normal schools Mr. Murphy said, they should be extended along with the com
 mon schools for who is to teach the com
 mon schools if the normal schools do not supply the teaching forces?"
 The great educational need in Alabama, he says, is a special school tax, the pro- ceeds of which will be devoted exclusive ly to school purposes. More money will enable larger salaries, and 1t will then be possible to induce men to enter the teaching profession.
