Philadelphia TrlumphS Over
New York In Worlds Series.

The Philadelphia Athletics won
the baseball championship of the
world for 1913 Saturday afternoon
by defeating the New York Giants,
3 to 1, in the fifth and deciding
game of the series.
With the score of games stand
ing 3 to 1 in their favor the Ameri-
can League representatives went
in to clinch the series and before
the mastery playing of the Mack
men the National Leaguers had alb
solutely no chance. Connie Mack,
anxious to finish the struggle on
the final day of the week, sent
Eddie Plank, his veteran south
paw, to the mound and John Nc
Graw. his back to the wall, called
upon Christy Mathewson to check
the victorious rush of the Athletics
and thus gain for his team a
breathing spell.
Both teams played great ball
but the Giants were out-classed and
had it not been for the powerful
Mathewson the Giants would have
not won a single game.
The score of each game was as
follows: First game, Philadelphia
6; New York 4. Second game,
New York 3; Philadelphia O..
Third game, Philadelphia 8; New
York 9. Fourth game, Phila-
delphia 6; New York 5. Fifth
game, Philadelphia 3; New York l..

A CHAMPION SPELLER.
Horace Greeley Was Wonder When
Only Six Years of Age.

Horace GreeIey was Wonoer Wnen
Only Six Years of Age.
No champion of the old time spelling
matches. perhaps, ever excelled Horace
Greeley. He was, in fact, spelling
prodigy. What would the boys and
girls of today, who grumble over their
daily stint of twenty words. think OF
a child not yet six years old who could
actually spell every word in the lam
guage! That is what the young Horace
Is said to have been able to do.
His schooling began in his fourth
year, and the art of spelling at once
became passion with him. In school
and out he kept necessarily al its
study Hour after hour he would lie
on the floor, spelling over all the diff
cult words he could find in the few
books that the family owned.
The fame of his prowess spread.
Naturally Horace was the first one
chosen at spelling matches. He had a
Iisping. whining voice and spelled his
words with the utmost confidence.
Sometimes in winter. when the snow
drifts were so deep that one of the
big boys had to take him to the school
house on his back, the little white
haired fellow would drop asleep be-
tween turns. When his word came
round his neighbor would nudge him
anxiously He would wake, spell his
word and drop asleep again at once.
So great was the boys reputation as
a student of unusual powers that the
selectmen Of neighboring town. in
passing a rule forbidding the attend
ance at the local school of any pupil
from outside the township, honored
him by adding the clause. Excepting
only Horace Greeley."-Youth's Com

When England Was Drunken.

In an article in the London Lancet on
drunkenness and the Physiological
Effect of Alcohol" DIR. Charles Mercer
draws this picture Of conditions In
England before 1t became "a sober ma
tion:" In those days the doctor was
often half seas over when he attended
his drunken patient; judge, counsel and
attorneys pursued their avocations in
court in a prevailing atmosphere Of hot
cOppers The prime minister went
drunk to the house of commons, where
he was attacked by the leader of the
opposition, also drunk, while order was
kept by a speaker who was half seas
over. There was no excise on spirits,
and the coarser kinds of distilled
liquors were ridiculously cheap. AS
you passed along the by streets of Lon
don, and perhaps of other great cities,
you might read the legend hung out
over the drink cellars, Here you may
get drunk for penny; dead drunk and
clean straw for tuppence.'
