The Worlds Series.

Again we have the worlds series with us and for
week to come the most interesting section Of the
newspapers TO hundreds Of thousands Of readers
Will be that in which the experts Sc forth the rela
tive chances of the Giants and the Athletics. After
the clash begins, week from tomorrow. each after
noon will be a period Of distraction and the hearts
of those who toll IN offices, factories and other tenn
porary prisons will be at the ticker or the street
bulletin board
Prophecies in baseball dangerous, since there
are always likely 70 be breaks in the game to defeat
the most rigid calculations. Especially is this true
in a brief series in which form does not always
have proper opportunity to make itself felt and it
is just that unavoidable element OF uncertainty
which will add the final zest to the encounters next
week.
We may read in the seasons statistics that the
Athletics lead the American League In both batting
and fielding while the Giants are second in the
National League in batting and fifth in fielding.
We may also discover that the team batting average
of the Athletics is .2S2 and that Of the Giants IS
.267, the team fielding average of the Athletics
being .9Gj and that Of the Giants 96l. Further, it
is on record that Of the leading ten baters in their
league the Athletics have three, Of the leading ten
base stealers two and Of the leading ten run get
ters four while in the same classications In the
National League the Giants have none four and
none respectively. The Athletics have four battcrs
I'm the 800 or over class while the Giants have only
one
Yet this paper showing will not greatly affect
the pubc's Judgment of the merits OF the two
teams or Of their chances Of success. The Giants
are probably as much stronger in pitching as the
Athletics are in batting. There can be no real
criterion of success other than the test on the ball
field May as many of our readers ms possible be
on hand to see the struggles and may the better
team win!

One Past Masters Tribute to Another.

II was William J. Gavnor who first advised New
Workers "to say kind word of or. our dlstih-
g1lished podesta, the Hon. Charles +. Murphy. Now
Richard Croker follows that advice, taking an
opportunity at the same time 10 say some very
harsh and ungracious words about the dead Mayor
The EXPOSES censure is in high degree untlmeIy
and his praise is likely to be considered equally So"
Murphy has not been receiving many fattering
testimonials of late. When he nominated John y.
Dix for Governor THE Evening Post spoke OF him
rs "Mr Murphy" and came near classifying him as
n genuine force for righteousness. Those were
happy days. Since the real character and effect
of Murphys leadership in state. politics have been
disclosed he has not had much chance to feed fat
on cheering epithets julius hamburger, our euphu-
istic shrieve has now and then declared him TO he
the greatest of living statesmen (and of dead ones
TOO barring perhaps. Washington and Lincoln but
Juus's hattery has smacked a little too much OF
the fervor Of retainer who has held one good city
office and hopes to hold still another. \ compli-
ment goes further when rendered by former asso-
ciate who views the local scene from distance OF
three thousand miles and who has no incentive TO
either reminiscent antlcipatory gratitude.
In that sense the Croker eulogy may warm the
cookies Of Murphys heart. 1t is an appreciation
from an insider and expert. There IS legend
that Frederick the Great once sent sword 10
George Washington inscribed From the greatest
general OF the Old World TO the greatest general OF

Robbins Peter to Pay Paul.

Mr.. Earl Hardng's article In 1.-THE Worlds Work
on the settlement OF our controversy with COLOMBIA
over the secession of Panama contains much that IS
iudicous and commendable but also two consplc'
uous features with which it is quite Impossible TO
agree One of these is the nOtiOn-which is less his
than the Coombians, yet TO which even ne 700
much inclnes-that change Of domestic politics
involves a reversal of foreign policy, and that a
Democratic administration may repudiate the ell
gagements Of its Republican predecessor simply be-
cause Of such a change. Nothing could be more per-
nicous or more certain to compromise the interna-
tiona standing and good fame Of the country when
INDUCED I'm such tricks. The fundamental principle
of a nations foreign policy must be that united
and consistent front shall be presented to the exter
nal world And if a reversal of policy is to be made
for adequate cause it is obviously far better that It
Should he made by the same party that established
the policy than by the opposing party.
The other is the proposal that should repartl-
ton the isthmus, taking for ourselves central
strip fifty or sixty miles wide instead OF ten from
the Gulf Of San Bias to the Coce River, giving TO
Colombia all east OF the Gulf Of San Bias and the
Bayan0 River and leaving to Panama only the
western half of the present area of the republic.
This is really fragrant proposition to pay the Co
lombian Paul by robbng the Panaman Peter. We
should like to know on what moral ground-there is
no possible ground of law or treaty-this could be
done. Mr.. Harding dwells upon the sentimental
loss that Colombia feels in the secession Of Panama
ard the need of recouping it to her by other than
financial means. But what would it mean to the
sentiment and the historic traditions Of Panama to
be forclbIy deprived Of the cities Of Panama and
Colon and practically all of the provinces of those
names?
Mr. Harding seeks to justify such spollation on
fhe ground that our ten-mile zone is not wide
enough for the proper protection of the canal, and
cites the provision Of the treaty that we shall have
the right TO take additional land outside the II
necessary for canal purposes. Yes; but the treaty

WOMEN SHOW UNFITNESS

such sentiments they know that they run
