New York, Aug, IA pension APP
proximating half pay for every Episco-
pal clergyman more than 65 years old

omended in a preliminary report, issued
yesterday, OF tine commission on PEN

Bishop Lawrence OF Massachusetts, is
chairman and Bishop Greer of New York
a member.
The pension plan, which has been
framed by Mcneil Sayre, an expert of
the Carnegie foundation, after an ex
haustiye investigation by the commits
sion of every pension system in the
world embraces in its scope the entire
body of $500 clergymen employed in
domestic and foreign fields. A fund of
S7,000,000 would be necessary at the
start and S500,000 would be expended
annually thereafter. The annual obi
cations would be met, under the plan,
by tax on individual churches approx
imately six per cent. of the amounts
paid in salaries and scientifically grad
uated with respect to the ages at which
the rectors were ordained.
Widows of clergymen would be pen
stoned, clergymen's orphaned children

WINS THIRD RICH STAKE.
Tenara Captured Every Heat in $4,000
Stake at Kalamazoo.

Kalamazoo, Mich, Aug. l7.-Before
the largest crowd that ever witnessed a
horse race in Kalamazoo, the Kentucky
mare Tenara, driven by Andrews, easily
won the $4,000 Paper Mills stake, the
feature of the card of the grand circuit
Yesterday. The event was raced on the
four heat plan, $4,000 for each heat.
In the first heat Tenara and Judson
Girl, who will meet again in the NJ. and
M. in Detroit, raced even to the half
when Judson Girl broke. Andrews had
no trouble in bringing Tenara under the
wire an easy winner, with Fan Patch
second and Reusens following closely.
In the second heat Tenara lay back
until the half mile post when she went
out in front and won, eased up. In the
next two heats Andrews kept the mare
in front all the way.
This is the third rich stake won by
Tenara this season, she having captured
$4,000 events at both Fort Erie and
Grand Rapids.
In the 2:l6 trot, Frances Graham had
no difficulty in beating Grand Marshall,
the favorite. Geers sprung big sur
prise when he drove his mare under the
wire first in every heat.
In the 2:l0 pace there were only four
starters MacThistle easily won the
first heat. In the second he was pocket
ed all the way and View Elder won.
Then the judge declared all bets off and
Hoffman was given the mount behind
MacThistle, in place of Steadman. The
shift had no effect, as View Elder took
the next two heats in easy fashion.

SPORTING NOTES

Manager Birmingham is full of hope.
He looks for the Clevelands to trim out
the Athletics. He SAYS that either
Mitchell or Gregg can beat the Mack
men any time they pitch and so can
Felkenburg. He says that the Maps are
playing unbeatable ball now Just as
they did at the start of the season, La
joie, Chapman, Steam and himself hav-
ing fully recovered from their injuries.
He says that the reason the Mackmen,
win so many games at home is because
OF the scoreboard in center field. which
prevents visitors from hitting left hand
ers.
In the National league the Brooklyn
Dodgers are in the lead with club bat
ting. The Phillies lead in club fielding,
while they also lead in extra base hits.
Cravath OF the Phillies holds down the
long distance hitters. and Mathewson is
the best pitcher. In the American
league the Athletics lead in both fielding
and batting. The Boston club claims
the records for extra base hitting
Boehling and johnson are the leading
