Bender to Open for Athletics
---McGraw Has Not Reached
Decision

NEW YORK, Oct eff the
weather is pleasant tomorrow nearly
forty thousand fans will surround the
playing surface at the Polo Grounds
to witness the first battle in the
worlds series between the New York
Giants and the Philadelphia Athletics.
The gates will be opened at s
O'Clock tomorrow morning, when per-
haps $4,000 unreserved seats in the
lower Srandstand and bleachers will
be placed on sale.
At 1870 o'clock the Seventh Regi-
ment band win begin a concert and at
o'clock sharp one of the four UNI
pires will shout play ball"
The series consists of seven games.
of which the coming champions must
win four. In so short a test 1t would
be foolhardy to predict victory for
either team. AS many shrewd baseball
sharps have stated. the team that gets
the breaks should get the money.
Mctsraw Handicapped.
McGraw has a handicap to contend
with at the outset in the disabiement
of Fred Snodgrass. his noted center
fielder. McGraw's famous big four.
Mathewson, Marquard, Tesreau and
Demaree, may be called the best
pitchers, collectively. in the National
league and upon them largely depends
the fate of New York. II Matty is not
selected for tomorrow's game 1t will
probably be due to a counter move by
Connie Mack, who is expected to send
mound. Matty and Bender are old
enemies and IL they appear tomorrow
the struggle will be bitter one.
Around Bender the whole crux Of
the series revolves, according to the
men who study baseball from every
angle IL Bender falls the Athletics
will lose. they say. II Bender can
pitch as we'll as he did in 1911 1t will
be all over with thu Giants. Hence the

Mack is Confident
Mack said when the Athletics ar
rived here at 10 o'clock tonight that
Bender would be the man Of the hour;
that he would assign him to the box
tomorrow afternoon, and furthermore,
he would win Mack said that he ex-
pected a hard series with the Giants
fighting gameiy and bitterly. but In
the end he could not see how his
great team would be beaten. Mack's
pitching staff has been pronounced
weak. with the exception of Bender
and Plank. the latter a left-hander.
But Mack laughed broadly when
somebody at the Hotel Somerset ask
ed him what would happen IL the
Giants should bat both Plank and
Bender freely.
We'll, I have four young fellows"
he replied, who can pitch a little, and
I'll not be afraid 10 put any OF them

seen before three games have been

that he Is some pitcher, too. We are

This action was taken. however,
only after a lengthy debate In which
Messrs. Mills, Umlauf, Fuller. Haddon

two conncilnen took exception to Mr..
Mills statement, that the only cause

the likelihood Of defeating the meas

EXHIBITS Of FARM
PRODUCTS At FAIR
LARGER THAN EVER
Excel Those of Previous Years
Both in Quantity and Quail
ity

That the annual exhibition of Vir-
ginia farm products. which opened
yesterday morning at the State fair,
is the best ever. was the unanimous
sentiment of the visitors to this de-
partment.
Although there Ia only one indi-
vidual farm represented. the number
of county exhibits is increased con-
siderab ten more counties than last
year having a display of Its products.
Out of the one hundred counties in
Virginia half OF this number Is rep
resented.

variety of the agricultural sources of

contributor to this State exhibit is
James Beilwood. of Chesterfield coun-
ty who has previously had an in
dividual exhibit.
MIR. Bellwood. whose farm is recog-
nized as one of the most fertile In
Virginia, has taken large number
Of blue ribbons and prizes with his
products. This year MFR. Bellwood
has contributed several varieties OF
grasses, grains and vegetables. One

Beilwood's competitors for first

of Mr.. Meinhard's exhibit is the dis
play Of fourteen varieties of clover

any fair. He is also exhibiting eleven
varieties Of apples, one of pears, three
of sweet potatoes and four of corn.
King Corn again rules supreme In
the agricultural department. Never

About 800 school children who have here
tofore attended the public school at Con-
gress Heights were yesterday transferred

Anacostia, on account OF improvements
that are to be made to the former school
which would make impossible to hold ses-
sions during such time 4 four-room
addition Is to be added TO the present
structure. Pupils in two fourth grades,
fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth, were
transferred to the Van Buren, and the
small children will be cared for in the
portable building and other small frame
structures on the school grounds at the
heights.

BATH RUG SHOULD
BE WASHABLE

Somehow a bathroom rug is a more or
less unsatisfactory proposition. 1t is
very likely because water will splash
upon it and damp towels, and even un-
slippered feet, insist upon seeking its
soft surface. And so, from sheer sani-
tary necessity, the bathroom rug must
be washable; and from sheer contrariness
a washable rug will slip and wriggle-at
least nine out OF ten DO.
But there is one kind that is more
quietly inclined than most, because II is
heavier-the old rag rug of our grand
mothers days. Cut an oval from some
heavy washable material the size you
desire when the rug is finished. Denim
would answer the purpose. Then from
strips of some heavy, soft, washable
goods make an even braid. being careful
to fold in the rough edges neatly while
plating the strips.
The braid may be as wide or as mar
row as you wish, and the strips cut ac-
cordingly. II the rug is to be blue and
white. have one strip Of white and two
of blue. so that the rug will not show
the soil too easily. Do not have the
strips too long, and have one shorter
than the other. This is to prevent them
from becoming tangled in the plating
As each end is used up in the plating
another can be attached neatly and the
joining will scarcely be perceptible.
Braid only short length at a time,
sewing them to the oval piece Of denim
which forms the foundation, as they are
finished. Use strong linen thread and
sew along each edge of the braid, con-
cealing the stitches under the loose parts
of the braid.

SUFFRAGISTS PLAN
ORATORICAL SCHOOL
Cause" Leaders Will Open Branch
Here to Fit Speakers for
the Stump.

1t has been decided to establish an equal
| suffrage school for orators in Washing
ton along the lines Of Mrs. Carrie Chap
man Cats school in New York City, ac-
coralng to an announcement made at
woman suffrage headquarters yesterday.
This school will be opened during the
week in which the National American
Woman Suffrage Association is in con-
vention here.
Members Of the College woman's s
make plans for the entertainment OF the
delegates TO the National College Equal
Suffrage League. which will hold its
annual convention in the Capital in con-
nection with the gathering of the dele
gates of the national suffrage body. Miss
Elsie Hill. daughter OF former Represen-
tative Hi.l OF Connecticut, is president OF
the local organization.
That the snti-suffragists give out state
ments with absolute recklessness and
abandon was alleged by the suffragists
yesterday by making reference to the re-
cent statement of Miss Annie Book, of
California, that she had neither given out
nor authorized the statement given out
by the "antis'' over her name some time
ago attacking the rule Of woman suffrage
in the Golden State"

EVERY GIRL SHOULD
KEEP TRAVEL BOOK

Every girl should keep one OF these,
for in time to come it will prove an in
valuable record OF pleasant times and
new experiences.
A view. or set of views, Of each place
you visit. amusing or interesting Incl
dents connected with your journey, your
travelling companions, and the house in
which you stayed, will bring back TO
you past experiences with a vividness
they would otherwise lack, and in look
ing over such a volume you will be
amazed TO find the giant events that have
sprung from trivial causes.
How little Elsa guessed that she would
meet the man who was to be her fate
on the fussy little steamer that piled be-
tween the banks of a Scottish loch.
It was only ''by chance" that she took
that boat; by chance" that his sister
smiled at her when they met again on
the summit OF a mountain; ''by chance"
that he and she learned to know each
other and that for good or i'll he made
his mark upon her life.
A tourney book may hold the secret
OF many a fair romance, and the sooner
you start one the more interesting the
record will be.

WOMAN AND THE HOME ,r. csss.s as,ss s' Man.
SOME SUGGESTIONS
FOR NEEDLEWOMAN
Beautiful Embroidered Initials Can Be
Wrought and Sewed on
Towels.

A mop cap Of fine lace has a broad rib
bon band of gayly embroidered purple
ribbon framing the face. A ribbon bow
at each side has ends falling gracefully,
mingled with the ends OF the lace.
In darning curtains il the rent is large
take a piece OF an old curtain and patch
the hole with It and the damage will
scarcely be noticed.
In order TO thread a needle easily with
worsted. take a scrap OF cotton wool
and twist 1t around the end OF the
worsted; this will allow the yarn to slip
through the eye Of the needle without
further trouble.
While it is nice to see embroidered in
itials upon towels and bed linen, yet
there is no need OF the busy woman
making initial grams when beautiful ones
can be purchased ready to sew on.
In planning the wardrobe women should
never neglect to supply themselves with
kitchen aprons. They should be selected
with a view to utility, which means that
they must well cover the front of the
dress and have two good, large pockets,
into which all sorts Of things can be
tumbled.
To economIze on thread raise the foot
of the machine to remove garment you
are sewing, but before cutting the thread
lower the foot again with top and lower
threads toward the back. You can then
cut the threads much shorter and the
foot will hold them firmly in place with
no trouble about the needle getting ac-
cidentally unthreaded. The work can
easily be placed under the foot again.
and you will find the needle always
threaded in place Of always unthreaded.
