TINKER MUST PLAY
 OR GIVE UP POSITION

Cincinnati, Oct 1s.-Manager Tinker is here to sign his contract for next season and make arrahgements for the spring training trip, which will probably be taken to Alexandria, La.
 While not word has been said about Joe's contract for 1914, it is cer- tain that he will quickly come to terms with the Red chief, who thinks his work last season well deserving of an- other trial. Though the team finished lower than ever before in 12 years, both in position and percentage, Pres ident Hermann is fully satisfied that Joe did as well as could be expected in the circumstances, and feels sure that he will be able to show marked Improvement in another season.
 As to the attack which Manager Tin ker made on President Herrmann's methods last summer, the Red chief has forgotten all about that and har- bors no iIlwin against his manager. It was not hard for him to show where Joe was wrong in several of his charges, and it will not be hard for the two men to get together and work in harmony for the coming season.
 There is just one thing that MT. Hermann will insist on forcib1y, when it comes to signing up for 1914, and that is that Tinker must play his reg ular position at shortstop in every game, unless barred by injury. The only serious error Joe made in the 1913 season was in showing a. ten dency to duck out of the lineup a little too often. He was playing as good ball as any shortstop in the league, and leading the club in batting and timely hitting, so that his absence was grievously felt.
 Tinker felt that he might do better in handling the club if he was on the bench, where he could take a wider view of the game as a, whole than if he was mixed up in the pastime ac- lively This was an error, for the long est losing streak of the season, lasting through seven straight games, took place while he was on the bench. Then he went back to the game, and the team immediately braced, won five straight games, and took a majority of their contests for the rest of the season.
 In their conference President Herr mann will impress upon Joe that his ability as a shortstop sIsd a hitter must be exercised in the interests of the ball club, as well as his qualities of leadership This is the most inn portant point on which the two men differ, and it will be settled without argument Manager Tinker has made an excellent start toward a. winning club, and there is not the slightest doubt that the Reds will be more of a. factor in the race next season than they were this year.

RIG FOOTBALL TEAMS
 MUST HUSTLE TODAY
Yale Meets Lehigh, Harvard Tackles Holy Cross and Princeton Has Syracuse.

New Haven, Oct. 18-There was no disposition on Yale's part to take chances with Lehigh, this afternoon, in spite of the fact that the visitors were not considered to be as forn11daL- ble as Lafayette which played here a week ago. The blue eleven was prac- ticalIy the same as used in the latter game Head Coach Jones gave his at- tention to strengthening the second- ary defense and in trying out the ends in order to find some of the first string material. The Iinemen and ends were labelled with white paper.
 Princeton, Oct. 1s=Princeton's foot ball squad was confident of victory, today, over Syracuse, although a hard CT struggle was looked for than the contest to last year, when Syracuse was defeated 62 to 0.
 Philadelphia, Oct 1s-The Univer- sity of Pennsylvania football team was determined to wipe out the defeats which the red and blue have sustain ed during the past two years at the hands of Brown University when the two eIevens faced each other on Franklin Field, today. Last year, the score was 70 to g, in favor of the visit ors, and in 1911 Brown won by the score of to o. Crowther, the quar- terback, was graduated last year, and will be missed from Browns lineup. Pennsylvania has given evidence of a slump during the practice, this week.

 The showing of the big football a long way toward determining which of the leading teams are to finish the season with flying colors. Pennsyl- vania. which under the direction of George Brooke has been doing very well this year, will have the hardest opponent in Brown. Although the Providence eleven is not up to former standards it will probably make the Quakers hustleg Lehigh is usually strong but the present team has not played game in two weeks and as several of the best men are injured, the boys from Pennsylvania hardly expect to hold the Ellis.
 Harvard ningles with Holy Cross be crippled. The Crimson will be without BrickIey, BradIee and Hitch cock while a number of the Holy Cross stars are out of the lineup. Still if Harvard does not win by a com fortable margin the critics will say the Cambridge eleven is not as fast as Yale. Princeton will face Syracuse, a team that has held the best of them in former years. When these games are over the fans will have a better idea of the relative merits of the co1- Iege squads.
 The New York Sun prints a story this morning in which 1t is claimed that the New York Giants refused to give Larry Mclean 8 full share of the worlds series money. It is said they only allowed him $500. He made such roar that they agreed to assess each member $2o more but Chief Meyers refused to contribute another cent. Then Mclean started for Mey- ers' home toi lick the Indian but the other players jumped on him and held

A vILLAINoUs MEASURE.

Those who criticise President
Taft for vetoing the immigration
Bill which imposed a literacy test
upon immigrants as pre-requis-
tie for entrance to this country
seem to have overlooked entirely
the villainous character of the
measure. 1t was vicious in intent,
unjust in it's discrimination and
plainly aimed at the immigrants
who come from the Catholic coun-
tries of Southern Europe
In all bills of a similar nature
hitherto proposed no discrimina-
ton was made between immi-
grants from one country and those
from another. Whatever measures
were proposed to regulate or to
restrict immigration applied with
equal force to all. But the au-
thors Of the bill which failed of
enactment by the present Con-
gress were, apparently, afraid Of
the Jews, and they inserted in it
a special provision exempting
from the literacy test all immi-
grants from countries where they
were prosecuted on account Of
their religion. This would let
down the bars for the entrance Of
the Russian Jews who are the vic
Tins of religious persecution in
their native land.
The measure was un-American
in spirit, dishonest in purpose,
and deserved the fate meted out
to it by those who were unwilling
to stand sponsors for such odious
legislation.

if carried to a successful issue,
will do more than anything
else to stop the dissemination Of
this bogus oath and put an end to
the attempts now being made to
arouse opposition to Catholics by
such methods. Every intelligent
Protestant knows that the Knights
of Columbus take no such oath !;
but there is a considerable ele-
ment in this country who are un-
reasonable in their prejudice
against Catholics, and who do not
hesitate to pin their faith to
every shred of supposed evidence
that can be adduced in an attempt
to show that the Catholic Church
is a menace to American institu-
tions. We hope that the Knights
of Columbus will soon be able to
prove to the world that the efforts
made to discredit the organiza-
ton and, through it, Catholics in
general, is nothing more than a
despicable conspiracy fathered
and propagated by those who pos
sess whatever modicum of dis
torted brains there is among the

During Lent the Passion of our
Lord should be the chief subject
of our meditation as it is the up
permost consideration in the mind
of the Church. The Way of the
Cross, which is the official devo-
ton on Fridays during Lent,
serves to keep before us the cul-
minating scene in the great drama
which marked the close of our
Saviour's earthly career. At
tendance at this devotion with the
sentiments of love and contri-
ton which it is so well calculated
to inspire, will serve to keep
wildly before our minds the true
meaning of Lent-a time Of pray.
er and penance, rich in spiritual
blessings for those who observe
it faithfully.

WHAT SAITH THE BALTI-
MORE COUNCIL?

la late issues of the Western
Waterman of ST. Louis we notice
that the venerable and versatile
editor, Father Phelan, who is a
great reformer and an advocate
of new ideas, has entered the lists
to do battle against the clerical
short coat. In his championship
Of clerical decorum in dress he
adduces many reasons for the
elimination Of the short coat as
part of a priest s wardrobe.
We are in hearty accord with
him as far as the object he seeks
to attain is concerned. But we
would suggest that, instead of the
reasons he alleges for discarding
the short ceat worn by the priests
against whom he has turned his
editorial batteries, he print and
comment on the decree of the
Third Plenary Council of Balti-
more in regard to this important
matter, decree, by the way,
which seems to be overlooked en-
tirely in the vicinity of his sane
tum, if we are to judge by the
structures made by the Western
Waterman on the clergy of that
locality. The decree is as follows
"Cum foras prodeunt (clerici)
muneris vel animi recreandi causa
vel in itinere, breviori quadam
veste indui licet, quae tamen nigri
coloris sit ct ad genua producatur,
tia ut a laicis distingui possint
Elegantiores vestium formas ct
mundanas quae novae in dies
inveniunter respuant. - (Caput
Wilde Vita ct Honestate Cler-
icorum.
This announcement is suff1ci-
emily explicit to satisfy the needs
Of the case. The observance of it
by the clergy will do away with
the abuse which the editor of the
Western Waterman makes the
object of his righteous indigna-
ton.
Father Phelan must not mag
inc, however, that the abuse of
which he complains is widespread
in America. The foregoing legis-
lation Of the Baltimore Council is
far from being a dead letter in
parts Of the country not so remote
from the home of the Western
Waterman. But, in as much as it
seems to be unknown or forgotten
in that locality, had he not better
give it publicity? Insistence upon
it's provisions will do more to
remedy the abuse of which he
rightly complains than whole
pages of paternal admonitions
such as he gives to the youthful
offenders against clerical propri-
ETY. in dress, who parade their
abbreviated coats in public, to the
scandal Of the dignifed laity.

OUR HoNoRED PRESIDENT.

Next Tuesday, March 4, -Presi-
dent Taft retires from his posi-
ton as Chief Executive Of this
Republic. He goes out Of office
with the respect of all Americans,
even Of those who have been his
political opponents.
As we pass in review his official
life it may be said with truth that
he was worthy Of the honors
shown him as President of the
United States. He was most con-
scientious in the discharge of his
official duties, upright and indie
pendent in his determination to
do what was right, careless, even
to a fault, of what judgment the
public might pass upon him. No
one came near him who did not
respect and love him. He was the
soul of honor and official integ-
rity. His misfortune was that he
was too good for American poll
tics. He never knew, for he could
not learn, how to play the game
as it is played today.
Catholics, in particular, have
reason to remember and to revere
him. He showed them no favors
because of their religion, and they
asked none merely on that &C
count. But he gave them all they
deserved as American citizens,
without the shadow Of bias or
prejudice, for, from that he was
entirely free.
They will always remember
with sentiments of gratitude his
courtliness of manner and digni-
fed bearing before the Papal
Court when, as Governor of the
Philippines, he was commissioned
to go to Rome to confer with His
Holiness Leo XIII in regard to
matters affecting the welfare of
the Church in the Philippines Is
lands. He himself often declared
that he brought back with him the
most cherished memories of that
visit to the Holy Father. What
he accomplished on behalf of the
Church in the Philippine Islands
is matter Of history.
The fortunes of politics have de-
creed that he must now retire. to
private life; but his administra-
ton of the affairs of the nation
will always be bright page in the
history of America, and his per-
sonal character will always stand
out as above reproach.
Up to the last moment of his
administration he worked for
what he considered the best inter-
ests of the American people. This
was shown in his outspoken op-
position to Intervention in the
affairs of Mexico, his vetoing of
the Immigration Bill on account
of the injustice it would work to
a large class of prospective i'm
migrants, and his strong pro-
nouncement on the question of
independence for the Filipinos
who, he did not hesitate to saw.
are, as yet, incapable of self-gov-
eminent.

A GREAT DEAL TO ANSWER FOR.

The man of family who uses intoxi-
eating liquor every day and who
sometimes gets drunk, has a great
deal to answer for, says the Catholic
Columbian.
First of all, he offends God. Next
he grieves his wife. Then he scan
dalizes his children and sets a had
example for his sons. He shames his
friends. He exerts an evil influence
among his acquaintance. He breaks
down his own health. He wastes his
money.
II he spends only rs cents day,
see what heavy tax liquor lays on
him.
The trouble for such a man, whein
he thinks of reforming is that the
craving for stimulants grows stronger
and stronger. It becomes more and
more difficult to resist. It fights to
drag him down, down, down, to the
very depths Of degradation.
A firm purpose Of amendment, per-
sistent prayer, the Sacraments, a
tonic, recreation, plenty of nourishing
food, and an abundance OF pure water,
will aid him to throw on the yoke Of
the demon of drink. Then he must
avoid the occasions of intoxication-
the saloon, the treat of friends, the
bottle at home. There are other ways
of enjoyment-books, music, athletic
sports, an innocent game Of cards, or
chess, or checkers, an evening at his
society's meeting-hall, a visit to an
acquaintance, good play at theater,
ETC., etc. There are hundred and one
ways of harmless diversion.
What different home he would
have, if he would ''brace up" and be-,
come temperate! The tears Of his
wife would give place to smiles. The
anguish of his children at seeing him
come staggering in would be forgotten
in the joyful welcome they would give
him when restored to bis own best self.
Peace would come to his soul. Hope
and ambition would revive. A new
man, with a new life, would appear.

THE ANNUAL COMMUNION

The time for the fulflment OF
the preceDt of the Church regard
ing the Easter duty opened on the
first Sunday of Lent and closes
on Trinity Sunday. During this
interval all Catholics who have
attained the use Of reason are
commanded, under penalty Of
grievous sin. to receive Holy Com
munion. The Church insists SO
much on the fulflment Of this
precept that she disowns those
who refuse to obey and declares
them unworthy Of Christian bur-
ial.
This precept binds not only
those who are in good health, but
even the sick, the aged and the in
