QUESTION OF POPE"
AClTATES CHURCH
Members of Protestant Episc0'
pal Body Divided As To Ad-
instability Of Charge

NEW YORK, Oct 9.-Everything Is
set at the cathedral OF st. John the
Divine. for preliminary debate today
on the question Of "a pope" for the
Protestant Episcopal church. In &C.
cordance with the amendment pro-
posed al the general convention In
1910 was the first order OF business
when the house Of deputies met today.
An acclesiast, although not neces-
sarily called q Pope Is favored by
the high church party, which. II is
understood. will bring forward the
question OF changing the name Of the
church to American Catholic" dur
ing the present convention. The low
church party is bitterly opposed to
such changes.
Delegates today were discussing the
possible strength Of the two factions
as indicated In a vote for the presid-
ing ofhcer Of the house OF deputies.
The vote, 268 to 242, was decisive
victory for the Low church people
inasmuch as they elected their repre-
sentative. the Rev. DR.. Mann, Of Trim
lily church Boston.

Mack Would Run Ninth
Inning Thar Way Again

NEW YORK. Oct 9.-If the follow
ers Of the Athletics wish TO place on
the shoulders Of Connie Mack the re-
sponsibuity Of yesterdays heart
breaking game to Chnsty MathewsOn.
the wizard leader Of the Philadelphia
warrior accepts II. He has no alibi to
offer for permitting Eddie Plank to
bat In that delirious ninth inning.
II would do the same thing tomor-
row II q similar situation came up"
said Mack today.
Four pinch hitters sat on the bench
when Plank walked TO the plate, with
Barry on third. Lapp on hrst and one
out. Mack looked them over. He re-
jected Walsh, Schang and Daley be-
cause none had ever batted against
Marty. Mack knew big Six" was the
greatest pitcher in the world In a
pinch. He turned to Danny Murphy,
but finally decided to let Plank make
the efrort az Murphy II not in good
shape.
Mack also had faith in Plank. left
handed batter. facing q right-handed
pitcher. The Gettysburg veteran has
always batted well against Matty and
earlier In the game had made one sim
gle and smashed out terrific liner
that Fletcher pulled down. But Matty
was performing In his usual pinch
way. He used his fadeaway and drop
curve ON every batter. Lapp. Plank
and Murphy failed to hit beyond the
infeN.
POLO GROUNDS, NEW YORK,
Oct. s.-The mist had lifted slightly.
and II was much lighter at II o'clock.
The sun, however. was hidden by the
overhead fog and the air was heavy
with dampness- Despite all this II
looked good for q game, II there was
no change for the worse.
Cloudy and unsettled with prob
able light rain this afternoon" was
the best that the local weather fore
caster would promise today for the
third game Of the world series.
He said there would be no rain. a
drixzle at the most and perhaps that
might be put OF until late afternoon.

The Cost OF style Changes.

Dispatches from New York a
day or two ago stated that lead
ing millinery ornament firm had
just failed 1t appears that while
their assets are nominally twice
their liabilities, 100000 of their
funds are locked up in hat decor
ations that are gone out Of style,
and would not bring more than
$4,000.
Women groan about the exorbi-
tant prices charged by dressmak-
ers for trimmings. There is rea-
son for these prices, in the risk
dealers take in loading up with ma
terial that may go out of style at
any time.
When merchant stocks up on
transient stuff that is here today
and gone tomorrow, he is like the
provision dealer with his perisha-
BILE fruit. A price must be charg-
ed for the early sales that will pay
the loss on the remnant of the lot
which has to be sacrificed for little
or nothing.
1t is fortunate for family expen-
ses that men are so nearly exempt
from this form of taxation. When
they order they want the latest
style, but the fashions are nearly
