Today it will undoubtedly be Mathew
son and Plank. There is no doubt that
both Mack and McGraw played their
trump cards yesterday when they USED
Bender and Vanguard, respectively, yet
both were hit hard, and unless the other
pitchers slated to be used in the series
show to better advantage there are going
to be lot of runs scored in these games.
Let the pitching be equal and the Ath-
letics will win the series by healtny
margin because there is not the sligntest
doubt that 1t is much stronger team
than the Giants. But it Is the pitching
which furnishes the problem. McGraw,
on the face of it, seems to be better fortified
than his rival, who really appears to
have but two seasoned twirlers. Bender
and Plank. while McGraw has Marquard,
MathewsOn, Demaree and Tesreau, ano
the latter looked as If he would prove
troublesome. judging by the few innings
he pitched yesterday.
But when it comes to hitting, fielding
and playing the game. the Athletlcs nave
something on the McGrawites and that
advantage may decide the series at the
finish.
Right now there Is some speculation as
to how good Plank will prove himself
1t is not revealing secret to say that
the Athletics, Mack included, believed that
Bender was as good as ever yesterday
and yet he was hit safely eleven times.
So if Plank is not better than Bender
proved himself he is apt to have hard
time landing the second game.
Judged on the way he started. this is
going to be a wonderful series for Eddie
Collins. He may even surpass his re-
markable record in the games with the
Cubs in 1910, and has already done more
i'm the one game than he did in all the
games against the Giants a couple OF
years ago. 1t was Collins who led his
team in the attack yesterday He was
starting everything done extensively and he
was In the thickest OF every. effort to
stop the advance of the Giants. He hit

every man who faced him during the
first three innings. The experience may
improve Bender, but that Is doubtful.
It Is the judgment Of most base ball
men familiar with conditions in the
American League that Bush is the only
one of Mack's pitchers who stands a
chance to beat the Giants, and Mack
may decide today to find out where he
stands so far as Bush is concerned.
Tesreau looked better than any pitch
er who worked during the game. He

Red Murray, who in the series of 1911
failed to get hit off any of the Mack
pitchers, has started out as if he in
tended to make up lost ground in tho
present series. He got two hits off Ben
der yesterday, and he looked rather i'm
pressfve at the bat on the other occa-
sions. Merkle. another supposedly weak
hitter. also helped himself to a couple.

later when Strunk hit to Marquard, ana
Baker was caught between second ana

Barry Good in the Pinch.
Barry. as usual, was not found want
ing in a pinch, and he hit for two bases
down the left foul line, sending Strunk
to third Then it was that Shafer made
his poor play. Schang hit long fly to
right center. Shafer played the ball
poorly and it scared over his head. He
made a desperate effort to spear 1T with
one hand, but it eluded him and the
two runners scored when Schang
reached third. He was left there while
Bender was being retired at first.
Marquard seemed to have recovered en-
tirely from this upset, for he easily
tossed out Murphy and Oldrfng In the
fifth But he could not get them over
for Collins and the latter walked. He also
stole second, when Meyers throw was
just wide enough to pull Doyle away
from the bag, and he roInped home IN
good spirits when Baker drove the pan
into the right field stands. 1t was a ter
rife drive. Marquard had strike and
ball on him when he tried to fool the
sIugger with curve ball. He seemed to
anticipate what was coming, set MN
self and then took that characteristic
swing which has SO often broken up ball
games. There was resounding whack
and the ball was seen on its way to the
stands
But there was still some fight left in
the Giants and they proved this to Ben
der's satisfaction I'm the last half of the
inning. Merkle hit the first. ball pitched
for single to right. Mccormick was
sent to bat for Marquard and he came
through by hitting the first ball pitched
to right for another hit, which sent Mer-
kle, all the way to third. This was a
ticklish situation for Bender and it is a
question whether any other infield could
have come to his rescue as did his.
Fletcher hit a sharp grounder toward
short. Barry came in on the run. picked
up the ball and shot It, without steadying
himself, to second. 1t was necessary for
Collins to reach far out to make the
catch. 1t drew him off his balance. but
he held the ball and without looking
sent it to first. 1t was a wide throw, but
McInnis made star play of it and the
last gasp of the Giants was over.
Collins Lays Down Blunt.
Collins, who, more than any one else,
was responsible for the runs the Athletics
had scored. was not yet satisfied when he
came up in the eighth, so he laid down
bunt which he beat to first base, Gran
dali being unable to reach the bag in
time to make the play. The hit and run

WoOLEN MEN ARGUE FOR
 THE PRESENT TARIFF.
Say Reduction of Duty on Wooien
 Goods Will Mean Lower Wages.

Washington, Jan. 37.-Protectionists and tariff revisionists had a running fire in the house ways and means com mittee which was continued through out the day. The wool tariff was the issue, and the manufacturers presented an almost unbroken alignment against reduction of duty on woolen cloth and ready made clothing, though favoring reduction of the duty on raw wool.
 It was the most strenuous fight made at this session of congress against the democratic plan for revision of the du- ties in the coming extra sesssion.
 Your schedule has never been cut in the memory of living men," suggest ed Representative Palmer of Pennsyl- vania to O. M. Stafford, president of a Cleveland enterprise. MT. Stafford con tended that the tariff could be reduced in the event the democratic party chose to take the responsibility for a possi- ble reduction of wages of the woolen mill employees. The witness testified to 8 per cent. dividends from his mill last year, and Representative Harrison of New York suggested that it was rather for him in view of the big profits to hold out threat of wage re- duction.

MORE WINDOW BREAKING
 BY HOTEL STRIKERS.
Mass Meeting of 1900 Walters Votes
 to Continue Strike.

New York, Jan. 27-Following a day of quiet during which hotel managers declared that the walters strike had been broken and that 200 walters who originally joined the movement had applied for reinstatement, a crowd of 1,500 walters in mass meeting early tonight voted unanimously to contin- ue the strike until their demands had been granted. Hardly had the result of the vote been announced before the strikers left the hall and began a demonstration in the hotel district. At union headquarters more than a hun dred walters and hotel workers joined the marchers.
 At the Hotel Imperial the strikers halred for moment and several win dowS were broken with stones before the police guard charged into the crowd, which stampeded toward union headquarters. The mass meeting at which it was voted to continue the strike. it was reported, had been call ed by the executive committee of the International Hotel Workers union to urge the walters to call the strike off, but the vote was taken before such an action could even be preached
 A statement was issued from union headquarters tonight ordering all strikino walters to report there to- morrow morning for strike duty as- signments. The order stated that all who failed to report would be under suspicion"

TO ERECT STANDS FOR THE
 INAUGURATION CEREMONIES
Resolution Authorizing 1t Is Now Be-
 fore the President.

Washington, Jan. 27.-Only the sig nature of President Taft is now needed to the resolution of congress author izing the inaugural committee to erect head wires or cOnduitS for special =il luminations and borrow flags and en- signs from the war and navy depart ments to carry out it's plan for the ceremonies incident to the inaugura ton of President-elect Wilson.
 The resolution passed the senate to- day and already had been approved by the house.
 As passed, the resolution contained no amendment as requested by a del egation of woman suffrage advocates for the erection of a special stand be used in connection with the suffrage parade March 3. Senator Sutherland said he had been instructed to report the resolution with such an amend ment unless satisfactory ara ngenaents could be made between the SuITraSistS, the war department and the inaug- ural committee. He announced that, according to letters he had received, no objection would be raised by the war department and Chairman Eustis posed stand. Suffragist leaders ex- pressed themselves as well pleased with the result of their fight.
 The Wilson club of Trenton, N. J., is to have a post of honor in the parade as the '7originaI Wilson club'' hcia1s. The Wilson club of Staun- ton, Va, the president elects birth place. was a contender for this honor but it has been found that many of the members of the club are to march in the parade as members of military organizations of Virginia and that the club will not enter the parade as an organization.

Allies Note to
 Turks Is Brief
PLENIPoTENTIARiES WILL EEK
 ANIME IT TODAY
NOT YET SUBMITTED
Says Attitude of Turkey Leaves No Alternative Than to Break Off Me-
 gotiations-sussests New Proposals.

London, Jan. 27.-The special com mittee appointed by the Balkan pleni- potentiaries drafted a note today noti- flying the Turkish plenipotentiaries peace negotiations The note was not submitted to the Balkan delegations, which held no meeting today. Instead the delegates gave luncheon in cele- bration of the saint day of Saba, the patron saint of the orthodox church. This was attended by several of the military members of the delegations who are leaving London to rejoin the armies in expectation of a resumption of hostilities.
 Note is Very Brief.
 The note as drafted is very brief. It reminds the Turks that since January 6 the sittings of the peace conference have been suspended, without Turkey making any move towards their re- sumption, while the events which have occurred in Constantinople are the best proof that Turkeys answer to the demands of the allies concerning Adri- anople and the Aegean Islands will be negative.
 To Give Luncheon to Delegates.
 On this account, unless the Turkish delegation has fresh proposals to make, the note points out the allies see no alternative but definitely to break off the negotiations.
 The Servian ex-premier, M. Nova.ko- witch, will give a luncheon on Tues day in honor of the other delegations, after which a meeting will be held for the purpose of examining the note. Thus another day will be gained before facing the question of re-orening the war.
 "Obstinacy of Allies.
 Rechad Pasha, head of the Turkish delegation, in an interview tonight said that he deeply regretted the obstinacy of the allies. which he declared was not only against Turkeys, but against their own true interests.

New York, Jan. 27.-The eastern railroad managers tonight said they had received no intimation that their ooaeiliatory statement issued yester- day had stopped the strike vote being taken by their fremen. Tonights statement, signed by Elisha Lee chairman of the conference commit tee, said:
 The men are continuing their vote to determine whether or not to strike The railroads concede that the vote will be favorable to striking. A strike means that practically every railroad east of the Mississippi and north of Virginia will be tied up"
 r The statement said that instructions to the various lodges sent out by the 6remen's committee contained this paragra ph:
 Under no circumstances should any person voting be told that there is no danger of a strike for it is expected that every man will vote just as he intends to act. If he does not expect to leave the service of the company, if necessary. he should not deceive the officers of the brotherhood by voting Yes

England Threatened by Most Serious Outbreak of Militant Women It Has Yet Experienced Believe They Have Been Ircked by Government by Dropping of Franchise BlI-2O0O Policemen Duty Last Night.

London, Jan. 27.-England is the brink of another campaign by the suf- fragettes in comparison with which former outbreaks of the militant won- 2,000 policemen were engaged in dis persing the huge crowds around the parliament buildings, shopkeepers were boarding up show windows, and excited women were making incendi- ary speeches in several halls.
 Think They Have Been Tricked.
 The women believe that the politi- clans have played. carefully studied trick upon them, and the decision of the government to drop the franchise bill is likely to lead to serious conse- quences.
 In the house of commons today the speaker. the Right Hon. James Will liam Lowther, in response to an in quiry by the prime minister, announc- ed that if any of the amendments to the franchise bill giving women the vote should be adopted he would be obliged to rule that they made it sub- stantiaNy new bill which would cont pei it's withdrawal.
 Police Kept Busy
 MT Asquith thereupon announced that the cabinet decided under such circumstances that it would be useless to proceed. This decision was taken in a crowded house, which displayed more interest in the subject than had been shown in the last stages of the home rule bill.
 In the meantime police in great num- bers, mounted and afoot were having difficulties outside the buildings to keep the vast crowds in check, while reserve forces stationed in courtyards in the vicinity of parliament were held in readiness to check disorders of a more serious nature.

HALF A MONTH OF PARCEL POST Saved Money to Shippers and Has
 Proved No Hardship to Employees.

Washington, Jan. 27.--Not only has the parcel post saved the people of the United States in the first fifteen days of it's existence more than a half mill lion dollars, according to Senator Bourne, author of the law, but it has not proved a hardship to postoff1ce employees. Senator Bourne announced today that reports from 45 leading cities of the country, which produce almost half of the postal revenues, showed that during the 12 working days between Jan. 1 and 15 total of 5,094,0 OPT outgoing parcels were des- patched at cost of s395, 286, or about TT cents a parcel
 Under postage rates previously in force, one cent per ounce.' said the senator, 'tthe postage would have been an average of IS 1-2 cents per parcel or a total of $942. .394.9s thus showing a saving to shippers of $547, ,508.12 on 12 days business. It should also be remembered that the usual minimum charge of express companies is 25 cents per parcel, whereas the average charge on the parcel post packages was only TT cents.''

 My Dear Professor Fisher:
 Your letter of this date is just re- ce1Ved. Even after consideration of your explanation of your position I find it difficult to believe that anyone with a just appreciation of the work which the churches have done and are doing for theN religious and moral life of the community should seriously pro- pose the closing of the churches as a temporary experiment.
 T am constrained to the conviction that your attitude in the matter is so far out of harmony with the sDirit of the college which, though no wise a Sectar1an, is and always has been pro- foundly in sympathy with the Chris tan churches, that your continuance in your present official position is unde-

But my iudgrnent is no needed, and it might be biased. I am, however free enough from preju- dice to see very clearly that a college with the history and the constituency and the support of Wesleyan is not exactly the place for a man who holds such views as mine and who cannot suppress them.
