Giants Start Three-Game Series on

Today will probably break down
the resolution of the remaining fans
who took the pledge never to attend
a game on the West Side again. Their
intentions we're perfectly good, but
the bait of a Cub-Giant combat is too
sweet to be denied.
There is something in the mere
idea of a tangle between these two
clubs that arouses enthusiasm and
brings visions of regular bang-up
fights, with a possible splitting Of gore.

Reports from the training camps of
Willie Richie and Charley White are
to the effect that both battlers are
in perfect condition for their fight to-
morrow night.
White is highly thought of by some
of the local ring fans, but it is hardly
likely he will succeed where VOL
CAST, Cross and Murphy failed.
Some of the usual skeptics are
limiting that Richie may not exert
himself, and will just edge out a YER
dict in order to get another Milwau-
kee match with a heavy purse.
That is an unfair suspicion. This
fight will be as straight as a string,
and a tough battle all the way, with
both men working to the limit Since
winning the championship Richie
has never mixed up in anything
shady.
Willie doesn't have to pull his fights
in order to plant a return engage
ment. He demands exorbitaat purses
in the first place, gets them, and
then proceeds to give an entertain
ment worth the coin.

HOUSEHOLD MARKET
PRICES KEPT DOWN
BY MILD WEATHER
Truck Remains Plentiful,
Prices Are Below Seasonal
Average and Coal Bills
Show Material Decrease.

Philadelphia housewives have more
than one reason for being grateful for
the long-continucd warm weather. They
have not only been enabled to realize a
cuhslderable saving in coal bills, but have
also found that green goods from the
trucls farms have remained plentiful and
ch zap. Even the fish market which
usually sees a marked soaring of prices
with the arrival Of cold weather, still
maintains the summer figures, despite a
growing scarcity of sea bass, blue fish
and butter fish.
Meat prices are about as usual with
the exception of beef. which is slightly
higher than is customary, bringing 30
cents a pound for rib roasts, IS for sir
loin and from 20 to 20 for chuck roasts.
Eggs continue high, bringing from 81 to
40 cents n dozen but 1t is expected that
continued warm weather will see SUBJ
startlal drop In price. Chicken is selling
at % cents for brollers and % for stew
ing, while turkeys, though scarce as yet,
are expected to be plentiful when the
Western markets begin their fall ship
ments. Fruit Is plentiful and of good
quality this year and may be bought at
prices which are lower than usual for
October.
1t is expected that the arrival of cold
weather will see marked increase in
the retail trade at the Dock street mar
kets, where the housewife may obtain
supplies and eliminate considerable part
of the profit realized by the hucksters and
middlelnen OF the uptown markets. That
this method really shows a marked saw

pairing some of the retail prices existing
on Dock street with those prevailing at
the larger markets about the city. This

BRYN MAWR GIRLS
m REVOLT AGAINST
ls PENALTY SYSTEM
President Thomas Vexes
Students by A Abruptly
Leaving Protest Meeting
After Stating Her Case.

e,r.ined relations between Miss NJ,
.c.tev Thomas, president of Bryn Mawr,
and students at the institution over the
-,csnt elimination of the cut system have
h,sn further augmented and brought
a. a practical deadlock because Doctor
rbomss walked from protest meeting
and refused to hear further what the
,ounr women had to say about their
.ide of the controversy. She first stated
,Ser attitude in the matter.
Under the old system of cuts for class
voom and lecture work students were per-
ritted to attend or not as they pleased.
Now, under the new arrangement they
ars penalized for cutting. To this they
serously object, and since the lnaugura-
lion OF the penalties for missing lectures,
little else has been discussed. The girls
feel the attitude of President Thomas was
4 reflection on their self-government or
sanization, and displayed a belief on
ifhe part of the faculty that the students
we're not interested in their work.
large meeting of protest was held
last night. Among the speakers was Miss
Helen Taft daughter of the former
President of the United States The entire
faculty of the college was invited to the
meeting, but President Thomas, it is
understood, let IL be known she would
not attend the meeting IL other members
Of the faculty were present. So the in
yltation previously extended to teachers
was withdrawn and Miss Thomas alone
of all the college officials went TO the
meeting.
Six or more young women, among them
Miss Taft, spoke of the purpose OF the
sssemblage and the objections voiced by
almost the entire student body to the
penalizaton for cuts. Miss Thomas then
spoke. She announced her entire con-
fdence in the students said the new or
do: was for their best interests and then
abruptly left the meeting without wait
Ing to hear further why the young wo-
men objected to the latest regulation or
giving them any satisfaction concerning
her future action in the matter. 1t is
said majority OF the faculty agree with
the students, but hesitate to express an
opinion openly.
fThe arbitrary action of President
Thomas came as a thunder bolt to the
girls gathered at the protest meeting.
They felt sure the president would wait
to hear what they had to say and would
also show a willingness to at least COM
promise in the matter. After the sudden
departure of Doctor Thomas the assemo-
lage came to an abrupt ending.

Johnson confessed and was held in $500

Robbers, who for several weeks have

their guilt. 1t is believed the robberies
will end when the police have succeeded

SHIPPING AGENTS
AT THIS PORT FEAR
REPRISAL BY PILOTS
Many of the Men Said to Be
Incompetent, But Absence
of Control Makes Com
plant Dangerous.

Lack of any adequate control and fear
shipping men for not wanting to oppose
the Pennsylvania and Delaware Pilots
Association. One agent said that to
arouse the ire of the pilots might in
terfere with quick movements and safety
Of vessels and aside from a complaint
ton, which in the end was unavailing,
shipping interests were unprotected.
In explaining the complaint to the Com
missioners of Navigation, the agent said
1--WE find pilots delinquent, physically or
mentally, and occasionally we find them
intoxicated. They are not to be en-
trusted with the care OF our vessels.
We are at times by the force of cir
cumstances compelled to accept these in
competent men. Then we make a COM
plant to the Commissioners of Naviga-
tion. who order an investigation and per-
haps they suspend the man. What hap
pens? The suspension give the man a
vacation. His pay goes on all the same.
THE Pilots Association pools ita earn
ings. and after the expenses are sub
tracted they are divided equally among
the members of the association. A sus-
pended member gets his pay and vaca-
tion. That sort of punishment is more
of an incentive for n pilot to be derelict
in his duties. rather than a warning les
son to him. If the Commissioners of
Navigation would some time revoke IL
censes, never to be renewed, the pilots
might take some cognizanCe of their
power"
Federal supervision of the pilots, some
men feel. would be the solution
of the problem which made the United
States naval authorities enter a COM
plaint against the service on the Della
ware River and Bay
The license to pilot vessel at this har-
Dor is awarded by the States of Penn
