Over Race Which Red
Sox Are utting Up
Against His Champions.

CHICAGO, H., Sept 2A-Connle Mack
will send his players to battle today with
the club which has always given the
| champions a fight. There has never been
a time in recent years when the Mack
men were able TO predict with any degree
or certainty a victory over the White sox
! Harry Davis remarked that the chief rea-
| son for this was that the grounds at
| Comiskey Park had peculiar effect on
| the playing Of the Athletics. first, because
| Of the soft infield and secondly, because
Of the direction of the sun with reference
to the playing field. as IT is different from
any other diamond IN tho league.
Despite these things, Mack is deter
mined that his men shall win He is not
doing any vast amount of worrying over
the result, but he wants IN get the race
over Mt the earliest possible date in order
to give his menN time to recuperate from
the seasons s long strain before the series
begin,
To-day the Athletics have a lead Of Sig
games, one-half Of a game less than the
advantage enjoyed by their National
League rivals from Boston. Nevertheless.
the Mackmen feel that this Is moro than
an ample distance ahead of tho Red SpA.
There is n queer argument which has
been put up i'm Boston referring to the
relative strength IF the Red SoN and
Athletics The Hub followers claim that
because the Red SoX have won the ma
iority of the games played against tho
Athletics this year they should win the
pennant.

GUNNERS SEEK LICENSES
Registration Likely to be Heaviest in
Years, is Report.

II is expected that the registration of
Pennsylvania hunters for 19li-l9l5 will
rival that Of last year. when approxi-
mately 100000 hunters took out the
papers required to permit them to hunt.
III addition it is estimated that moro
than 100000 farmers. their families or
their tenants hunted on their owN lands
last year, taking advantage of the pro-
vision in the law enabling them to do
so without being licensed. The estimates
are being based upon reports made Of
the sale Of licenses which is stated to
have been heavy in a number of couu-
tics where the demand was light at this
time last year. II is expected that there
will be brick demand for licenses early
in October.

AMUSE M ENTS.
Boston Grand Opera Singers.

The prevalent idea that the coming
engagement of a big aggregation of
Boston Grand Opera Stars at the Coli
scum. Wednesday evening, June 5,
will appeal only to music lovers is en-
tirely wrong. True the genuine lover
of great music will reap the greatest
enjoyment, but so many novelties will
be offered at this engagement that the
average theatergoer, whether music
lover or not. will find in it a most de-
lightful evenings entertainment,
1t does not require any great love
for music to revel in the sight of
beautiful Grecian-cl maidens whirl-
ing through the maiZes of classical
dance. Yet that is one of the numbers
on the remarkably varied program.
The young ladies are all solo dancers
from the Boston Opera House, which
is noted for the beauty of the members
of it's ballet. They make during their
number three changes of costume, each
more gorgeous than the preceding,
presenting in turn, the wonderful
Dance of the Hours" from Gioconda,
Copelia and Silvia.
It certainly does not require a de-
voice of music to appreciate the sing
ing of THE Rosary" as it will be sung
by that greatest of all bassos, Edgar
Littleton. nor THE Last Rose of Sum
mer" by Nine. Maria DiGabbi. Neither
is a music lover the only one who can
enjoy Giovanni Gatti's magnificent
rendition of Because"
OF course there will be opera and
plenty of it. There will be eight big
arias and ensemble numbers, including
the Duet from Fora del 6estino"
made famous by Caruso and Scott,
the great Duet from Andre Chenier.
And there will be whole act of Mar
tina. This will be sung with costumes
and scenery in English.-Adv.

WAR CANOE CREW RACE
WON BY "BLUE" GIRLS

Boston, Mass, June 2.-Cheered by
hundreds of friends and FELLOWSHIP
dents, the two war canoe crews of La
sell Seminary yesterday engaged in
their annual contest for supremacy on
the Charles river, the Blue crew win
ming out by nearly three lengths in

while at the latter point, the seniors
in cap and gown, and girls and their
