PROBABLE BATTING ORDER IN
WORLD SERIES OPENING

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. s.-Many interest
ing complications which have set IN
within the paS forty-elght hours. among
them the feud between George Stallings
and Connie Mack, promise to make to-
morrow's opening battle OF the 1914
worlds championship series between the
Braves and Athletics one OF the most bit
terly fought in all baseball history. Each
team fairly worshps its leader and each
will go onto the field prepared to risk
line and limb to exonerate its chief In the
eyes OF the sporting public.
But throughout all the bitterness and
acrimony OF the chickering's Of the leaders
the great following OF the national game,
oongregated here from every nook and
Granny OF the republic, has not lost sight
for one moment OF the main Issue IN
questionable supremacy OF tho respec-
tive teams on the field OF play. Until
that potent matter is decided definitely
the fan may egg on the belligerents and
curse the ticlopt spectators. but. never
theless he will keep his weather eye
peeled for an opportunity TO witness the
all absorhApg struggles as governed
strictly by National Commission rules.
According to Forecaster Bliss there Is
n low pressure area with accompanying
rains moving eastward. and II should
reach Philadelphia tomorrow morning. II
IL does prospects for several rainy days
are good for with a six week drought the
change In weather probably will mean n
long term Of wet and stormy weather.
The weather Indications for tomorrow
are far from encouraging.

SETTING OF OLD HYMNS TO NEW
 TUNES DEPLORED
Bishop Osborne Speaks at Meeting of Synod of Fifth Province of the
 Episcopal Church in Detroit

Letroit. October 14.-Setting the old time hymns to tunes that savor cf modern music halls such as Yankee Doodle" was deplored by Bishop Ed ward w. Osborne of Springfield, Ill, at meeting here today of the synod of the fifth province of the Protestant Episcopal church in the United States Bishop Osbornes remarks were made during debate on the adoption of the report of a commission appointed to prepare the publication of an ex- pensive selection of Sunday school hymns.
 q want to be assured that none of these hymns will have irreverent tunes" said Bishop Osborne. T notice that Jerusalem the Golden is among the hymns listed I have heard that hymn sung to a tune that is most ir- revei ent that sounded like Yankee Duodle' The latter is all right in it's place, but it's place is not in the church of God"
 It was explained that most of the hy mns had been auth orized by more than 50 years of use in the church an1 report was adopted.

He was determined not to kiss her and looked as sour and solemn as possible.
 You've got to kiss me, Jack,' she said.
 Do you want us to be taken for an 'Arry and Arriet?'" he demanded.
 II don't care two straws what we are taken for" said the lady. If you don do as l ask you, you need never return to me-.
 He still pleaded but it was in vain, and the great soldier had to give in. Those who saw the parting said. trag.c us it was in one respect, the mans attitude was so nervous and quaint they could not help smiling. He could face German guns, but the fair of being considered senti- mental flabbergasted him.
 Society here is tremendously excited over the ruinor that Gustav Hamel, the famous young airman, and darling of the smart set, reputed lost in flight across the channel about three months ago, is now moving spirit in the Ger man air fleet. The story goes that his mother has actually acknowledged the truth of the extraordinary statement. If the romance is true Hamel, apart from his splendid, capacities as an aeronaut should prove of the most incalculable use to the Germans because of his knowl- edge of British military, naval and social affairs. Society told him anything and everything he desired to know, his amaz- ing personality and charm conquering al with whom he came into contact. His photographs still hold a prominent place in the boudoirs of fashionable girls from Princess Mary downward, but, of course if the latest of the many stories of tho airman Is true, he soon will be an un' crowned hero, It is, at any rate, q wei known fact that his family here never wore mourning for him.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
WANTS FOREIGNERS BARRED

Editor Day Book;-I wish you
would publish something in your
paper about foreign people immigrat-
ing into our country. It seems you
always hear about how short the
United States is of money. And what
is the reason that money is scarce
and that our American people are so
hard up? Only on account Of these;
same foreigners. There is one thing
sure, and that is that there should
be a strict law prohibiting any for
eigner forwarding money to their ma
tive land. Most of these people send
all the money they earn or can spare
to their relations over the waters.
And every. dollar they send home
makes it just so much harder for US.
The true Americans should all rise
up in one great body and demand
that if a foreigner comes to this
