New News Of Yesterday
A Remarkable Manufac-
turing Coincidence
BY Holland.

The late James Lloyd Green was, in
1874, the Republican candidate for
governor of Connecticut Politics.
however. was only an incident Oh his
career for he was occupied an his
life with the cotton manufacturing I'M
dustry His father had been the first
70 establish cotton mills in eastern
Connecticut and had utilized some
part of the great water power there
for turning his spindles. Under his
direction, cotton manufacturing ia
Eastern Connecticut and in Rhode
island was greatly stimulated and az
one time the name OF Green was as
prominently associated with the I'M
dustry as later We're the names Of
Borden and Sprague
It was while the campaign for his
election as governor was in progress
That ! had opportunity one afternoon
20 have a long talk with Mr.. Green
He seemed not especially interested
in the political campaign. at least 50
lar as his personal relation to II was
concerned Although as he was a
strong partisan, he was anxious that
the Republican party should triumph
Green's conversation turned. that at
ternoon, upon the development Of the
cotton manufacturing industry ia the
United States. He said
= often think OF the remarkable
coincidence which illustrates the be-
ginning OF cotton manufacture in the
United States The more / think
about ii the the more strongly I am
persuaded that It was not a coinci-
denee, but was part OF that great
manifestation OF the destiny Of the
new Union which had been establish
ed only a brief time before the cotton
industry began.
s - have often heard my father
speak Of the manner in which Samuel
Slater established the first cotton fac
tory in the United States. He was an
Engllshman. He brought over. en-
tirely-in his own mind, the plans and
details Of the apparatus which was
used In England for manufacturing
cotton goods Soon after he landed he
found his way to Rhode Island and
there fixed upon some splendid water
power which he said was adequate
for the operation OF a mill which con-
tanned thousand or more spindles
SLATER induced two or three men to
Join with him in building a dam and
setting up a mill which he said he
would equip With the English spin
ming apparatus for he knew how 10
make IT, He did this, and the first
cotton mill IN the United States began
10 operate.
Nov CHS happened just after the
constitution, which made the United
States a nation, was adopted
'Curionsly enough, very soon, after
Samuel Slater set up the first cotton
mill Eli Whitney went TO Georgia, 10
teach school. You know the rest. At
ter a little while Whitney invented
the machine which made Southern cot
ton available, SO that Slater. in Rhode
Island, and Whitney. in Georgia, at
about tho same time. neither knowing
the other, established what for many
years was the greatest manufaassas
ing industry IN this country.
You can call this concident /
call IL a certain demonstration of
what was TO be the manifest destiny
OF the United States both as an agri-
cultural and as a manufacturing ma
ton"

Youth Against Age Wins
Worlds Title for Braves

were the first to score. and although
the Mackmen evened it up, they came
through with two more smashes that
drove in runs.
Today J. Evers. ex-shoeshop man Of
Troy, N. Y. is the greatest man in
the world. Il was his fierce drive
over second base that sent two Braves
scurrying homeward and put the re-
suit beyond doubt. Up to that point
II had been a long series OF question
marks. The Athletics we're hitting
hard for FIVE innings, but always af-
ter the chance to score was gone.
Once they managed to get two hits
together, but sharp work by the
Brave infeld nulled the hits. The
smash of the game was caused by a
runner trying to take two bases. He
made them win, although he never
should have tried TO take two bags
on hit at that stage of the game,
and he was crowded off the bag and
nailed. The other chance that the
Athletics lost was when Walsh, af-
ter seemingly slowing away the game
with a hit, walked into a trap and
was caught off second with no one
out. Evers took the throw with one
hand, showed Il onto the runner and
broke up the battle.
From that play on the Athletics
we're beaten club They showed it
in their every movement and they
went to destruction I'm the same quiet,
constrained way they have won
championships.
There is not an excuse for the Ath-
letics. They were whipped because
they lacked the nerve and fight. They
had as many and even better chances
to win as did the Braves, but the
lighting spirit Of Stallings men car
ried them through to their amazing
victory.
The Athletics simply we're caught
Nat footed; when they tried to get up
speed they were unable to do so and
all the luck and the breaks Of the
game ran sor Boston The Braves
won one game because Stalllngs
switched his batting order, believing
Mack would send a left handed pitch
er against them. In every case in
the four games save in the first, when
Deal happened to be the victim, the
Braves happened TO have the produc-
ing hitters up when hits were reeded.
They won the series by hits made af-
ter two men were out, and Il was
Evers and Gowdy who produced
these hits.
Evers played the most wonderful
ball of his career in this series and
he and Meanwhile were the chief in

Boston simply is insane and the en-

The Athletics and most OF the visit
ors including the New Workers. who
wanted the Athletics to win, are
gone.
Personally we feel as did Tim
Costigan down home when he got
word that John L. Sullivan had been
whipped. He read the dispatch and
bet to / il was wrong. The next
day he read five columns in his fav-
orite daily paper and cut the odds to
even money that John l.. had won,
and he waited until he got the Police
Gazette a week later before he
