Taking two out of three games from
the Giants, Stallings played his three
aces, Rudolph, Tyler and James,
against McGraw What he is holding
as kicker will be demonstrated dur
ing the series starting today with the
Phillies. McGraw pinned his final
hope on Marquard yesterday but the
Rube showed that though he may be
a fine actor, he isn't going to be much
satisfaction to ball team fighting
for its pennant existence The defeat
marked Marquard's eighth consecu-

to remove any lingering doubts that
the founding of the city was in any
way connected with the landing of the
Pilgrims or the discovery Of the elab-

The Giants today fell back upon
their first line of defenses at the
Polo grounds. Entirely relieved Of
all responsibility of leading the Ma
tional league race by George Stallings
and his Boston Braves, Manager Nc

The total from the above is less

as the tidy share which went into

This year each clubs share will be

have noticed in the press that January

days by the National Child Labor Com
mittee and hat the public is to be edu-
Gated as to the need. for further work
looking to. the abolition of evils con-
nected with child labor.
Being contributor to the various
organizations whose efforts have been
devoted for years to this cause | was
shocked to read recently the following
statement. alleged to have been made by
Miss Florence Kelley at meeting OF the
International Child Welfare League:
The great amount Of money expended and
the work carried on for many years to guard
the child through state interference has re-
suited In so little ~ consequence that those
who have given their time and money TO
that work might Just as well have spent the
time In reading French novels.
That one who has been So long identi-
fed with the cause Miss Kelley should
make such a sweeping statement and no
one should protest is certainly very dis
couragIng to the large body OF men and
women who have been contributing to
the National Child Labor Committee and
subsidiary bodies on the strength of re-
ports that great work had been accom-
plished.
II all this effort and money have been
spent to no avail in securing the great
number OF good laws, and II all the off,
cial reports showing more and better
enforcement Of the laws are to be treated
simply as SO much Misrepresentation.
then ! think 1t is the duty of men like
DR. Felix Adler, the chairman of the
National child Labor Committee; v.
Evcrit Macy its treasurer, and Of the
trustees. including Robert w. de Forest
+. T. Devine Jane adams, Homer Folks,
Samuel McCunc Lindsay, Isaac y. Selig-
man, Lillian Valid and Paul Warburg. to
see that our money is refunded ar to
cease all further solicitation for funds. or
thoroughly and effectively 10 repudiate
the statements made by Miss Kelley. So
far | have not seen Il word in protest
from any OF these people, nor have |
seen any disavowal OF the statement By

To any one who will read with sharp
