sent asking that Ode1 be brought to
her mother Immediately, but this was
ignored. On May %, 1915, the moth
er says she sent $3.50 for the child's
Carfare out of the little money she 4
earned, but still Odel was not re-
turned to her.
In June, 1915, growing desperate
for sight Of her baby, she asked her
brOther-in-law, Otto GeTken, to come
to Chicago and get the child, but he
was not able to obtain her from Mrs.
Leu. &
Then the mother borrowed money
to come to Chicago and tried to get
her baby, finally appealing to the
Legal Aid Society to help her. K
A petition for a writ of habeasa
corpus was filed and the writ issued.
On June Is the matter was brought
before Judge Jesse A. Baldwin and
evidence heard in the case. rs
Mr.. and Mrs. Leu said they had
grown to love Odeu as their own
child and they had believed they were
to be permitted to keep her. Mrs.
COppage recited the arrangement she
claimed to have had when she per-
mitted Odeu to come to Chicago to-
her aunt and said that she earned.
$5.40 a week herself that she re=I
ceiVed So weekly from the estate of
her grandmother, and that an uncle7
who earns $40 a month was going
to live with her, so that she would be-
able to take care of both her chill
dTen in a humble way, and she de-,
manded that her baby girl should bsd
given to her. liz
Odell, who is at the age when heTV
friendship can be won with a stick of
candy, when asked who she pre-
ferred to live with said she would
rather stay with her aunt because
mother sometimes didn't have
things to eat" and Judge Baldwin
continued the case until July Is, per-

WHO HAS MORAL RIGHT TO THIS CHILD-POOR
MOTHER OR WELL-TO DO RELATIVES?

MOTHER OR WELL
BY JANE WHITAKER
Who has the moral right to a child
the mother who brought it into the
world, though she may now be in
very humble circumstances, or the
wOuld-be foster parents who are able
to supply the child with every COM
fort and some luxuTies?
Which should be given the greater
cOnsideratiOn-the longing of moth
er love, sung through the ages as the
greatest and purest and best of all
love, or the future of the child which
may be made brighter through the
advantages it receives in childhood?
This is a problem in the chancery
court in the case of Mrs. Annie Cop
page Of st. Louis, Mo-, against Louis
Leu and Charlotte Leu, 24O9 W. 56th
st., Chicago.
Mrs. COppage, the mother Of the
child, married James COppage in
1900, and has two children, Hazel,
IA, and Odel, II. She claims that
in 1911 her husband deserted her,
leaving her with almost no means OF
support and she was compelled to go
to work to provide a very meager
living for herself and two children.
In October, 1913, she says Mrs. Leu,
an aunt of the children, offered to
send Oden to school in Chicago and
provide for the child until such time
as the mother felt she could take bet
ter care of her, and it was the under
standing that Ode1 should spend her
holidays with her mother.
The first holiday came in June,
1914, and the mother waited for her
baby girl to come home to her, but
the entire summer was spent in an
exchange of correspondence as to
whether the child should be sent to
st. Louis or the mother should come
to Chicago and visit her, and it had

There are two reasons. One is Gro yer Alexander. The other is that the Phns. playing on their own cigar box park. have a bis edge on all oppo nents.
 The right field fence and the left field bloachers in the Phil park arc not as far from home plate as they are in regular mansized parks. Balls that go over the fence and into the bleachers for homers would be caught on regular fields.
 The Phil team is built to ilt Che park. Cravath, Luderus, Niehol and most of the other Phils are bis men and can hit the ball 9 mile. They are just the kind of swatters needed to drop long nios over the fence and in- to the bleachers for circuit trips.
 Besides that, the Phil players have
 trained themselves to hit to right field. They have drilled themselves to aim for the short right field fence .Cravath and Niehoff. right hand bat ters would naturally bit into left field and SO would Bancroft the little short stop, but they have practced until they can hit 1t a mile into right
 Luderus. Becker, left hand hitters naturally hit into right field and they have laid some nice games on the shelf for Che Phils this year with drives over Che short fence.
 Other teams play most of their games on big fields md have not trained for hitting to certain spot SO they are not as expert os the Phils in plugging the home-run target.
 If it should happen that the ofiic ials in charge of ther series should agree that the Phils park is too small to hold the crowds and they should have the Philadelphia end of the ser ies played in Che big American League park in Philadelphia ] would pick Bos ton to win. despite Alexander.
 Tho Red Sox have shown they can win ball games on big fields The Phns on the other hand have done nearly as well on the road as they have done at home, which means that if the PhHs arc put on a big field the long flies bit by their long hitters so into the hands of the outfieIdcrs instead of over the fence or into the bleachers for homo runs. The Philly team is the only one In the National League. according to my dope, that can beat the Red sox And the Phils can beat any other team in the Amer lem.

 The annual baseball classic tho worlds series starts tomorrow in Philadelphia. with the Philadelphia Nationals and the Boston Americans, winners of the pennant in their re- spectiye leagies, arrayed against eaoh other
 or the Red sox, the eligible iiat shows that eleven of the players this year helped win the worlds pennant for the Red Sox in 1912. whom che New York Giants were on the losing end.
 On paper, the sox look to loo the hardesthitling combination of the two teams. Their pitchers have been the surprise of organized baseball, owing to their hitting. and this is @ factor which may count largely during tho series. Tho Sox are, as Iris Speaker says, @ well-balanced unit.
 On tho other hand Pat Moran's war riors from Quakerviiie look lilSe @ good bet. Alexander Mayer, Rixey, McQuillan and Demaree, the first string pitchers. arc a nifty combina- ton. and it IS believed that Alexander the Great win twirl two and possibly three of the games. The big fellow is fit as Q fiddle. and is anxious to pitch three of the games, he has said. The Phils have some siuggers, too, who include Gabby Cravath, the home run demon, Fred Luderus.

 For the two former dances are to step aside-not ol into the wings, mind you but just aside-thIs winter, and, fl yon are to be most dancingly up to date. you must say:
 "Do you Lorraine?" or DO you Riveria?" instead of just plain Let's ono-step"
 Here Are Che New Ones.
 A Chicago dancing master has mail ed cards announcing these dances de luxe" and which are to be danced this winter. and one Of them has reached Juneau He describes the dances thusly;
 BILLY BURKE-Probably the most interesting dance presented and des- tined to a popularity equal to its gra- cious namesake. Waltz or one-step mu- sic
 ALSACE-Engaging rather novel. Waltz music
 LORRAINE-A delightful dance, leaning a little to the old glissade. Waltz music.
 RIvERIA-Attractive to dancers having some Knowledge of tango steps. Fox-trot and tango music.

 Whether the Aisace and the LOT raine are to be danced after the Ger man or French style the dancing in- structor does not announce.

cert its driver by striking the car and
