Rev. A. T.. Oglivie. pastor of the
congregational church, before the
Elkhart Ministerial association Mon
day morning answered the question.
should the Church EspOuse the
Modern Movement for the Greater
Freedom Of Woman 30
The pastor declared that it could
be answered only in the affirmative,
emphasizing the fact that the wom-
an is universally recognized as an
Individual and must be dealt with as
such. She possesses the highest
human function, motherhood. As
neither man or woman but the fam
tly represents the unity of race. the
woman is entitled 10 the same free
dom as man. The speaker also
touched ON the question Of equal
suffrage. which ne asserted was a
part OF the movement.

THE GIANTS C

New York, Sept. 25-The New Yorl
Nationals double victory over the st
Louis club here this afternoon enabled
the Giants to lay claim to a. new ma.
jor league record for. consecutive
games won in one season. At the
completion Of the double-header the
team had won 81 straigt victories,
thus displacing the record of the ia
nous Providence Grays, who won 20
games in a row in 1884.
During the 80 years since Provi-
dence set the 20-game record the fig
ures have been threatened several
times by big league clubs, but never
equaled or surpassed until today. In
1906 the Chicago League club won 10
in a stretch. The New York Giants
ran 10 straight in 1904 and II games
earlier in the present season.
Several minor league clubs have ex-
ceeded these figures, the best records
being ~ games by the Corsicana club
of the Texas League in 1902; rs
games by the Charlotte club Of the
Carolina League in the same year and
"a games by the Jersey City club of
the Eastern League in 1903.
In winning 81 games straight the
Giants actually figured in % games,
because one contest ended in a tie and
was eliminated from consideration in
computing the winning streak. In one
respect, however, the record does not
compare with that of Providence club,
as Pitcher Charley Radbourne twirled
the Grays to victory in 10 out of the
20 games won by his club in the 1884
of conquests.

TIGERS Chance Fading.

All Boston has to do to count De-
tr0iti out Of the pennant race in the
American League is to win two Of
its remaining seven games. As a
result of yesterdays contests the
champions records is 81 won and go
lost, 50 that by winning the trio it
would stand $500, one whole game
behind Boston.
Chicago has a slightly better chance
than Detroit. Including yesterdays
game, Comiskey's men have won SO
and lost GA. Winning their remaining
four games, all of which are with
Cleveland, they would stand 30 won
and ga lost. To beat that Boston
would have to win four Of its seven,
four of which are with New York
and three with Philadelphia.

RACES FOR BATTING HONORS IN
MAJOR LEAGUES.

Three hits in five times at bat Mon
day enabled Cobb to gain two points
on Speaker, the latter hitting but one
in three times, which left his average
unchanged. Twenty points now sep
arate these American League rivals.
Jackson failed to hit in four trials
and lost three points.
Chase was the star of the National
League getting three hits in four trips
to the plate. Wheat did not get a hit
in three times at bat and is being
closely pressed for second place by
Daubert, who made four hits in eight
attempts. Hinchman made three hits
in six time up and took fourth place
from Hornsby, who made but one hit

meeting of the recreation committee
held following a luncheon at the Y.
w. G. \. at 6:15 o'clock Thursday
night, from those Of the members
that attended the convention of
recreation directors held last week
at Grand Rapids.
Four of the members and Recrea-
ton Director +. b. Barnes were
present at the convention and
brought back with them many new
ideas The successes and the fail
ures of other cities along this line
made possible the forming of many
conclusions as to the advisab ility
of adopting such plans locally.
Nine places were laid and the meet
ing lasted until the members found
it necessary to leave TO attend the
public reception 10 the parents at
the high school.
