Here's a strange case said Mrs. Spot ter to her husband. "A man they called the town fool up in New Hampshire died, and they weighed his brain. It was heavier than the average.
 Is that all it says about him?'

 ''Huh-he was no tool. If you have well-to-do relatives, why use your brains ?p

Matty had been the Unanimous choice
Of his comrades. He felt that it might
be the last worlds series game he ever
would pitch, and he put into bis work
all the cunning and skill that the years
had given him. In those ten innings
he gave everything he had, and it was
a marvellous exhibition Of twirling.
When he entered the box his step
was springy and his head held high.
he looked almost boyish. When he
left the mound after the game it was
with bent head and tagging feet, but
the Boston crowd stood up in the
stands and cheered, not their team,
which had just won the worlds cham
pionsh1p, but the defeated Mathewson.
Hard headed ball players had tears
on their cheeks as they ran to Matty to
throw their arms across his shoulders,
and McGraw hurried across to meet
him from the bench, saying: 1T wasn't
your fault, Matty. You pitched the
greatest game ever saw."-New York

DONOVAN LOOKS FOR
REMNANT NEXT YEAR
BY HAMILTON

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
New York, Oct. 3.-Although the
New York Yankees cannot win pen
nant this year, Bill Donovan, man
ager of the club, is confident and
hopeful for the coming campaign.
And, unlike most managerial cries of
next year." Donovan appears to have
something upon which to base his
claims.
The Yankees probably hold the
major league record for hard luck.
They started the year like world
beaters and then injuries began to
wreck them. Nearly every regular
reason or another. With the team
in first place the stars began to fade
and the descent began. The result
was a bare claim to first division
honors
Nick Cullop, George Mogridge and
Ray Caldwell were of no use to the
club when their services meant the
most. Likewise, Frank Baker was
out of the lineup and his slugging
was sorely missed. Then Lee Ma
gee, Fritz Maisel and Frank Gil
hooley were la i'd up and finally
Hughie High was skidded out Of the
lineup with an injury. About the
only department which hasn't SUI
fered is the catching staff and even
there Leslie Nunamaker was laid off
by sickness for a short time.
If injuries and illness do not over
take the club next year some one
is going to play mighty good base
ball to beat the Yanks out of the
worl's series. The Yankee infleld,
with Pipp at first, Gedeon at Sec
ond, Peckinpaugh at shortstop, and
Baker at third, is one of the best in
the league.
Second base is the weakest posi-
ton of the quartet and Donovan ex-
poets Gedeon to be a. greatly i'm
proved player next spring.
There are no faster outf1elders than
Maisel, Gilhooley and Magee, al
though Donovan is thinking seriously
of placing Maisel at second base next
year. If he does he still has Hen
Dirk and High, two heet-footed fly
chasers to rely upon.
The pitching STAFF is excellent,
with Cullop, Fisher, Mogridge, Shaw
key, Russell and Love to send to the
mound.
Young AL Walters is one of the
greatest catchers in the league, in
Nunamaker is dependable and in Al
spite of his youth and his conceit.
exander the Yanks have the making
of star.
Donovan expects to have reserve
force next year strong enough to fill

HIS GREATEST GAME.

The Climax Of Mathewson's Fame % q
Baseball Pitcher.
We always have believed that the
greatest game that Mathewson ever
pitched was the eighth and deciding
contest between Boston and New York
In the worlds series Of 1912. He
should have shut the Red Sox out in
that battle, but his team faltered and
broke behind him, and Boston finally
won in ten innings by a score Of 3 to 2.

feat. There is no installing the fact
that in 1916 radicalism again threat
ems the Republican party. People in
all walks of life have suffered from
the mistake of 1912. The laboring
man has been thrown out of employ
ment, and, until the abnormal demand
for farm products came as the result
of the European war, the farmer was
suffering from the effects of free
trade, factories were closed, and bust
ness in general demoralized. The con-
structive element in the Republican
party proposes to restore old condi-
tons and offers a plan by which this
can be done The radical element in
the party proposes no solution Of
present conditions. A candidate Will
be selected at the National Conven-
ton representing one or the other #
the types just described. The Issue
must be faced and each voter must
answer the question as to which type
Of candidate he wants, and necessar-
lily, he viii act as his best Judgment
dictates.

Smallpox Scare In Wilmington

Just few words regarding the
smallpox situation in Wilmington. 1t
should be remembered there is not
now, nor has there been an epidemic
of smallpox in Wilmington. The total
number of cases reported to the end
of last week was thirty-one. and of
these several have alraedy been cured.
Much publicity has been given to the
outbreak to impress local citizens that
they should cooperate to prevent the
situation becoming serious in any re-
spect. The medical authorities I'M
animously agree that the precaution-
airy measures We're entirely successful
The health officers, with the assistance
of the police, worked night and day
to maintain the quarantine regua-
tons in every infected section and
effectively checked the spread of the
disease.
Further. it should be remembered
that practically all of the smallpox
patients have been removed to pro-
perly quarantined hospital several
miles from the city. and that this
course was pursued as rapidly as
cases of the disease We're discovered
II cannot De 100 clearly understood
that the stringent measures which
were taken. such as closing the
schools, theatres and saloons We're
precautionary measures only. The
best medical opinion of the city agrees
that with such thorough effort to pre-
vent the further spread of the disease
there should be no hesitancy on the
part of anyone to visit Wilmington at
Ashe present time for the transaction of
asineSS

BOOMING Du POINT
FOR PRESIDENT


teal situation Immediately preceding
the Republican National Convention
at Chicago. 1t is a business mans
movement, with the avowed purpose
to bring about the nomination of
candidate for President who is pri-
marily man whose character and re-
cord will guarantee a business-lille
administration of national affairs.
Behind it, it is said, is a coalition #
the forces that have been advancing
the presidential ambitions of a nuin-
Der of favorite-son candidates. 1t is
not announced definitely just who are
the parties to this combination, bat
the men interested have been con-
trolling factors in successful Repub-
lican campaigns dating back. to 1896,
and they give promise of purpose
and an ability to dominate the coming
convention.
According to these men there has
been enough of tearing down, both in
the Republican party and in govern
ment affairs. Rampant radicalisn,
they say, has unsettled business cor
ditions in the country to a degree I'M
known since free silver threatened
the nations financial stability, and
while it has not destroyed the Repdh-
lican party, it made possible the cleo
ton of minority Democratic Presi-
dent and Democratic Congress. The
widespread distress and disaster that
would have attended this was avert
ed only by the war in Europe, which
gave the United States a market and
prices for certain of its products suffi-
cient to create a semblance of pros
perity. The men who are responsible
for the new political movement have
been looking ahead to the day when
the European confiagration is over
and to the change that it must bring
about Immediately in this country.
They want a national prosperity that
is truly national and based on the

WOMEN AND HER DRESS

The average man Of today is fonc
of criticising the modern garb OF
woman.
We look, we criticise, and we
look again.
But just why we criticise it is
hard TO say, for the dress of the
women of the country is becoming
more sanitary every year.
Those who consider it immodest
should study the fashions in vouge
in the old days, when a palm leaf
fan and a shoestring or fig leaf
was about the extent of feminine
attire, and it was quite without
detriment to their morals.
Let the women alone. They are
mans mental and moral superiors,
and if it pleases them to adopt
styles that appeal to them and yet
are sanitary it is not for us to COM
ment.
They have managed TO hold their
own through all of the changing
styles since the days of Eve, and
undoubtedly they can do the same
today regardless of what the styles
may be.
We have to much glass in our
own houses to be found throwing
stones at our womanhood.
