NEW YORK, Oct. 16.-There
Is a teapot tempest in the art
world today over the artistic mer-
its of the Lincoln statue by
George Gray Barnard, designed
to be presented to the British COM
mittee in charge of the British
American centenary of peace cele-
bration.
The statue is pictured herewith.
By one faction, supported by
Robert T. Lincoln, son of the for
mer president and great amanci-
pator." and also by f. Wellington
Ruckstahl, art cyitic and art edi-
tor, this statue is regarded as a
"monstrous figure" wholly mis-
representing the real dignity and
stateliness of our national hero
because It shows Lincoln press
ing his hands over his stomach as
IL he had the collie
BY a second faction, led by the
sculptor, George Gray Barnard,
and by Charles p. Taft, of the
American cor nmittee on the Gen.
tenary Celebration, the statue is
stoutly defended as truly repre-
senting the unpretentious democ-
racy of which Lincoln was the
prophet.
The British committee had of
fered pedestal facing Westmfn-
ster Abbey as base for the statue
but evidently thought they were
to receive a copy OF the famous
st. Gaudens Lincoln.
Having seen photographs OF the
Barnard statue, they have cabled
the American committee not to
ship X during the war.

Britain had, at the beginning
Of the war, approximately 10000
900 tons of shipping, including
liners and tramps. Her losses to

some 100000 tons have been re-
placed by new construction.

only one more victory to give
them the worlds title, batted out
three runs In the fourth.
New York came back In the
fifth with two runs, when Faber
lost his superb control and began
walking batters. The crowd to-
day, altho not q worlds record,
made up for lack of size by It's un-
usual noise.
Benton was knocked out of the
box in the fifth, and Poll Perritt
replaced him.
I The teams lined mp as follows:
Chicago: j. Collins, rf; Nc

National league; O'Loughlh and
Evans, American league.
Crowd Excited.
The crowd showed its enthus-
iasm more violently today then
in any other game. Every catch
by Giant player, no matter how
easy, was cheered wildly. The
Sox were booed and Kissed when
they went out upon the field.
Eddie Collins got the first hit
of the day. connecting in the first
inning for clean rap to center.
Two men were out, however, and
Jackson made the third with an
easy grounder.
Kauff Fans.
Burns hit the first ball pitched
when he stepped up to bat for the
Giants in the first inning, but IL
was an easy out, e. Collins to
Gandil. Herzog hit a hard one
to left but was held at first by
clever fielding. Benny Kauff dis
appointed the crowd by tanning.
He swung hard.
S0x on Second.
Chicago's second hit came in
the second inning, Gandil singing
Clearly to center after Felsch had
been called out on strikes. Weav-
err went out to Herzog, Gandil
reaching second. Herzog would
have made a double play but he
fumbled the ball. Schalk ground
ed to Zimmerman.
Holkc Doubles.
Schalk made nice play In
the second, fielding Fletcher's
slow grounder on the first base
line and throwing him out at
first. Robertson bounded out to
e. Collins. Holke slammed
double to lett that bounded
against the fence. Rariden
grounded to Collins.
