ART CRITICS ARE ASTONISHED OVER A
 13 YEAR OLD GIRL

LONDON, June 27.-London art critics express astonishment over the drawings now being exhibited at the Leicester Galleries by 13- year-old girl, Pamela Bianco. She was born in England and now re- sides in Italy.
 Musical child prodigies, 1t is pointed out, are not uncommon, but it is doubtful whether other instances of such precocity in draw ing as Miss Bianco's are an record. Already, the critics say, she has strongly marked Individuality which is revealed in all her work. A large freize and two large decora- tive female heads are among her pictures on exhibit. Her power of design on a large scale is regarded IS remarkable Another picture of hers is of children's peace cele- bration. and the expression of the children's faces is so good that the experts are amazed.

 RAISING THE RATES

WASHINGTON, June 26-Vice- President Kingsbury of the American Telephone and Telegraph Co., before the House interstate and foreign commerce committee, stated there is no tempation to the Bell Tele- phone people to obtain higher rates than they need. He declared that continuation of present rates for six months would simply be putting off a crisis now confronting telephone interests. He is in favor of present toll rates for immediate future un- til state boards have their say. He said labor under federal control is less efficient than under private operation.

Americas Cup. to be sailed during

The challenge specifically names the

Upton, as its representative. This
yacht, which was sent across the

before the outbreak Of the war, has
been lying in dry dock in Brooklyn
ever since that time. Sir Thomas
Upton saw her there last spring, and
after careful inspection pronounced

The conditions which were to have
governed the contemplated races Of
1914 will probably prevail in the com

ton OF certain minor details to be
arranged by mutual agreement.

BASEBALL LBETTORS
ACTIVE IN CHICAGO

CHICAGO, oct. T.-Taking advan-
tage Of the police, protection given
the great western baseball pool. said
by the gamblers TO have strong back

political leaders. more than q dozen Of
these gambling nets have spread their
web over Chicago.
Attention was first called to the
baseball pools and the clean up they
had planned to make on the worlds
series games by a Chicago newspaper
last week. AHOrding all the excite
ment OF betting in a handbook, the
baseball pool also in its harvest OF
pennies and nickels is the successor
OF the old policy bank which, was
driven out Of Chicago by the Citizens
Association years ago. Home Run,
LealeT, Consolidated and Lucky Strike
are some of the names OF the larger
pools, while many proprietors Of bill
lizard halls, cigar stores and saloons
frequented by baseball fans are run
ming pools on their own resources
where the prices are smaller but the
chances Of winning are larger. The
prices given by the pools vary from
3354 per cent in the Great Western to
O. gGA NEAE oL LuG money received
from bets in some of the small inde-
pendent pools. The big pools keep a
major portion Of the receipts, allow
ing a generous commission to the
stores which serve as agencies.
Through the season the prizes were
drawn daily, scmi-weekly and weekly
on the basis Of runs made by the Ma
tional League, American League and
American Association teams. For this
weeks worlds series the system has
been modified TO base the drawings on
the runs and hits made by each player
on the Chicago and Cincinnati teams/
No uniformity is followed blythe pools

ing from 10 points and from
i to D points. according to the book.
The biggest play OF the Great West
ern and its operating headquarters are
said by the rival bookmakers TO be at
Chilius' establishment in South Chi
cago. Police have caused very little
annoyance to the baseball gamblers
through the season and they do not
anticipate any trouble in their final
harvest this week.

YALE WOULD meet
WEST POINT TEAM

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Oct Al
though Yale's 1919 football schedule
was arranged with the idea Of fur

not test the strength OF the eleven to
the extreme, leaving the November
matches with Brown, Princeton, and

Of the season, the enthusiasm and at
tendance are greater at the Bowl than
ever before in the history OF the grid
iron sport.
Yale's early games include oppo-
nents Of irst class football traditions.
but with records OF few victories over
the big universities-the Springfield
Training College, which appeared at
the Bowl yesterday, being followed by
the University Of North Carolina and
Maryland State College.
OF Yale's matches for the season
only one viii be played away from
home, the game in the Harvard Sta
dium, November %. Yale had hoped. /.
in arranging its schedule, to have not
only Princeton here in November. but
West Point The Army authorities,
however, did not feel willing to allow
the West Point team to come here
this year
Yale believes that the public would
enjoy more big matches in the Bowl,
and hopes that West FONT may be in
duced to come here in future seasons.
The fact that the gates Of Yale
Field have been opened for practice
only one day this season, and are not
expected to swing aside again, with
the exception Of a small part Of a few
afternoons, has also heightened the
interest in the games Of the team,
while the action Of the Yale manage
-ment in refusing TO advance the
price Of tickets for any Of the games,
contrary to the plan put into effect
this fall by Harvard and many other
universities, gives indication Of SWELL
ing the attendance at both the minor
and the major games.

NEW YORK, Oct. Before he

a bout with BENNY Leonard, world I
lightweight champion. Lewis in
tends to leave for the scene OF his

mOnd Barry, of London. Among those
Lewis will meet Will be Johnny
Basham, welteTweiEht champion of
England IN twenty-round go. II
will be the iTst time these two clever
''welteTs' meet.
The reason for the challenge 10
Leonard is that Lewis, on Labor Dav.
defeated Mike ODowd in Syracuse.
Leonard offered to fight O'Dowd re-
Gently, and Lewis believes that he Is
more entitled to the match than the
Western boy. In the recent bout he
tween Leonard and Lewis opinion was

HAS
LOST Heart,
SAYS EVERS
By JOHNNY EVERs.

CINCINNATI, Oct. THE White
Sox have lost heart and the world
series is over The Reds are prov
ing they are a really great club.
They are playing with q confidence
that is unbeatable. When a team
plays that way it makes its own
'fbreaks
But it's not the breaks that are
winning for the Reds. They are
simply outplaying, outgaming, out
hitting, outfalding and Outmaneu-
vsrine the Sox They are winning
from every angle Of the game.
Again yesterday pitching was a de-
-ciding factor. Euers exhibition was
really wonderful The Sox couldn't
hit him. They showed their nervous
ness BY continually examining the
bail To an experienced baseball man
that showed weakness.
The break In the game came when
Eller got his double. BE has been
hitting all year. He Is a dangerous,
hard hitter, and the hit was no luke.
IL started the Red scoring machinery
and the game was over.
Once more Moran has shown his
complete mastery Of the situation by
his selection Of his pitcher. Much as
] dislike saying so, he has shown
superiority over Gleason in that re-
spect. But the Kid Is 70 be COM
mended for one thing-for sticking
right az his coaching position, even
with the scores decidedly against him.
A real game thoroughbred. Hats on
20 him.
Probable batteries for today:
Reuther and Rariden for the Reds;
Kerr ana Schallz for the Sox.
